I didn't even know Playgirl still existed.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Levi Johnston is going for the ultimate exposure — the 19-year-old father of Sarah Palin's grandchild will pose nude for Playgirl, his attorney said Wednesday.

To get ready for his close-up, Johnston is training three hours a day, six nights a week at an Anchorage gym with a local body builder.

A formal agreement hasn't been reached with the online magazine, but the photo shoot is a "foregone conclusion," said Johnston's attorney, Rex Butler.

Johnston fathered a son with Bristol, the 18-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential candidate who resigned as Alaska's governor in July.

Publication of the photographs could be a source of embarrassment for Palin, often mentioned as a possible 2012 presidential candidate. Her memoir, "Going Rogue," will be published next month and pre-sales already have made it a national best seller.

Just after Sen. John McCain chose Palin as his running mate in August 2008, Johnston was thrust into the national spotlight when Palin abruptly announced her unwed daughter was pregnant and the couple would marry.

The couple broke up after the birth of their son, Tripp, in December. The relationship between the Palins and Johnston since then has often been strained, mostly over visitation issues.

Palin's representatives did not respond to a request for comment on the Playgirl job.

Johnston also has been marketing himself for a possible modeling or acting career, spending time in New York and Los Angeles. His first TV commercial, hawking Wonderful brand pistachios, debuted this week.

No date has been set for the Playgirl photo shoot, but Butler expects the world will get a gander of the finished product by the end of the year. Playgirl approached Johnston about posing in the buff, Butler said.

Playgirl spokesman Vincent Stevens couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

"We told him he would have to do what actors and actresses do," Butler said. "They get in the gym."

Johnston has been working out with Marvin Jones, a former Mr. Alaska competitor who has put the teenager on a low-carb, high-protein diet.

Poor guy, he's desperately trying to get as much cash as possible, before the publicity runs out.

You mean he's not a logical choice for a pistachio commercial? Crazy.

Rex Butler is almost as big of a joke as Levi is :lol

The sooner he moves back to the valley and starts to get hooked on some drug, the better

Reminds me of that standup joke about how Clinton is so famous, he made Lewinsky famous by letting her suck his dick.

Which comedian did that one, it's racking my brain now...

It was, huh? I was searching and couldn't find that bit on youtube. I then thought it might have been Chris Rock, and couldn't find anything again. Guess my Google-fu isn't very strong tonight.

Would be funny if someone else were to stumble upon my search history and see a bunch of "Clinton suck dick make you famous".

good for him i guess.

We'll know that once he poses for Playgirl.

how does it work? The guy gets wood or semi wood for the photo or what? you'd at least want a semi I assume.
