I don't think being Playboy is such a bad thing, as long as its tastful. If Charisma says "Yay boobies!", I'll support her decision.

I'm only annoyed by what certain people will say about it. You know who they are.

Well, my answer's not gonna be too surprising; I hope she does it.

And I believe that, to an extent, it will help her career. When she gets a part in a movie, more people will recognize her and(most likely) go see it. Sure, most of the new fans she'll get will be men who've ogled her in a magazine, but if it brings in more money and she's fine with it, what's the problem?

I'd be shocked if she did.

I thought she had said when she started Ats that she wouldn't pose nude so stop asking.

Also, didn't she say that she was not going to do anymore cheesecake shots when she got pregnant cuz now she didn't want her kids to see her that way in the pic's?

Well, me too. But I just received my CC.com e-mail update from Shalazar, and he mentions it as well - he calls it "word on the street", and says more information as the story develops. And you know, I just can't see both Chrissy and Shalazar putting it "out there" if it wasn't a very real possibility.

I think Charisma is the most beautiful woman, but I don't want her doing Playboy. I don't know why, I just don't like the idea of dirty old men jerking-off to her image. Wow, I sound like a father.

You act like they don't already. Whether she's nude or not, people will still do it, because they're attracted to her.

why do people equate appearing nude in a magezine with desperation and wanting to revive ones career, but appearing nude in a movie is looked upon with favor (or at least with no stigmata).

look at the oscars (i think), all 5 actresses who are up for best actress have appeared nude in their movies (maybe not the movies they are nominated for, but within the last year or two), nobody is saying THEY are acting out of despiration or trying to revive their careers.

as i stated in an earlier post, jillian barberi from good day live has been approached also, and she always said no before, but now she is thinking about it, and her career is certainly not flagging, she is on good day live, has a dating show, is on the NFL show, and does semi regular appearances on good morning miami among other things.

as i understand it playboy is very accomidating about letting the person being photographed control the shoot, she probably has pick of make-up, costume, and photographer, and final approval of the photos.

so i say, if CC wants to do it, for whatever reason, then she should go for it. i won't think less of her if she does.

Hey, if Charisma decides on doing Playboy, I might actually join their "Cyber Club" so that I could get the unpublished pictures.

I honestly don't know why people look down at posing nude. I know that actresses look down upon it because the pictures can be blown up to gigantic proportions which would reveal damn near any flaw they have, while appearing nude in a movie is usually too quick to have the same affect.

In all honesty, both are such bad quality or air brushed I'm surprised flaws are the issue.

There's also a closer connection with some magazines like Penthouse/Hustler to porn than "boy's mag's" like Maxim. Jessica Biel may be on the cover of Stuff but they have hardcore triple queens in the harder mag's.

I suspect it may be due to where the actress/person is at the time.

For those wacky women of Enron, it was kind of fun for them to make lemonade out of lemons. Same thing for some of the older actresses or someone like Carly Wilson showing that she's only got one chin. Same thing for those getting a divorce like Tia Carrere and want to that they are still sexual and hot.

For an actress (reality tv babes) desparate to prolong their 15 minutes of fame, (reality tv babes) it comes across as desparation. Or someone who has fallen under the radar like poor Kristy Swanson who I loved as Buffy but got billed what, last year? as Buffy gets bare in Playboy.

There's also a large difference between doing it when you're already defined and known as something(Let's admit it, how many people in the world know Charisma Carpenter's name? Or the character she played on tv?) and doing something that may get your foot in the door. As I said before, even if the people who show up at her movies are just there to ogle her, it's still getting her paid and, best yet, they get to be surprised by her acting talent. The girl can't lose, IMO.

Just from the interviews with CC I've read, I doubt she'd do it. I don't think it's anything she really needs to do, quite frankly. I'd support her all the way if she did though, and Playboy would be really lucky to get a girl as beautiful as her to grace their cover. I can only think of one pro for CC to do this. It would be a pretty awesome thing to have when she's a little old lady. She could just whip that mag out and be all,"Look at what a what a total fox I was back in the day!"

I really hope she would not do this.
Actresses who do always seem so desperate (Yes, I realize a few have gone on to do very well, but once there's that "Playboy Centerfold" label, it is hard to get taken seriously, ever again.
And maybe it is mainly a perception thing; but perception is what fuels the entertainment industry.

I would think this sort of thing is the last thing she needs right now.

You know I don't have any qualms about CC appearing in Playboy providing the following happen,

1) the shots are tastefully done
2) she has final control over what pics are published
3) it's not just a T&A piece of fluff

Other than that I think that if she's considering posing then ultimately it's her decision and depends on how comfortable she is in that situation. If she's comfy, having a good time and the pics are tasteful then that will show up in the photos (providing the photographer is good, didn't Elle McPherson choose her own photo bloke?) and would be one way of quelling any backlash. As for showing some skin then why not? She's got a fantastic bod and more power to her if she's proud of it after childbirth and wants to show it off. After all it'd be one way to shut up all those people who said she was fat in S3. Oh and it'd be a real kicker for JW/ME.

Now that is a horrible generalization. Yes there are many people who do Playboy as a bid for attention. However, people also do it for different reasons.

Darva Conger or the chick from Survivor appearing in the mag. reeks of desperation. Sharon Stone and Drew Barrymore appearing in the mag. certainly didn't get them labeled as "desperate" or "Playboy Playmate".

Also, celebs who appear in the mags aren't Playmates, and even though CC only has a small celeb status she is still already "known" (ATS/MM). So she wouldn’t be a playmate anymore then Katarina Witt was after appearing I’m pretty sure she’s still known as an Olympic Figure Skater.

As Kar said people also do the pics to show their independence or b/c they are 50+ and beautiful and want others to know about it. If CC decides to put her name and face out there like that it's not b/c she's desperate for attention anymore then Demi Moore appearing 8 months pregnant and naked on the cover of a magazine.

The perception isn't (IMO) as general as people are making it; it changes from person to person and I think that if CC does this it will be noted in the Industry as a bold move opening her up to a new audience rather then as a fading actress desperate for one last minute of fame.
