Kelly Bensimon Would Be 'Honored' to Pose for Playboy

By Amber James Posted Oct 15th 2009 03:27PM

Although Kelly Bensimon is busy tackling the 3rd season of 'The Real Housewives of New York City', she's rumored to be vying for Playboy's December cover. While she's staying tight-lipped, Bensimon revealed her deep respect for Hugh Hefner and why she'd be honored to pose for the "Celebrity" issue.

"I have always had so much admiration for Hugh Hefner. He was first to say, 'Men's magazines are exciting, but they are more exciting with hot women on the cover.' It's great that he loved women and great journalism, so I would be honored to be a part of it," she told PopEater.

PopEater: So is it true you might be posing for Playboy?
Kelly Bensimon: "Actually, I can't comment on this. Sorry."

PopEater: Well, would you be honored to be in Playboy?
Kelly Bensimon: "Well, I wrote this book called 'American Style' and one of the most amazing images I have in the book is a picture of a girl on the cover of a Playboy from the '70s. I have always had so much admiration for Hugh Hefner... so I would be honored to be a part of it."

PopEater: Tell us how you stay in shape.
Kelly Bensimon: "I can be honest with you. I am the lazy athlete. I grew up as a competitive swimmer and always ran when I was younger. But when I got into my 20s, I was modeling and traveling, so I would just run instead. Literally, I have run every city, and that's how I started to maintain my weight. I was reading this book and the diet tip said, 'If you just exercise for 30 minutes a day, you'll always maintain your weight.' That's exactly what I do -- whether it is the elliptical, running or riding my horses. It is really about just doing something for 30 minutes a day."

Everyone always asks, 'How are you always so nice?' It's because I eat really well and sleep a lot. Your body is like a Maserati, and you need to treat it like that. You have to drive it carefully, feed it the right gas and take care of it. I want people to have a lot of integrity with their bodies because you only have one of them. And why would anyone ever, ever diet? Just walk. Go enjoy yourself. Dieting is like giving your car water instead of gas."

Everytime this woman opens her mouth I cringe, thinking okay whats going to come pouring out. Well she did not disappoint me in her interview here. The journalist asked her a simple question. What makes you so nice ? Call me crazy but I think they were asking her about her personality, about being a nice person. But obviously you have to spell out exactly what you mean to this air-head. She goes on this acid trip tirade about a maserati, about keeping it clean, the proper gas, and a diet !! Okay, shoot me !

By big poppy

how honored would she feel if it was her daughter being asked/told to spread her legs a little wider so they could see up into her baby maker?... or told to bend waaay over so they could get a nice gaping pink shot of the interior of her vagina - what an HONOR for her and ALL women, right?... women, wtf has happened to your sense of indignation over the last 25 years?... have we returned to our vomit, like a dog, as the Bible says we will?... hugh hefner has aged into the dried up little crypt keeper he always really was... he's a sleezebag, no less appalling than larry flint or any of the rest of these flesh peddlers... GOD, we are such effing sorry excuses for what we were intended to be!!!... forgive us all, LORD!!!
