Toni Braxton openly mulling Playboy pictorial

The third time might be the charm for Toni Braxton. The twice bankrupt R&B songstress recently told her Twitter followers that she might pose for Playboy -- something she says she's been offered three times now.

Granted that first offer probably came in 1997, with a much higher payday, but Braxton would still be a get for the thinking man's nudie mag.

"New Year, New opportunities," Braxton initially tweeted. "So I have been considering taking up Playboy's offer to feature me on their cover this year. What you think?"

The question prompted an avalanche of responses from her nearly 80,000 followers. Braxton followed up by revealing she'd been offered "about 3 times before," that her participation would be "tastefully done" and only include "just a lil T and A."

She's also apparently open to posing with Playboy figurehead Hugh Hefner. "I would love to pose with Hugh Hefner though," she says. "He's the sexiest guy I know over 30."

Really? You're going with "over 30" on this one?

2011 is shaping up to be a relatively big one for Braxton. She recently landed her own reality show on WE.
