Toni Braxton is hoping to cash in big for flaunting her best assets.

The 43-year-old singer, who estimated she was between $10 million and $50 million in debt when she filed for bankruptcy in October, is mulling an offer from Playboy to pose for the iconic men's magazine.

"New Year, New opportunities. So I have been considering taking up Playboy's offer to feature me on their cover this year. What you think?" Braxton asked her Twitter followers Tuesday. "I would love to pose with Hugh Hefner though. He's the sexiest guy I know over 30."

Braxton did not specify how much Playboy offered her to appear on its cover.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
