Actress Melissa Joan Hart, best known for her role as Sabrina The Teenage Witch, revealed she was once offered $1 million to pose nude for Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Magazine. She considered the offer and actually ended up stripping down to her underwear for Maxim back in 1999, but that caused a lot of humiliation for her younger brother.

Melissa says: “They came around and offered me a million dollars, which I had to seriously consider. Initially it’s like, ‘Yeah, I’ll take my clothes off for a million bucks, are you kidding?’ It’s the big question: What will you do for a million dollars?”

“I was 23-years-old … and I went through a time where I was a little wild. I actually showed up at the photoshoot from The Playboy Mansion, so it was like, ‘Oh big deal — bra and panties, that’s what I saw everybody in all night.’ I had no idea how big that was going to be. (From that experience) I learned that I didn’t want to do Playboy. But I decided that because of the reaction I got from Maxim I wasn’t comfortable — and my brother had that cover shoved in his face for months. That made me say no.”

There is nothing shameful about the photo shoot Melissa did for Maxim. after two babies, I think it’s time for her to do it again to boost her self-esteem – Jennifer Love Hewitt did it and she absolutely gorgeous (photos)!!
