COVER STORY
Reality TV has brought us Survivor, The Bachelor and The Osbournes. For a healthy dose of the naked truth, don't miss Girl Next Door: The Search for a Playboy Centerfold. Join finalists Shallan Meiers, Christina Santiago and Lauren Anderson (left to right) on a casting call that makes the Osbournes look like Ozzie and
Harriet. Our Rabbit ties one on.
