MELISSA ETHERIDGE WANTS TO POSE FOR `PLAYBOY'

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a shocker that would be an eye-opener: Melissa Etheridge says she wouldn't mind posing nude in "Playboy." Etheridge tells "US Weekly" that if Hugh Hefner asked her to strip, she'd probably bare her 39-year-old breasts to the world. The singer -- who has posed nude for anti-fur ads -- says she's willing to go nude just so she can be what she calls "the first boundary-crossing big-dyke-gone "Playboy."" The idea sounds good to the men's magazine and a spokeswoman for "Playboy" says the editors would love to have Etheridge drop her drawers for readers.
