It's “Hard to Handle(r)!”

Last night on Leno, catty chatty comedienne Chelsea Handler was surprised with a giant poster of her posing on the front cover of Playboy’s December issue.

“Why are you bringing that up?” Chelsea asked defensively when host Jay Leno asked if she posed nude in the magazine’s pages.

While she was hesitant to discuss the issue and won’t reveal whether she’s naked inside the magazine, Chelsea did tell Jay that, “my dad is probably going to love it because he thinks I’m very sexual.”

He’s not the only one!

Back in April, Chelsea joined the once topless Eliza Dushku and Padma Lakshmi in posing nude for Allure. Sadly, it was what’s euphemistically referred to as “strategic nudity,” so we don’t see Eliza’s top two, Padma’s lotus, or Chelsea can-dlers,

Once bitten, twice shy, Chelsea.
