If you had told me a few years ago that in 2010 we were going to have not one but two reality shows about Alaska on the air, one hosted by a former candidate for Vice President and the other hosted by her Playgirl-posing almost-son-in-law, I probably would have told you that you're drinking way too much Yoo-Hoo. But it's happening!

True, Sarah Palin's show for TLC is more of a documentary, but 'Levi Johnston's Final Frontier' is being described by one of the producers as "'Jersey Shore' on ice," which conjures up a lot of really bad images, one of them being Disney characters with rock hard abs skating around drunk and punching each other.

Johnston doesn't have a network for his reality show yet (it could land on MTV), but I'm going to go ahead and assume it's not going to be on PBS or The History Channel.

We're not quite sure what point Sherri Shepherd is trying to make in this clip, but it sure is fun to watch.

Barbara Walters criticizes Levi Johnston for failing to pay child support to Bristol Palin and argues that he should simply "get a job" on 'The View' (weekdays, syndicated). This sets off Shepherd, who comes to Johnston's defense and says that his recent pictorial in Playgirl counts as legitimate work.

'Six Feet Under' alum Freddy Rodriguez will lead the CBS pilot 'Chaos.' Rodriguez will reportedly play a naive agent who wants to make the world a better place in this drama from director Brett Ratner. Meanwhile, Oscar nominee David Strathairn ('Good Night, and Good Luck') is also headed to the small screen in the ABC pilot 'Matadors.' He'll join the recently cast Zach Gilford ('Friday Night Lights') in the series, about dueling legal families in Chicago. [Hollywood Reporter]

More casting news after the jump.

On 'The Joy Behar Show,' Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin's baby-daddy and former boyfriend, spoke about his decision not to go fully nude in his recent 'Playgirl' spread, and the fact he's now become somewhat of an icon among gays.

"I just got to thinking, you know, I'm only 19-years-old, and I just didn't really want to get into the whole porno, porn, sex scene type deal," Johnston said on his decision not to bare all.

Here's a shocker: something from Sarah Palin's memoir that hasn't been disputed.

Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers confirmed a claim made by the former Republican VP candidate that she asked the writers to remove a rather ribald joke from Amy Poehler's rap performance that referenced the phrase "drill, baby, drill" during her appearance on the show last year.

The full joke went, "When we're in Wascilla (sic), it's chill, baby, chilla/In the bedroom with Todd, it's drill, baby, drilla." That's weird, Take out the "with Todd" and you've got an exact quote from Levi Johnston's MySpace page (that joke so would have killed in 2008).

This is what they probably meant by keep your friends close -- and your enemies closer.

According to the Live Feed, Oprah's sit down with Sarah Palin on Monday earned an impressive 8.7 rating, making it 'The Oprah Winfrey Show''s highest-rated show in two years. That tops a 2007 interview, in which Oprah interviewed the entire Osmond family.

Palin -- who appeared on the show to promote her new memoir 'Going Rogue: An American Life' -- even ousted the much-touted, two-part season premiere interview with Whitney Houston.

When we first saw the Levi Johnston pistachio commercial, it annoyed the heck out of us. Maybe it's because here's this kid getting his 15 minutes of fame, and he's done ... what? Nothing, except impregnate a teenage girl (yes, we know it takes two to tango and she was his dance partner).

But on further examination, the commercial is, well, even more annoying. Let's break it down ...

Sarah Palin's first interview on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' takes place on Monday, Nov. 16, and let's just hope the chair is comfortable ... because the room might not be.

Sarah Palin, former vice presidential candidate and everybody's favorite "average hockey mom," will have a lot to discuss. It was recently reported her daughter's ex-boyfriend and father of her grandson, Levi Johnston, finished his highly publicized 'Playgirl' shoot with a hockey stick. (Seriously, a real one -- no euphemisms here.) Just think, even your worst Thanksgiving has nothing on what the Palins' home will be like this year.

Oprah didn't even let the hot seat cool down for too long before she posted this You Tube video detailing what to expect when she sits down with the former vice-presidential candidate on Monday. Watch it after the jump.

Well, the big interview happens this Monday: Oprah interviews former Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin. The interview actually took place several days ago so some clips are starting to be released. Here's a first look, where Oprah asks Palin about Levi Johnston.

Update: we love to see comments on our site, but if they go off topic or get into political arguments, they will be deleted. If you want to comment specifically about Palin's appearance on Oprah, that's fine. Other comments will be deleted. Thanks.

Yesterday we posted video of William Shatner reading the tweets of Levi Johnston on The Tonight Show. Turns out Shatner read tweets from a fake Twitter account, and Johnston demanded an apology. He got one last night from Conan (well, sort of), but then we were treated to more Shatner. (Bonus: Conan mentions TMZ!)

William Shatner has appeared on The Tonight Show to give his typically awesome take on the Twitter messages that Sarah Palin posted to her account when she was Governor of Alaska. Last night he appeared again to recite the Twitter "poetry" of her arch-rival Levi Johnston.

Update: Johnston and his lawyer demand a retraction from Conan, saying that Twitter account is actually fake and Johnston never said those things. Maybe Conan will apologize on tonight's show.

On 'The Early Show,' Levi Johnston, former boyfriend of Bristol Palin and father to her child, continued to offer interesting tidbits on the Palin family.

According to Johnston, Sarah Palin repeatedly joked about her son Trig's Down syndrome, using a disparaging term to refer to his condition. And that's not all, said Johnston. He's apparently witnessed other damaging things while Palin was Governor of Alaska that could "get her in trouble."
