We can understand his hesitation, but we're sure he's pretty grateful for making the choice that he did now!
Hugh Hefner recently opened up about Lindsay Lohan's nude pictorial in Playboy, and revealed that despite being unsure of whether or not he wanted to involve himself with her, given her, ahem, 'erratic' behavior, he's ultimately very happy with the way everything turned out!
He explains:
"It really came as a surprise to me. I kind of had mixed emotions about it initially, and then it turned into something bigger than life. I wasn't quite sure where she was at in her life, obviously. It depends on whether it's Tuesday or Thursday. The pictorial and the concept for the pictorial came from me. She had done semi-nudes before. I wanted to do something that would be memorable. So what is more natural, since she is a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, than do something that is a tribute to the red-velvet, Tom Kelley photo shot of Marilyn Monroe that was our very first Playmate? I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity. And I said, ‘We're doing a nude pictorial here. We're going to do it in a very classy way and we're going to do it in a way in which it will not be forgotten.' I think it was accomplished beyond anything I could have possibly imagined. People will not forget this pictorial. It became a stocking stuffer!"
Ha! Everyone knows that the true testament to success is making it as a stocking stuffer!

Ah-ha! A culprit!
Playboy magazine was forced to release its special Lindsay Lohan issue early in light of her nude photos being leaked onto the internet, and apparently, it's because the spread was hacked or stolen and uploaded to a file-sharing website in Russia, called Worldmags.net, and the individual responsible for finding them claims that he had to download over 200 files, each containing one page of the magazine, and had to manually reassemble it to build a digital copy of the publication!
According to the anonymous user, this is something he does when he "has the time," and he himself is unsure who posted the original files!
He explains:

Oh that's right…she didn't JUST pose nude for Playboy! She also chatted it up with them!
During Lindsay Lohan's recent interview with the adult magazine, she opened up about sex, and had the following to say about the steamy subject:

We have to hand it to her - she's taking directions very well these days!
Lindsay Lohan's Playboy photos have already leaked onto the net, so the actress decided to use the opportunity to get out of the spotlight for a few days by vacationing to Hawaii with her sister Ali!

Here comes the damage control!
Guess they didn't want that $1 million paycheck they handed her to go to waste!
Lindsay Lohan's much-anticipated nude photo spread in the upcoming issue of Playboy found itself on-line yesterday, forcing the head honchos at the gentlemen's magazine to salvage the mess by cashing in on the publicity its garnering - and release the issue early!
According to Hugh Hefner

But of course!
Did anyone really expect Lindsay Lohan to pose for Playboy and NOT recreate the Marilyn Monroe spread?!
The NSFW photos from the actress' spread in the gentlemen's magazine have hit the night, and, we'll hand it to her - regardless of who she thinks she's trying to emulate, she does look nice!
$1 million paycheck and no shot of her, ahem, 'lovebug?! Lame!
