Lindsay Lohan to unveil Playboy spread on ‘Ellen’

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan will unveil her highly anticipated Playboy spread during an interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” her rep told NewsCore Tuesday.

In her first television interview since she served jail time for violating her probation, Lohan, 25, will chat with DeGeneres on Dec. 15 to promote her pictorial in the January/February issue of the men’s magazine.

The issue will go on sale in late December.

The “Mean Girls” star posed for the racy shots in late October but later had to re-shoot the pictures after Playboy founder Hugh Hefner complained about the initial photos.

“The pictorial is absolutely fantastic and very tasteful, and will be accompanied by an interview that will let readers see another side of Lindsay,” her rep said.

The troubled starlet is rumored to have earned $1 million for stripping down, some needed cash as her legal woes and struggles with substance abuse have made it difficult to book any acting gigs.

Lohan’s appearance on “Ellen” will be her first media appearance since she admitted to violating her probation in early November. Lohan had failed to regularly appear for her scheduled visits at the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles, part of her sentence for pleading no contest in May to stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Los Angeles boutique.

She was sentenced to 30 days in county jail for not keeping up with the court-ordered community service requirements, but the actress ended up only spending four-and-a-half hours in the slammer due to jail overcrowding.
