There's a rumor going around that Gossip Girl star Blake Lively is considering posing for Playboy for the right price. We don't believe it, but that's the rumor.

The National Enquirer, which first reported it, says the 22-year-old wants to shed her teenybopper image and make a big splash. That sure would do it.

Moreover, she named the price of Blake Lively nude: $2.5 million.

“Playboy had already been calling her. She figures a Playboy spread now will really give her career some heat," a source claims, noting that she is conflicted.

Blake’s reps deny that the starlet wants to pose naked, but the source insists it’s part of her plan to break away from her Gossip Girl image once and for all.

“She doesn’t want to get lumped in with the Jonas Brothers!” added the source. “This would distance her from 'tween fans and put her in the adult world.”

Yeah. We wouldn't hold our breath ... sadly, for some male fans!

Would Playboy be a bad career move for Blake?
