Jenny McCarthy, the bubbly blonde object of many a pre-teen’s lust in the ’90s, is about to grace the pages of Playboy almost twenty years after she became Playmate of the Year.

McCarthy has been in the news recently because of her rumored romance with footballer Brian Urlacher but has been out of the spotlight for a while, maintaining a rather quiet career with the television show “Two And A Half Men” after causing some controversy over vaccinations and their possible link to autism, which she said was the cause of her own son’s battle with the disorder.

She has said in the past that she would love to appear in Playboy again but wasn’t hopeful that it would actually happen.

“I would absolutely pose for Playboy. I would be so flattered if they asked me. It’s probably not going to happen but I think I want to do it again,” she said.

Her first stint in Playboy landed her a gig as co-host of the MTV dating show “Singled Out”, which only led to more career opportunities. She made the move to film in 1995 with an appearance in “Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead” and has since built an impressive onscreen resume.

She is reported to be included in the July issue of Playboy, which will hit stands in mid-June.
