Kate Winslet to Pose Naked in Playboy?

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
Kate Winslet in "The Reader"

What are the odds that the latest "Best Actress" Oscar winner would pose naked for Playboy magazine? Not good, we’re sure, but that didn’t stop the magazine’s founder, Hugh Hefner, from suggesting the British beauty grace the magazine’s pages. The 82-year-old magazine mogul tells London’s Metro, "It’s a competitive market, more than it was used to be, and certainly Kate Winslet would be most welcome in our pages."

Of course, Winslet’s never been shy about baring her private parts. She has also posed nude in several movies, including "Titanic" and her prized-role "The Reader."

However, this is poor timing on Hefner’s part. Now, that Winslet is finally getting the recognition she so deserves, she said she’s shying away from being nude on screen. "I don’t think I will get naked in a movie again. I can’t keep getting away with it and I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off.’" Sorry, Hef!

I can’t see Kate even remotely considering this offer…if it were ever indeed made to her.

From her quote, it sounds like Kate doesn’t desire any more ‘exposure’ - good for her!

There is a big difference btwn her willingness to play a part in the nude when she feels it fits the character, and just posing for a magazine. I hope she doesn’t do it, I don’t think she will.

Why is this item here?  Is someone attempting to make up a story from nothing?  Wow can do better.  I am sure Hefner can print his press releases on his private ruminations elsewhere.

This headline belongs in the NY Post … Liz Smith’s  FORMER employer.

The last Hefner appearance I saw on TV made me cringe.  He behaved like a dirty old man ogling the buxom twenty-somethings hanging off him. The savoir-faire was gone.
