Rachel Uchitel Playboy Spread Nixed By Tiger

Rachel Uchitel was all set to pose for Playboy until Tiger Woods pulled the plug on the deal, according to reports. Hey, she's still getting paid for it in a way.

Here's how it supposedly went down: Playboy wanted to feature the pilgrim of Tiger Woods mistresses on the cover, with a direct mention of the golf great.

Publishers even floated the idea of Rachel Uchitel nude alongside a tiger cub. The "VIP hostess" agreed to this, and was to be paid upwards of $300,000.

Tiger Woods' legal team was far from pleased with this concept.

"It put Rachel in significant danger of losing the millions of dollars Tiger paid her," a source said. "They refused to give [Uchitel] complete control of the cover so that she could make sure Tiger wasn't mentioned" as per their settlement.

She chose not to push it and risk her $10M settlement from Tiger. Probably wise.

Had Uchitel gone forward with the shoot, she was to appear "totally naked except her pubic area," the source added, noting that the would have "shown bare breasts and backside nudity" while "completely nude" in some situations.

Alas, like an Elin Nordegren tell-all, 't not to be. Damn confidentiality agreements. (thehollywoodgossip.)

Rachel Uchitel: Coming to Celebrity Apprentice?

Rachel Uchitel is an attractive, alleged nightclub hostess in her mid-30s famous for having affairs with married stars David Boreanaz and Tiger Woods.

It that's Celebrity Apprentice material, that is?

Donald Trump wants in on the action with Tiger's #1 mistress, offering her a spot on the next season of Celebrity Apprentice, The Donald told TMZ.

A longtime friend of Tiger's, Trump personally called Rachel Uchitel about three weeks ago and offered her the spot, telling her she'd be "awesome."

The billionaire is not just throwing that out there for kicks, either. Uchitel was asked if she was going to take the offer, and she said, "Absolutely."

YOU'RE HIRED! Donald Trump wants to bring Rachel Uchitel on board Celebrity Apprentice. In other news, Celebrity Apprentice is apparently still on the air.

NBC has the final say on Uchitel, but Donald usually gets his way, and NBC gave the green light to Rod Blagojevich, so the bar is set really low.

It would be funny to bring on Rachel, yet because she is bound by a confidentiality agreement, she'd be unable to breathe one word about Tiger.

What would her back story even be, then, as far as what airs on the program? That she sent these explicit text messages to David Boreanaz?

Here's hoping we get the chance to find out! The good news for Trump is that if she has a change of heart, there are some good backup plans.

Devon James would definitely do it.
