(Newser) – Kate Gosselin is "proud" of her post-plastic-surgery body, but she won't take her bikini off for Playboy, the New York Daily News reports. The "mortified" mother of eight, who's fighting an ever-nastier divorce battle with hubby Jon, reportedly threw away a letter from Hugh Hefner offering her $400,000 to bare it all. A source says Kate, who was baffled by the offer, "didn't think it was appropriate because of the children."

Good move by her...I didnt think she had that much respect left for herself and her kids but I was wrong and I am glad to be wrong.

I'd like to see her naked. Just cover her hideous face.

$400,000? Her only question should be: Where do I sign?
