Following up on his posing for Playgirl, Levi Johnston reportedly is expanding his "acting" horizons. Word has it, Sarah Palin's daughter's baby daddy will have a three-episode arc on "Desperate Housewives."
No word on a plot line, but Johnston supposedly will be a boy toy for one of the long-running series' main characters.
According to Hollywood gossip pro Janet Charlton, it all was the brainstorm of show creator Marc Cherry, a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay GOP group. Cherry apparently first met Johnston -- along with the rest of the Palin clan -- at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
It's no secret Johnston has wanted to become an actor. He has been working with a drama coach in L.A. for the past few months.
• When asked about the possible "Housewives" gig, a close associate of the former Alaska governor quipped, "Well, maybe now he'll be able to get caught up with his child support payments."
Johnston's ex-girlfriend, Bristol Palin, filed a lawsuit Jan. 21 in Anchorage, seeking $1,750 a month from the father of their baby son, Tripp. In her filing, Palin claimed she was providing 100 percent of her son's care and that Johnston had paid her only $4,400 for the past year.
Johnston's attorney countered with a claim that his client had wanted to give Palin money for Tripp, but on the condition she let him see the baby, which hadn't happened.
