LHHA star, Karlie Redd, may have only revealed her semi-nude body in the Chris Rock film, Top Five, but all that will change when she starts posing fully nude for Playboy. The reality star is preparing for the Playboy shoot by getting her teeth fixed to have a smile that matches her body.

The reality star is more than excited to pose nude for Playboy Plus, the online men's magazine. A source close to Redd tells Page Six "everything she's doing now is for the Playboy shoot." One of those things is undergoing cosmetic dentistry. The site reveals that the 37-year-old mother of one not only whitened her teeth but added "porcelain crowns and fillings" put in by Dr. Brian Kvitko of Columbus, Ohio.

Although the LHHA star bared some, but not all of her body parts in Top Five, she says she was terrified to take it all off for the Playboy test shoot. In an earlier September article with Page Six she revealed, "I was very nervous for two reasons: One, it's Playboy, and two, there were extra cameras because the reality show was filming."

Redd has also been partaking in the growingly popular Flat Tummy Tea in preparation for Playboy.

Doing a Playboy shoot isn't necessarily in line with the acting roles that Redd has been pursuing (and those she hoped her role on the VH1 reality show would grant her) but at least she wasn't declined this gig as she was with Tyler Perry.

Madame Noire reported in July that Redd had auditioned for a role in a Perry production and was told she would not get hired because of her affiliation with LHHA.

"I went for a role for a Tyler Perry film and they shot me down because I was on 'Love and Hip Hop," she explained. "They said that to me. There's been roles that I auditioned for and then they found out...literally I'm on my way to set to work, got the role and everything and then they find out I'm on the show and then they're like, 'Uh, no.'"
