Not too long ago, I wrote about how Levi Johnston had said that he would consider posing nude.

Well, his manager has confirmed it. They are in talks with two male nude magazines, and the best part? His manager is assuring us that it was be “tasteful”.

Question: how is a male nude spread considered tasteful?

As former Alaska governor and GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin contemplates her post-gubernatorial political future, Levi Johnston, the father of her first grandson, by daughter Bristol, is mulling over offers to pose nude for two magazines with largely (if not almost exclusively) gay readerships.

In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Tank Jones, Levi’s manager-bodyguard, confirmed to Advocate.com that negotiations were underway with both Unzipped Media and Playgirl.com to have Bristol Palin’s baby daddy take it all off for an exclusive photo shoot.

“Naw, that’s serious. Mr. Butler is doing that,” Jones said, referring to Levi’s lawyer, Rex Butler, when asked if such a photo shoot might actually happen.

Rick Andreoli, executive editor of Unzipped Media — whose owners also own The Advocate — also confirmed that Unzipped magazine had made an overture to Levi about appearing au naturel in an upcoming issue.

“When Levi was on Bravo saying that he was willing to pose nude if the offer was right, we made an offer to Tank Jones and we’re waiting to hear back on that,” Andreoli said.

… “If we do anything like this, it’s going to be done tastefully and professionally. We’re not going to do any smut … We’re not committed to anything,” Jones said before adding that negotiations have not yet reached such a level as to warrant discussion about restrictions or limitations on a potential photo shoot.

If Johnston, who made his shirtless debut in GQ just a few months back, does end up stripping down for a photo shoot, it will only be the latest salvo in his war of words with Sarah Palin, who once called his family “trailer trash.”

This comes out around the same time as Levi does more trashing of Sarah Palin — fueling more divorce rumors, calling her a bad mother, and saying that she thought her job as governor was too hard for her. How convenient that what he said is exactly what the left wants to hear. And now, he’s stooping to a trashy new low in actually doing negotiations for a nude spread for a gay audience.

I keep saying it, but whenever I hear news about this toolbag, I think the same thing: Bristol must be humiliated. While he’s out living his Hollywood dream — something that wouldn’t have been possible if not for the Palins — Bristol’s at home taking care of their child, and frankly, being quite classy about it. Rather than having back-and-forth tabloid wars with Levi over his lies, she’s kept quiet. That’s called DIGNITY, Levi. It’s a word he apparently can’t understand. When Sarah Palin called this family trailer trash, clearly she was right.

Final thought: why do people want to see this guy naked, anyways? The best he’s ever looked was with Bristol on the campaign trail, and he’s never looked as good since. I mean, really, there’s a reason that it’s only the gays who are interested in him now.
