Looks like the hits (of a different sort) keep on coming for Toni Braxton. Having
just announced the pickup of a reality show, 'Braxton Family Values,' comes more news from the 'Un-break My Heart' singer.
This afternoon Braxton took to her Twitter account to ask fans their thoughts on the possibility of seeing the songstress grace the cover of Playboy magazine.
"New Year, New opportunities," she tweeted.
"So I have been considering taking up Playboy's offer to feature me on their cover this year. What do you think?"
Having
recently filed for bankruptcy, perhaps Braxton is trying to use her physical assets to recoup some of her financial losses. She certainly wouldn't be the first. In October, the 43-year-old singer filed for bankruptcy for the second time in her career. According to court documents, Braxton states that she is worth between $1 million and $10 million, with debts of up to $50 million.
After what were likely concerned responses from her followers, Braxton told them that the photos would be tasteful (just a little T & A she added). She also tweeted that she'd like to pose with Hugh Hefner and proclaimed him the sexiest man over 30. Hef is likely hoping that the third time is the charm, since Toni claims she's been approached to pose for the mag twice before. Perhaps the timing is right since the spread might help the the public focus on something other than her financial woes and the lackluster sales of her most recent album, 'Pulse.' It will likely spur interest in her new reality show as well.
Although she hasn't made the decision yet, only time will tell if showing the world her goodies is shrewd or just plain lewd.

Clearly Eva Marcelle's beauty was a huge part in her success on 'America's Next Top Model', so adding her to our list was really a no brainer. It was sad to see her split from fiance Lance Gross, but we have a feeling her single status won't last.

The love of money and materialistic items makes people do some ugly stuff.
It's a shame how some would throw their reputations down the drain for money to buy more crap to lose in yet another proud bankruptcy at the tax payers expense bail-out moment.

Don't do it Toni.
Cut back a little.
Trade that Bentley in for a Prius!
It isn't worth degrading yourself.
Don't let others around you fill your head with ideas that may mislead you into thinking it's a good idea. BAD BAD BAD!!!!

There is nothing wrong with nudity but playboy obviously exploits women's nudity. It would be a better move to be nude in a better person's venue.

How does her filing bankruptcy create an expense for taxpayers? The taxpayers don't pay her attorney fees. Debts to the government can't be filed in a bankruptcy. I don't understand your post.

Don't do it Toni! You are too classy for that and please think about your sons. Even a "little T & A" is too much, no amount of money is enough. Just my opinion. We are about the same age and I have admired the way you walk through adversity, I'll still support your music "if" you do it... but little of the shine will disappear. Do what you feel is right and in order but my unsolicited advice is to pray first and watch as "other" doors "may" open instead. Be blessed Ms. Braxton

I agree. Toni you are much better than that. Playboy always eems to approach those who are struggling financially. Don't do it. You will recover & with dignity. Think of your children. Boys especially are very protective of their moms. Your fans love you & support you. Please don't do it. God Bless.

How can you consider her 'too classy' when she has robbed her creditors of $40 Million??!! How exactly does one go into debt by such a HUGE amount? That's not a mistake, that's a crime. People whom she owes money to are never going to get paid and that's just shameful.
