After having lunch with Jill and LuAnn at Nichols, I decided that I was going to tell them about Playboy. If they were going to be my real friends, then I was going to throw them an olive branch and tell them things like real friends do. I couldn't contain myself and I had to get it off my chest. LuAnn, Jill, my agent, and ex husband were the only ones who knew. I was bringing them into my inner circle. I asked them to sit down with me, so I could tell them about the March issue of Playboy. Both Jill and LuAnn were supportive and that conveyed a lot to me. Trust is a huge issue. I don't know these women well. I want to be real. I don't want to act like I am on a bad soap opera or be the gossip Google alert, we already have one on the show. I just want to have fun and nurture solid friendships. You'll see.
