We don't even know what to say about this rumor, so we'll simply report the facts:

Sources say Levi Johnston, the almost-son-in-law and grandchild-daddy of Sarah Palin, has landed a multiple-episode role on Desperate Housewives!

This casting note was first relayed by Janet Charlton, a celebrity gossip blogger. She says series creator March Cherry, a member of the Log Cabin Republicans, met Johnston at the 2008 Republican National Convention and has been intrigued by the possibility of a guest-starring role for him ever since.

Levi is currently in the news for two reasons:

1. Posing for Playgirl.
2. Getting sued by Bristol Palin for $1,750 per month in child support.

When asked about the rumored Desperate Housewives gig - which would depict Johnston as a boy toy for an older woman - a friend of the former Alaska governor replied:

"Well, maybe now he'll be able to get caught up with his child support payments."

Be honest: who wouldn't watch Levi Johnston on Desperate Housewives?
