ZOMG! It’s D-Day! The first sneak peek at Levi Johnston‘s naked pics for Playgirl have hit the interwebs. And, um, yes, this is it. Levi shows off his ... armpit. I wonder what he’s doing in that shower? Bathing, probably.

As he approaches his 16th minute of fame, Levi “The Impregnator” Johnston is getting more and more erratic. Sure, he has had some successes lately. His Playgirl shoot went well and apparently involved a sexy hockey stick in a tribute to hockey moms. Yes, he was just honored with a Fleshbot Award for best mainstream-to-porn crossover. But he’s already planning to star in a movie, which hasn’t been optioned yet, based on a memoir he hasn’t written yet, for which he doesn’t have a publisher. And his super bootleg manager/bodyguard Tank Jones isn’t doing him any favors, besides hooking him up with his brother who trained Johnston for his epic photo shoot. An item in Page Six today revealed that, after the Fleshbot Awards, Jones asked nightclub M2 to pay Levi $3,000 for a visit, and they politely declined. Jones then offered up the boy wonder for $1,800. The club guffawed and said they would give him “a table with a round of soft drinks.” [NY DailyNews, NY Post]

The “Oprah Winfrey Show” has released a couple of clips from the interview with Sarah Palin, which will air on Monday. In one of the clips, Oprah asks Palin whether Levi Johnston, the father of her grandbaby, is invited to the Palins for Thanksgiving. The former Alaska governor replies:

“It’s lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing. Because, he is a part of the family and you want to bring him in the fold and kind of under your wing. And he needs that, too, Oprah. I think he needs to know that he is loved and he has the most beautiful child and this can all work out for good. We don’t have to keep going down this road of controversy and drama all the time. We’re not really into the drama. We don’t really like that. We’re more productive. We have other things to concentrate on.”

Well, so does Levi, Mrs. Palin, or haven’t you heard about his recent Playgirl shoot, hmm? But, really, can you imagine if Levi did join the Palins for Thanksgiving this year? I bet he’d have a hard time telling the difference between his son, Tripp, and Palin’s infant son, Trig. Awkward!

Remember when Levi Johnston and Jon Gosselin ran into each other in New York over the weekend? Unfortunately, the chance meeting gave Gosselin the chance to share parenting advice with Johnston, because he’s, you know, such a role model dad. Here’s what Levi told People magazine about his new bestie:

“He’s a good guy. He’s kind of in the same situation I am right now. He’s a good dad and he gets a lot of bad press. He’s getting the same bad image as I am and it ain’t true. I can relate to that. He was very positive and gave some good advice that I’m going to take.”

Poor Baby Tripp!

When I turned 18, I was told I needed to run out and buy a lottery ticket, cigarettes, and porn. And while I leafed through that issue of Playgirl later that night, chain-smoking and surrounded by a hill of metallic scratchcard dust, I remember thinking, This is sooo gay. There was no way that straight women got off on these terrifying muscled and mulletted men, posing with soccer balls and firemen’s hoses. But I’m not convinced that gay men enjoyed it either. So I, for one, am very excited that the magazine will be given new life with its much-hyped Levi Johnston spread. Last week, in celebration of the impending Levi issue of the iconic American publication, The Daily Beast did a slide show of the most famous lads who posed for Playgirl. After the jump, the highlights—plus we’ve investigated the famous dudes who turned the magazine down. [The Daily Beast]

Jon Gosselin and Levi Johnston ran into each other in New York over the weekend when the two were both in town capitalizing on their 15 minutes before time’s up. Johnston was in the city to shoot his Playgirl spread and Gosselin was in NYC to shoot “promotional TV spots” (whatever that means). Somehow, they managed to find time in their busy schedules to pose for photos together in Times Square. Click over to the NY Daily News’ website to see the full image.

Remember last week when we shared a deep thought from Levi Johnston‘s Twitter page, and Wednesday night when William Shatner did a dramatic reading of Levi’s tweets? Well, those words were not actually written by our favorite Alaskan hunk. That’s right, Levi has a Twitter imposter, just like Tina Fey and “Hour of Power” televangelist Robert H. Schuller. Levi’s lawyer is on the case—he’s demanding that Twitter take the page down and that Conan O’Brien, who introduced that William Shatner segment with the sentence “All real ... we did not make these up,” retract the segment. Sorry, I understand if you need a good cry now. [Huffington Post]

We are a nation obsessed: with Levi Johnston‘s penis, apparently. The Daily Beast digs deep, wondering: “Can Levi Johnston Save Playgirl?” Methinks not. Along with many other magazines, Playgirl all but tanked last year, thanks to plummeting advertising rates, decreased circulation, and the proliferation of online adult content. But the Playgirl brand lingers, and the company plans to reinvent the magazine in the new millennium, courtesy of a series of high-profile spreads. Daniel Nardicio, a consultant brought in to lead the charge, hasn’t previewed what Levi has to offer; although, he adds, “We wouldn’t turn away Levi if he had a small penis.” How generous. Which male celebrities have bared their bods for Playgirl during its illustrious past? Get an eyeful in the slide show. [The Daily Beast]

My weird obsession with Levi Johnston has only been made that much more die-hard ever since I discovered his Twitter. Unfortunately, Levi recently made his feed private (unlike his soon-to-be-seen wang), but not before my beloved Captain Kirk William Shatner got a hold of the best ones for a reading on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.”

Oh, no! Frisky favorite Levi Johnston is having some type of penis-related existential crisis prior to his upcoming nudie Playgirl pictorial. The New York Post reports that Levi is worried about the size of his pecker. “We hear that the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson has been telling folks at the magazine he is worried about how his manhood may look during the shoot.” What if he’s a grower, not a shower? What if when he takes it all off, he doesn’t measure up? The purported shoot location is, unsurprisingly, an ice rink (nice, er, puck?), and rumor has it Levi is worried the chill may cause some unflattering shrinkage. Levi’s man-friend Tank says it ain’t so, but perhaps an on-set fluffer would be in order? [New York Post]

Levi Johnston has more than a foot in his mouth and a soon-to-be-revealed snake in his pants—he’s got wit too! [Twitter]

As you, my pervy friends, already know, Levi Johnston is posing this month for Playgirl. While it remains to be seen whether or not he’ll do full-frontal, just yesterday, the young Johnston tweeted, “Would you show your WANG for $35,000?” Now that’s a big sum of money; we're not sure how much per inch that would work out to for Levi -- but would it get you to take it all off?

“We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family. We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied. Trig is our ‘blessed little angel’ who knows it and is lovingly called that every day of his life. [...] Consider the source ... Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.”

Attention Levi Johnston: show us your wang in Playgirl or go back to your kid in Wasilla. We’re tired of you complaining publicly about Sarah Palin, especially since you don’t have any new dirt!

Thank God someone is here to ask the really important questions in life. [Twitter]

I know you’re all sitting on the edge of your seats waiting to see whether Levi Johnston, Sarah Palin’s grandbaby-daddy, is gonna go full frontal in his upcoming Playgirl spread, but I have some bad news: you’re going to have to wait a little longer. Levi tells Star magazine he hasn’t yet decided whether he’ll show his johnston or not. “I don’t know. I’m going to decide that on the fly. I want to keep it classy. I don’t want to do something I’ll regret.” Oh, come on, Levi, why start worrying about regret, now? Asked what his ex-fiance and mother of his baby, Bristol Palin, thinks about his Playgirl shoot, Levi replied: “We don’t really talk anymore,” before quickly adding, “except about the baby, my son. That’s about it.” [via NY Daily News]

Well, at least according to this imaginative artistic rendering created by illustrator Drew Friedman. But, really, why not? We here at The Frisky are waiting with bated breath for Sarah Palin‘s grandbaby-daddy Levi Johnston to take it all off for Playgirl. Why wouldn’t his mother-in-law-never-to-be be a little curious about what the young buck looks like in the buff? Of course, who knows how much he’ll actually show in the magazine spread. If he pulls a Burt Reynolds, his package may remain a mystery to us and the vice president who wasn’t. [The Daily What]

I see London, I see France, I’m gonna see what’s in Levi Johnston‘s underpants. He’s going to be taking it all off for Playgirl! Levi’s lawyer said yesterday it’s a “foregone conclusion” that he’ll pose for the mag and that the images will be online by the end of the year. He also revealed that Levi’s hired a personal trainer and is working out three hours a day, six days a week to get ready for the photo shoot. Though judging from photos we’ve already seen, maybe he doesn’t need that much work? [People]

I thought Sarah Palin was the nutty one, but Bristol‘s baby daddy, Levi Johnston, is now hawking nuts—yes, nuts—in a groan-inducing sexually provocative commercial for Wonderful Pistachios. Clever, Levi, but I am still holding out for Alaska’s finest to pose for nudie pics!

I have mixed feelings about Levi Johnston. On the one hand, he’s hot. But on the other, he’s one of those people who just won’t go away. So I’m laughing pretty hard at this hilarious song “Levi Johnston’s Blues” by Ben Folds and Nick Hornby. In the tune, the musician and novelist rip into the Alaskan big papa, portraying him as ignorant, childish and just plain ridic. Ben and Nick poke fun at the Palins while they’re at it. My fave line: “I get on my dirtbike and ride to my girl’s. I’m gonna lay down the law and tell her what’s goin on. I’m a #&@$% redneck I like to hang out with the boys, play some hockey, do some fishin’ and kill some moose.”
