Pop star Mariah Carey will appear on the March cover of Playboy in a skimpy flesh-colored bathing suit.

The We Belong Together singer poses for the men's magazine to accompany a feature on the "Sexiest Comeback" for which she provides answers to 20 "revealing" questions.

Media reports speculated the star would be making an appearance in Playboy and photos from the shoot were leaked online last week.

A spokesperson for Playboy has confirmed Carey will be featured on the cover of the magazine, which hits newsstands in the US on February 9.
