 Jimmy Kimmel Endorses Levi Johnston For Mayor

“Levi Johnston is to Sarah Palin what voicemail is to Mel Gibson.” – Jimmy Kimmel

Having recently announced his bid for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, his hometown of 11,000 people, 20-year-old Levi Johnston is making the media rounds.

On Thursday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, the newly-minted political candidate was showered with praise – not to mention a collection of great campaign gear.

Kimmel showcased a blue baseball cap with “The Thrilla from Wasilla” on the front, a red, white and blue pin with “Wassup Wasilla?” emblazoned on it.

A bumper sticker read “Elect me Mayor or I’ll Date all Your Daughters” and a yard sign proclaimed: Levi for Mayor – I’ll Do the Job Naked.” Hilarious.

Kimmel did offer some cautionary words to the boy who would be mayor.

“Listen, when you’re mayor, there are gonna be debates,” Jimmy said. “There are gonna potentially be shootings when Sarah finds out … it’s gonna be really bad!”

But Kimmel said he’d love a spot on the campaign team of Johnston, saying “The one thing I want to congratulate you on is … the torment that you’ve caused.”

It is quite an accomplishment. “So whaddya think? Can I be part of the team?” Kimmel asked. “I think I might make you campaign manager,” Johnston replied.

As for potential votes from the family of two-time ex-fiancee Bristol Palin, he’s not counting on them. In fact, he says he’d be shown the door in two seconds.

After his latest breakup with Bristol, he says, “I think they kinda kicked me out now … permanently.” Hey, at least some Alaskans aren’t fans of hers, either.

Bret Michaels has laid out the reasons why he should be the next judge on American Idol.

But there’s one person he doesn’t need to convince, and she’s someone who knows a lot about the gig: Paula Abdul.

“If he were to take that position I think he would be awesome at it because you’ve got to have a passion and love for music,” Abdul told Us Weekly. “It takes somebody who really, really understands young people to try to make the magic happen in those 30 seconds. [Bret] would fit the mold perfectly.”

That said, Paula says no one will ever be able to truly replace Simon Cowell.

“Honestly, the word replacement to me does not apply because, as we all know, they broke the mold after Simon. I don’t think he could ever be replaced,” she said. “There should be no comparison.”

It’s true, but it’s still an important question: Should Bret Michaels be the next American Idol judge?
