What a Tripp: Out-of-Wedlock Child's Parents to Wed

^{The Look of Love}

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are engaged.

No, I shouldn't be surprised. But REALLY?!

The two have become celebrity whores, the opposite of what I'm sure Sarah Palin was hoping for. Now that The Hills are over, will the young couple be the new Speidi?

Let's review just a few examples of the couple's attempts to stay in the spotlight:

Levi Johnston -

• 1) The Gluteus of a Star: In a spread that remains in infamy, Levi took off his clothes and bared it all for Playgirl. Naked and decked out in hockey attire, it all makes sense: he's the kind of man you want keeping you warm on those cold Alaskan nights.
• 2) His Life on the F-List: Flipping through the channels on a rainy afternoon like this one, you come across things you really wish you'd never seen. A perfect example of this? Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List, in particular the episode featuring none other than her boyfriend (does Bristol know about this?) Levi. As far as crappy TV goes, this was gold. From home décor (animals he's slain) to ice fishing (which beats golf in the competition for the world's most boring sport), the show proved just how entertaining Mr. Johnston is.

Bristol Palin -

• 1) The Not-So-Secret Life of Bristol Palin: The Secret Life of the American Teenager has had many awkward guest stars (from Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson as a flirtatious high school student to Rumer Willis as a pregnant teen) but none quite as fitting as that of Bristol Palin. In her minute on camera, she revealed that she, like main character Amy Juergens, is a teenaged mother at music camp especially for them. The end. After all the hype, it would have been nice to at least see the two interact. Alas, I suppose I'll have to wait until the next time a random semi-famous person appears on my favorite awful television show.
• 2) Palin 2032: Following in her mother's footsteps, Palin has begun a career as an activist and public speaker. As a Candie's Foundation Abstinence Ambassador (um...ok) and a public speaker who charges tens of thousands of dollars to tell kids not to have sex, is it possible she'll one day run for public office? I hear Alaska's in need of a governor willing to stay in the state.

So when the two announced their engagement via US Weekly, it couldn't help but bring back memories of the exclusive the magazine received on the Speidi wedding photos.

The relationship is out in the open, but there are no details about a wedding date and things of the like. Is it true love, a photo op, or - heaven forbid - is she pregnant AGAIN? I guess we'll just have to wait and see if and when "Wasilla Womance" gets picked up by MTV.
