Have You Seen Chelsea's Clothes Lately?

Comedian, talk show host, and emerging gay rights advocate Chelsea Handler graces the cover of December's Playboy.

The boozy blond doesn't disrobe completely, but she does wear a skimpy bikini on the cover of the men's magazine. On Wednesday's Jay Leno Show, Handler told Leno she quit drinking for "like a day and a half" to get her body in shape for the cover. "We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back," she said to Leno.

The sharp-tongued Handler -- host of the E! Network's Chelsea Lately -- has shown herself to be committed to gay rights as of late: She filmed a video against California's Proposition 8 and hosted events for Out magazine and the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center.
