Jay Leno provided the big ‘surprise’ reveal last night with the larger-than-life December Playboy cover featuring Chelsea Handler. The photo shows her standing in faux snow wearing only some tall white boots with her tiny white bikini. A candy cane, hooked to the back of the comedian’s swimsuit bottom, suggests a wardrobe malfunction is but moments away.
The Chelsea Lately star told the talk show host that she quit drinking for “like a day and a half” to get into shape for the bikini shots. Leno wanted her to strike a bikini pose for the viewers. She joked, “We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back.”
It turns out that Handler isn’t the only one to appear on the December cover. Playboy will be offering a dual cover option, also featuring Joanna Krupa on the cover. She will appear in an 8-page nude pictorial in both cover issues – check it out here.
Both covers will be available on stands November 13.
