Rihanna could be about to receive a huge payment to pose naked for Playboy.
The pop babe is considering an offer of more than £1million to strip for the legendary men’s mag. The publication’s founder, Hugh Hefner, feels the Bajan beauty would be a best-seller due to her global appeal.
A secret offer has been offered to the 24-year-old, who has flashed the flesh in several raunchy shoots in the past, most recently in a poster campaign for her new fragrance Rebelle.
Magazine sources say she is interested but concerned about the impact on her younger fans. Hugh, 86, has persuaded many stars to strip for his mag, including singers Debbie Gibson, 41, Dannii Minogue, 41, and Page 3 legend Sam Fox, 46.
A US source said: “Rihanna and Hef are in top secret discussions at the moment. He sees Rihanna as the best music star to have on the cover. She is at the top of her game – beautiful, sexy and with huge international appeal. Playboy is not a sleazy porn magazine either, and allows the stars to get nude in a classy and sophisticated way. That aspect appeals to Rihanna’s creative side. Her main concern is that she doesn’t alienate her army of young fans who could think this is a little too risque.”
The source added: “Rihanna has got naked many times before and is very self-assured about her body. In the past she has been snapped topless and not been paid for it. Here she would be earning more than a million for exactly the same thing.” Sources at Playboy believe Rihanna will agree to the offer, and Hugh is sure she will be a huge seller for his product.
He coughed up more than a million dollars to get actress Lindsay Lohan, 25, to pose, and the shoot proved an international smash hit.
