The troubled actress - who was last week told she had to clean morgues for 16 hours a week as part of a court order until a probation hearing on November 2 - will reportedly earn almost $1 million for baring all in the adult magazine.

According to TMZ.com, the 25-year-old star originally turned down a $750,000 offer from Playboy boss Hugh Hefner to pose nude, demanding that the figure should be closer to $1 million.

It is believed the shoot started over the weekend, with Lindsay - who could face up to 18 months in prison if she is found guilty of violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) conviction - having to fit it in around her court-ordered morgue duties.

However, this isn`t the first time the star has posed naked.

In 2008, the `Mean Girls` actress stripped off to recreate the infamous `Last Sitting` shots of Marilyn Monroe, taken by photographer Bert Stern just six weeks before she died of a drugs overdose, with Lindsay admitting at the time she was "comfortable" with nudity.

She said: "I didn`t have to put much thought into it. Working with Bert Stern on a Marilyn Monroe shoot was really an honour. When is that ever going to come up again?

"I wanted to portray the look and get it point-on as much as I could, to bring it back to life. I was comfortable with it, the nudity and everything."
