That would be a great story… if photoshopping didn’t run rampant on the magazine’s pages! I could pose for Playboy and come out looking like a 10. Those people are 21st century magicians.

Tara Reid says she posed for Playboy to prove her body isn’t damaged by plastic surgery. The ‘American Pie’ actress – who was left with a scarred stomach after a liposuction procedure went wrong – can be see topless in the next edition of the famous men’s magazine and she decided to accept the shoot to show off her healed and sexy body. She said in an interview with WPIX:

“It wasn’t a good surgery, it happens sometimes. I got it fixed and now I’m OK, and I want people to know that I’m OK. I’ve been OK now for the last five or six years but people only show old pictures which is so unfair and that’s part of the reason why I did the Playboy shoot – to show the world this is me and this is what I look like.”

Tara, 34, had been offered to strip for the publication several times in the past but always turned down the opportunity.

However, she decided now was the right time to finally accept because she is in a good place “spiritually, physically and mentally”.

“I’ve been offered Playboy in the past but I didn’t really think it was the right time. I was younger and I’m in my 30s now and I feel I’m at the best age in my life – mentally, physically and spiritually – and I’m proud of it.

“So many unbelievable stars have done it throughout the years and I figured, ‘Why not?’ ”

I’m sure it will do wonders for her career.
