Heads up! Mercede Johnston has a nude pictorial in the new Playboy!

Who? Sadie, as she's known, is a celeb because she's the sister of Levi Johnston, who's a celeb because he had a baby with Bristol Palin, who is famous because her mom, Sarah Palin ran for the vice presidency.

"Bristol is very manipulative," Sadie says of Levi's ex-gf. "She'd use sex to get her way on many things."

Surely not. Bristol advocates sexual abstinence before marriage.

Sadie also says that despite her denials, the Dancing With the Stars star has had numerous plastic surgery procedures including liposuction and a number of chin lifts. No immediate comment from the Palin camp.
