Yeah, at first glance, it’s makes you say, HUH?  No, not happening.  Eddie Cibrian isn’t posing in the magazine Playboy.  He’s going to be starring in a new NBC show, Playboy.

Eddie is actually replacing the first choice for the role, Jeff Hephner.  Shooting begins on Tuesday in Chicago.

The set will be at a Playboy Club in the midwestern city in 1963. Eddie will be playing, Nick Dalton, a lawyer and pretty much a total playboy.

LeAnn Rimes Going Overboard For Second Wedding

Hmmm, I wonder what sort of naughty scenes Eddie will be tangled up in.  Will LeAnn Rimes suffer from a monster case of jealousy while he’s filming?  After all, they cheated on their spouses to be together.  I think trust could be a real issue.
