Levi Johnston, who was named among the most toxic bachelors of 2009 by CNN’s Showbiz tonight, is proving more than worthy of the label. The 19 year-old is being sued by his ex girlfriend, Bristol Palin, for full custody of their one year-old son, Tripp. Bristol is also seeking child support. Citing concern for Tripp’s privacy, Bristol’s lawyer sought to keep the court proceedings private. Levi’s lawyer of course worked to open them to the public out of concern from “attacks” from grandma Sarah Palin. Levi’s request was granted and we’ll get to hear some of the details as custody is worked out. Levi, who needs to keep up the public’s interest after his sad, disappointing non-nude turn in Playgirl, will surely go on any talkshow or morning news program that will have him in order to talk smack about Sarah and her family. He’s got a formula and he’s sticking to it.

Bristol Palin is demanding full custody of her son and even wants child support from beefcake baby daddy Levi Johnston.

The daughter of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin accuses her former high school sweetheart of exercising only “sporadic visitation rights” for 1-year-old Tripp, court papers revealed Monday.

Bristol Palin, 18, asked an Alaska judge last month to keep her petition for custody and support secret.

The judge denied that request in a ruling dated Christmas Eve.

Johnston, 19, a hunky one-time high school hockey star, denies in court documents that he has avoided his responsibilities as a father.

He is seeking shared custody of the boy and argued against keeping the proceedings closed.

“I do not feel protected against Sarah Palin in a closed proceeding,” Johnston said in an affidavit. “I hope that if it is open she will stay out of it.”

Bristol Palin is also asking the judge to bar Johnston’s mother from having unsupervised visits with the infant. Sherry Johnston is on home arrest on drug charges.

She also suggests Levi Johnston may have used marijuana, citing a Twitter posting. He denies the reports of drug use and says the Twitter account is a fake one.

Bristol is the eldest daughter of Sarah Palin, who resigned as Alaska governor in July.

Maybe if Levi wouldn’t talk so much crap about Sarah Palin she would tone down the “attacks.” Don’t get me wrong, I ‘m not team Palin or anything I just think that Levi is as bad as Sarah when it comes to using the press to lash out at perceived enemies. She could be an insufferable would-be mother-in-law, but antagonizing her is just going to get her hackles up.

About six weeks ago Levi predicted that this would happen. He told Entertainment Tonight “By the end of the year we’re gonna go to court for joint custody. I’m just done with it. When there’s a kid involved you ain’t walking away.” There you go, Levi. Use your brief time in the waning spotlight to earn some money for child support.
