Nelly Furtado turned down $500,000 to pose for Playboy magazine, but refuses to rule out a potential photo session with the men's magazine.


Nelly Furtado has recently made a comeback to the charts with a raunchy new image, but insists she's not ready to show off her body just yet.


She told Mtv:

I (was) offered half a million dollars to pose fully clothed.

(To do it would be a) vanity thing, an egotistical thing. It's not to say that I would never do it. It's intriguing, it's very tempting. It's got to be under the right terms. We will see what happens.

The Black Eyed Peas swept the board at the American Music Awards last night.


The Black Eyed Peas were named Favorite Group twice, in the rap/hip-hop and soul/rhythm and blues categories. They also won Favorite Album in the rap/hip-hop section for 'Monkey Business'.


Although the Black Eyed Peas were not present at the event, which was held at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium, they thanked their fans via a video link "for keeping hip-hop progressive and pushing it forward".


Other big winners at the ceremony - presented by surprise presenter Britney Spears - included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were named Favorite Alternative Artist in the adult contemporary category and Favorite Band in the pop/rock category.
