Melissa Rycroft offered $500,000 to pose nude

Jason Mesnick who? Zap2It.com is reporting that Hugh Hefner is offering spurned Bachelor contestant Melissa Rycroft $500,000 to pose for Playboy.

Rycroft, who has been shaking her stuff on Dancing With the Stars, received the details of Hef’s proposition in a letter – and the Playboy founder asked her to dinner at his mansion to discuss the potential photo shoot.

"Hef really wants Melissa to do a pictorial because she's the ultimate girl next door," a source told Star Magazine. "He thinks she has it all: beauty, brains and spunk. And it doesn't hurt that she has a terrific figure."

So will she or won’t she? Sources say she won’t … for now, at least. Rycroft’s contract with ABC forbids the former Dallas Cowboy cheerleader from doffing her clothes while she’s still on Dancing With the Stars – and three months after this season ends.

Rycroft is paired with pro dancer Tony Dovolani on the celebrity reality contest, which airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET and Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on CTV/ABC.
