LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – PHOTOS. Vienna Girardi confirms Playboy pictures will drop this year. Vienna Girardi’s Playboy pictures spread, pics Girardi says will hope pay her bills, will be released later in 2010.

Girardi makes the picture revelation in the latest issue in the Star. Following the recent breakup between Girardi and Jake Pavelka, the two have been slamming each other in press. The Bachelor Pavelka has called Vienna obsessed with fame while Girardi has accused Jake of being lackluster in another department.

Vienna tells the Star “I am going to be on the cover of Playboy later this year. The Bachelor didn’t pay me a dime, and I ran through my savings living with Jake. I need the money.”

Just days ago, the couple confirmed their breakup.  “Jake and Vienna have split and appreciate respect for their privacy at this time.” Privacy? That didn’t last for a heartbeat with both turning to tabloids to slam each other’s shortcomings.

Notable lines from the couple’s “engagement” were: “The rings almost made it more confusing.” “I’m trying to let my heart lead, but it’s leading me to both women.”

The question remains … how this would have played out had Jake chosen Tenley. Tenley said to viewers after her loss on the show: “I don’t think he knows what he wants.” Tenley told Jake about his decision that he made a mistake: “Thank you for making me feel special” “I don’t know what you think is missing. But thank you for showing me what I could have.”
