Top 15 Career Salvaging
Playboy Shoots
Although being a Playboy Bunny is an elite achievement and has
catapulted many actresses into stardom (Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCarthy),
sometimes the title is abused by ladies that have lost their way. Fifteen
minutes of fame is far too quick for these girls and as long as they still have
the goods and a fat cheque signed by Mr. Hefner they are determined to get
naked. Some of them needed money, some needed a career boost, and some just
wanted a record of what their body looked like before it was un-air-brushable.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. See you soon Britney.

10. Shannen Doherty - March,
1994 & December 2003
Every time Shannen got kicked off an Aaron Spelling-produced TV
show she popped up in Playboy. While the first time felt rebellious, leaving her
loser friends back in the 90210, the second time had much more of a "look at me,
I'm still pretty" feel to it. I've always liked Shannen though, ever since she
was in 'Our House', and can't help but be drawn to a woman that has actually had
the chance to punch Paris Hilton in the face.
9. Denise Richards -
December, 2004
Winning the award for scariest cover on this list, I give you
D-Rich. After shooting out his kid, Denise was talked into doing Playboy by her
proud hubby, Charlie Sheen, to show the world how fast her skin retracts. In the
mother of all backfires, Sheen barley had time to put the issue down before
receiving the divorce papers. Neither have had a movie worth writing about
since. Although, somebody should get the rights to their legal transcripts.
8. Teri Polo - February,
2005
"She's one hot Focker". Ha ha, who comes up with this shit? Kill
them. Tired of taking a backseat to Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Robert De Niro,
Dustin Hoffman, Barbra Streisand, Blythe Danner, the cat that pees in a toilet,
and basically anyone else that appeared in those MEET THE PARENTS movies, Teri
decided it was time to shock the world in a surprisingly hot-as-hell spread. If
anything it kept her career alive on TV and made sure she doesn't get written
out of the next Focking sequel. I can play too bitches.
7. Stacey Dash - August,
2006
It took me an hour to realize she wasn't the cover girl for her
issue as I was searching all over the internet for it. After seeing the pictures
all I could think was "How is this chick not on the cover?" One of the most
explosively surprising photo shoots I've ever seen, it made me go back and watch
CLUELESS in a whole different light. It seems to have paid off too. IMDB has her
listed for seven projects in the next couple years. Did I mention she's 41?
6. Jaime Pressly - March,
1998 & February, 2004
The first appearance worked like a charm, introducing us to one
of the hottest rising stars on the planet. The second was just a treat. Jaime
used Playboy perfectly and led Hollywood to believe there was nobody else when
it came to portraying poor white trash on the big screen (as shown in her film
POOR WHITE TRASH). Thankfully, she hasn't changed a bit and while the movies are
pretty quiet at the moment, 'My Name is Earl' still delivers her every week.
See you in a bit with 5-1
