"The Hills" Star Regrets Having Posed Nude

Topless photos of Audrina Patridge surfaced on the Internet Tuesday, and the 22-year-old star of MTV's reality show, "The Hills," has confirmed their authenticity.

According to a report from TransWorldNews, Patridge told TMZ that she took the photos years ago and regrets it.

A Cautionary Tale

Interestingly, a similar scandal swirled around "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens last year. Fully nude photos of the 19-year-old Hudgens hit the net, and she also issued a statement of regret. This raises an obvious question: Is it a good idea for a young girl with dreams of fame and fortune to pose nude? Will she live to regret it? Here are 5 tips for a young girl to consider before deciding to pose nude.

5 Tips for a Young Girl to Consider Before Posing Nude

Do you want your nude pictures splashed all over the internet?

By posing nude, you run the risk of having your nude image plastered all over the Internet. If posing nude is something you decide to do, it behooves you to work out a contractual agreement with the photographer whereby you retain the rights to the photos. In short, retain control of your images.

Posing nude will not guarantee an offer from Playboy

Some girls pose nude with the expectation that doing so will lead to an offer from Playboy or Penthouse and perhaps eventually lead to being crowned Playmate or Pet of the year. Or they believe that it could lead to a modeling contract. Do you or does someone you know fit into this category? Well, the odds are not in your favor. The competition is fierce, and chances are you will be passed over.

Posing nude may jeopardize your chances of landing a conventional job
