HOLD ON TO YOUR gene pool, folks.
Levi Johnston
has another child.
The ex-paramour of Bristol Palin and father of their 4-year-old son, Tripp, welcomed a baby girl into the world with gal pal Sunny Oglesby.
The pregnancy was most definitely unplanned.
Johnston extended the trend of giving his children unconventional names. Say hello to Breeze Beretta Johnston. Beretta, like the gun.
That's not a joke.
Oglesby told "Inside Edition" that she wanted Johnston to propose before she popped, but reports still have her listed as girlfriend. In the same interview, Johnston explained how they met: "I seen her on Facebook - a picture - and I called my friend and said, 'Get her.' "
Ah, romance!
Beck is back
Conservative commentator
Glenn Beck
will be back on a TV screen near you. Nearly a year after leaving Fox News because of low ratings and criticism about his increasingly extreme viewpoint, Beck's The Blaze, a 24-hour online news and opinion network, will be available to DISH subscribers. The Blaze has about 300,000 subscribers.
DISH customers will be able to watch Beck whenever they want, but shows like "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad" are still inaccessible because of stalled contract negotiations between the cable provider and AMC Networks, the company that owns AMC, IFC, Sundance and WEtv.
Primed for Pussy Riot
Russian Prime Minister
Dmitry Medvedev
: radical feminist?
On Wednesday, Medvedev called for the release of three members of the femme-focused punk-rock band Pussy Riot, who are serving a two-year sentence after being convicted of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred." The band was arrested in March because of a concert they gave inside Moscow's most prominent Russian Orthodox church, during which they criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The incarcerated Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich were held for six months before ultimately receiving their sentence. "In my opinion, probation would have been sufficient punishment, considering all the time they've already spent behind bars," Medvedev said.
Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina and Samutsevich have an appeal hearing coming up on Oct. 1, and the PM's support is good for their cause.
Bates bounces back
Actress
Kathy Bates
announced via Twitter on Wednesday that she underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer two months ago.
"Luckily, I don't have to undergo radiation or chemo," Bates told People magazine. "My family calls me Kat because I always land on my feet, and thankfully this is no exception."
With her typical wit, the "Misery" Oscar winner tweeted, "I don't miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry's Law. ;-)," referring to her NBC procedural that was canceled at the end of last season.
Culkin, alone

"He likes to live as a child," the source said. "Growing up has not been good to Macaulay."
