SOME LOOK at an endless run of 90-degree days; oil spills in the Gulf, China, Rio de Janeiro, Michigan and Mumbai; Kansas under water; plus the usual war and famine, and proclaim the end is near. At Tattle, we fear a different signal that the end is coming: Bristol Palin 's baby-daddy, Levi Johnston , wants to enter politics. As part of a reality show, no less. Levi's manager, Tank Jones (it's a sign of the apocalypse that this tool even has a manager), is confirming a report that Johnston is planning to run for city office in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, as part of a reality-TV show.

The actor felt he was ambushed by Today when he and fiancée Hilaria Thomas stepped out. "A story about stalking sure brings out the stalkers in the media," he tweeted. "But, the Today Show?"

Locklear pleads to reckless driving A judge in Santa Barbara, Calif., yesterday dropped a DUI charge against Heather Locklear in a deal that had the actress plead guilty to the lesser charge of reckless driving.

Will Smith top money-maker Hancock star Will Smith, 40, has been named 2008's biggest money-making movie star in a poll of movie theater owners.

Malawi says no 2d child for Madonna Madonna's enemies - and they are legion - rejoiced yesterday as a Malawian judge denied the desire of the Sultana of Self-Hype to acquire a second child from the impoverished, AIDS-ravaged nation in southern Africa. Judge Esme Chombo said allowing Madonna to adopt Chifundo "Mercy" James, 3, would set a bad precedent in bending the nation's residency requirements. In a controversial move that angered Malawian activists, those rules were waived in '06 to allow the then-married Madge to take David Banda home to London.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi , of MTV's faux-reality show Jersey Shore , was arrested yesterday in Seaside Heights on a disorderly-conduct charge. Reports say she was booked for being drunk in public. This was reality, but it could have been the show. Check that: It was the show. It was real, that is, but the cameras were rolling , and it'll all get kneaded into America's leading intellectual examination of Atlantic Coast culture. Photos show a bouffantless Snooki, in a T-shirt with the fetching message SLUT, getting hauled off by a brace of Jersey gendarmes.

It seems we're stuck with Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin as fixtures on the pop culture scene. They're enjoying celebrity - or notoriety - too much to fade back into Alaskan obscurity. Nor does it seem likely that they will become role models for responsible, self-sacrificing marriage. Well, really, who believed they would? They are too young and too overexposed for that. Palin's recent announcement that she has called off (again) her engagement to the father of her child is about as surprising as snow in her hometown.

Revenge pregnancy!!! What a concept! My mom is pregnant, and that makes me so mad I want to get pregnant, too! Where's my boyfriend? These shocking ideas seized the brain of Bristol Palin , according to Levi Johnston in his book Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs (metaphors spill all over the highway!), out Sept. 20. Levi accuses Bristol of getting mad (why?) when her mom, Sarah Palin , announced her pregnancy with Trig , so, hippity-hoppity, Bristol told Levi she wanted to get preggers, and Levi, "too dumb" to use protection (he says that of himself in the book, and we find no reason to disagree)

Bristol Palin - undone by wine coolers! (They still make those?) That proud daughter of Sarah Palin , in line to become America's first Royal Empress, reveals in her new memoir, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, that she was sloshed on the stuff when she lost her virginity to high school stud (and later dropout) Levi Johnston . Bristol, who valiantly waited till she was 20 to write her first memoir (some celebs pen 'em at 16 and 17!), was so coolered-up, she can't remember a blessed second of the sacred event.

Maybe she'll make it this time. Lindsay Lohan , who on Friday ducked another jail term, has voluntarily checked into a drug and alcohol abuse rehab program in the Los Angeles area. LiLo, who is, like, only 24, already has done the rehab thing four times, with stays at Promises in Malibu, Wonderland in L.A., and Cirque Lodge in Utah. Just last month, she did a 23-day post-jail stint at UCLA Medical Center. LiLo went with apparent - that is, photographed - conviction. RadarOnline has posted a pic of LiLo allegedly taken hours before rehab.

How awful is MTV sur-reality show Jersey Shore , whose cast has taken over the otherwise idyllic hamlet of Seaside Heights? So bad, so awful, so hurtful, CNN reports, that Garden State residents say it gives their state a bad rep. In a poll of 1,190 New Jersey voters conducted this month by Connecticut's Quinnipiac University, 54 percent said Jersey Shore was bad for the state's image. The naysayers aren't just fans of Republican Gov. Christie , who has blasted the show and its brainiac stars Snooki, The Situation, and JWoww as part of a Jersey-hating conspiracy by New Yorkers.

Oh, it's a nasty, strange business, politics is. For evidence, we need only turn our eyes north to Alaska, where young Bristol Palin has aimed withering words of scorn, biting as the tundra wind, at the political ambitions of ex-swain Levi Johnston , 20, father of her 19-month-old son, Tripp .
