Levi Johnston Running for Mayor of Wasilla, Scores Coveted Reality Show

It was only three weeks ago when everyone was talking about how Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston were shopping for a reality show to go along with their brand new reconciliation, engagement and Us Weekly cover. Since, the couple has split up--again--and anyone's sick, twisted hope of seeing Bristol and Levi attempt to parent their son Tripp on reality television has been washed away. Levi may have lost a fiance, but to all of our horror, his dreams of starring in his very own reality show are alive and well.

Levi Johnston has partnered with very well-known reality show producers Stone and Co., who confirmed that they are shooting a pilot with Levi and pitching the concept of the show to networks.

Concept? What is this concept they speak of? Well, that is where the hilarity of Levi Johnston shooting a reality show turns into something really not funny, but just very sad. After partnering with Stone and Co., producers Scott Stone and David Weintraub pitched Levi about adding a hook to the show to lure in an audience. Obviously they knew very well that Levi Johnston on his own is boring; the man lacks personality and when he is allowed to speak on his own and be himself, he spouts out things like "I like women who don't have opinions." So, the basis for Johnston's reality show is to have him run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office will focus on three key aspects--Levi attempting to become the next mayor of Wasilla, being a father to Tripp and attempting to pursue a career in Hollywood. I am not even joking.

As far as I'm concerned, Levi Johnston and Stone and Co. are making a complete mockery of politics, even if it is Wasilla, Alaska we're talking about here. The guy wants a career in Hollywood; he most likely wants to do movies or make more appearances on celebrity gossip shows that air before Big Brother. All of the choices he has made in his adult life thus far have been publicity stunts and that is exactly what he is proving by running for mayor just to get a reality show.

Levi spoke to Variety about the reality show "concept", saying:

"The more I think about it and look into it, I think there's a possibility we can make it happen. It's something that I want to do ... I lead a crazy life. But it will basically be both worlds, my life in Hollywood and back home, the real country boy that I am."

He doesn't even mention a real political agenda! This guy really thinks that politics is synonymous with Hollywood. I think someone needs to break the news to Levi Johnston that politics is not a ticket to being a celebrity and not everything works the way it did for Sarah Palin's version of politics. Levi Johnston is not even a real celebrity; he just happened to get a woman pregnant whose mother just so happened to be picked as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The reason why Sarah Palin is considered a celebrity now is because she cannot keep her mouth shut and every time she gives a speech or decides that she just needs to speak out about something, she makes a complete fool of herself. I would go as far as to say that Meghan McCain knows more about real political issues than Sarah Palin and can at least articulate her thoughts and view point in a way that doesn't make us all keel over from laughing too hard.

But who knows, maybe Levi Johnston can become the next Sarah Palin, if he even wants to consider that a victory of some sort.

An unnamed reality show producer spoke about the concept of Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office saying, "With a real celebrity, you can put them on TV doing boring stuff and it's interesting. But when it's not really a celebrity, they have to be doing something interesting. Maybe running for mayor is funny enough, and he could probably win because he has the name recognition. And then he'll be mayor of Wasilla. The world keeps getting weirder and weirder."

Weirder and weirder indeed.
