Bristol Palin was only 17 years old when she appeared pregnant alongside her mother Sarah Palin as the former Alaskan governor vied to become the Vice President, and now it's four years later and she has her own reality-TV show!

The 21-year-old single mother from Wasilla is laying her life out for a new reality show on Lifetime called Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp, and RadarOnline.com has a sneak peek.

Levi Johnston is penniless and living with his jailbird mom at her home in Alaska, according to a new report.

The father of former Republican vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin's grandson, Tripp, has been left broke after blowing through an estimated $1 million in earnings on "guns, boats and four-wheelers."

A three-legged grizzly bear didn’t let his disability slow him down as he bounded across the plains of the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska.

Nicknamed Tripaweed, the sight of the unbalanced bear was celebrated by park officials who first spotted him last July with his bloody stump, but feared  he wouldn’t survive the harsh winter.

“He's got a real funny gait. It's his right front leg, and he keeps it completely off the ground. He kind of hops around," park wildlife biologist Pat Owen told the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.

Bristol Palin has begun filming her new reality show, Life is a Tripp, with her three-year-old son, but there is one person who will be conspicuously absent from the show -- her ex-boyfriend and baby daddy!

The daughter of former Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin wanted Levi Johnston to be on her latest television project, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that he turned her down flat.

She’s 23, is learning to fly, hunts her own food -- and does not want to marry her cousin!

Ariel Tweto, the adorable spitfire star of Eskimo heritage from the reality show Flying Wild Alaska spoke exclusively to RadarOnline.com about the action packed season two of her show and weighed in on the former first family of her home state.

“I met Todd Palin when he competed in the Iron Dog Race and he’s awesome!” Ariel said about former republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s husband Todd, who passed through her village on the race.

She’s even met Bristol, but in this case she wasn’t exactly a fan. “My younger sister played basketball against Bristol’s team so I cheered for my sister,” she revealed.

Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin announced Wednesday that she will not be throwing her hat into the ring for the 2012 presidential race.

Palin made the announcement via a statement to conservative radio host Mark Levin, stating that she believes she will have more impact outside of the race.

“I believe that at this time I can be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office – from the nation’s governors to Congressional seats and the Presidency,” the statement says. “Know that by working together we can bring this country back – and as I’ve always said, one doesn’t need a title to help do it.”

Who is hotter, Sarah Palin or her daughter Bristol? 

Well, Levi Johnston definitely has an opinon and RadarOnline.com has the audio from a radio interview where he picked which one of the Palin women he’d rather have sex with.

On WLS Radio Chicago’s Roe Conn & Richard Reoper Show, radio legend Steve Dahl joined the crew and asked the 21-year-old Alaskan author of Deer In the Headlights “Who would you do?”

Sarah Palin is used to taking a beating, so the new tell-all book that claims to reveal shocking secrets about her alleged cocaine use and an extramarital affair with her husband’s business partner, won’t affect her, a political analyst exclusively told RadarOnline.com.

“If she chooses to run, she’s going to run,” political analyst and owner of Serafin & Associates PR, Thom Serafin, told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

“She’s resilient as hell. Because of who she is and her followers and being a public figure with incredible star power, this just will add to the aroma so to speak, coming from the kitchen.”

He won't be Mr. Mayor anytime soon.

Levi Johnston has put off his political career for now, deciding that he is not going to run for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

"He isn't running," his manager Tank Jones told RadarOnline.com. "Levi doesn't want the office of the Mayor to be a joke and so he's not going to do it right now."

Mercede Johnston is letting it all hang out in the September issue of Playboy.

Levi Johnston's 18-year-old sister has posed nude for the men's mag, and blasted her brother's almost-mother-in-law Sarah Palin in the accompanying interview.

"I think she'd have had a mental breakdown" if she'd become president, Mercede told interviewer George Gurley.  "As governor she quit on us. What does that say about her?"

Mercede took on her her brother's baby mama, Bristol Palin. She claimed that after Bristol found out she was pregnant, she sent Levi a text message that said, "Ever since I found out I was pregnant, I prayed to God you weren't the father."

She also told Playboy that Bristol's brother Track, 22, didn't go into the Army of his own choosing. "His mom made him," Mercede said.  She wanted him "out of the way so when she was at the convention they wouldn't know he does drugs and would think he was a patriot."

Mercede and Levi's own mother, Sherry Johnston, was convicted in 2009 of dealing OxyContin.  She is serving her three year sentence under house arrest with an ankle monitoring device.

The Hatfields and McCoys of Wasilla, Alaska -- as many have taken to calling the Palins and Johnstons -- are showing no signs of ever making peace.

Mercede insists that she can't get a job in her home town because of the Palins, while also saying that "70 percent" of the residents "can't stand" their former mayor and governor.
