The Newsroom star Olivia Munn insists that the famous girlie magazine celebrates women. And this is where we went: "Really!?!"

Right, so as part of a midweek shocker, Olivia Munn (yes the one armed with a double PhD in Economics and zero social skills in Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom) revealed to Metro.co.uk that she believed Playboy to be a magazine that celebrated women.

The Newsroom star, who is of Chinese descent and has German-Irish genes, said that she hated the way she looked when she was a kid as no one in the magazine or TV looked like her and she felt great doing the shoot for Playboy.

33-year-old Munn, who appeared in the men's magazine in 2009, told Metro.co.uk that she wanted to help encourage people other than blue-eyed, blonde-haired, tall, thin people to feel good about themselves.

Munn added that she actually felt bad for the magazine readers as she didn't bare her clothes in the photos, where she was clad in a bathing suit in the cover as well as the pic inside.

Kim Kardashian has expressed the desire to pose naked for Playboy magazine, following the birth of her daughter, North West.

In an upcoming episode of Keeping with the Kardashians, which was filmed prior to the birth of North West, the new mum can seen admitting that as soon as she gives birth, she would like to do Playboy or some nude shoot, Contactmusic reported.

The reality TV star previously posed for the mag in 2007, but slammed the publication for posting the snaps online in 2010, once she found fame.

Earlier, Kim had claimed that she longed to do the Playboy shot because unlike her childhood, where she always looked to please her parents, she had full right over the decision to feature naked in the mag.

Kim had added that the pics from the shot will always be with her.
