(Newser) – Oprah Winfrey taped her interview with Sarah Palin yesterday, posting a video on her Twitter feed (watch it at left) where she says they “talked about everything”—including the campaign, Bristol’s pregnancy, the Palins’ marriage, and, of course, Levi Johnston. Apparently, though, no trash was talked about Johnston, a fact that a reporter shared with the thud-muffin last night. Johnston says that’s a good thing—for Palin, the New York Daily News reports.

"She's being smart," he says. "She knows what I got on her. It's a smart move on her part.” The interview airs Monday.

Bristol's Memoir: Not Afraid of Life

How much will she spill?

(NEWSER) - Bristol Palin is writing a memoir after all—daringly called Not Afraid of Life—and besides some dope on her famous mom, the tome will include a bit of dish on Dancing With the Stars and two-time Bristol heartbreaker Levi Johnston. It looked for a time like Bristol's memoir, posted briefly then yanked from Amazon.com, was just a rumor. But now publisher William Morrow has promised the book will be out this spring and will give readers "an inside look at her life," reports the New York Daily News . More»

The Video That Broke Up Bristol and Levi

And, perhaps, launched Levi Johnston's acting career? Time will tell...

(NEWSER) - Bristol Palin made it clear that Levi Johnston's decision to star in a "music video mocking my family" was the final straw in her decision to dump him. Well, the wait is over: That video, for Brittani Senser's "After Love," is out, and it's just about as awkward as you'd expect. Johnston (who was chosen to star "because he's handsome," Senser tells E! ) spends most of it making out with Senser and looking sad in the rain as his girlfriend's mom evilly conspires to ruin their relationship.

Bristol, Levi in Reality Show Talks

Oh yes, it's (probably) happening

(NEWSER) - Set your DVRs now: Looks like the Bristol Palin-Levi Johnston reality show is actually in the works. Insiders tell TMZ the reunited pair is shopping “multiple reality shows” (because obviously the world needs more than one).

Levi, Kathy Plan 'Love Igloo'

Plus, Levi dishes on Palins' marital problems

(NEWSER) - Kathy Griffin rehashed her date with Levi Johnston last night on Larry King Live, in what the Huffington Post and Gawker declare quite possibly the most entertaining segment in the show’s history. Amid recollections of “spooning” in the arms of her “tiger” and imagining their “love igloo,” Griffin asked Johnston about his Bristol tattoo, the Jonas Brothers vs. John McCain, and Miley Cyrus’ “inappropriate”—Johnston’s word—pole dance.
