Toni Braxton Enjoys the Attentions of a Playboy -- Potent Quotables

"I was really flattered ... When you have lupus or any ailment like that, you feel really yucky and there are episodes on the [reality TV] show where I'm really chunky because I'm full of steroids ... but when they called and said, 'We would love for you to do Playboy...' I felt great about it." -- Toni Braxton.

R&B singer and 'Braxton Family Values' star Toni Braxton reacts to her most recent offer to bare it all for Playboy magazine on the Wendy Williams Show. The 43-year-old star was diagnosed with heart disease in 2008 and announced in 2010 that she also suffers from lupus. Apparently the nude shoot offer reminded Toni that she is still a knock-out.

In case you're wondering ... Braxton turned down the offer.

I. too, have been diagnosed since 1994 with SLE, plus many other dx's. Toni, I don't get flu, pneumonia or
flu shots because when I received them, I always got sick and constantly got pneumonia and pluerisy.
I try to stay away from a lot of things to keep me welll. Stay out of the sun and florescent lights. You must also be aware that if you fly, shut the window shades and wear a mask. I am on a lot of vitamins. There is a new drug to treat SLE, but I'm afraid to take them because I have other medical problems too.
I am not on it because I'm afraid because I react differently that other's. Go the lupus sites.
