Fresh off of the news of her deal for a new Bravo reality TV series, “Braxton Family Values,” word on the tweets is Toni Braxton is considering posing for Playboy.

Yesterday the singer tweeted that she wants to freshen things up for the New Year and may accept the venerable skin rag’s offer to grace its cover.

Lately, things haven’t been too sweet for the 43-year-old crooner. Braxton recently filed for bankruptcy, again, and is said to be in debt for anywhere between $10 to $50 million. Yes, $50 million! So perhaps this new “opportunity” is just another way to pay down some debt, get back in the black, and keep her name in the media.

If the thought of Ms. Braxton stripping down and cozying up to old man Heff has you clutching your pearls, relax. The mother of two said that if she decided to go through with the shoot, it would be “tastefully done” and she wouldn’t be completely nude, she’d just be showing “a lil T and A.”

Although I won’t throw shade on Toni’s possible decision to pose for Playboy, this does make me wonder when music became less about the ballads and more about the booty (peace to Keri Hilson).
