Lindsay Lohan in Playboy: Posing Nude Gives Me "Confidence"

Is Lindsay Lohan's nude, Marilyn Monroe-inspired pictorial in Playboy a desperate ploy for attention from a trouble-plagued star?
Not so, the 25-year-old actress tells the men's magazine, in just-released quotes from her interview. (The cover and interior shots were leaked online earlier in the week, prompting the mag to move up the release date.)
PHOTOS: How her face has changed
"Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with nature," the Mean Girls star says of her in-the-buff photos, which are an homage to the late Monroe's own iconic Playboy spread. "Knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence."

In the leaked pics, Lohan wears just a pair of a pumps, with her blonde locks in retro-style waves and with her lips a bright shade of vampy red.
"It's a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is mine."
The former Disney cutiepie, of course, hasn't had the most confidence-building several years, as her movie roles dried up and she ran into frequent troubles with the law over her partying, her drug and alcohol abuse, a related DUI, subsequent probation violations, even the theft of an expensive necklace.

But, looking forward, she says she's learned from those transgressions. "Ultimately we are each responsible for ourselves and for our actions," says the star, who has dodged long-term jail sentences more than once. "Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more."

How did the real trouble begin? Muses Lohan: "My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way. During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable."

if i agree to see how it's work
Honestly, how many times will she say she's "learned" something...and then proven she hasn't?
Who the Heck is Linday Lohan? Oops failed model
What an odd pose on the front...especially the left leg out to the side. That pose isn't sexy at all...JMO. What is every woman's obsession with posing like Marilyn Monroe???? This girl has no individuality at all. She would be best to disappear for awhile, then come ack. Give it a rest, Ms. Lohan.
It give me confidence, too -- that you really ARE a pathetic loser.
.?
Who cares? Irrelevant starlet without any personal achievments shows some skin...boring.
i always say, when u get old u can always say, Damn I looked good!! he he!!
To each his/her own and I am all for being in touch with one's on sexuality etc. but let's keep it real. Playboy is allowing Lindsey to remain relavent when everyone knows she has been such a non MF Factor in the industry. I mean if the movies are not calling then I guess Playboy is the next option? It's sad to me because she was a talented actress and we all know the worst thing in life is ...#wastedtalent
Lindsay be honest. it gave you a paycheck which you needed because you haven't made a movie in like 5 years.
wow......airbrushed much, she dsnt look that good in photos these days lol
no crotch shots! BOOO!
i really like it and i think she looks killer
The Marilyn thing is too overplayed. And confidence shows when you are comfortable being yourself and being SOBER. Masking yourself with drugs and booze is not confident Lindsay.
