Vanity Fair has posted behind-the-scenes video from their photo shoot with Levi Johnston to accompany their October 2009 story “Me and Mrs. Palin.” In the beginning, Johnston’s handler Tank Jones teases Levi about his transformation from “Wasilla wear” to “Vanity Fair wear.” Johnston then poses in designer clothes on the ledge of a building and in the back of a limo holding Sarah Palin masks.

Leveraging his 15 minutes of fame, Levi drops some major bombshells about the woman who almost became his mother-in-law.

Levi Johnston, opens up about what his one-time future mother-in-law former Republican Vice President candidate Sarah Palin. In the storyt titled “Me and Mrs. Palin,” Levi reveals that then Alaska Gov. Palin hatched a plan to his son with Bristol Palin, Tripp (born in December 2008) a secret so that she and husband Todd could raise him.

According to Johnston, Palin rarely attended her son Track’s hockey games, and she often complained about her job as governor, saying it was “too hard.” She often fought with her husband, Todd, who slept in a separate room during the Republican National Convention. And, says Johnston, “there was a lot of talk of divorce in that house … times when Sarah and Todd would mention it and sound pretty serious.”

Sarah Palin wanted to keep Bristol pregnancy a secret and adopt the baby:
In her quest to be vice president, Palin, 45, wanted to keep daughter Bristol’s pregnancy a secret. So she and husband Todd offered to adopt the baby. “Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging — she wouldn’t give up,” Levi writes. “She would say, ‘So, are you gonna let me adopt him?’ We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.”

Mrs Palin and husband Todd never slept together
Levi says the couple, who eloped in 1988, “wouldn’t go anywhere together unless unless the cameras were out. In all the time Bristol and I were together, I’ve never seen them sleep in the same bedroom.” He adds that Todd “slept in the living room, on his little black recliner, with the TV going in the background–usually with the news or an Ultimate Fighting Championship match on–wearing clothes he wore that same day.” Although the Palins denied divorce rumors earlier this summer, Levi says, “There was a lot of talk of divorce in that house… Todd would say, ‘All right, do you want a divorce? Is that what you want? Let’s do it! Sign the papers!’ They’d either stop and be fine or Sarah would go to her room.”

She complained that being governor was “too hard”
After losing her vice presidential bid, “she walked around the house pouting,” Levi writes. “A week or two after she got back, she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money.’ It was, to her, ‘not as hard.’ She would blatantly say, ‘I want to just take this money and quit being governor.’”

Sarah and husband Todd don’t cook:
“Even before she was nominated [for VP] there wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook-the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time [my ex] Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.”

The October issue of Vanity Fair hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on September 2 and nationwide on September 8.
