Just one week after her nude pics were "leaked" on the Internet, Audrina Patridge is preparing to "take center stage" with the risque Pussycat Dolls.

This gig with PCD was booked well in advance, of course, but The Hills star - who mysteriously did not appear on the season premiere Monday (hmm) is finding that her notoriety has risen meteorically since the naked photo scandal hit.

According to sources, reps for Audrina Patridge have been working overtime to pimp her out hardcore to cash in on her newfound bad girl fame...

Just a few months ago, Audrina Patridge couldn't get into Hyde without Lauren Conrad - now she's getting paid to host a night at PURE and drink for free? Nice!

But seriously now. Whether or not it was an accident that we all got to see Audrina nude last week, it becomes abundantly clear each time that this kind of "exposure" generates some serious buzz. Just call it the Kim Kardashian playbook!
