The scandal regarding nude photos of Adrienne Bailon seems to have done wonders for her publicity.  It was recently reported that all of it was a scheme by Hollywood publicist, Jonathan Jaxson, in an effort to boost Bailon's image.  It appears to have worked, since news has been buzzing that this star of The Cheetah Girls landed a deal with Playboy magazine.

Sources say that she is getting close to accepting the offer.  As documented by Page Six, Bailon will supposedly receive $100,000 if she poses for the pictorial.  According to the contract, what they ask of her are “stylish photos with full nudity in sufficient quantity and quality.”

The confession that the photo leak was a publicity stunt gave the singer-actress more attention than what she wanted.  However, Disney remained silent on the issue and has yet to release its statement.  Fans await the word regarding Bailon's role in The Cheetah Girls' upcoming movie, as well as in their ongoing tour.

But Adrienne Bailon announced that she was having a good time with their recent success.  She managed an interview before the publicity scheme flooded the Internet and was conducted while The Cheetah Girls were scheduled to play at Nassau Coliseum.

Asked how the tour was going, Bailon answered with a smile.  “It's definitely the biggest production we've put together.  It's got a Cirque du Soleil feel to it.  If you liked the last tour, this one totally blows that one out of the water.”

She also opened up about their movie, The Cheetah Girls: One World.  “It's an amazing adventure that we never thought would happen.  Learning about another culture, trying different foods and learning another style of dancing for the movie - it was very glamorous.  I think Bollywood is so vibrant.”

Despite all the rumors and the disgrace she might be facing, Adrienne Bailon knows she needs to boost the spirits of fans and colleagues alike.  “Celebrate who you are, celebrate what makes you special.  The great message of the Cheetah Girls is that we're a multicultural group and that we're not clones of one another.  We're totally different from one another, yet we can still be best friends and learn from each other.”
