There are a lot of attractive, young celebrities out there, and with so many celebrities that have posed in Playboy, it makes me curious about who I’d see posing in the next 5-10 years.
Here are some I think I might see-
Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera (if their singing careers tank)
The Olsen Twins
Melissa Joan Hart
Anna Kornikova
Christina Ricchi
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera for the career boost
Meg Ryan because she is trying to change her image
Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu to try and drum up business for the next Charlies Angels movie
Catherine Zeta Jones to stress her independance after divorcing Michael Douglas
Some dimwitted pop tart - I’ve already forgotten her name - in the UK has just promised (in the tabloid press) that she will never pose nude, not ever, cross her heart and hope to die.
My guess is Reid - no, Hannigan - yes. Reid is trying to downplay her past reputation as a “party girl”. Hannigan, on the other hand, is trying to leave behind her teenage nerd image.
Maybe Jewel. She’s been trying for a new sexier image and her recent album seems to have tanked.
The first thing I thought of when I read the OP title was the Olsen Twins. I’m glad so many others agree.
Look, while they may have scads of money, they are very poor actors and they long ago lost their Strawberry Shortcake cuteness.
They are grown up women now (even if they are not yet legal adults), and they will never be able to make the transition to serious movie stars. They are too “tainted” by their childhood film careers. That’s just the prejudice Hollywood (and the general public) has.
Yet they are very accustomed to being in the spotlight. So, no matter how much money they have, I’ll bet they pose nude … just as a way to get back in the public eye.
They will also do so to try to show the world that they are real adults now – and not the kids you remember in those lame flicks – and deserving of more grown up roles/attention.
It rarely works … but they all try it.
Hmmm … I wonder if Las Vegas is laying any odds on this? Seems that there are a lot of folks interested in the issue …
Sarah Michelle Gellar. Once her “movie career” tanks and she is banished to made-for-TV movies hell, she’ll pose in Playboy in a sad attempt to restart her career.
I hear you. Even though she still looks pretty good, she has that washed up stripper look to her.
Let’s see…we’ve also had Madonna and Belinda Carlisle (that was an odd one). And I think someone else, though they’re escaping me.
There also seems to be a run lately on siblings and daughters of major celebrities (Didi Pfeiffer, Clint Eastwood’s kid both come to mind). I’d expect that trend to continue in the future.
I can’t see the Olson twins doing it–they have a LOT of money, most of which is made on their wholesome image. I mean, they’re swimming in the stuff. Crazy rich. If they want a career move, they’ll probably stay in merchandising, publishing or producing. Or nothing. They have more than enough money to retire comfortably for the rest of their lives on.
