Katy Perry: I'd Rather 'Tease' Than Pose Nude

Katy Perry isn't shy about showing some skin – just don't expect her to bare all.

"I like to play [the sexy] card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," Perry says in the December issue of British Cosmopolitan. "I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style."

Being married to Russell Brand is what, Perry says, makes her feel unconditionally sexy.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately," she explains. "I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what."

Adds Perry, "I guess it's a mixture of, 'Hey, I'm 26, and I know these are my prime years and I feel confident,' and being loved-up."

Kendra: "Skype" Saving Long-Distance Marriage

Kendra Wilkinson says technology is helping her long-distance marriage to Hank Baskett.

Baskett, 28, was recently traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Minnesota Vikings. Though she wanted to join him in the Midwest, he told her it was best if she and baby Hank - who turns 1 next month - lived in L.A., where most of their friends and family reside.

To keep the romance alive, "We take advantage of Skype, texting," she said on the Today show Thursday, adding that they also use Apple's FaceTime, which allows them to have face-to-face video calls. "We have all that."

"It's actually a blessing in disguise," Wilkinson, 25, went on. "We get a chance to know each other all over again and communicate."

The only downfall: With her husband away, she said, "I'm doing kind of everything by myself."

Wilkinson wanted to reiterate to fans, "I love my married life. We're not separated."

In fact, she tells the new Us Weekly (now on newsstands) that they even want another baby! "We're talking about having No. 2," she tells Us.

One thing she is still on-the-fence about: Posing again for Playboy.

On the season premiere of E!'s Kendra Sunday, she receives a call from her agent asking her to strip down. She nervously asks her husband for permission but ends up turning down the offer.

Asked on the Today show if she's changed her mind, she said, "I'm leaning more on no. I'm 25, I'm still young, I'm still hot. But I'm like, 'Do I need to do Playboy again to be hot in the public eye?'"

Kendra Wilkinson Turns Down Playboy

Life & Style has learned that Kendra Wilkinson has rejected an offer to grace the cover of Playboy. "She's not worried about her husband, Hank [Baskett], or offending people," an insider tells Life & Style. "She just wants to lose more weight before doing it." The shoot wouldn't even require Kendra to bare all, but she still balked. "If and when she's ready to do it again, she will," says the insider. "But not right now."

Kendra's first pictorial in Playboy was in 2005 with co-stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt and was taped for season one of The Girls Next Door.
