Levi Johnston Poses For Vanity Fair, Talks Playgirl And His 'Johnson' (VIDEO, POLL)

Vanity Fair has posted behind-the-scenes video from their photo shoot with Levi Johnston to accompany their October 2009 story "Me and Mrs. Palin." In the beginning, Johnston's handler Tank Jones teases Levi about his transformation from "Wasilla wear" to "Vanity Fair wear." Johnston then poses in designer clothes on the ledge of a building and in the back of a limo holding Sarah Palin masks.

The best exchange comes 3:29 minutes in, when Tank asks Levi if he's thought about doing Playgirl. Levi, wearing aviator sunglasses and sitting in the backseat of an SUV, says "I'd do it...if it would get me out of there." Tank then lectures Levi on what it takes to be in the nude magazine: "You've gotta have some johnson. You can can't come in there lacking in the johnson area. You've gotta unfold some things....[A ]dude posed for the magazine and they had to add an extra leaf to fold out for him...[so] I'm saying, do you need extra magazine or do you don't [sic] need that?"

"You're just gonna have to see, Tank," Levi answers.

Yes, this certainly confirms my feeling that here in Levi Johnston we had an individual of depth and gravitas, surely someone whose every word - particularly on Sarah Palin - was worth hanging on to for dear life.... just like HuffPost has been doing. But then, I always suspected HuffPost of gravitas nearly rivalling Levi Johnston's....

And the Wasilla Hillbillie was someone who conveyed "depth and gravitas"? Puh-leeze: The woman operates on kitsch and hairspray fumes!

Why would Levi Johnston ruin his rep posing for Playgirl when the photo shoot won't show any more of his fine body than Vanity Fair? I would skip the $ and save my rep...he's a child.

I love Levi. Go for it Levi!

It's only fair...Sarah exploited her family as far as it would take her. So now Levi is returning the favor. I don't get the gag reflex watching or hearing him, however.

As a teen parent, he's going to need the money.

Get your 15 minutes Levi and don't go back to Wasilla. They shouldn't have used him and threw him to the wolves when they didn't win the election. Palin tried to make her daughter into a celebrity so why can't Levi have his 15 minutes. Palin is the worst, that's what happens when you use people.......

As long as Levi is making money, I think he should continue doing exactly what he is doing. He seems like a nice kid, but I would keep him away from Tank, who seems to be corrupting the kid more than life in Wasilla did!

Wrong question. Why is the "handler" featured in every Levi story? Levi, babe, you are so being played. And you know you've made enough to rent an apartment in Boise or Renton, you've got enough pull to get a job at a lumberyard or get into an apprentice program outside Alaska -- which is what you want, right?

So do it. Or become Jon Gosslin. Forever. Face it, at this point, you're living off Palin's skanky bones.

I think it's more exciting and rewarding financially being Jon Gosslin instead of working in a lumber yard.....

This guy, just like his almost mother-in-law, needs to go away!

Levi needs to ad a fashion designer to his new posse. "Wasilla Wear" has a nice ring to it. Just a scosh of GQ/Vanity Fair is all it needs. Don't forget to accessorize with a tin of wasilla tobacca.

I wanna see a photo shoot of GQ Levi standing next to Susan Sarandon (Field of Dreams) in Vanity Fair. Or Paris HIlton helping him out of a limo. Or alone on a beach in LA. With his arm around George Clooney on a boat on the lake or at a club in Italy out partying? A spoof on Hollywood.
He's adorable because he's Levi and Levi only. And if you're ridiculously thrust into the spotlight and you have a baby to feed, why not?

I wish him all the luck,at least he is making some honest money.
He is not hurting not one,and he spilling the beans about Sara.

I would love to hear from other ex boyfriends/girlfirends of teenage kids of other politicians. Mabye Ashely Biden's ex could spill the beans about her coaine use when Joe wasn't looking. Or Al Gore Jr's ex g/f could talk about his binge drinking and Prius speeding.

I wonder it Vanity Fair would give them interviews too?

sounds like sour grapes to me.

[mudkitten]

I think the point is they don't have beans to spill.

Does anybody here think that what Levi is doing is good for Tripp? Or does your total hate for Sarah over ride that?

[Unrepentant]

If he is earning a living doing this nonsense, then that's good for Trip.

Now that was one silly statement. He is earning money to support his son. If he wasn't earning money, you all would jump on him for that. I hope you aren't a parent.
