Levi Johnston + Toddlers & Tiaras + Kathy Griffin = Utter Insanity

Kathy Griffin hosted Larry King Live last night, and her guests included pageant kids from T&T, and Levi Johnston, Kathy's Teen Choice Awards date. Levi was funny, but also kinda sad because—like Jordan Catalano—he's hot, but can't read.

Levi talked a little bit of shit on the Palins, saying that "[Sarah] screwed [their relationship] all up," and that he's not looking forward to being around them. Today, Radar posted an interview with Levi, in which he says that the Palins are, in fact, having marital troubles. I think I'm in love with him.

This was perhaps my favorite screen shot ever:

Later on in the program, Kathy talked with some pageant kids from Toddlers & Tiaras. They taught her how to do their walk, and then she asked them if they wanted her to make a call to Child Protective Services.

Eve Ensler's New Monologue Will Take Your Breath Away

I cried watching Eve Ensler performing her new piece, A Teenage Girl's Guide To Surviving Sex Slavery. She ends it, "No one can take anything from you if you do not give it to them."

The Lords Of DogTown

The season premiere of DogTown, a National Geographic Channel show that follows rescued dogs at the largest no-kill animal facility in the U.S. by the same name, will have an extra-special focus tonight: The pit bulls rescued from Atlanta Falcons quarterback and kennel/dog fight ring operator, Michael Vick. The episode focuses 4 of the 50 dogs that were rescued from Vick's compound, some of which have a great fear of humans, intense scarring, and physical illnesses due to abuse. The show follows the dogs' healing process and underscores the fact that pit bulls are affectionate when not in the hands of psychotic boneheads. [LA Times]

30 Days: Gay Adoption Doesn't Go Over Well With Mormon Mom

Morgan Spurlock is the Super-Size Me dude, you know, the one who lived solely on McDonalds until he fucked up his body. Anyway, his show 30 Days, which airs on F/X, is similar to this idea in that he has people live for 30 days in an environment alien to their own. On last night's episode, he had a Mormon woman, who is opposed to homosexuality — and gay adoptions in particular — live with a gay couple who have adopted children. They are a stable, loving family, who go to a church that is accepting of their lifestyle. The idea was to get this woman see that a family is a family is a family, but she just would not budge on her "beliefs," even by the time the 30 days were up. Clip above.
