LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Unlikely celebrity Levi Johnston is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and the campaign and election are to be captured on a reality show.

"Entertainment Tonight" said Johnston hopes to take over the office held by Sarah Palin before she went on to become governor of Alaska and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate.

Johnston is a Wasilla native, the ex-boyfriend of Palin's 19-year-old daughter Bristol and the father of her toddler-age son. The couple recently reconciled and announced their engagement, but then quickly called it off amid reports Johnston was more in love with the media spotlight than the younger Palin.

"ET" said Johnston will run for office for a non-scripted series called "Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office."

The report did not say what network is to air the program.
