Levi Johnston’s Playgirl Shoot Reveals His “Eww, Gross!” Body Hair

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 24, 2009 //

Poor Levi Johnston. He’s fending off complaints from those (us included) who are disappointed he didn’t show the full monty in his Playgirl pictorial, and now he has to contend with insults about the amount of body hair he has. Nathan Minor, a Chippendales dancer (so he obviously knows what’s manly and sexy), told Us Weekly:

“The only problem — his hairy armpits! We take only mostly shaved guys. He should also focus on his diet to help him get a bit harder. He doesn’t have to go the fitness-y hard look, but he could tighten up a little bit. His body is a little soft.”

Levi Johnston (Sort Of) Exposed!

Amelia McDonell-ParryNovember 23, 2009 //

So, it happened. Levi Johnston’s not-entirely-nudie photos were dropped on Playgirl.com this weekend and for a handful of change you can see ‘em. I looked and they were OK. At one point, I actually got really excited because some talented blogger had actually Photoshopped Levi’s head on another body, a naked one, where a hand was clutching a very visible peen, and I thought it was real. But it wasn’t. Nope, no peen in this photo shoot, though there is a lot of full moonage, so if ass is your thing, you’ll probs be pleased. Keep reading »

5 Famous Dudes Who Appeared In Playgirl, And 5 Famous Playgirl Party Poopers

adminNovember 11, 2009 //

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] Keep reading »

Will Levi Johnston Resurrect The Playgirl Brand?

Susannah BreslinNovember 6, 2009 //

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] Keep reading »

Levi Johnston Experiencing Penis-Size Crisis

Susannah BreslinNovember 5, 2009 //

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] Keep reading »

Levi Doesn’t Know Whether He’ll Show His Johnston

Wendy AtterberryOctober 26, 2009 //

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]

Sarah Palin Reads Playgirl!

Susannah BreslinOctober 19, 2009 //

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] Keep reading »

Levi Johnston Getting Nakey For Playgirl

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 8, 2009 //

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] Keep reading »

Let’s Get Physical With Playgirl’s “Hunkercise!”

SimchaMarch 26, 2009 //

Now that Playgirl is resting in peace, all we have is this awesome aerobics vid, “Hunkercize.” The buff babes of Playgirl want to pump (clap!) you up! The vintage aerobics vid is packed with short shorts, shady ‘staches, and insidious winks that remind us that Playgirl was never for women and that gay dudes are perfect workout pals.

Playgirl’s Gone, But We’d Never Really Lusted Over Its Pages Anyway

Catherine StrawnAugust 6, 2008 //

In case you haven’t heard, Playgirl magazine folded. It was announced earlier this week that the brand would live online but with more photos and videos and less actual editorial content. Basically, the visual aspect of the magazine, the pornier stuff, rather than any articles. Personally, I never went to the store and bought the magazine, and I wonder how many women are upset about its closing, or even care.

Magazines in general are having trouble these days, because they have to compete with both other magazines and the online world for advertisers. Even magazines we thought were really great have closed in the last couple years (RIP Jane), so it’s not surprising that another magazine would go, especially one that has had a hard time figuring out where it fits into the marketplace over the last couple years, as former Playgirl editor (and Frisky contributor!) Colleen Kane writes was the case. Keep reading »
