From the article:
Amanda Beard thinks that posing nude in Playboy is about celebrating her healthy body. I'm really glad she cleared that up. Here I thought it was about prostituting herself.
In case you've forgotten, Beard was the adorable 14-year-old with the teddy bear who won a gold medal and two silvers at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. She won a bronze medal in Sydney in 2000. She won gold again and two more silver medals in Athens in 2004. She's considered one of the best athletes to ever wear the Team USA swimsuit, but I guess that's not enough for her. To feel really accomplished, she had to do the naked thing.
I think they get star struck and lose their way......
