Bristol Palin paid up to $300,000 for baby Tripp's photos
MSNBC is reporting that the Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston may receive up to $300,000 for the first pictures of their son Tripp.

The price didn't soar immediately, according to the sources, because Sarah Palin stories just didn't sell all that well for the weeklies on newsstands.

...

The drug-related arrest of Johnston's mother, however, caused the price tag for the photos to go up.

5. Good for them. Will give a young couple a good start in life
that they'll need, versus the millions paid to over bloated movie stars who don't need the money.

8. They are all ready well off
Movie stars at least have a talent and entertain us with their movies. All this couple did was to do what came naturally without protection then name the baby Trip because he was a little accident.

9. "over-bloated"?
dom delouise doesn't make as much money as you think.

when every single mom starts getting a 300K stake for each kid, then i applaud bristol & levi. till then, they're venal.

15. Maybe her mom can shop at Neiman-Marcus on her own account now
Sarah's pretty tight with a dollar, all her pals said. But when someone else is footing the bill, she appears to be quite profligate. I wonder if Bristol is going to just hand the money over to Mommy Dearest, or put it far beyond her reach (if possible)?
