Actress Lindsay Lohan's Playboy issue, which was to come out in January, is going to be released early after the nude pictures were leaked online, said the magazine's owner Hugh Hefner.

Pictures of Lohan came online this week, revealing the starlet covering her modesty by a bright red Playboy bunny chair, reported TMZ online.

"Because of the interest and the internet leak, we're releasing the Lindsay Lohan issue early. Lindsay Lohan was the top search name on the internet yesterday. Hot Hot Hot," Hefner tweeted.

The issue will now be released next week. Lohan, who was reportedly paid USD 1 million for the spread was also seen in the leaked pictures flirting with the camera, and stretching herself over red velvet, paying homage to late screen icon Marylin Monroe.

Lohan was sentenced to 35 days house arrest in May over an alleged theft of a USD 2,500 necklace from a jewellery shop.

She also spent five hours in prison last month for breaching probation on the previous drug and drink driving offence in 2007.
