22-year-old Jayde Nicole, from Ontario, Canada, has been named Playboy’s 2008 Playmate of the Year.

Nicole is Canada’s first Playmate of the Year since 1982. Shannon Tweed, aka Gene Simmons‘ baby mama, was the last Canadian to be given the title.

Nicole owns a modeling agency called Jayde Nicole Inc. that she founded in 2005. She managed the day-to-day operations of the agency before catching Playboy’s eye and landing the title of Miss January 2007.

On Playboy’s website, she says her turn-ons are “intelligence, honesty, politeness, hopeless romantics and someone who is really into music. And nice eyes help.”

Her turn-offs include: “Liars, rude people, arrogance, people who are fake, bad hygiene and anyone who is mean to animals.”

Hugh Hefner has said that Miley Cyrus is welcome to pose in Playboy when she turns 18, so who knows…Miley might be Playmate of the Year come 2011!
