Toni Braxton is beyond broke so she is trying to convince herself and the rest of us that Playboy is tasteful and she is doing it for reason’s other than the money.

- New Year, New opportunities. So I have been considering taking up Playboy’s offer to feature me on their cover this year. What you think?
- I would love to pose with Hugh Hefner though. He’s the sexiest guy I know over 30
- Of course it will be tastefully done
- There are NOT talking that kind of spread! No Susie!!!! Just a lil T and A. They have asked me about 3 times before.

More power to ya sista. But I don’t think the Playboy money is going to cover the $50 million you owe to various and sundry people.

While I do believe that Playboy made an real offer to Jersey Shore’s JWoww…I have a hard time believing she would walk away from nearly half a million dollars. So maybe she’s exaggerating just a tiny bit.

Anyway…she says she turned it down because she’s got some better things going on. It’s been confirmed that she has moved in with Snooki and it’s pretty much known that they’ve got their own spinoff. But why not use the Playboy opportunity to promote herself and the new show?

“I am not going to do Playboy in the near future,” she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday. “There is a better opportunity out there, which everybody will probably see soon.”

I don’t watch Glee so Lea Michele is just now on my radar. And that’s because she lost alot of weight lately. From what I’ve read about her lately..she is incredibly talented but also incredibly driven to succeed (read: Bitchy) and is willing to do whatever it takes to further her career. Including getting butt-naked.

“A slimmed down Lea Michele could go from glee club to the Grotto! The Glee star recently lost weight on a vegan diet. And according to a friend, she’s been offered more than $500,000 to show off her new body in Playboy, although her rep denies the story.

“Lea looks gorgeous, and obviously, Playboy noticed,” the friend says. “She loves her new look, and she might do it if she thought it would boost her career.”

Lea has had plenty of experience with nudity – she did a topless scene live for more than a year in Spring Awakening on Broadway – “It’s not uncomfortable for me at all,” she said.

It’s official. The White House-gate-crashing-Real Housewife of D.C., Michaele Salahi is getting naked for Playboy. Her reps  say the shoot will happen sometime late in September and she will going ‘full-frontal, birthday suit naked.”

Playboy has not decided if she is important enough to get the cover of the issue she will appear in but her people say she would ‘love it’.

Despite the fact that Michaele’s husband is supposed to be financially successful, he needs this money for pimping his wife out. The Salahi’s are currently being sued for unpaid fees by a PR firm.

Although several of the hotter Housewives have done bikini photo shoots for cash..Michaele is the first one to get naked for money. That’s the way they roll in D.C. I guess.

It’s always so refreshing when a celebrity gives you the honest truth about how they keep their amazing figures. Jenny McCarthy has always been honest about everything in her life, sometimes giving us TMI..but this time I think she’s dropping some knowledge that we should remember.

“I was 211 pounds when I delivered my son, so I know what it is like to be obese and fat and miserable,” McCarthy told Tarts at Oxygen TV and Ubisoft’s launch of “Your Shape” at West Hollywood’s Hyde Lounge on Wednesday night. “I’m 5’6 so it was a tough thing to carry around; losing it is something I’m very proud of.

“It took me a good year to fit back into my jeans, but it’s all diet and exercise. There is really no magic pill; they are the two things you absolutely have to do to maintain good shape. In my 20’s I didn’t really have to worry as much but now I’m past 35 I notice that I have to workout. It’s a mandatory thing,” she explained. “I eat a lot of soups and salads; I puree a lot of vegetables because there is still protein in vegetables. I love spinach salads with nuts so it’s mainly vegetables and when I PMS I notice I need extra protein so I eat fish. Exercise is bikram yoga and treadmill running like ‘Hamster’.”

Jenny also says she would absolutely  do Playboy again if Heff called her up, but for some reason she thinks it will never happen. Hopefully the powers that be at Playboy read this and give Jenny a call.  Don’t judge me. I know I wouldn’t be the only chick on the Playboy website checking out Jenny’s pics.
