Bristol Palin Could Earn $300,000 For Baby Pics
MSNBC is reporting that the Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston may receive up to $300,000 for the first pictures of their son Tripp. The price didn't soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn't sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.
The drug-related arrest of Johnston's mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.
Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Sunday to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska.
"We think it's wonderful," said Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol's grandmother Sally Heath, who confirmed the news. "The baby is fine and Bristol is doing well. Everyone is excited." The baby's name is Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to Jones.
Bristol is taking correspondence courses to obtain her high school diploma. The baby's father, Levi Johnston, is training to be an electrician. The couple has been together for three years.
My Comments:
Bristol is 18 and the couple has been together for three years? The baby's last name is Johnston and they aren't married? A high school corresponence course? Is that like by mail, a couple of blocks from the school?
