When Melissa Rycroft was dumped by Jason Mesnick on national TV, she was forced to bare her soul in front of millions.

Now, though, Hugh Hefner is giving the scorned Bachelor suitor the chance to bare her body for millions!

Or half a million, at least.

According to Star Magazine, Playboy has offered the Dancing with the Stars contestant $500,000 to pose naked in an upcoming issue.

"Hef really wants Melissa to do a pictorial because she's the ultimate girl next door," a source said. "He thinks she has it all: beauty, brains and spunk. And it doesn't hurt that she has a terrific figure."

Melissa Rycroft nude in Playboy? That only involves two fewer layers than she's seen wearing in these photos.

Rycroft's DWTS contract prevents her from posing nude while associated with the show.

But it doesn't prevent her from talking about it with a certain, often-naked fellow competitor. Might Holly Madison convince Melissa to take it all off? Or, better yet:

Should she?!?
