KIM KARDASHIAN - KARDASHIAN STRIPPED FOR PLAYBOY TO SHOW OFF 'THE REAL ME'

Socialite KIM KARDASHIAN stripped for Playboy in a bid to prove to the world she hasn't been cosmetically enhanced. The pretty brunette, who was involved in a sex tape scandal last year (06), bares all in the December 2007 issue of the men's magazine, and admits the decision to get naked wasn't an easy one. Kardashian, a former best pal of Paris Hilton, admits she thought long and hard about the offer to pose for Playboy, and asked family members and friends to help her with her decision. But, in the end, she decided it would be a good idea because the world would then be able to see her all-natural curves. The 27-year-old says, "I wanted to show that I'm not some skinny girl, I have a healthy body image, and I'm happy with my curves and who I am. "I always laugh when it says on the Internet that I have fake boobs, butt implants or injected lips, because it's so not true. I've never had plastic surgery. "I'm excited for people to finally see how I really am." Busty Kardashian graces the cover of the new Playboy, wearing a skimpy red bathing suit, but she strips off inside, wearing nothing but pearls and ornate jewellery.
