GOP presidential hopeful Sarah Palin and her family are the subjects of a profile by George Gurley in the September issue of Playboy, according to sources. Insiders say the story will run next to a four-page nude pictorial of Mercede Johnston, the sister of Bristol Palin's estranged baby daddy, Levi. The Palins did not participate in the Gurley piece. Instead, the writer went to Alaska to interview locals and friends for a write-around. But Playboy sources say that Mercede is outspoken in the article about Palin and Bristol, whom she routinely lashes out against in her blog. One of Johnston's latest blog posts rips Bristol's book, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far," saying it should have been entitled, "Not Afraid of Lies." Sources say Johnston was paid less than $25,000 to strip down for the magazine. A rep for the Palins didn't get back to us.
I am aware that many of you sent me a link to this story, or others just like it, in the comments section throughout the day. I apologize for rejecting them, but they showed up on posts that I did not want to have hijacked, and plus I really had nothing to say about it until I had contacted Sadie and told her the story was out.
So for all of you who waited all day to weigh in on this topic, THIS would be the post for you to do that. However let me warn you that if you are a troll who just wants to say ugly things, I will kick your ass to the curb so fast it will make your head spin.
Longtime visitors will know that I have already written about Mercede and her Playboy shoot five months ago.
Here is her statement from that post:
First she would like you to know that she has been assured that this shoot will be very classy. She is not intending to go "completely" nude and she has turned down numerous other offers to pose nude in the past (True, she has told me about those before.)
She said that she is definitely hoping to use this money to work on her education, and to remind people that she has been working since she was 13 years old, and is NOT lazy as many have stated.
She has a friend helping her mom while she is in LA because Sherry cannot be left on her own right now, which also has much to do with Sadie's decision.
Oh, and she also wants to remind everybody that she is nineteen years old now, not eighteen.
The only thing that I can add is that Sadie told me about the shoot after the deal was already made. If this had been another magazine she MIGHT have asked me for some advice on trying to negotiate a better deal, but I am sure her instincts told her I would not have been completely on board with the idea, and to be honest she is probably not wrong about that.
When Sadie finally called me to tell me about the pictorial she was VERY nervous, and worried about what I might think. I honestly told her that it would not have been MY first choice for her, but that I understood her desire to make some money to help her mom, and that it certainly could lead to bigger things.
Anyhow I have to say I am pretty pleased that her pictorial will be in the same issue as a Palin profile by this George Gurley fellow. I know that Sadie gave an interview that will not make the Palins very happy, so assuming that the Gurley piece will tell the truth about Sarah, THIS issue should be a must have for anybody who is not a fan Klondike Kardashian and her family of traveling grifters.
And yes I am sure that the opportunity to see the stunning Mercede Johnston featured au naturel won't exactly hurt sales either.
Speaking of Sadie, she just recently updated her last post to answer some of your questions. If you are interested to see what she has to say, just click here.
