Cindy Crawford Says No to Playboy

The editors of Playboy would have liked to have Cindy Crawford pose nude for the third time in their magazine.

The celebrity refused, saying that she was not certain she could trust the current photographer, as she trusted the late Herb Ritts.

The last time Crawford, 38, posed in Playboy, was in 1999, just before becoming a mother.

She says, "Now that I have kids it’s a different consideration because my son’s five and he’s not quite aware yet, but I just wouldn’t want him to get hassled. The photographer that I did it with both times was a very good friend of mine. He passed away and I don’t know if I would trust anyone else in that same way that I trusted Herb Ritts."
