Why is Hollywood so interested in this toolbag? What does he have going for them? Nothing, except what the media sees as “insight” into the Palin family. He just keeps running his mouth saying all kinds of ludicrous things. In the following interview, he says he’d be willing to pose nude (but — for the “right price”!), is a happy gay icon, calls Sarah Palin a cougar and fuels the Sarah and Todd divorce rumors, and says he might like to be governor of Alaska one day. Whew!

Levi Johnston says he may pose nude if the price is right.

“It depends on the money, man,” says Johnston, an aspiring actor and model who fathered baby Tripp with Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, 18.

“It’s gotta be right for that,” continues Johnston in an interview with Bravo’s Andy Cohen via Skype from his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska.

Cohen brings up that Johnston has become somewhat of a “gay pin-up boy.”

Says Johnston: “I think it’s great, man. Um, I just like my fans. Just another person.”

The 19-year-old made headlines by bringing Kathy Griffin as his date to the 2009 Teen Choice Awards last Sunday. He admits he likes older woman “a little bit, yeah.”

But as far as “cougars” go, Sarah Palin is “not my favorite, no,” he says.

Palin, he admits, “wears the pants” in her family.

As for rumors the Palins were splitting (which her rep has denied), Johnston says, “I heard about some of that.”

Johnston — who says he lived with the Palins while Bristol was pregnant — says the couple was often “fighting like cats and dogs.

“Oh yeah, they were…like every other family,” he says.

Now that Palin has stepped down as governor, Johnson quips he’s “thinking about” making a run for her former position.

“Maybe one day. It sounds like a lot of fun,” Johnston says before signing off to go sheep hunting.

This guy is such a douchebag that I can’t even stand it. I mean, really, I know it’s not the most intelligent commentary, but good Lord — what else can you say??

First of all, who on Earth would give this self-absorbed assclown the idea that people want him to pose naked? Unsurprisingly, the attention whore said he would do it if paid enough. Charming. On top of that, where did the idea come from that he’s an “icon” in any way, shape, or form? Levi, news flash baby: YOU DO NOT MATTER. You are not an icon. You’re someone that the press can use and manipulate to make Sarah Palin look bad, period. No one actually cares about you, and you are not going to be famous. Kathy Griffin took you to the Teen Choice Awards as a joke.

I’m also a little curious about how Sarah Palin identifies as a cougar. She’s a few months older than Todd. Cougars chase after men who are usually, oh, ten to fifteen years younger and usually are doing it as a female version of the midlife crisis. I don’t think Sarah Palin quite fits into that mold, but nice try. Oh, and because Sarah and Todd fight sometimes, even like cats and dogs, it must mean they’re headed for divorce, because, you know, couples don’t ever fight. Everything he says in this interview is quite obviously BS, but hey, it gets him attention, right?

What’s really rich is the notion that Levi Johnston could ever, ever become governor of Alaska. Kid, that will never happen. Just accept that now. Also accept that you will never be a movie star. All you are is a circus sideshow freak to them, a spectacle they can laugh at and parade around in the name of smearing Sarah Palin.

What I’m curious about is how often he has time to spend with his son, Tripp, when he’s jetsetting around to the Teen Choice Awards and being on the Tyra Banks Show and the Larry King Show and so on. Bristol hasn’t been whoring herself out to the media — she’s been, presumably, at home quietly taking care of her son, as she should be. Levi Johnston doesn’t have the kind of class to put his son first though, does he?

I really ultimately feel bad for Bristol. She must be looking at Levi now and saying, “What the hell was I thinking?”
