Lindsay Lohan is shooting nude photos for Playboy -- TMZ has confirmed -- and LiLo don't strip for peanuts ... the spread will earn her almost a million dollars!

Sources tell us the deal has been in the works for months, and that Lindsay balked at an initial $750K offer because she wanted ... ONE MILLION dollars ... to show the world what her momma gave her (apologies for the DiLo reference).

We're told Hugh Hefner and Co. recently came back to Lindsay with an offer less than her asking price -- but close enough for her to sign on the dotted line. No word yet on which issue Linds will be featured in ... but it's a good bet she'll be on the cover.

Lindsay's rep said, "I can neither confirm or deny at this time." Playboy didn't immediately respond to our email or phone call. 

According to sources, the shoot started over the weekend -- which means Linds was juggling her court ordered morgue duties ... with getting nekkid.

Sweet, sweet multi-tasking.

Leave it to the Warlock to cash in on Halloween -- TMZ has learned, the actor has partnered with a massive costume chain to sell Charlie Sheen-themed accoutrements just for All Hallows' Eve ... and they're selling out like crazy.

Sources close to Sheen tell TMZ, Spirit Halloween stores hammered out a deal with both Charlie and Live Nation to obtain all necessary Sheen licenses -- but wouldn't specify on the actor's cut.

People at several stores tell us the mask is an especially hot item -- with several locations currently awaiting new shipments to fill outstanding orders.

No word on sales numbers for the Ashton Kutcher costume.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon debuted their newborn twins, Moroccan and Monroe, last night on "20/20" -- and immediately following the show, released 15 personal photos of the adorable tots.
