In what could be the most predictable news ever, it turns out that Donald Trump and his wife NEVER sleep together.

Courtesy of US Magazine: 

“They have separate bedrooms,” says another Trump insider. “They never spend the night together — ever.” (A third source says the couple do sleep in the same room but keep separate beds: “It’s very ‘royal’ of them!”) 

Upset with the former reality star for trapping her in a life she despises, “Melania wants as little to do with Donald as possible,” explains the family source. “She is not interested in Donald, the presidency or anything involving him.” A rep for Melania denies the claims telling Us, "It’s unfortunate that you are going to feature unnamed 'sources' that have provided fictional accounts."

"Fictional accounts." 

Well we might accept that if we did not have eyes of our own.

That is NOT a woman who is excited about the prospect of spending the night in this man's bed.

I think US Magazine has good sources on this.

So apparently Bristol's new baby bump is female.

Courtesy of US Magazine: 

The future is female. Bristol Palin revealed that she’s having a baby girl with husband Dakota Meyer in a sweet post to Instagram on Thursday, March 2. 

“Dakota and Tripp officially outnumbered 🙈🤗,” the proud mom-to-be, 26, captioned an image of herself gazing lovingly at Meyer, 28, as he holds up a sign announcing the baby’s gender. “So excited to let you all know, ITS A GIRL!! 💕”

The couple announced their happy baby news — Palin’s (cough cough) third child, and her second with Meyer — on December 9 in a joint statement to Entertainment Tonight. 

“We are so excited to announce that our family is expanding!” they said at the time. “God has blessed us so much; we are thankful for His grace and new beginnings. A springtime baby in the Meyer home and we can’t wait!”

This news broke the other day, but there were too many important news stories to give a shit about it then. 

Can't say that I really give much of a shit about it today either, but you know an occasional Palin story doesn't do any harm

By the way do you remember that my Palin family source once said that Sarah used pregnancies to control Todd, and convince him to let her do what she wanted?

Just thought that was interesting in light of Bristol's new pregnancy.

So I guess naked Donald Trump statues all over the country is now a thing. Probably NSFW. Update!

Thank god I'm not eating.

Courtesy of US Magazine:  

The statues, which have found homes in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland and New York City, are part of a project called “The Emperor Has No Balls” — a not-so-subtle nod to Hans Christian Andersen’s storybook tale, The Emperor’s New Clothes, about an overconfident leader with no wardrobe. 

While the mogul’s likenesses are stripped of their clothing, the figures are also missing an integral part of the male anatomy. A spokesman for INDECLINE opened up to The Washington Post about the inspiration behind the Trump sculptures on Thursday, August 18. 

“Like it or not, Trump is a larger-than-life figure in world culture at the moment,” the spokesman told the newspaper. “Looking back in history, that’s how those figures were memorialized and idolized in their time — with statues.”

You know if Trump had any sense of shame this might be enough to convince him to drop out of the race.

Yeah, that's not good for the old self image.

Things I no longer say:

"Surely this election cycle cannot get any more bizarre."

"The Republicans can't possibly still think they can use Benghazi and the private e-mail server to attack Hillary Clinton."

And "That is probably the dumbest thing Donald Trump will ever say."

Damn I knew I should have picked up eye bleach at the store yesterday.

Update: New York parks department responds to the statues.

This is not a joke. This is an actual statement. Repeat, this is an actual statement.This is not a joke. https://t.co/aomKKwyOx5

Yes. I'm having fun with this. 

It looks like the good news about Levi Johnston's custody situation has caught fire. Update!

So I shared with you Levi's Facebook post yesterday about the end of his struggle with Bristol Palin over child custody.

I think I might have been the first one to do so in fact, but since then it has been picked up by quite a number of news outlets.

Such as Radar Online: 

Levi Johnston is speaking out about his bitter custody fight over Tripp, his 7-year-old son with his ex, Bristol Palin.

E online:  

Levi Johnston's perseverance paid off. 

Bristol Palin's former fiancé took to Facebook Tuesday to announce that they have finally reached a custody agreement over their son, Tripp Johnston, now 7. In 2009, Levi announced that he was going to sue his high school sweetheart for joint custody of Tripp after alleging that the entire Palin family was making it difficult for him to see his son. The exes reached a child custody stipulation in 2010, allowing Levi to see Tripp on Saturdays between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and Wednesdays from 12:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. The court never approved Levi and Bristol's agreement, however, so it never became finalized. The case was dismissed in 2012 for lack of activity. Then, in 2013, Levi filed a petition in which he sought at least equal custody of Tripp.

US Magazine:

It took seven years and over $100,000, but according to Bristol Palin's ex Levi Johnston, it was worth everything to get joint custody of their son, Tripp. 

Palin's former fiancé took to Facebook on Tuesday, February 23, to give his side of the long and expensive custody battle he's faced in order to legally establish his right to coparent his son.

People Magazine:  

Looks like a win for Levi Johnston. 

The ex-fiancé of Bristol Palin and father of her oldest child, son Tripp, took to Facebook on Tuesday, outlining, in his own words, the end of his ongoing custody battle with the Alaska native. 

Hollywood Life: 

Look who is shocking everyone, Levi Johnston — and for good reason! Bristol Palin’s ex-fiancé has stepped up big time as a father and he wants us all to know. The Alaskan native announced on Facebook that it took seven years and $100,000, but he officially got joint custody of their son, Tripp.

And the Daily Mail:  

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have finally settled their child custody dispute over son Tripp seven years after the young boy was born.

Is anybody else picking up a kind of gleeful vibe from some of these news stories, as if the authors kind of enjoy watching the Palins taking one on the chin?

Personally I am happy to report that Levi's post is still up on his Facebook page.

I think we can say with some confidence that the Palins cannot be too happy that he put it up, and I imagine there have been some aggressive attempts to get him to take it down.

But unlike the last time, when it was removed in less than two hours, it appears that Levi is tired of their shit and is leaving this one up.

Good for him.

Update: Well I spoke too soon because it looks like the post has now been taken down.

No way that happened without pressure from the Palins.

Bristol Palin's pregnancy tantalizes the tabloids. Oh I know a former reality star and washed up politician who is NOT going to like this!

"Palin has not said who the father of her baby is."

Nor will she ever.

Bristol was also featured over at People, US, the Daily Mail, Radar Online, and Perez Hilton.

Most of the articles make a point out of the fact that Bristol has not shared the father's name, though Radar Online claims that sources have told them she has identified Dakota Meyer.

If that is true then she is certainly not sticking to that story, because from what I have been hearing she is simply refusing to identify the father and does not want to even talk about it.

In the meantime the Grizzled Mama continues to link to the Nancy French ghostwritten blogposts over on Brancy's blog, however none of the ones that mention Bristol's pregnancy of course.

Gee it's almost as if she thinks if she doesn't acknowledge it, it will just go away.

You know these people REALLY could have benefited from a sex ed class or two.

The post Bristol Palin's ghostwriter put up about her cancelled wedding goes viral.

Not to brag but I actually knew this whole thing was doomed when I first saw this picture.

So yesterday, as you all know, Nancy French typed out a completely flat and uninformative post about Bristol's cancelled wedding. 

Today the various online news outlets took notice.

Those included the Huffington Post, US Magazine, Radar Online (Who insist on calling Levi a "deadbeat dad," which is not remotely true.),  Fox News, People Magazine, and the list goes on.

Most of the articles are fairly cut and paste, but the comments are a potpourri of Palin bashing and outright mockery.

For my part I have kept my ear to the ground since Bristol stumbled back into Wasilla, and from what I have heard Bristol seems to be mostly relieved, but also not at all certain about what comes next.

She is also treating herself to various extravagant purchases, and outings with friends, to take her mind off of all the online publicity.  And possibly to thumb her nose at her mother.

However if past is prologue that will mean that Bristol will soon focus all of her attention on her son, and that does not bode well for anybody who she feels keeps them apart.

You know like his dad, who of course now has court appointed time with him. 

Levi and Sunny might want to batten down the hatches, because this could get nasty.
