Jenny McCarthy to Pose Nude for Playboy at Age 39

The model, actress, author, and controversial activist will bare all for her seventh nude pictorial with the magazine, on stands this month.

Oh, Jenny McCarthy. Once again, you’re posing nude for Playboy.You were naked in Playboy, back in the 90s, when getting naked in Playboy could really do something on your career. Then you hosted a cheesy MTV dating show with this guy. Then you made those weird shoe adswhere you were sitting on a toilet. Then you made some weird movie that nobody saw. Then you wrote some books that I had assumed were unpopular because I didn’t bother investigating (because they did not feature vampires and/ or dating tips), but, in reality, were best-sellers. Then you dated Jim Carrey, something something controversial activism that I am not going to delve into here, you dumped Jim Carrey, and then, here we are again, on the eve of your 40th birthday, with you getting naked in Playboy once more.

Are you familiar with the myth of the ouroboros, Jenny McCarthy? The snake eternally eating its own tail, yet never quite consuming itself? Do we all end up back where we started, Jenny McCarthy? Did we ever really even leave? Or do we just lie to ourselves for a time, Jenny McCarthy, to make it easier to get up every day, to believe we’re making progress, getting things done, moving away into a hazily defined future where we’ll somehow be happier, smarter, more fulfilled than we are today? Can you feel me, Jenny McCarthy? Do you stare out into the moon-lit night, all alone, and whisper to yourself, “What did any of it even mean? And will it ever mean anything ever again?” I know you do, Jenny McCarthy. I do it, too. And I hear you, Jenny McCarthy. Halfway around the world, I hear you. And I know.

Jenny McCarthy is also the cousin of Bridesmaids actress Melissa McCarthy. Jenny’s Playboy issue hits stands on Friday, June 29th.
