According to an MSNBC gossip columnist, the fevered auction among glossy celebrity rags for photos of Bristol Palin's newborn went from 100 to $300K after the child's less celebrated grandmother was charged with several drug offenses.
"The bidding started well before the baby was born, but once Levi’s mom was arrested — well, then you had a story," says one editor.
Depending on the distribution of proceeds, the payment could narrowly avoid violating Alaska's "
Son of Sam Law," which aims to
prevent criminal defendants from profiting on their transgressions.
