"I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins, my sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace -- how I feel and what I've learned," Johnston said in a statement released by his publisher, Touchstone Publishing.
"Levi is going to talk about everybody, including Sarah Palin, and the rest of the family -- Bristol too,” Johnston's manager, Tank Johnson, told RadarOnline. "The book will have good stuff. He isn’t leaving anything out."
Our favorite Lil Abner is serious about running for office.He really doing it. I guess if you posed nude, you can run for office. It worked for Scott Brown.Johnston filed his letter of intent Friday with the Alaska Public Offices Commission, a first step needed to begin campaigning.
The letter doesn't specify an office, though Johnston's manager, Tank Jones, has said Johnston's interested in a run for mayor or City Council. He did not immediately return a message Monday.
Earlier this month, Jones confirmed that Johnston planned to run for office as part of a reality TV show.
"The docu-soap will follow the ever controversial, headline making, matinee idol, handsome father of one as he embarks on a run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska... [the] series will chronicle a 'no-holds-barred' period in Levi’s tumultuous life; co-raising his son Tripp, looking for love, and taking care of business for his fellow Wasillians.
He will give us a real inside look into who he is as a father, a skilled hunter, an avid dirt biker, and of course his journey down the road of small town politics -- right after he gets his high school diploma."
"Levi thinks he can take the office by representing the real citizens of Wasilla," continues the statement. "If elected, Levi promises to serve his full term. Tank Jones will serve as Levi’s campaign manager."
Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston say they're engaged and hope to get married within six weeks in Alaska.Palin, the daughter of 2008 vice-presidential candidate and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is featured on the cover of Us Weekly with Johnston, holding their 18-month-old son, Tripp.
Palin and Johnston tell the magazine they reconnected while working out a custody plan and became engaged two weeks ago.
Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, said in a statement on NBC's "Today" show Tuesday that they want what's best for their children and that Bristol believes in "redemption and forgiveness." Representatives for Palin did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Johnston recently acknowledged telling lies about the Palin family after he and Bristol broke up last year. He says he's apologized.
Wow, it's almost like some bad CW series in real time. So I guess we won't see anymore Levi in Playgirl or JetSet Studios flicks anytime soon.
Hmm, I wonder if this is a part of a plan for Moose Mess' future campaign?
But Levi is the only one making money to support the baby, will that count? Well, it's Playgirl money, but it's money!The custody battle between Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin became public last week when two Superior Court judges issued orders unsealing the court record and denying the use of pseudonyms to protect the feuding parents' identities.
A Dec. 23 order from Judge Kari C. Kristiansen denied Palin's motion to close the proceedings and opened the case file to public access, while an order issued the same day by Presiding Judge Sharon Gleason denied Palin's request to use John and Jane Doe in place of Johnston's and her own real names.
Johnston wasn't playing along, however. In an opposition to Palin's motion for a gag order, Johnston's attorney, Rex Butler, said: "Simply put, this matter is public in nature, the courts are not refuges for the scions of the elite to obtain private dispensation of their legal matters because the public at large has an interest in the proceedings."
There's another factor in the mix, of course: Palin's mother, former governor Sarah Palin, with whom Johnston has repeatedly locked horns in the press, and from whom he claims to fear retaliation.
"I do not feel protected against Sarah Palin in a closed proceeding," Johnston said in an affidavit accompanying Butler's filings. "I hope that if it is open she will stay out of it. ... I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin's instinct to attack and allow the real parties in this litigation, Bristol and I, to work things out a lot more peacefully than we could if there is any more meddling from Sarah Palin."
Johnston's affidavit did not disclose exactly what "meddling," if any, the former governor has engaged in during the custody case's brief lifetime; however, he theorized that the closed proceedings might be intended to conceal some "fairly aggressive" tactics.
There is no wang. We repeat, there is no wang! Playgirl's seen the results of last week's photo shoot, and while there may be glimpses of Levi Johnston's baby maker, there is no full-frontal shot. Let the blame game begin!Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio has released a statement blaming Levi's manager Tank Jones. "He did not give 'full-frontal' as his manager Tank Jones reported he would. We're thrilled with the photos we got, and are confident people will love them. Although there may be glimpses, we did not get full on frontal nudity."
Oh well, maybe next year.
