Kristine Lefebvre
News

Today is your first chance to see Kristine Lefebvre nude. Her Playboy issue hits the stands nationwide.

And while her beauty is no secret, the battle that this former Apprentice candidate underwent to get here isn't as well known. As Lefebvre tells Marc Malkin of E!, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer after two years of infertility treatments resulted in two miscarriages. She underwent a radical hysterectomy about a year and a half ago.

"I ended up switching oncologists, because my first oncologist refused to let me harvest eggs before my surgery. So, I found a woman who understood my needs and said, 'Yes, it's a risk, but it's a well-considered risk, and if I were you, I'd absolutely do it.' So, we have 10 frozen little babies."

Kristine said she went through periods of questioning her womanhood, wondering whether or not she'd be able to please her husband again. But through it all, she wanted to inspire others.

"I want people who have gone through what I've gone through to realize they're still a whole person," the lovely lawyer said. "I hope there's one woman out there who has had breast cancer and is willing to go back into her lingerie drawer and pull out that lace bra - not to make her husband or her boyfriend feel good but to make herself feel good."

Granted, most people don't take the route that Kristine followed in order to heal.

"I went through the craziest path to sort of heal from this process: The Apprentice and then Playboy," she said. "It's not your normal course of therapy, but it ended up working."

Now cancer free, Lefebvre and her husband are looking to start a family.

"I will be using some of my Playboy money to get a surrogate so we can have our little frozen babies turn into the real thing."

Kristine Lefebvre nude photos are about to become a reality.

The former contestant on The Apprentice recently shot a pictorial for Playboy, as she tries to raise awareness for cervical cancer. It's an admirable cause for sure.

Now, a few days before her issue hits the stands, Kristine has updated her official site to talk about the experience of making like Holly Madison and baring it all for the public to ogle over ...

I have had a long standing professional relationship with the business people at Playboy. I have negotiated deal for a number of celebrities … After learning I was a contestant on The Apprentice Los Angeles, Marilyn Grabowski, the West Coast Editor, had suggested that Playboy do a pictorial on me.

It was a personal phone call from Hugh Hefner that made my decision easy … Mr. Hefner told me that he really hoped we were going to be able to work out an arrangement for me to appear in Playboy. That was all it took. I have so much respect for Mr. Hefner, he has truly created a piece of "Americana."

I loved my shoot. Steve Wayda is an amazing photographer and has a keen ability to capture the essence of a woman. Everyone at Playboy was wonderful and I hope you will enjoy the "great article" when the issue hits newsstands on Friday, May 4th.

Those at Reality TV Scoop look forward to it.

With apologies to Stefani Schaeffer, the winner of this year's Apprentice isn't the most talked about contestant this days.

That honor would fall to Kristine Lefebvre. Posing nude in Playboy will garner attention like that. But will the lawyer ditch her day job for the allure of naked photos on a permanent basis?

"I'm still and will continue to be a practicing attorney," she said to TV Guide. "I hope to use Apprentice and Playboy to put a face on cervical cancer. Now that there is a vaccine for it, it just seems that people should be aware of its ramifications."

Lefebvre, 37, a Los Angeles lawyer who has negotiated Playboy deals for stars such as Pamela Anderson, is a cervical cancer survivor. Fortunately, the NBC reality show helped her dea with post-illness depression.

"I'm in a state of elation now," Lefebvre says, "The Apprentice truly gave me my life back and I couldn't be happier."

It was only a year ago when Lefebvre was devastated by the hysterectomy she needed to treat her cancer â€" which took away her chance for a much-wanted biological child. Then, six weeks before she joined the show, an adoption she and husband Ludovic Lefebvre had hoped for fell through.

Looking back on the earliest Apprentice episodes, even Kristine was surprised to see how "sunken" she appeared.

Now, she and her husband have been approved for an adoption in China and she's hoping to use the Playboy money to finance a surrogate for the 10 frozen embryos she harvested before her surgery. We wish her nothing but the best in that endeavor.

Meanwhile, despite being fired by Donald Trump, Kristine and the billionaire "have a great relationship [of] mutual respect." And Trump agrees: "I think Playboy has very good taste."

She may have heard those ominous two words from Donald Trump, but Kristine Lefebvre is taking her recent firing in stride.

Naked stride, that is.

The lawyer will be heating up the pages of Playboy in its June issue, joining Holly Madison nude and plenty of other beautiful women decked out in their birthday suits.

The pictorial will be the latest in an impressive, eclectic life for Lefebvre. She became a licensed stockbroker to help pay for college, but was quickly turned off by the unethical behavior of others in the industry. From there, she ...

• Became the Director of Marketing for the Miami Hooters Arena League Football Team
• Attended law school in St. Paul, Minnesota and then transferred to Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL
• Modeled for the swimsuit edition of Inside Sports and spent the summer after law school posing for pictures in Milan, Italy
• Passed the bar exam on her first try and found a job as counsel for The Staples Center in Los Angeles
• Moved on to become Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs for sports and entertainment management firm, Management Plus Enterprises

Kristine is also a cancer survivor and will be posing in Playboy to support others with the disease. Sounds like her time on The Apprentice was merely a stepping stone for other, exciting opportunities.

We wish her the best.
