Art imitating life?
Levi Johnston is set to make his music video debut in singer Brittani Senser's "After Love," in which he plays a young lover whose girlfriend's mother disapproves of him.
"He's looking forward to doing it," Johnston's attorney Rex Butler told the Associated Press. According to a written description of the video (which Johnston and Senser will shoot next month in Los Angeles), the happy couple "share tender moments before they are driven apart by the young woman's mother," the AP says. The female heroine "tells her mother that she was wrong about her mother."
PHOTOS: Bristol and Levi's romance
Johnston, 20 and Bristol Palin, 19, recently revealed to Us Weekly that they became engaged again while working over custody arrangements for their young son Tripp. One major hitch: Bristol's mother, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, "doesn't really approve" of the engagement.
"She's apprehensive and concerned about this. She doesn't want to see me get hurt again," Bristol told Us.

The video's creator and director Evan Winter admitted that he "kind of riffed off the real-life situation" when conceiving of the clip.
But what about Johnston's future mother-in-law's opinion on this new project? "I don't think we're going to be concerned about what Gov. Palin would want," Butler told the AP. "I think that given the script, he (Johnston) should be able to turn in a good performance."
Butler added that Johnston is still interested in pursuing an acting career -- but must confer with Bristol, too. "Of course, he's got to merge his perspective with that of his prospective wife. In other words, this is not a decision he's going to be making alone," Butler said.
Tell Us What You Think
25i love sarah palin but not this dude!
i love sarah palin but not this dude!
He just wants "fame"...just like Spencer Pratt. JMHO he is a famewh*re, too.
Sarah Palin suuks balls!
Hello I think Sarah is feeling like any mom would at this point. She is afraid that Levi might hurt her daughter again. he did go on tv and bash her daughter and her family. that would frighten any mom. I think it will be ok in the end.. but levi will have to gain back trust with The WHOLE FAMILY.. not just sarah.
Does anyone else find it odd that Us Weakly isn't reporting one of the biggest entertainment scoops: that professional quitter Sarah Palin will be joining up with Kate Gosselin and her overworked uterus on a reality show? You didn't report this while Sarah is estranged from your current cover models and BFF Bristol. Funny how the timing worked out on that, eh?
They are young and he made mistakes. At least he wants to be in his son's life and wants to make it right with the family. That's a lot more than I can say for a lot of guys his age.
is he so stupid as to think that this will endear him to the Palin family!!! More or less mocking things in a music video is not how you go about mending fences with the family that you lied about for so long. Only tells me that he has no intention of changing and is definitely not mature enough to marry. If i were the Palins I still wold not trust him at all. and I HATE the script that US mag is using for the comments section. Because it makes it a lot more difficult to read- I don't bother anymore-sad because a lot of the comments were interesting
This proves once again that we could be the 49 States of America and thrive!
How dumb that he has no New ideas but to use the Palin family once again to attempt to gain fame. No wonder the family is skeptical about him! He's a fame grabbing toad.
That will be the interesting entertainment....
an't stand the guy, but he is Hot looking!!
is this guy really newsworthy? no.
Levi go back to being a fisherman and living in Alaska.
That Will Be One Weird Weird Music Video.
He's awfully damned cute...that's enough to make him a star. Sounds like he's getting all his ducks in a row... he's back with his baby mama, he has his child, now he's gonna make a few attempts, while he can, to make more than an electrician can ever dream of making. Is it wrong to dream big? NO!
Is this really pertinent information? Bristol and Levi are doing what many before them has done, make their own decisions. Yes, many will be bad. This will make them learn. I think people have forgotten how young they are. With this young decision making comes some bad choices. We all have made them and they should be given the same chance. You learn from experience, and they will too.
This is gonna be some funny s.hit.
Ricky Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would be willing to believe Levi if he moved back to Alaska and got a REAL job. All these questionable modeling and "acting" gigs make me very suspicious of his commitment to the family.
