Bristol Palin, the oldest daughter of vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin, is 17, unwed and pregnant. Her boyfriend, a redneck, isn't sure if he wants to be a dad. Sound familiar? Perhaps Bristol should call up Jamie Lynn Spears for a little helpful advice.

"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned," says the Palin family in a written statement. "As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support."

Just as Jamie Lynn became engaged to her then-resistant boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, the rumor is Bristol will marry her boyfriend, Levi Johnston, who according to his MySpace page that was subsequently taken down, doesn't want kids. A high school jock, 17-year-old Levi, stated online that "I'm a f---in' redneck" who enjoys snowboarding and riding dirt bikes, "but I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s---- and just f----in' chillin' I guess."

"Ya f--- with me I'll kick [your] ass," he added.

Celeb blogger Perez Hilton also unearthed some scandalous photos of Bristol and her underage friends boozing it up. The photos (like Miley's racy cellphone pics) have not and probably never will be confirmed.
