'We want to try IVF. it's asking a lot, but if it's possible, it would make our package complete.'

The Red Sonja actress, who was married to Sylvester Stallone in the 1980s, decided to undergo surgery to improve her already striking looks after leaving rehab last year.

'I had it done in Germany because they try to stick to your natural look. In America, no disrespect to the plastic surgeons - everyone comes out looking the same.'

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant is so pleased with her new, improved look, she is planning to show off her figure for Playboy magazine.
