So the first half of Levi Johnston's Playgirl photo shoot took place yesterday, US magazine reports:

"'The shoot was fantastic!' Johnston's manager, Tank Jones, tells Us of Johnston's New York session, adding that the nude model wasn't nervous in the slightest. 'We're having a lot of fun with it,' Jones teases.

And, ahem, how much did Bristol Palin's hockey-playing ex reveal? 'People are going to see more of Levi than they thought,' Jones tells Us. 'There was a hockey stick involved.'
