3LW/Cheetah Girl Lands Deal With Playboy, Alleged Theft A Hoax ?

Cheetah Girl and former 3LW star Adrienne Bailon is reportedly close to inking a deal with
Playboy, this after 'nude' photos of the singer hit the net earlier
this week.
In
a deal documented by Page Six, Bailon will receive $100,000 if she poses for
the magazine in what Hugh Hefner would call "stylish photos with full
nudity in sufficient quantity and quality."
News of Bailon's
deal surfaces just after the reported 'thief', who allegedly stole her laptop and posted the photos, confessed that the whole thing was a
publicity stunt.
While it looks like Bailon has had the last laugh,
Disney handlers have yet to release a statement concerning the singer's
role in the Cheetah Girls and the ongoing tour, which happens to run
through the end of the year.
Here's what the allegedly thief,
Jonathan Jaxson, had to say, who by the way worked with Kim Kardashian,
Bailon's boyfriend's sister and star in R&B singer Ray J's infamous
sex tape:
"Purely attention," Jaxson told a CBS affiliate.
Referring
to the original story about 'the cheetah girl's' laptop, Jaxson says
"What better way to do that than to say that nude pictures could have
been stolen from her laptop ?"
At press time Adrienne Bailon was still on tour with the Cheetah Girls.
As previously reported on Singersroom, since 2003, 'The Cheetah Girls' have become sort of a phenomenon ala'
High School Musical for Disney spawning three films, three studio
albums, several perfume collections, dolls, room decor lines, a book
series and clothing.
The Cheetah Girls grossed over $26 million on their first two tours with over $17 million earned in revenue from merchandise and other related entities.
Bailon
burst onto the scene in 2000 as 1/3 of the R&B group 3LW. The group
disbanded for the most part in 2002 after the release of their album "A
Girl Can Mack".

i want to see a body without clothes no bra no panties!$$$$$$$$$$$
Is she really posing for playboy? I can't wait to see her without that $100.00 bra, and see what type of private tatoo she chose.
oh.
i thank every body need to mind they f***in bisiness and let her do wat she do
I guess she learned from the best, Kim K taught her the oldest tricks in the book. She got famous from having sex on tape, in which she claims somehow got leaked. Now we know the truth.
It's unfortunate and a reality check, that I had to explain to my 9 year old daughter that their are "supposedly nude"photos of one the members of her favorite group: because she heard at her school. Even though this is a hoax, the afterthoughts of Bailon's camp even placing images of possibe nudity in their fans minds is not admirable. We all know sex sells, but we as parents are the ones who have to draw the line when it comes to teaching our young girls. Her camp wanted the attention for Bailon on several blogs like this one and to set herself up for a career post-Disney! What are the parents gonna now think when we're the ones buying these concert tickets: 3 girls on stage with images of Sex&Disney at your local arena" By not releasing a statement, Disney themselves may be trying to send us a message about what they perceive to be OK in a world where our children are exposed to almost any and everything.
