Lisa Rinna: Naked Pictures Rule!

Lisa Rinna is known for making a fool out of herself on red carpets around Hollywood. The former Days of Our Lives star co-hosts major events with Joey Fatone (for reasons beyond our comprehension) on behalf of TV Guide.

Therefore, perhaps it makes sense that Rinna told People Magazine this week that she's "more comfortable being nude than hosting an event," as the actress hyped the naked pictorial she'll be featured in for the May issue of Playboy.

Why is Rinna - who put the fear of God into readers with her appearance at this year's Academy Awards - baring it all at age 45, years after she posed nude for the magazine while pregnant?

"I want to encourage other women to be proud of their bodies no matter what age or size," she said. "After doing Dancing with the Stars, I definitely have a better body now than I did 11 years ago."

Think so, Lisa? Let's see if our readers agree...
