DARYL HANNAH - STERN: DARYL TO SUE PLAYBOY

LATEST: Sexy actress DARYL HANNAH is reportedly going ahead with her plan to sue PLAYBOY magazine because she's unhappy with their nude photospread of her.

The publicity-shy actress, 42, posed for the men's magazine after being promised 100 per approval of the photos that would be used. The shoot was a bid to promote her appearance in QUENTIN TARANTINO's latest film KILL BILL.

However, according to the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, radio shock-jock HOWARD STERN says Hannah told him after interviewing her on Tuesday (7OCT03) that she was suing the mag.

The actress' lawyer MARTIN SINGER hasn't commented, but a Playboy spokesman says she has not yet filed papers, adding, "Ms Hannah personally selected photographer (TONY DURAN) for the shoot, which took place in August (03). We think the result is a beautiful, groundbreaking photo essay."

A friend tells the newspaper, "She (was promised) full approval on the shots, and they used photos she hadn't approved of."

Hannah is said to object to pictures of herself in pink in-line skates.
