SPEAKING OF BONDS: EX-MISTRESS TO POSE FOR PLAYBOY


Barry Bonds’s former longtime girlfriend, Kimberly Bell, will appear nude in the November issue of Playboy, a spokeswoman for the magazine said yesterday in a telephone interview. The issue is expected to reach newsstands Oct. 1, right as baseball’s postseason is beginning.

Bell’s agent, David Hans Schmidt, said that in addition to the photographs would be an article detailing her “personal and sexual relationship” with Bonds.

Bonds is under investigation for charges he perjured himself in 2003 when he said he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs. The federal government is also looking into tax evasion charges.

Bell, who said she dated Bonds from 1994 to 2003, is one of at least two key witnesses to testify in front of an earlier grand jury about Bonds.
