The world was abuzz a few weeks ago when wholesome animated housewife Marge Simpson graced the cover of Playboy magazine.
But according to Foxnews.com’s Pop Tarts, Simpson wasn’t the only beauty to grace the cover of the famed men’s magazine, as she shared the honor with supermodel Alina Puscau.
Puscau, who is the girlfriend of “X-Men” director Brett Ratner, said she had no problem sharing the cover with the wife of Homer Simpson.
“I was so excited to hear that I would be sharing the cover of Playboy with Marge Simpson. She is much more famous than I am so I suspected she would get all the attention.”

Lily Cole, the supermodel, has launched a campaign to save one billion trees in the Amazon rainforest. The Cambridge University student, 21, was in Kew Gardens, south west London, to promote the Sky Rainforest Rescue campaign, a project aimed at preserving more than three million hectares of trees in Acre, north west Brazil.
The three-year scheme, run by broadcaster Sky with the conservation body WWF, working with the state government of Acre, aims to provide economic incentives for local communities to preserve the rainforest. Almost all – 90 per cent – of the region is covered by dense tropical and bamboo forest and is home to species including jaguars, pink river dolphins, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys and giant otters.
Sky and WWF have called for donations to the campaign with every ?10 helping to save 500 trees.
The broadcaster said it would match donations to the campaign pound for pound, up to a joint target of ?4 million to get the project under way.
”It’s hard to appreciate the importance of the rainforest because it seems so far away but it’s vital to the survival of the planet as we know it,” Cole said.
”The destruction of the rainforest is having a huge impact on our climate and on the millions of animal and plant species and the millions of people who live there.
”It’s important we act now, so help make a difference by donating just ?10 and help save 500 trees.”

With her multi-million pound fortune, heiress Paris Hilton can afford to treat herself whenever she likes.
But it seems the party girl loves a bargain as much as anyone else.
With sister Nicky she managed to fill the boot of her large SUV yesterday – with bargains from a closing down sale.
With a new-season Chanel handbag casually slung over her arm, Paris gave the store on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood her full attention.
The blonde selected skirts, dresses, jeans and accessories, even taking the trouble to look at the odd price tag.
Perhaps she has felt the effects of the recession on her bank balance.
If she has, it certainly hasn’t affected her lifestyle.
In Fearne Cotton’s new documentary series she visits Paris at her opulent Hollywood mansion.
She gives Fearne a tour around her vast colour-coded wardrobes, her secret passage ways and her own very private nightclub.
The mansion even has its own miniature replica house complete with chandeliers, air-conditioning and furniture, for her dogs Prada, Dolce and Marilyn Monroe.
She said: ‘They’re very spoilt.’
The show sees the socialite claim her baby voice and ‘airhead’ image is all an act.
She said: ‘I would do the baby voice and it’s kind of like this character I made up, but in real life I’m completely different, I’m very down to earth, I’m smart, I know what’s going on.’
Explaining her alter-ego, she said: ‘It’s kind of like I almost play to the image and kind of have a laugh at myself about it.
‘I think a lot of people will assume that I’m just like an airhead. But in my everyday life, when I’m hanging out with my friends or if I’m in a business meeting I’ll talk in my normal voice.’
