Bristol Gives Levi A Rose

There's a lot of big news in the world of celebrity love and marriage lately - Carrie Underwood, Penélope Cruz and Emily Blunt are all recent brides, but for me, the most interesting once-and-future-romance-among-famous-people is the heartwarming soul connection between Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston. If you missed today's bombshell announcement, Us Magazine is reporting that Bristol and Levi have reconciled and are now engaged. They're pictured on the cover of the new edition, along with their son Tripp, and when the story was published, Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin hadn't been informed. Yowza.

Levi's recent public apology for his "youthful indiscretions" was a clue that something had changed in Palinland, so for those who care about this stuff it wasn't a complete surprise, but it's still a head-scratcher. It wasn't all that long ago that everybody hated everybody up in Wasilla, and Sarah isn't known for the kindness and compassion she extends to people who have crossed her. On the contrary, she can be petty, vindictive and just plain mean. She also doesn't like to share the spotlight. We'll probably never know how Sarah reacted to her first sight of the Us Magazine cover story this week, ("I hope my Mom will accept us," says Bristol) but I'd be willing to bet that at least some of the words she used can't be quoted on the Disney Channel.

Things are heating up again in Wasilla and there's no way to predict what will happen next. For sure it won't be boring.
