Nelly Considered Getting Bunny-cised in Playboy

The pop superstar calls a half-million dollar offer "intriguing."

by Ryan Porter

It's hard to believe Nelly Furtado, the pop star who we've never seen bare more than a mid-riff, seriously mulled over an offer from Playboy. But in an interview with MTV, she says she had to really think hard before turning down the chance to join the immortal ranks of everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Anna Nicole Smith and Chyna.

"I [was] offered half a million dollars to pose fully clothed," Nelly said. "It's not to say that I would never do it. It's intriguing, it's very tempting. It's got to be under the right terms. We will see what happens." Um, Nelly? Your July photoshoot for Blender, where you're showing off a tight stomach under an unbuttoned white dress shirt, was pretty much the most modest thing that magazine has ever ran. You don't strike us as the Playboy type, but that's something you'll have to sort out with Hugh.

Nelly, a total knockout despite her current bangs that make her look like she has no eyes à la Boober on The Fraggles, does confess that she has a certain amount of ladylike sensibility when it comes to keeping her sexiness a secret. "If you wanted to be naked everyday as a pop star, you could be naked everyday," she told MTV. "There are people that would love you to be naked every day. But myself, I would like to save a little bit for the bedroom. It's something to be preserved a little bit for myself."

Nelly, who will be 28 on December 2, admits 27 has been one smokin' sexy year for her and not just because "Maneater" had junior high kids sprinting for the dictionary to learn what "nympho" means. "For me, I am a late bloomer," she says. "I have grown into my sexuality."

PS, tickets for the Victoria born pop star's Canadian tour go on sale Saturday, November 25, except for in Ottawa, where they go on sale Friday, November 24.

K, i just don't find this girl sexy...

[aabbcc]

She's fugly and can't sing. I wouldn't want to see her naked. Yuck.

[sputnik]

can't stand her.

[dakodas]

I would pay NOT to see her nude which is what they thought too.

[limey]

I used to really like her when she first came on the scene, but now it seems like she's just fallen into the old trap of "Let's start slutting myself up". I can't stand when girls do this, especially when they have the talent to begin with. Now Britney, I can understand, but not Nelly.

Hippie earth mother crap doesn't sell. Being a slut does. Money wins.

ITA. I hate this sell-out hypocritical bitch.

no kidding! I was like, this is the chick who was traipsing in the trees like a bird? Now she's a skank? Whatever sells I guess. And what's up with the five inch long bangs, ick.

No one takes her seriously as a human being anyway, she might as well pose for Playboy. Then three people might care. Maybe four.

She's 28???? She looks like she's 40!

[aabbcc]

Aaaaghhhh ... can we please stop using 40 as the age when a woman goes downhill? Trust me ... they don't call it the Fabulous Forties for nuthin'!

Thank you.

[Lily]

Oh, I didn't mean women who are 40 are downhill---I didn't mean that at all. I mean, they look like they're around 40. I think most women hit their prime in their thirties and early 40's (I'm in my thirties). But these women who are under thirty look far older than they are. Sorry for the offense.

[aabbcc]

No problem ... I'm just being touchy. Hehe.

[JamieElizabeth]

Did I misread something?
"I [was] offered half a million dollars to pose fully clothed," Nelly said.
Does that mean wearing underwear?

Still, half a million is not very much to bare almost all. Do you think?

[redcat]

I actually think it is too much (1/2 million) to pose fully clothed(whatever that means) in playboy, that would be a waste of paper from their point of view.
