Should we now call him the award-winning Levi Johnston?
The Alaskan teen formerly known as Sarah Palin's future son-in-law was in New York City last night to pick up porn website Fleshbot's Crossover Star award.
In other words, he got props for having the cojones to strip down for Playgirl…
"He was a little overwhelmed, but he handled it like a champ," Fleshbot editor Lux Alptraum tells us. "The crowd was thrilled to have him there. Everyone was supportive and excited."
So much so that someone yelled out, "We love you, Levi," when he was presented with his shiny phallic trophy by New York drag entertainer Justin Bond and Hedwig and the Angry Inch director and star John Cameron Mitchell.
In introducing Mr. Johnston, Bond said the young fellow was being celebrated "for taking control of his image and letting us all enjoy it."
Johnston was a man of not many words—just 36 words, to be exact. "I'm honored to be here," he said in part, before ending with, "Make sure y'all go get the new Playgirl magazine next week."
If only Oprah had a copy to show Sarah.
