Britney Spears posing for Playboy???? She may very well be considering a proposal from Hugh.

Will a Playboy photo shoot revive Britney Spears career? About five years ago, “Playboy” offered the world famous singer $2 million to pose nude. Britney declined the offer. But with her stardom declining and giving birth to two children, Britney’s buff shots are only worth about $400,000 to the magazine, according to our sources.

It’s amazing what damage five years, 20 pounds, and two kids can do to a girl’s asking price. An insider said, “Britney is truly delusional if she thinks anyone is going to pay giant bucks to see her nude. She’s already bared too much flesh for free while out partying for that to happen.”

This is true and how much airbrushing would have to be done? Rumors were that Britney Spears was asking for seven figures. This is quite a bit more than “Playboy” CEO Hugh Hefner is willing to pay. There was a time when Hugh Hefner might have been willing to pay up, but that time has long gone.Earlier reports stated that Hugh Hefner rejected Britney’s request altogether. Especially after her sub-par performance at the NTV VMA’s. I will be curious to see if any men’s magazines will display Britney Spears in the buff. She has done some cover shots, but those have been touched up extensively to bring back the sexy Britney Spears.

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is one of those do-it-all success stories. The 37 year old is a singer, actress, song writer, record producer, and music video director all wrapped into one. As you can imagine, this means that Mariah Carey is a very busy person. But at the same time, all of these different titles have brought a lot of fame and fortune to her life. And it is safe to say that she would not want to have it any other way. Mariah is currently number 6 on the top 20 richest women in the entertainment business list. She’s worth an estimated $225 million.

In 1990, Mariah Carey released her debut album under the direction of Columbia Records. It is a little known fact that she was the first musician to have each of her first five singles climb to number one in the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart. Even though Mariah had a lot of success with her first album, which was self titled, she did not stop there. In fact, Billboard magazine has noted repeatedly that Mariah was the most successful musician of the 1990’s. If you think about all of the competition during this decade it is easy to see just how big of an accomplishment this was.

By 2001 Mariah Carey’s career was taking a downward turn. This led her to leave Columbia Records, and eventually sign with Virgin Records; this deal did not last long. In 2002, she signed with Island Records, and in no time at all Carey was back to the forefront of the industry.

At the 2000 World Music Awards, Carey was named the best selling female pop artist of the millennium.

In addition to selling millions of albums worldwide which have netted her big time money, Mariah Carey has also acted in several different television shows and movies. In the 1999 move The Bachelor, Mariah made her big screen debut as an opera singer. Her first starring role came in the 2001 film, Glitter.

Mariah Carey has been one of the biggest names in the music industry since breaking onto the scene in 1990. Even though her career sputtered a bit after her success in the 90′s, Mariah Carey is back on track.

Christina Aguilera is ranked # 19 as one the richest women in America with an estimated net worth of $60 million.

While Christina Aguilera has not sold as many albums as fellow former Mickey Mouse Club cast mate and pop rival Britney Spears, the Grammy Award winner’s latest album, Back to Basics, went to No. 1 on the charts in 13 countries. Christina has sold over 20 million albums to date, while her tours have generated over $50 million. Endorsement deals with Verizon, Pepsi and others have definitely boosted her bottom line.

Christina Aguilera is a song writer and singer who quickly became one of the hottest names in the music industry. Born in December of 1980, Christina is one of the youngest stars in the industry. But even though she is achieving loads of success at this time, Christina got an early start in life.

In 1999, Christina released her first album, Christina Aguilera. This is when fans began to take notice of not only her singing ability, but also her sexy appearance. Shortly after releasing this album, she released two others, Mi Reflejo and My Kind of Christmas. Even though both of these were more or less specialty albums, they sold quite strong.

Christina Aguilera’s second album, Stripped, was released in 2002 and many feel that this was her best work to date. This is due in large part to big sales numbers, as well as a change in image. During this time she decided to shed her good girl image, and become more of a sex symbol. As you can imagine, this did a lot for her career outside of the music industry.

Christina’s third studio album, Back to Basics, was released in 2006. This album blended blues, jazz, and soul music; elements that she had not touched on in her earlier releases.

Over the years, Christina Aguilera’s albums have been well received. She has been nominated for 16 Grammy awards, and won five of those times. All of her albums combined have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

Christina is very involved with a number of different charities. Just a sampling of them include: the Women’s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, the Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and Refuge UK. Additionally, she plays a strong role in the fight against AIDS.

Christina Aguilera has sold millions of albums worldwide, and graced the cover of many magazines. With her sex appeal and extraordinary voice, there is no wondering why Christina Aguilera has become so popular since breaking into the industry nearly a decade ago.
