No worries Bristol and Miss California are doing the talking now. Yes Bristol is telling young people not to do what she did as she continues to do it. Bristol needs the money so she will say anything. Now Levi can't see the kid because Bristol and Sarah are afraid to have the blood test done that the court requires. Miss California is looking for a quote from her bible that says it's ok to have nuke photos. She found the quote that says hate gays or something like that she wasn't sure.
