Yes yes, Jon and Kate are fighting about the twins’ birthday and Letterman’s former lover has been banned from the set of the Late show. More chapters in never-ending sagas.

But one of America’s favorite sagas died with Sarah Palin’s vice presidential dreams: Levi Johnston. Well, he’s back and prepping for a photoshoot with Playgirl, Usmagazine.com reported.

“Team Levi is in the process of preparing for his Playgirl appearance,” Rex Butler, Johnston’s lawyer, said. “He is in the gym six days a week for the next three weeks.”

No word yet on when the photos will run or the nature of the shoot. Naked snowmobiling, perhaps?
