Word hit the wires today that a longtime source of GFY bafflement, alleged actress Bai Ling (okay, we know she's been in stuff, but still -- Sky Captain blew), will be posing for Playboy.
According to the linked blurb, Ms. Ling has said she was "shocked" by the idea but that she is willing to make "sacrifices for the sake of art."
And so we ask: What, exactly, is she sacrificing?
Certainly not the the zeal with which she guards her breasts' privacy. Certainly not modesty. Indeed, certainly not terribly many clothes.
Perhaps she's just concerned about forsaking her right to wear a satin potato sack. Either way, Playboy isn't going to do much that a stiff breeze probably hasn't already achieved.
Good thing I don't have a subscription the Playboy, that's one person I do not want to see naked.
... and besides, what's there to be shocked about? There's nothing to see anyway!
Ms. Ling will probably be wearing the best outfit she ever had in the Playboy photo shoot: her birthday suit. It's probably due to the GFY exposure that she's even known. She should send Heather and Jessica some flowers.
Gyah!!!!!! Why???? Why do we even care! This is the equivalent of Lil' Kim or Tara Reid agreeing to a spread! The only thing we haven't seen yet is Bai's vagina, and now we'll even get to see that! Grrr. Very glad I'm not into naked women...>.
Ok, so I looked at the original source for this.
A FOUR DAY SHOOT! Good heavens!
actually, her "talent company was shocked". I suspect she was hardly surprised because she's been pitching for it so long with her campaign of almost-nakedness.
I have only one question for the publishers of Playboy and that is -
Why pay for what you can get free?
Hey, I liked Sky Captain! Note they had the wisdom to cast her as an evil robot. Now, why would anyone pay to see her in Playboy when you can see plenty of starving naked people in the pages of National Geographic?

/According to the linked blurb, Ms. Ling has said she was "shocked" by the idea but that she is willing to make "sacrifices for the sake of art."/
In other words, "When Ms. Ling found out how much money Playboy was offering, she dropped trou right there in her agent's office."
I'm still wondering when ANYONE ever considered "Playboy" to be "art".
But isn't that a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has run off or something like that?
...frightening image comes to mind.
*says to self* "think field of daisies, think field of daisies"...
I can't imagine why she would be "shocked" - she's posed naked before. Just do an image search for "Bai Ling".

i only hit post once, i promise!

My ex subscribes to Playboy. Seeing her naked is the best revenge on him I never had.
I say good for Bai Ling. Everyone wants to get paid for what they love to do and she is living the dream.

Where did GuangDong News unearth a picture of a tastefully clothed (with emphasis on "clothed") Bai Ling to announce the next step in her desperation for a career?
Unless that red dress has an ass or vagina cutout, this is clearly falsified information. Libel!
"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free??" And in this case, the milk is so curdled it's yogurt. Isn't Bai Ling's nude spread in Playboy equivalent to the bathroom with no doors on its stalls in the Department of Redundancy Department Office Building? You know if you go in there, you'll just see stuff you've seen before and never want to see again. And at this point,the only things keeping me from being Bai's official gynecologist are five inches of designer fabric and my lack of a medical degree. People,JUST SAY NO-thank you.

You know if you go in there, you'll see stuff that you've already seen before and never want to see again. I already feel that the only things keeping me from being Bai's official gynecologist are a stategically placed a five inch swath of designer fabric and my lack of a medical degree. So I say-Just say NO, people!!
I heard about this some time ago and have been urging my husband to dump our subscription ever since. The reasoning is this. He always keeps a pile of Playboys in the bathroom in full range, with the newest one on top. The idea of venturing on Bai's naked duppa first thing in the morning without even a cup of coffee in my system has me scared to death...
And an entire nation sighs...SO WHAT!
"sacrifices for the sake of art."
Clearly this can only mean one thing: Bai Ling will appear in her Playboy spread FULLY DRESSED.
He he I said spread.
The thing that interests me is that in the article it carefully specifies that Bai Ling is going to take off her clothing and pose nude.
WHAT CLOTHING??!?!?!?!??!?!

half way there...
This oughtta be good.
This is bad on so many levels.
I don't like looking a at a half- to quarter-dressed Bai Ling, and I damn sure don't want to see her al fresco...
It'll be a hit with those who get their rocks off on pre-pubescent boys.
Whenever I go to the gym, there's always these nasty old gross guys that hang around naked in the lockerroom. And they just can't cover up, ever. And although you are trying to get out of there as fast as you can and keep your eyes averted at all times, they move into position and somehow manage to make sure to bend over and dry their toes just as you look up to put on your lock. Bai Ling is the celebrity equivalent of those nasty old men in my lockerroom. No one wants to see them naked, but everyone will, by hook or by crook.
I love Bai -- she's hilarious. She may not mean to be hilarious, but I appreciate it anyway.
I agree with Jack that she's unintentionally funny. This is most likely wishful thinking on my part, but perhaps she realized after appearing practically naked for free at red carpet events that she should charge for this and not give away the store---and thus dress more appropriately in public. Oh, I can dream.
I can't even BU-LEEEEVE the "sacrifice for the sake of art" part. That has so been used. If you're gonna take off your (miniscule amount of) clothing for money, just freekin' do it. Either tell the truth ("I want the money and exposure") or come up with a lie that isn't older than my grandmother's antique butter churn.
Having Bai Ling pose naked is like child paedophilia: there isn't really much to see, but to some people it's morbidly fascinating. That and Bai Ling's obscene lack of flesh make for a very weird Playboy experience.
Asianorexia 101?

Or a good career move. I mean, when was the last time a woman posed nekkid in "Playboy" and had her career take off?
bigger shoes, smaller dress....

Sadly though, getting naked and having your picture taken really isn't a big deal.
Sacrifice for the sake of art, my pasty flat ass!
So wait, she is going to be showing her nips on purpose now? What is the fun in that!
What's left to see? Maybe they'll just publish some of her x-rays...

My husband wanted to know why I was laughing out loud (again). I told him Bai Ling would be posing in Playboy. And I quote "They won't be able to anything about the face"... Ouch. My thoughts, been there, seen that already laughed!
Wow, guys, the Lingster wore her only demure outfit for the photos on that site! I didn't see any of the usual bits. It's amazing, really. Perhaps Ol' Bai over there is really a genius, and understands the irony of wearing her only real dress for an article announcing that she will be forgoing clothing completely. Either way, kudos to the only decency she's ever shown.
Super quick (I hate double commenting...), You guys finally put up a Bai Ling section! Yay! *Loves you guys *EVEN* MORE!!!!!!!! if that is humanly possible* Sigh, you girls make my gray skies blue. Totally, totally rocking. ^_^ Thank you for just being you!

Either no one here has seen Playboy lately, or I haven't seen Playboy lately. Playboy has amazingly artistic photoshoots--I am thinking particularly of the Carmen Electra Christmas shoot.
As for the second question, Kim Basinger?
Marilyn Monroe? Not 'taken off', perhaps, but 'gained more popularity'.
I'm almost curious to see if Playboy can make Bai Ling look good in this photoshoot.
Check this photo out:
"No one touches me or this photo shoot is over"
http://www.space-debris.com/JNH_BaiLing.jpg
Eww. Who would want to touch her?
What is she wearing on her head there?
And when some half-nekkid chick is the scariest thing in a room full of fat white guys, you know there's something wrong with her.
You forgot to include that recent photo Bai showing her incredibly low, low cut bottom and the incredibly high cut thong straps!!!! That's a keeper!!!! ;)
I just think Bai Ling, aside from being unknown except for this site (as someone posted earlier) and having no figure, is plain FUGLY. She is scary looking and I do not understand why Playboy would want to put such a hideous specimen in a magazine that is known for showing sexy women.
*One of these things is not like the others!*
sounds like Playboy has their obligitory minority shoot to do, being as vanilla as you can get with their regular 'cheesecake'.
I wonder if Ling's pitiful impersonation of the 'Paris' pose will also be done naked for the shoot.
I'm sure she will look classier naked because the clothing she chooses is just awful!
Hello? She's getting the cover of Playboy, because she's going to be in Star Wars this summer. Last I heard she was appearing on the June cover. When does Star Wars come out? May 19. That is the one and only reason Playboy is interested in her. Say it with me: "Star Wars actress Bai Ling NUDE NUDE NUDE LIVE LIVE LIVE" on the cover of Playboy. It's a publicity stunt for all involved, except George Lucas. He hates this stuff, and is probably PISSED PISSED PISSED that they're using one of his signature films to sell porn.
WOOOOOHOOOO!!!! Bai finally gets her own lil' bit o' heaven/category :))
At least I think she can act. She's just won the Best Supporting Actress for the show "Dumplings" in the Golden Horse Awards 2005. (The chinese version of the Oscars). Check the pictures out; she wore this extremely skimpy dress that showed off (horror) her butterfly (on the boob) and tiger (on the back) tattoos.
