Sarah Palin chats with Oprah


There weren't any great bombshells in today's Oprah's interview with Sarah Palin.

Indeed both seemed to be trying to be particularly careful, and in Palin's case, guarded; Oprah, perhaps, because she had supported Palin's opponent and Palin, perhaps, because she didn't want to give too much away and undermine her book sales.

It was a very mannerly and cordial interview, which makes for not-great TV, but it wasn't undignified either and that's OK too.

A first look at Sarah Palin on Oprah

Sarah Palin's book "Going Rogue" looks to be a big hit and in it she's talking about everything: Katie Couric (reports say Palin only did the interview because she was told Couric was insecure), the issues with the McCain campaign and almost son-in-law Levi Johnston.

But you need not wait to read the book. On Monday, her taped interview with Oprah Winfrey airs.

Here's a preview:

Marge Simpson gets a Playboy cover


First we hear that Levi Johnston -- Sarah Palin's daughter baby daddy -- is taking it all off for Playgirl.

Now we hear the next character to go nekked will be Marge Simpson.

It seems the mother of three, who we'll admit keeps herself in pretty good shape, will be featured in a three-page pictorial, complete with an interview for the November issue. (There will still be a 3D Playmate too.)

Not sure how this will go over with feminist Lisa or what the guys at school will say to Bart, but we're pretty sure Homer will be happy.

And we're happy Homer is not going to take it off for Playgirl. Or, far worse, Mr. Burns. Ewww!

Kathy Griffin and Levi Johnston talk relationships, Miley, and Palins

Comedian Kathy Griffin filled in for Larry King last night on CNN's "Larry King Live," and one of the people she picked to interview was Bristol Palin's ex, Levi Johnston. Johnston, coincidentally, had been Griffin's date the night before at the Teen Choice Awards.

Griffin's shtick throughout most of the interview revolved around her "serious relationship" with Johnston, who is 19 years old. When she joked about waking up in his arms and staring into his "chocolate eyes," and asked him questions about their future life together in Wasilla, Johnston gamely played along, usually with a grin and very short answers. But even in his good mood, Johnston did manage to get in a quick Palin dig later in the interview...

What Bristol's Baby Daddy Told Tyra

Betsy Church, a senior at St. Mary's is here for a week to learn about journalism. So what did we have her do? Watch the Tyra Show of course. Here's her post:

Levi Johnston, ex-fiancé of teen mom Bristol Palin, appeared on The Tyra Show today along with his mother and younger sister.

A good way to make amends with the Palin family? Didn’t appear to be.
