Palin Upset Over Cover Photo

palincover.jpg

Sarah Palin is seeing red and it has everything to do with this latest photo.

Newsweek has placed Palin on its cover sporting some tiny running shorts and a tight red top. The photo was actually taken by photographer Brian Adams for Runner's World and was published this past August.

But Palin's clearly upset that Newsweek decided to publish the shots, calling the cover sexist.

She's especially upset that it was published without permission and against the contract which stated the photos were under embargo for one year following publication. So they wouldn't be able to get published until August 2010.

Palin took to her Facebook account and wrote the following:

The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context.

A rep for Runner's World reveals, "Runner's World did not provide Newsweek with its cover image. It was provided to Newsweek by the photographer's stock agency, without Runner's World's knowledge or permission."

As for Newsweek, their spokesperson admits, "We purchased the photo from an agency and were not aware of any issues with it."

So the question still remains, who sold the photo and was the contract violated?

But please, we don't buy that Palin's upset over the cover. We hate admitting this, but we bet she knows she looks hot in that photo!

The photo might be out of context, but do U really think it's sexist?

Sexy Sarah Gives The Big O BIG Ratings!

ap090726033989sp__opt21__opt1.jpg

Her highest ratings in two years to be exact!

Oprah Winfrey's interview with Sarah Palin had an 8.7 household rating, which was the best she's had since the Osmond family appeared on the show back in 2007.

Palin even beat Whitney Houston's interview!

We think it must be out of sheer curiosity! Palin can't have that many fans, can she?

Sarah has been promoting her book, Going Rogue, all over the place, including an interview with Barbara Walters. When asked if she would play a major role in the presidential election in 2012 she declared that "if people will have me, I will."

NO, thank you!

Oh, and speaking of books….

Levi Johnston Is A Tease!

wenn5384664lj.jpg

How dare you toy with our emotions like this!

It has been revealed that Levi Johnston's Playgirl shoot will NOT be showing full-frontal nudity!

Both Levi and his manager, Tank Jones, previously said that he would be showing off all the goods, but the pictorial was shot last week and Daniel Nardicio, spokesman for Playgirl, says:

"We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them, but although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity."

Tragic.

Then we better see a whole lotta ass to make up for it!

Katie Couric Responds To Sarah Palin!

ap090726033989sp__opt21.jpg

We're sure that Sarah Palin had hoped that adding in some stories with famous names attached in her new book, Going Rogue, would garner her some attention.

Hard to sell a book these days that isn't filled with gossip or vampires!

But, it seems that her mission has backfired as while she made have attempted to ruffle some feathers with her book, really all she did was prove she is an idiot!

Don't you just love when that happens?

Pathetic Palin first took a stab at Alec Baldwin and her guest appearance with him on SNL. According to Palin, she had other ideas than the one chosen for her skit, but they were all refuted and turned down by the actor. She makes it sound like Alec is a some big, bad bully, when truly, her ideas sucked and they told her so! She wanted to add a line in reference to Baldwin's supposed claim that if George Bush won his second term in office, he would leave the country.

Problem is, and as Alec's rep, Matt Hiltzik explained to the press, this never happened.

He says:

“They nixed the joke because the underlying premise just wasn’t true, because he had never said [he was leaving the country]. It’s a complete fallacy. But then, once Palin knew that, after telling her [it wasn't true], she said, ‘Well, let’s say it anyway,’ like she needed it to be true.”

Of course! She couldn't come off looking like an imbecile - again!

But perhaps the biggest display of her idiocy is portrayed in her infamous Katie Couric interview. Palin claims that she was badgered thought the interview, which is a pretty hefty claim against Katie. However, her rep, who is also Matt Hiltzik, had only one thing to say:

“The interview speaks for itself.”

It most certainly does!

How's that massive hole you are digging for yourself there, Palin?

Sarah Palin "Devastated" By Bristol's Pregnancy!

sara-palin__opt1.jpg

Sexy Sarah sat down with Barbara Walters recently for an interview with 20/20, and Miz Palin had no problem telling the the truth when discussing daughter Bristol's pregnancy!

"Truthfully, we were devastated," Palin told Walters of discovering Bristol was pregnant with Levi Johnston's baby.

No shit!

Sexy Sarah goes on to say the fam had no clue Bristol was sleeping with Levi but quickly came to terms with it.

Too bad for you that your daughter decided to hook up with a classic fame whore!

Levi Isn't Attending A Very Palin Thanksgiving

palinlevi__opt1.jpg

Despite Sarah Palin's heartfelt invitation to have Levi Johnston come to the house for Thanksgiving as "one of the family", Levi is respectfully declining the invite she discussed on her Oprah appearance.

The Playgirl model said of Sarah that "you could tell by her laugh she was full of it." He also said that is was "a nice gesture, but she didn't mean it" and that a Thanksgiving with the family would be "awkward."

We'll say!

What would you talk about around the dinner table? Your lingam's national debut?

Which we cannot WAIT to see by the way!

Sexy Sarah Goes Rogue And Slams Katie Couric!

katesarah.jpg

In her 413-page excuse for validity, Going Rogue, Sarah Palin criticizes CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric over their infamous 2008 interview.

Palin claims that McCain campaign aide Nicolle Wallace encouraged the interview and told her how much Katie admired her. It was introduced as a favor to Couric, who had low ratings and suffered from low self-esteem. Palin even began to "feel sorry" for the multi-millionaire news anchor.

Bitch, please! As if Katie Couric would have her on to give a self-esteem pep talk!!!

Sexy Sarah claims that Katie surprised her by acting condescending, biased and "badgering."

If she thinks that is bad, how was she gonna handle world leaders?!

In the book, Palin accused Couric of airing "gotcha" moments and editing out the more substantial remarks. Not to mention, going much easier on rival Joe Biden.

Or could it just be that he was prepared for the interview?! It's not like they had a conversation about ponies or anything!

But, Palin wants round 2!

"If I get the opportunity, I'd be thrilled to talk to her again," she said.

Would U watch them go at it?!

Preview Of Sexy Sarah On Oprah

Sexy Sarah Palin's interview with Oprah Winfrey doesn't air until Monday, but here's a little preview of what's to come including tidbits about Levi Johnston and her HOrrific interview with Katie Couric last year.

She's a little easier to stomach when she's not up for vice-president of the country, but she still makes our eyes roll!

We wonder what Levi thinks about being "part of the family"?
