Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston
Former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin has just announced that she is engaged to baby daddy Levi Johnston. Bristol 19, told US Weekly “We got engaged two weeks ago. It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents.” The reason the couple may not have the approval of the parents is that after Bristol got pregnant with Levi’s baby whom they named Tripp the couple had a falling out after his birth. Johnston went to the media to slam Sarah Palin and the family. He then went on to pose for playgirl. Bristol has gone on to become an advocate for teen pregnancy and abstinence. The couple recently reconnected while working out a custody plan for their son trip and Levi also publicly apologized to the Palin family two weeks ago. From the interview with US Weekly it sounds like mom Sarah may not even know about the engagement yet! Bristol says “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board.” The couple say that they would like to marry as soon as possible but have not yet set a date.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan went to court today in Beverly Hills where Judge Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail and 90 days in an inpatient rehabilitation center. After Lohan heard the sentence she began crying and was then given the chance to plead with the judge for understanding. Judge Revel went on to tell of her history of lies. Lohan had been treading on thin ice since October and had been warned. She later went on to do a no show to a mandatory progress review hearing in May, claiming her passport was stolen while at the Cannes Film Festival. She was fitted with a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet as a result and has been subject to random drug testing, two weeks after getting the SCRAM bracelet it was set off leading to her third arrest warrant. Although she was sentenced to 90 days in jail it is likely that she will only have to serve about a fraction of that time because of the severe overcrowding in the jails where non violent offenders are usually released early. After Lindsay serves her time in jail and in rehab she will still be on probation and be forbidden from drinking alcohol until August of 2011.
