In case you forgot why print media was killed by the internet, the Levi Johnston issue of Playgirl will not hit stands later this month. That's means that the time betweenthe actual shoot and the arrival of the hot-off-the-presses issue is roughly 5 times as long as it took for the final pictures to show up on the internet. Daniel Nardicio sent along the picture of the cover, and promised new, never before seen photos of Young Levi (in color, we hope?). Frankly, I'm more interested in the naked shots of New York's hottest bartenders.

When I asked him why they Photoshopped out Levi's pubes like a Ken Doll (see cover), he quickly shot back. "No, HE shaved them." I've never heard a gayer-for-pay thing in my life.

Nardicio also told me that they've got their next star lined up -- they'll be announcing it next week -- and hinted that among the offers that have gone out are Pauly D from Jersey Shore and Kirk McCambley -- the ginger that brought down the Irish government.

And in case you haven't seen them ... Levi Johnston Nude (@Playgirl.com)
