Cheryl Cole offered £500,000 to strip for Playboy magazine

London: Playboy Magazine has apparently offered Cheryl Cole 500,000 pounds to bare all for a centerfold shoot.

Bosses at 84-year-old media mogul Hugh Hefner’s publication think Cheryl, 27, has the perfect looks to be a hit in the States. They reckon her quirky accent and toned bod make her perfect to follow other famous centrefolds such as US reality star Kim Kardashian, 29. Bosses are said to have promised the Geordie babe half a million pounds to pose wearing nothing but her famous northern smile. They are on a mission to find gorgeous Brits after Kelly Brook, 30, proved hugely popular. But down-to-earth ‘Girls Aloud’ star Cheryl looks set to turn down the offer of appearing in the buff, insisting it is not for her. “Cheryl is incredibly flattered by the offer but she’s always been fundamentally opposed to going nude in magazines,” a news daily quoted a pal as saying. “She reckons it’s great if other girls can do it, but it really isn’t her.” “People won’t believe it but she is actually incredibly shy when it comes to all that stuff,” the pal added. The insider added: “Cheryl has a fortune of 10 million pounds. It’s not like she needs the money.” ANI
