Mercede Johnston, Levi Johnston’s little sister, is happy for him and her soon-to-be sister-in-law Bristol Palin, who announced their engagement early last week.

Mostly happy.

She’s not quite sure why they’re racing down the aisle … and you aren’t alone there, Mercede Johnston. The timing and nature of the announcement was odd.

Recent reports that Levi and Bristol are already in the process of shopping a show about their second engagement and futre nuptials came as no surprise to us.

Noting that she, like Sarah Palin (supposedly), learned the news from Us Weekly, Mercede hints at this ulterior motive for their engagement on her blog:

Levi and Mercede in simpler, pre-celebrity gossip times.

“I have to say with all the odd things going on lately I expected something. However I think there may be more to this picture than we are able to see now.

I would like to take a moment to congratulate my soon to be sister-in-law and my big brother. I sure hope this is a sincere decision that you have thought through carefully Levi, and that it will bring you happiness.

I do wish you guys would take a little more time with this, and do not understand why you are rushing things. Unless of course there is some reason for the hurry.

I am also very happy to see Tripp in Levi’s arms again, and I do know that it will be good for him to have both of his parents back in his life full time from now on. And you know he really does deserve the best that you can provide.

I can’t wait to watch the two of you wed, I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

Levi and Bristol: Will it last?

Man, why do we ever make fun of Kim Kardashian?!?

Granted, the celebrity has no talent and is only famous because she allowed an aspiring hip hop artist to film the pair having sexual intercourse.

But she also seems mostly aware of these facts and, therefore, doesn’t try to act, sing or do much at all except wear sexy outfits. Case in point, from this week: her one-piece at the AMP Energy Bullrun Rally.

Now, at an event for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Miami, the reality star essentially donned lacy lingerie in public. Check out Kim’s outfit below, as she poses with her sisters and even with Selena Gomez:

Kim’s mission is clear: Reggie revenge! She’s obviously accomplished it.

Ho-tel heiress Paris Hilton was detained at an airport on the French Island of Corsica after authorities discovered she had pot in her purse, according to the AFP.

She was found to have less than a gram of pot and was released.

If any of this sounds familiar, that’s because it is. Paris was busted briefly for the same exact thing two weeks ago while watching the World Cup in South Africa.

Cops let the socialite skate after they decided it was a friend who had the weed at that time, and apparently she was quickly let off the hook this time as well.

Bribes go a long way. Just kidding. Mostly.

LIKE, OMG: Leave Paris alone, cops! [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

According to the Mirror (UK), customs officers with drug-sniffing dogs pounced after the multi-millionaire’s flight touched down from Paris (France) on Friday.

Downplaying it, Paris yesterday tried to pass it off as “silly nonsense” posting a message on Twitter saying: “So sick of people making up rumors about me.”

“The latest one about me is completely false too. Don’t believe what you read.” Or you can believe it. An officer at Corsica’s Figari airport said, contrarily:

“We held her for about 45 minutes and had strong words.”

All good now though. Where will she be busted next?

Did Mel Gibson assault Oksana Grigorieva? Police are investigating that matter, but at least right now, a judge doesn’t think he poses a threat to his daughter.

Sources connected with the case say the sworn declaration by Robyn Gibson, Mel’s wife of 28 years, was “powerful evidence” in Thursday’s court proceedings.

Robyn, who split with Mel right around the time he began dating Oksana, swore under oath Mel never physically abused her or their seven kids in 28 years.

The testimony from Robyn resonated with Judge Scott Gordon, a former prosecutor in the L.A. County D.A.’s Office who specialized in domestic violence.

Believing that a man who commits violence against a woman will do so with everyone he’s involved with, Gordon felt Mel posed no danger to his daughter.

Oksana Grigorieva’s secret recordings of Mel Gibson losing it on the phone may have tarnished his reputation, but officials are unsure if he abused her physically.

Robyn’s defense of the actor, along with inconsistencies suggesting the now-infamous Mel Gibson tapes were somehow altered, kept the status quo in place.

The investigation into Gibson’s conduct is ongoing, but for now, the star will retain visitation rights with baby Lucia as well as one overnight a week.

Oksana, who claims he hit her twice, has primary custody.

As for the alleged Oksana Grigorieva abuse photo she says proves he punched her in the face, police aren’t sure her story adds up - nor is her dentist.

Dr. Ross Shelden’s medical charts, photos and examination raise serious questions about her injuries - he sees no evidence Oksana was hit in the mouth. 

However, he does see evidence of a different scenario. 

According to TMZ, Dr. Shelden believes Oksana may have been struck in the left temple, which caused her to bite down so hard, one veneer was completely knocked out and another was damaged. The charts show Oksana’s teeth were fully intact.

Dr. Shelden observed a bruise on Oksana’s left temple, but the photos he took in his office show no such bruising. The doctor’s explanation - Oksana was reluctant to have her picture taken and covered up the bruising with hair and makeup.

Oksana told the dentist that Gibson assaulted her.

As for the mouth, Dr. Shelden’s charts reflect two bite marks on the inside of the lower lip - no swelling or bruising consistent with a punch to the mouth but perhaps instead, marks consistent with “a chain reaction” after a blow to the temple.

There is nothing in the records indicating whether or not the doctor believes Oksana’s wounds may have been self-inflicted, as some have theorized.

Gibson’s lawyers deny he ever attacked Oksana.
