After leak, Playboy issue to hit stands early

After the nude photos of American bombshell, Lindsay Lohan, for Playboy's January/February issue have made their way into public via 'Internet leak', the magazine has decided to shell out the issue earlier than decided.

Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Playboy Enterprises Hugh Hefner, who seems to be grossing out, revealed the news through a number of posts on Twitter on Saturday.

"Because of the interest & the Internet leak, we´re releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early."

"The actual Lindsey Lohan issue will be available on newsstands at the end of next week. Hot. Hot. Hot.n"

"Lindsay Lohan was the top search name on the Internet yesterday. Her issue goes on sale late next week. Hot. Hot. Hot."

Hefner also said that due to high demand, the Playboy issue with actress's pictorial is also available on iPlayboy.

Claiming that the issue will be a true Collector's Edition, he earlier tweeted that the pictures were apparently inspired by the Marilyn Monroe nudes by Tom Kelley that launched Playboy and her career.

He also added that the issue will make the perfect Christmas issue for men in one's life--father, son, husband, boyfriend, whoever.

The cover page of the much awaited edition features Lohan sitting on a bright red Playboy bunny chair covering her private parts and wearing high black silhouettes.

Reports also suggest that the leak could prove to be a big loss to the magazine since it paid nearly $1 million to the lady and also printed extra copies with the expectation of the issue being the best seller.
