Playboy

Raquel Pomplun is your Playboy Playmate of the Year for 2013.

She earned it, too. Not just because she's hot, but with effort!

"Honestly, I'm thinking I'm so grateful they look OK because I had a fever in these pictures," the 25-year-old said of the photo shoot that landed her the cover.

Pomplun, a biochemistry major and classically trained ballerina, revealed that she battled a 103-degree fever for the chance to model for Playboy.

"I rocked it," the first-ever Mexican-American POY proudly said.

Diamonds may be a girl's best friend.

But considering the latest issue of Playboy, they may soon become a guy's arch enemy.

British model Tamara Ecclestone covers the magazine... but these expensive gems cover her naughtiest bits, meaning you'll need to actually purchase the publication in order to get the goods. Sorry, fellas.

"As a woman, I believe you have to embrace your body, and feel beautiful both inside and out! Playboy is so iconic, and for nearly 60 years, the magazine has featured some of the world's most beautiful women in its pages. I am extremely honored to be part of this legacy as the magazine's May cover girl!"

Sorry, fellas. You won't be seeing Pia Rizza nude in Playboy any time soon.

As previously reported, the Mob Wives star attempted to be proactive when she learned naked pictures of herself were set to hit the market.

She released the birthday suit shots herself and even contacted the world's most well-known men's magazine to see if they were interested in a spread of her... well, spreading.

But sources close to Rizza say Playboy rejected the photos she submitted, making it clear it is not interested in her bare body at this time.

Is that the right call? Would you want to see Pia Rizza in Playboy?

Paz de la Huerta is naked in this month's Playboy.

In related news, the sky is blue and Brooke Mueller just left rehab again.

We kid (sort of), viewers of HBO's Boardwalk Empire are well aware that the actress has no problem at all with nudity. She says as much in an interview with the iconic magazine.

"I celebrate nudity every day," de la Huerta says. "It’s our first wardrobe... We did the photos with no makeup, and we both wanted them to have a very natural feeling."

Padma Lakshmi poses for Playboy this December. Yes, really.

Some readers might wish she were a little more ... what's the word ... nude. But still, it's Padma Lakshmi posing for Playboy. Cause for celebration.

The Top Chef host shares that she's "a truck driver trapped in this body" and that she might just be "one of the last women with real boobs."

Sarah Stage is not what you'd call un-hot by any means.

What she is is unpaid, and she's looking to rectify that.

The model who worked for Playboy is suing the magazine for $225,000 because she says they didn't pay her on time back in 2009, when she modeled for them.

Courtney Stodden has no problem getting naked on camera, but the new 18-year old has made it clear: she's not interested in porn, despite the adult film offers rolling in.

But the plastic, wanna be huge celebrity Tweeted yesterday that she would say "yes to Playboy" if that magazine ever came calling.

Let's just say she needn't keep a line open.

"[Playboy] would NEVER take her. I don’t think anybody really wants to see that," a publication source tells TMZ, adding that Stodden "doesn't meet the standards of a Playboy model" because she looks too "enhanced."

Strange.

Krista Stodden, the mother/manager of Courtney, swears her daughter is all-natural. And if you can't believe the parent of a teenager who is down with her kid marrying a 52-year old and encouraging of her getting famous in any way possible... then who can you believe?

Do you think Courtney Stodden has undergone plastic surgery?

Katrina Darling, Kate Middleton's cousin, covers the September 2012 issue of Playboy. The 22-year-old is a burlesque dancer ... and a beautiful one at that!

She and Kate are not close; in fact, their connection was only revealed last year.

Darling first learned of her royal relation shortly before Kate’s April '11 wedding to Prince William via a phone call from a member of the UK press.

“It was the most ridiculous thing I ever heard,” the club and cabaret dancer says, with a laugh. “It’s not every day something like that happens.”

Last year, lines began forming outside the underground venues where Katrina had been performing her own burlesque show, God Save the Queen.

Yes ... however random and distant her Kate Middleton ties might be, the name of her routine suddenly took on a wonderful (and sexy!) irony.

“Burlesque is a platform for me to explore these kinds of things. The more into it the audience is,” says Katrina Darling, “the more into it I am.”

Katrina has upcoming U.S. shows, entitled “A Royal Dream,” at the Dream Hotel in South Beach August 31 and Dream New York September 6.

Later this year, Sherlyn Chopra will become the first Indian woman to pose naked in Playboy. Cause for celebratory erections, right?

Not for everyone.

With the 28-year old brunette reportedly suggesting the idea herself to the magazine, Chopra is coming under major fire in her native country for the upcoming reveal.

One Twitter user has described the occasional Bollywood actress as "repulsive," while an Indian columnist named Gayatri Sankar writes of her:

"At a time when innocent women across the nation from Gujarat to Guwahati have been subjected to sexual abuse and humiliation, one wonders if Sherlyn Chopra’s pictures wound a woman’s integrity."
