If you're a Howard Stern fan, you're already familiar with 20-year-old Shannon James. The fresh-faced beauty from Holland, PA appeared on Stern's show after a friend submitted some pictures of her in a bikini and said she wanted to be a Playmate. Stern is no fool; he knows a good thing when he sees one. At first she had reservations about being on the show. "Sometimes they tear people apart," she says. "I was scared. But then they told me Playboy Senior Photo Editor Kevin Kuster was going to be there. I had to take a chance."

It paid off in spades. Everyone adored Shannon. "I mentioned I wanted to get my chest done," she says, "and Howard said not to, that I have perfect breasts." We couldn't agree more.
