Playboy

No wonder this chick's so teed off -- TMZ has obtained video of model Liz Dickson taking that golf club to her ass at a Playboy event ... and it's gnarly as hell.

TMZ broke the story ... Dickson is suing Playboy for more than $500,000, claiming she was badly injured at a Playboy golf tournament in L.A. back in 2012 -- after she was asked to lie on her stomach with a tee between her butt cheeks ... while comedian Kevin Klein took a golf swing.

The video is crazy -- but the photo tells the real story.

In addition to the massive welt, Liz Dickson's attorney tells us, the model damaged her hip ligaments and nerves as a result of the accident. He also says she's incurred more than $33,000 in medical bills so far ... and still feels numbness and tingling in her right leg.

A hot chick is suing Playboy and a golfer for coming up with a cockamamie stunt -- placing a golf tee in her butt and then trying to drive a ball off of it. It didn't end well.

Liz Dickson claims in her lawsuit she was at an L.A. area golf course back in March, 2012 for a Playboy tournament, when she was instructed to lie on her stomach and pose for a photo with comedian and radio host Kevin Klein.

Dickson says a golf tee was placed between her butt cheeks and a golf ball was balanced on the top of the tee. Klein then took a whack, but his swing sucked and he whacked her in the ass.

Dickson claims she suffered severe injuries, some of which are permanent. We're assuming the tee was removed.

There's NOTHING wrong with whores ... so says Kendra Wilkinson -- who claims the United States should STOP arresting people for prostitution when it involves two consenting adults.

The former Playboy model was wading her way through LAX with hubby Hank Baskett Thursday evening ... when she explained why the laws against hooking are just plain stupid.

For the record, there are parts of the U.S. where one could legally purchase sex ... but it's clear, Kendra believes ALL AMERICANS (of age) should be able to pay for ass.

Playboy playmate Cassandra Lynn had indulged in large amounts of cocaine and booze before she was found dead in a bathtub ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Sources familiar with the investigation tell us ... Cassandra had flown to L.A. on January 14 and was the guest of a celebrity photographer. We're told Cassandra complained when she landed she was not feeling well.

The photog took her to a fitting and then a photo shoot in the afternoon and she continued to complain she wasn't feeling right.

Sources say they went to the photog's home in the early evening and partied. According to our sources ... the photog told law enforcement they had sex and did large amounts of coke and guzzled lots of champagne.

Their party ended at around 11 PM.

We're told at some point early the next morning the photog woke up, went to the bathroom and saw water running onto the floor. He then discovered Cassandra in the bathtub, pulled her out and attempted in vain to resuscitate her.

Playboy Playmate Cassandra Lynn was found dead in her friend's L.A. home Wednesday ... and police are investigating the death as a possible overdose, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told Lynn's friend found her floating in a bath tub. The friend then called police, reporting a possible OD. When paramedics arrived they could not revive her. Foul play is not suspected.

Lynn -- Miss February 2006 -- was 34.

Cassandra was pretty active on Twitter ... her last real tweet was three days ago.

Her Twitter updated automatically with her horoscope ... her latest reads: "Unspoken obligations prevent you from doing what you wish today ... No matter what you do now, you might not feel completely fulfilled. Working harder isn't the answer, but neither is escape." Eerie.

Hugh Hefner's gonna be pissed ... 'cause "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jessica Chastain tells TMZ she's totally down to get naked in front of a camera ... but it will NEVER be for Playboy.

The Golden Globe winner was leaving the Brentwood Country Mart yesterday when we congratulated her on locking up the cover of Vogue -- and Jessica told us for her next shoot, she's hoping to do something a little more "risque.'"

Awesome.

So, naturally, we brought up Playboy ... but Jess shot that down hard -- saying, "I'll be naked in other magazines but not Playboy."

For the record, Chastain's not just talking the talk -- she's been naked in a couple of movies before "ZDT" ... including "Lawless" and "Jolene" ... the latter of which happens to be available on Netflix.

Chazz Palminteri's also in "Jolene" ... but don't worry -- he's totally clothed.

Ex-Playboy Playmate Colleen Shannon better look good in orange -- she's been sentenced to 4 months behind bars for smuggling a foreigner into the country ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Shannon was arrested in Aug. 2012 for trying to sneak her boyfriend, Robert Skojo, across the Canadian border. She was charged with transporting an alien.

Shannon, who was Playboy's 50th anniversary centerfold, must pay a $5,000 fine ... in addition to the prison stint.

39-year-old Kate Moss isn't holding back before her big Playboy spread in January, removing her bikini top on the beach in Jamaica yesterday -- and she doesn't look half bad.

FYI, Moss will be gracing the cover of Playboy's 60th anniversary issue ... the same month she turns 40.

Jamaican us crazy.

If a woman can read "Fifty Shades of Grey" in public ... then a man should able to peruse a "Playboy" wherever he wants, so says famed author Anne Rice who tells TMZ she supports PORN EQUALITY!

Anne is a literary titan -- penning the books behind "Interview with the Vampire" and "Queen of the Damned" -- and she's also big into erotica.

Idris dropped the bomb while talking to Playboy this week -- and said he was forced to watch an episode or two during screenings ... but never once by choice.

Don't worry Stringer fans ... Idris doesn't have anything against the show, he just claims it's too hard to watch because he's critical of his own work.

Mark Salling doesn't buy that State Farm is like a good neighbor .... he's suing the insurance company, claiming its refusal to cover him against sexual battery allegations is "despicable" and "malicious."

TMZ broke the story ... Salling was sued by a woman who claims on one occasion when she was dating the "Glee" star ... she insisted that he wear a condom during sex but he refused and forcibly had unprotected sex. The woman -- a former Playboy model -- claims she went to his house later that month to demand proof that he was STD-free, and he responded by pushing her to the ground.

Salling claims in his lawsuit the State Farm homeowner's policy requires the company to foot his legal and other bills connected with his defense, but State Farm has repeatedly refused.

Although there's no mention as to why State Farm won't cover Salling, we're guessing the insurance company is hanging its hat on a provision that excludes criminal acts from its coverage.

NFL star Brandon Marshall is about to blow your mind -- 'cause it's not every day you meet a wine, yoga and Pilates lovin' football star!

We caught up with the Chicago Bears' wide receiver at the Playboy Mansion -- probably not the best time to remind him training camp starts in 9 days, but we did ... and his response was awesomely honest.

"It sucks. Right now ... you got stuff like Espys and Playboy parties. Now you gotta go to camp, you gotta go to a dormitory for a month?"

Brandon also revealed he and Jennifer Aniston have more in common than we would have ever thought -- you gotta see him light up talking about his love of Pilates, yoga ... and fine wine.

Chris Brown didn't let the threat of 4 years in the big house get in the way of a big night out in Hollywood Monday ... because Chris partied like a rap star at the Playboy Mansion.

Brown -- whose probation was revoked Monday afternoon in the Rihanna beating case -- mugs with 2 cute chicks at a charity event to celebrate the MLB All-Star game.

Chris hung with Snoop Lion and L.A. Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig (fast becoming a Hollywood party animal).

Lindsay Lohan's guts don't come cheap, because we found out she's spilling them to Oprah at a cost of around $2 million.

Sources close to Lindsay tell us ... The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) has been negotiating with Lindsay for 4 months. The plan -- an 8-part docu-series about Lindsay's struggles, her career and her plans for the future -- but we're guessing it's mostly about her struggles.

It's a better deal for Lindsay than just taking her top off. For that ... Playboy paid her a measly $1 mil.

Ironically ... Lindsay's latest rehab stint may have scored her more cash, because of the drama and interest created around almost going to jail, firing her lawyer, going to Betty Ford, bailing from Betty Ford ... and on and on.

Sources tell us ... Lindsay actually signed the deal at Betty Ford.

Lindsay got some perks from Oprah as well -- as in TWO fully-paid assistants and a stylist.

Substance abuse can pay handsomely -- Who knew?

Hey, we interviewed Lindsay for free -- check it out!

INTERGALACTIC EXCLUSIVE: TMZ has learned, "Teen Mom" porn star Farrah Abraham will be living out every young girl's fantasy to model nude for Playboy magazine!!! Just kidding, Playboy rejected her sorry ass.

Sources tell us, the star of "Backdoor Teen Mom" reached out to the men's magazine following her sex tape release about appearing fully nude in an upcoming issue ... one of her lifelong dreams.

But the mag said no way, ho-se.

That didn't stop Farrah from trying one more time though -- we're told she reached out again last month ... and the magazine shot back with a SECOND NO, saying they just didn't have enough room for her.

Makes sense ... her new boobs are pretty damn big.

Looking like a cross between Coco, Anna Nicole Smith, and two young girls who just got their hair braided on a cheesy summer vacation, Playboy's famous twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon resurfaced in L.A. recently ... or at least their tanned asses did.
