A Judge in Alaska ruled on December 22nd, that the records in the custody case of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston be open to the public, dismissing arguments that the publicity could damage 1 year Tripp, the object of the dispute. Levi Johnston sought public disclosure, according to the Anchorage Daily News, saying in an affidavit “I know that public scrutiny will simplify this matter and act as a check against anyone’s need to be overly vindictive, aggressive or malicious, not that Bristol would ever be that way, nor that I would. But her mother is powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive, so I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin’s instinct to attack.”

The two Taylors – Lautner and Swift – have ended their relationship, that according to an exclusive US Weekly report. It is so sad and surprising too, because it all appeared so authentic, what with Lautner having a boyfriend.
