After confirming that he and fiancee (and the mother of his son) Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska governor Sarah Palin, had broken up, Levi Johnston is appearing on Good Morning America today. The new father (son Tripp was born in December) claims they broke up a week ago and suggested it's not over, "We'll just remain friends for now. We're both cool with that decision, and we'll see... We were just, we were in a fight. And trying to see if we can make things work. But this is what it kind of ended up turning into... It's just us not, me not being mature enough, or something, and having a kid and thinking ... it could be better -- better for us to separate for a while." Spoken like a 19-year-old! As for Bristol, she took her mom's place at a state mini golf event while the Governor was helping a Girl Scout troop sell cookies (the troop was robbed!) at a supermarket. Palin, with kids Willow, Piper and Trig plus grandson Tripp in tow, told People that her 18-year-old daughter was doing great.

Famous Alaskan teen parents Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have confirmed their break-up to the Associated Press. The couple's relationship and pregnancy became an unavoidable talking point since Palin's mother, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, was the 2008 Republican VP candidate; the couple made a very public appearance at the Republican National Convention and their baby Tripp was born on Dec. 27. Today, Johnston said that they decided to mutually break up "a while ago" but his sister Mercede told Star there were bigger problems, "Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible. She tells him he can't take the baby to our house because she doesn't want him around 'white trash'!" Bristol Palin, who just last month said they were getting married, is "devastated" about the Star article and said, "Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to 'cash in' on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth."

This weekend: E.T. at Cafe Grumpy, Palin Family All Star Revue and Election Spectacular at UCB, imagining Life After Bush at HERE Arts Center, the opening of the 92 St Y in Tribeca, Cats! Zombies! And More!

A month after VP candidate Sarah Palin announced her daughter was pregnant, the baby's father is speaking to the media elite--the AP reporter outside his house. Levi Johnston, 18, who dropped out of high school to become an apprentice electrician, said he and Bristol Palin, 17, "both love each other" and weren't pressured, "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid. That was the plan from the start." Also, Palin fans can send blue booties with rifles on them: "I'm looking forward to having him. I'm going to take him hunting and fishing." And while Johnston said Barack Obama "seems like a good guy. I like him," he's rooting for John McCain and Palin: "I just hope she wins. She's my future mother-in-law. She better win."

The Republican party may be trying to make the best of their Gustav-affected convention, but the news that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant has thrown a lot of attention onto things other than why John McCain should be president.
