Lohan's initial shoot for Playboy had to be scrapped, with some reports claiming that it was because of the poor state of her teeth, which were reportedly chipped and badly stained – and others claiming she went for a Kate Moss-inspired shoot that Hefner is said to have hated.
The 25-year-old actress re-shot the Playboy spread – for which she was reportedly paid $1m – for the January/February issue of the US men’s magazine in between being sentenced to jail and serving just four-and-a-half hours in the slammer.
“The pictures Lindsay took last week are much better than the first set,” a source reportedly told RadarOnline, adding, “the final decision gets made by Hef on which pictures go in the magazine.”
Meanwhile, another source told the New York Post’s Page Six: “[Hefner] felt the initial shots looked too much like a Kate Moss-inspired fashion story – Lindsay’s choice – where he wanted the more classic Hollywood Marilyn Monroe feel.”
Speaking about the new photo-shoot, Hefner confirmed that the former Mean Girls star appears in the spread fully nude, but that it is “very classy'.
Describing the look of the pictures, he told The Insider: 'It's a classic tribute inspired by the original Tom Kelly nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, a portion of which was the original playmate in the very first issue of Playboy.'
