On Saturday, while I was in a bar watching a football game of all places, a friend casually mentioned to me that his boyfriend (Yes, I watch football with a gay male friend…so New York, no?) had a friend who is in some way involved with the Levi Johnston Playgirl shoot, and that this friend said that the magazine had upped its initial financial offer to Johnston (I’m told they offered $150k for dick pics) in order to persuade him to go full-frontal nude for the spread, and that Johnston had accepted the offer. I sent out a couple of emails seeking confirmation on this, but the New York Post today seems to have confirmed it for me: the father of Sarah Palin’s grandchild will soon be showing off his own Alaskan pipeline in the pages of Playgirl.

Speculation as to just what assets Levi would be sharing with the world has run rampant since the deal was announced. I suppose the only thing left to speculate now is whether or not Levi’s Alaskan bush runs wild or if it’s artfully cleared.

A rep for the magazine told us. “We’re working out the actual details day-by-day, and have come to a very happy conclusion, which we feel readers will be enthralled by.”

Wouldn’t you just love to be a fly on the wall inside the Palin home on the day this issue hits the stands? You just know that Sarah’s going to want to get a good look at the cock that’s been boning her daughter, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Todd wanted to sneak a peek as well.
