Toni Braxton revealed to her family that she'd agreed to pose nude for 'Playboy' magazine. She got support from some sides, and less from others.

"I think a lot of men will have problems with that," her mother told her. She went on to explain in a confessional that "No man wants his wife, his girlfriend, or his potential wife or girlfriend to be naked in front of other men."

After a little bit of arguing back and forth, Toni finally shut it down. "I'm Toni Braxton, b****," she declared, "I don't care what other people think. It's about what I think about myself."

It's also a little about what Hef thinks, as she was more than flattered he deemed her "fabulous sexy" enough for his magazine.

What else is there for her to show. Seriously, she has posed nude a number of times.

What a disappointment her career turned out to be.

As RuPaul says:

Click, clack (make dat money)!

I wonder if they'll photoshop her into oblivion.

Yep...

This is seriously like a decade too late.

I'm in.

she's posing nude, so. this ain't the uptight repressed 50's. everyone is one click from seeing some strange over the top sexual stuff on their computers/ cell phones. A decade too late? Ms. Braxton is several decades too late.

She may as well do it.She has no dignity left anyway.But like someone else said....what more can she expose? She's already done several provocative photo shoots in the past.

Who knows? Maybe this will do what her recent albums and stupid reality show has failed to do: reinvigorate her fading career.

She's said that it won't be full nudity so it's not that exciting. Won't be anything I haven't seen before

So,she's gonna tease us again? I say "go all the way" or don't do it all!

Y'all do know this is a joke, right?

Toni hasn't still officially announced she'd do it. And besides, she bared it all already.

It's never too late to find out if Toni is well trimmed or close shaved.

I'm pretty sure her motives for Playboy are $$$$, not artistic expression.

Agreed. If this happened in 1996 it would have been HUGE, in 2011 it warrants a meh.

I can care less what she does anymore...she is tired and I had enough of her and this mess. She could really revitalize her career and sing with her head up instead of these hood jams and posing nude...chile I am too through

Aaah the good ol days...

Maybe so, but we have to take in consideration that music is everchanging. Toni tried to change with the times. She did hip-hop soul trax, pop ballads, etc.

The biggest mistake she made was trying to leave LaFace/Arista. She thought she could compete with the Destiny's Childs of the late 90s when she should have continued evolving as a pop singer. She should have left the hip-hop tracks to the kids and continued to make pop songs.

She sold out to hip-hop, that's as brunt as I can put it. I can't excuse that she just simply "wanted to change with the times". I could understand it when Prince, Michael and Madonna did it because they still had their trademark sound but it seems like Toni forgot where she came from...

Sooo true! I'm not saying she shouldn't have done some of the hip-hop stuff, but abandoning what made her big is just crazy.

Right, and it seems as she made hip-hop styled recordings, her weaknesses were more exposed than her strengths.
