Chelsea Handler, stand-up comedian, humorist, television host, actress, and best-selling author, is surprisingly on the cover of December's issue of
Playboy magazine
.
I expected to see Dancing With The Stars contestant
Joanna Krupa on the cover of December's issue, since she also heavily promoted her pictorial from December's issue that was shot by Rankin.
Jay Leno revealed Chelsea's Playboy cover on his talk show a few days ago. On the cover she's wearing a bikini and she didn't want to say if she posed naked for the magazine. I hope we won't be served another bikini pictorial as we were with
Heidi Montag's Playboy pictorial.
We'll have to wait another month to see December's issue with Chelsea Handler and Joanna Krupa. In the meantime November's issue will fill the void with
Tara Reid's nude pictorial.
Also related to Playboy was
Dannii Minogue's recent revelation about her decision to pose for Australian Playboy in 1995.
In short, Dannii revealed in an emotional interview with Piers Morgan she was forced to pose nude for Playboy to pay off her debts. After her split with ex-hubby Julian McMahon in 1995 she was around 150,000 pounds in debt. Rather than asking her superstar sis Kylie for help, she decided to pose naked for Playboy.
Dannii wouldn't reveal how much she was paid for the pictures, saying only: "It had to be a lot to look at my parents' faces and see the anguish in my dad's eyes."
Of course, you have to take these stories with a grain of salt no matter how emotional Dannii looked during the interview. I just can't explain the fact that she posed topless again a year after for her 1997 calendar. Maybe she had to pay off income tax from the Playboy shoot.
