She is no doubt one of the most high profile and controversial stars to agree to grace the magazine’s front cover.
But Lindsay Lohan’s Playboy cover shot big reveal has been thwarted and a picture of the upcoming issue has been leaked online.
The 25-year-old actress is seen straddling a Playboy bunny shaped chair which manages to cover her modesty, but reveals the curve of her breasts.
Leaked: Someone took a snap of the front cover of the Playboy magazine featuring Lindsay Lohan in the nude
Wearing just a pair of black high heels, Lindsay has her hair in big blonde curls
falling around her shoulders, and she is seen pouting into the camera
with bright red lips, matching her seat and the curtains in the
backdrop.
Lindsay, who was reportedly paid $1million for the shoot, had planned to reveal her nude cover on the Ellen DeGeneres show on December 15.Â

The actress had to pose for the magazine photographers twice, as the original attempt did not satisfy Playboy boss Hugh Hefner.
Speaking
about the snaps which appear in the January/ February issue of the
magazine, Hefner spoke about the inspiration behind the racy shots.
He
said: ‘It’s a classic tribute, inspired by the original Tom Kelley nude
pictorial of Marilyn Monroe. [It’s] classy, very classy,’ the New York
Post reported.

‘It turned out very well. I would say that I had some reservations early on, but after a couple of false steps, everybody came on board and it’s going to be very exciting,’ Hefner added.
At the time Lindsay posed for the photos, Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mother said the shoot was ‘tastefully done’.
Speaking to The Insider’s Christina McLarty she said: ‘It was an opportunity for her and she’s done thousands and thousands of covers, so this was just something…she’s 25 now. It was just something that was her decision…we have a contractual say in how far it goes and her and Mr. Hefner will decide.’
Oh la la: The Playboy cover isn’t the first time that Lindsay has stripped off for a magazine and the actress bared all for New York magazine in 2008
Dina continued: ‘She’ll pick five
covers, he’ll pick the one, but she has a say. I don’t want to get into
the contract, but it will be tastefully done.’
This
is not the first time that Lindsay has bared all for a magazine, in
2008 she covered herself in just a sheer pink scarf posing on the front
of New York magazine.
Lindsay
has been keeping a fairly low profile of late and last month she spent
just four and a half hours in jail, after being released early from her
30-day sentence, due to overcrowding.Â
The
sentence also requires Lohan to undergo 18 psychotherapy sessions and
appear monthly at court hearings between December 2011 and March 2012,
she also has to complete more community service.
