Two Nude Mags Vie for Levi's Johnston

Playgirl.com and Unzipped both want a piece of Levi Johnston naked -- and according to the manager for Sarah Palin's would-be son-in-law, he's interested.

As former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin contemplates her post-gubernatorial political future, Levi Johnston, the father of her first grandson, by daughter Bristol, is mulling over offers to pose nude for two magazines with largely (if not almost exclusively) gay readerships.

In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Tank Jones, Levi’s manager-bodyguard, confirmed to Advocate.com that negotiations were underway with both Unzipped Media and Playgirl.com to have Bristol Palin’s baby daddy take it all off for an exclusive photo shoot.

“Naw, that’s serious. Mr. Butler is doing that,” Jones said, referring to Levi’s lawyer, Rex Butler, when asked if such a photo shoot might actually happen.

Rick Andreoli, executive editor of Unzipped Media -- whose owners also own The Advocate -- also confirmed that Unzipped magazine had made an overture to Levi about appearing au naturel in an upcoming issue.

“When Levi was on Bravo saying that he was willing to pose nude if the offer was right, we made an offer to Tank Jones and we’re waiting to hear back on that,” Andreoli said.

The specter of Johnston doing a nude photo spread was raised by behind-the-scenes video from a photo shoot set to accompany a feature titled "Me and Mrs. Palin" in the October 2009 issue of Vanity Fair. In the video Jones and Levi are captured discussing a potential Playgirl pictorial while riding in an SUV.

"I'd do it ... if it would get me out of there," Levi says when Tank initially asks him about posing in the buff.

    This is just the Reagans: The Sequel. Sarah Palin is to Nancy Reagan as Levi Johnston is to Patti Davis. Except, now it's a guy and he's just going to pose in his underwear. So I guess he's Ron Reagan, jr.

    good point justareader Ah yes, the emotional maturity of the homosexual community. Middle-aged men acting like 14-year-olds, I've seen it all my life. Plus with some good old fashioned revenge at Sarah Palin for her crime of not aborting her youngest child. How dare she? How dare she not bow down at the altar of homosexuality? Let's destroy her and her whole family, all in the name of tolerance of course. The Left only supports Communists, Socialists, anti-white racists, eco-terrorists and Muslim terrorists (they hate America-that's a good thing!), lazy druggy welfare abusers who pop out crack babies so they'll drain school funds and anyone else who doesn't want to work (communism). The Left attacks and taxes small and large business owners (who provide jobs) because they make a little too much! Democrats hate and are not tolerant and gays are the worst in the Dem party--if you're religious and won't kill your baby by having it chopped and vacuumed while in the womb you're evil!

    Well, Levi sure is cute! I'd like it if he posed. It would also be somewhat funny that, previously, he had knocked up the daughter of a GOP leading lady to boot.

    he has the looks, the body, and the wow factor........palin could try and block him seeing his child (if it is his) but would lose out in the courts he has to earn a living and as they say "if you got it use it"
