Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez to Pose for Playboy, $2 Million Offer
After achieving mass media attention and sparking controversy for featuring Lindsay Lohan in a photo shoot, Playboy is now rumored to be after Disney stars, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Playboy, however, is being fiercely criticized by those who are saying the move is immoral and would tarnish the stars’ images permanently.
Now Magazine reports that Playboy is willing to pay Cyrus nearly $2 million to pose. Although they also reported that Playboy thought it would be unlikely for either star to agree they added that “Miley's marijuana controversy gave her a bit of bad girl edge,” and the magazine is hoping that it could convince the Hannah Montana star to continue in that downward moral spiral.
The magazine also suggested that Playboy would controversially be interested in other Disney stars as well. However, many feel this is a step too far and question whether the magazine really cares whether or not such a move would tarnish their youthful images.
