Playgirl.com launched the first set of photos with Sarah Palin’s daughter’s baby’s daddy Levi Johnston today and while he looks hot in the sample pic on the front page, I ain’t paying no $29.99 to discover the rest of the waist-up shots. You, however, can feel free to take this link and do whatever you’d like with it.A spokesperson for Playgirl says that the rest of the shots should be up within the week, but don’t hold your breath because as he’s already announced, we won’t be seeing Johnston’s Johnson or anything like it.

Ed and I had so much fun making a video for you last week that we decided to do it again this week. And every week until you stop calling me a man and Ed a lesbian in the comments section. In other words: WE’RE HERE TO STAY. Kinda. Unless Sasha fires me. Hey, Sasha. Please don’t do that. I have a chihuahua to feed. Love you, gurl. This week we’re talking about Oprah, Mariah and Levi Johnston’s dick (or lack there of).

BTW, if you want more of me or Ed you can find our Twitters here and here.

Now back to the news…

Last night was the GQ Men Of The Year party and soooo many celebs were there.  Everyone from Kate Bosworth who arrived with her new beau Alexander Skarsgard, to Lindsay Lohan who appeared to have a bungee cord wrapped around her head.

Zach Galifianakis was there (you know he’s my fave) as well as Kim Kardashian, Kobe Bryant and Beet’s girl crush, Olivia Wilde.  Tons of celebs — they’re all in the gallery — shared one thing in common.  They all ignored poor Levi Johnston.  Maybe they didn’t talk to him because they think he’s a sleaze for selling out the Palin family, though I suspect the more likely reason for the snub was that they didn’t recognize him with the full face of makeup.

So, for those of you who didn’t know me before EvilBeet, I’m kinda known to some people as a blogger and some people as a Twitterer and some people as a vlogger. I used to make videos every day but that’s slowed down as I’ve gained a little bit of self control.

Anyway, my best friend Ed and I are always getting together and watching Real Housewives and talking about superficial bullshit we think is funny, so last night we talked about Real Housewives of OC, Levi Johnston (Ed bought a Playgirl subscription just so he could check out the goods) and this horrible man in a Gucci fanny pack that was mean to our friend.

You may think we’re a couple of ridiculous, self-important squares who don’t need to be on camera without make up and talking about this stuff, and you’d be right. But whatever. We do what we want.

And before you start thinking of telling me that my nose looks like a whale’s dick, I’ve already been told that, so go back to the insult well and pull up something slightly more clever.

You’d think that if your daughter’s baby daddy was showing his junk for money in Playgirl and shit-talking you on national television while disclosing family secrets, you probably wouldn’t want to sit around a table with him talking about how moist this year’s turkey is, but that Sarah Palin just won’t be put in a mold!

In an interview with Oprah that’s due to air on November 16th, Palin said she’d be more than happy to have Levi Johnston at her Thanksgiving table. “It’s lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing… 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.”

It’s pretty clear that Palin’s not under the impression that this would ever happen, but at least publicly she’s pretending that there’s a chance they have a salvageable relationship. “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.” Yeah, like a potential custody battle, rumors of divorce and making sure your book winds up on the best seller list, Sarah.

In Conan’s never-ending attempts to be funny, he did a bit last night that got huge laughs from the audience.  With musical backup, William Shatner did a poetry reading that was purportedly based on Levi Johnston’s Tweets.  Pearls of wisdom such as “Where can I get some weed?” and “What’s with all the taxi drivers that don’t speak English?  Is that a law?” read in Shatner’s dramatic fashion made for an entertaining skit.  Unfortunately, Conan and NBC didn’t do their homework — the Tweets are from a fake, non-verified Levi Johnston Twitter account.  And he’s pissed.

Johnston’s lawyer, Rex Butler is demanding a retraction from NBC, especially in regards to Conan’s disclaimer that the Tweets were “all real … we did not make this up.”  In all honestly, Levi should be angry.  After all, he wouldn’t want people to think that he’s stupid, now would he?

Throughout the Levi Johnston Famewhore Tour ‘09, Sarah Palin has stayed pretty tight lipped about the whole thing. Surprising because Levi has publicly slandered her in all the right places. He went so far as to take his mother and sister to Tyra where they had a “Johnston Family Speaks Out”-type special in which numerous private details about both Palin and her daughter, Bristol. After Levi’s appearance on CBS’ The Early Show this morning, Palin couldn’t keep quiet anymore.

Levi flat-out said in his interview that Palin would refer to her son Trigg, who has Down Syndrome, as “retarded” and then followed that by saying that he has a lot more info that would damage whatever rep she has left. “You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt her, I could very easily. But there’s – I’m not gonna do it.”

Obviously a line was crossed over at the Palin camp because a statement was issued this afternoon by Palin who sounds like she’s not messing around, either. “We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious and untrue attacks on our family,” Palin says in a statement. “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.”

With Levi scheduled to shoot Playgirl and plenty of more publicity opportunities on the line, I bet there’s going to be a lot more chances for him to go after the Palin’s. I would suggest that he not do it, but deep down I know that I just want to hear the juicy gossip.

My best friend Ed and I were recently talking about Levi Johnston posing for Playgirl and Ed threw down the gauntlet like this “Show a dick or get lost.” Well, I’m guessing that Levi heard our prayers from the inside of Ed’s car at the In and Out Burger drive through because Levi’s agent is reporting that there’s about a 90% chance that Levi’s spread in December’s Playgirl will include full-frontal nudity. Damn! Gotta wonder how the Palin’s feel about that. (My money’s on “not happy”.)

Levi hired a trainer to help him get in to extra good shape for the shoot, which should be going down in just a couple of weeks. The trainer suggested that he eat moose meat because it’s full of the right proteins. Of course Levi, an avid hunter, already has plenty of that on his hands.

I also hope that after this spread Levi bows out of the limelight for a minute, because there’s only two ways this can go: He can back off, try and be normal while saving that money he makes from the Playgirl spread and maybe get a real job OR he can be on Celebrity Rehab in two years. Those are his choices: be normal or Celebrity Rehab.

I know, I know, everyone’s going to be making that joke today. It’s okay. It’s funny. And I’m just delighted to hear that Levi Johnston is going to pose for Playgirl. I totally thought Playgirl had folded. What a fantastic way to make porn for “women” relevant again. To prepare, Levi is training three hours a day, six nights a week at an Anchorage gym with a local body builder. (That local body builder is not Sarah Palin.) He hasn’t reached a formal agreement with Playgirl, but his attorney says that it’s “a foregone conclusion.” Which may mean he’s bullshitting this whole thing for publicity, or to strong-arm Playgirl into paying him more money. Which, again, is totally okay with me.

I have to admit, I love Levi Johnston. I mean, the poor guy was just trying to fuck the hottest girl at his high school without a rubber — a common teenage pursuit — and then her mother had to go and run for Vice President of the fucking United States and drag him into a national spotlight, force him to propose to the aforementioned hot girl (whom he was just trying to fuck without a rubber, not freakin’ marry), and then the whole family treats him like shit and nobody will even let him see his baby. He got dealt a fairly crappy hand here, and I love that he’s dealing with it by making every possible exploitative penny and attempting to muddy the Palin name in the process. It’s how I like to think I’d behave in similar circumstances.

I have to admit something else. The AP’s headline for this story is “Father of Palin’s grandson to pose for Playgirl.” I read that like ten times wondering to myself who the hell was posing for Playgirl. “Father of Palin’s grandson” is just way too much dot-connecting for me. I didn’t understand it was Levi until I read the article. I’m still laughing to myself about that one.

Levi Johnston is sure making a crap load of money these days by making a complete ass of himself. The former Alaskin Governor’s daughter’s baby daddy is featured in this commercial for pistachio nuts which doesn’t really tell us anything about the nuts, but does mention that Levi Johnston now “uses protection”. Get it, guys? As opposed to before when he wasn’t and he got that chick pregnant and now he’s kinda famous and we’re going to have to hear about him for at least another year?

I want us all to think about something: The fact that everything I wrote above is true is much, much sadder than the fact that Sarah Palin was once a vice presidential nominee, and that was pretty sad too.

After his last bout of press from attending the Teen Choice Awards with the hilarious Kathy Griffin, Levi Johnston clearly felt his star was fading because instead of just slipping in to obscurity like he’s supposed to, he’s now dishing to Vanity Fair about all kinds of scandalous crap going down in the Palin household.

Johnston touches on some hot topics and while not much of this is a surprise, it’s interesting to hear Palin inside information from someone who’s actually been inside of a Palin. Oh God, that was gross. Sorry.

Here are some choice quotes pulled from People.com:

• On Sarah and Todd’s parenting skills: “Even before she was nominated, there wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook – the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.”
• On the possibility of a divorce: “There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house … times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious.”
• On Sarah giving up on her role as Alaska’s governor: “A week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money.’ She would blatantly say, ‘I want to just take this money and quit being governor.’ “
• On Sarah wanting to adopt Bristol’s baby: “That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging – she wouldn’t give up. She would say, ‘So, are you gonna let me adopt him?’ I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.”

While giving away private family details and conversations only further proves that Levi isn’t Mensa material, it is interesting to think about how much the Palin family must have alienated him in order for him to speak out so publicly. There is already an on-going battle for Levi to spend time with his child, and sharing these details, in his mind, must have been worth further risking his ability to see his son.

In Levi Johnston’s continuing attempt to extend his long-expired fifteen minutes of fame, he spoke at a press conference last Thursday in which he claimed that Sarah Palin resigned for financial reasons. 

Johnston recounted tales of the Palin family lamenting their inability to accept book and reality television deals due to Sarah’s political obligations.  He believes that is the motivating force behind Palin’s hasty departure from government.

Levi — and this dude’s only accomplishment has been to sperminate a politician’s teenage daughter, but he is working on some book and acting deals – has withdrawn his support for Sarah Palin, claiming he wouldn’t vote for her in a presidential race after she abandoned Alaska.

If that weren’t enough, he appeared on the Today Show where he basically said all the same stuff.  You can watch that here.
