Kathy Griffin's Date? Levi Johnston

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 10th 2009 07:01AM

It was either her charm, wit or bank account that did it, but somehow Kathy Griffin was able to land herself a sweet date to the 2009 Teen Choice Awards -- Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson. The 48-year-old comedienne showed up for the awards show's red carpet with the 19-year-old Alaskan on her arm. They held hands and strutted around, with Johnston even hamming it up for the cameras by giving Griffin a smooch ... on the cheek.

While their pairing was very likely a publicity stunt and not an admission of coupledom, Johnston told Access Hollywood that Griffin was "beatiful and funny ... She's the star of the night."

Johnston also told UsMagazine.com how things work between the two. "I just, you know, look at her, shut up and do what I'm told," he said when asked about being her date."

Griffin said tha t"long-distance relationships are not easy, especially when he's in his igloo and I'm in my Hollywood tower." She went on to taunt other hot stars at the show. "Miley (Cyrus), try to top this!" she joked.

This is one smart, media-savvy gal! She knows exactly what's she's going and takes the risks necessary to achieve her goal. Amazing. Of course it points out the obvious, that Palin's ex has the IQ of a snail. But nobody ever accused that family of hanging with the bright ones, after all. This is hysterical!

Levi Johnston - young jerk who barely made it out of high school, who has sex with his young girlfriend, getting her pregnant, acting like he's going to marry her so he can get in on the Palin spotlight, then dropping all responsibility while badmouthing the family who accepted this son of a whoring drug addicted crack dealer into their family. Add into the mix a talentless dried up old prune of a celebrity and you have the makings for a reality show. Something along the lines of washed up never has beens who seek the spotlight. Hope they give each other herpes.

OBVIOUSLY
this is another one of Kathy's stunts :)
If you've ever watched D-List you would know that she's always doing this kind of stuff.
Shopping with Paris Hilton? She wants (needs) the publicity, and she's not afraid to say it!

Keep it up Kathy!

She makes me puke...and so does he! I turn off any program that features either of them, and that includes Larry King.

Kathy is great! Come on people, its a Faux date! She is a great comedian! Take it as its supposed to be a hilarious joke.

Please... get a life. Levi was ousted by the Palins. He DESERVES to be happy!

This is funny. Levi is a nice looking guy. Who said he is the one who backed out of the marriage with Bristol? He was very lucky not to have married her. Their son will always keep them together without the ring. This is funny though. We always see men with this age difference and their women. Why not the other way around? Good for Kathy.

careful...Fred. Your red neck is glowing.

he was nalin palin!.

Why would aol even report this. Is this what people are supposed to do? Get their girlfriend pregnant and then walk out on her for a woman 28 years his elder. How sick is that!! Where are his parents in this whole thing. I would be embarrassed to have such a child. And for Mrs. Griffin. She is just sick. Is this the way to act? I think that show business must turn people's brains to mush.

By Krista

Okay, Griffin is a comedienne. She does this kind of stuff to get a reaction out of people. She's not actually going out with him, it's a joke.

OMG! YOUR IGNORANCE IS SHOWING!

So, SO many lame people here love to criticize people for their looks and talents - or subjectively, their lack thereof. Hypocrites, no doubt. Losers.

Sour puss...

I have reported your ignorant, childish and trashy comment. You must be a real loser, and stupid to boot!
