Cover Girls?

Tara Reid has been out of the spotlight for quite some time now, but the "American Pie" starlet now looks poised to make quite the comeback in the very near future.

Reid stripped down (apparently ALL THE WAY down) last week in a shoot for Playboy magazine’s December issue. The 33-year-old got a very bad lipo job five years ago, and has since suffered with body image issues.

"She is really shy about getting the Playboy gig," said a pal. "She’s scared to talk about it because of what people and the press might say. But she’s doing so well, she looks amazing."

"I only wear bikinis, I love bikinis. I don’t get too scandalous, string bikini’s only! No thongs or anything like that," she said.

However, word on the street is that "Real Housewives of New York" beauty Kelly Bensimon may also be flashing some flesh in the mag’s December issue, otherwise known as the annual "Celebrity" issue which in the past has featured Hollywood hotties like Kim Kardashian and Cindy Margolis.
