LONDON: Basketball star Dennis Rodman has upset Cosmopolitan magazine bosses by asking for money for a cancer charity photo shoot. Rodman was asked to do a risqué centrefold in aid of Everyman Campaign to raise money for research into testicular and prostate cancer but he demanded $13,500 for it, contactmusic.com said.

A Cosmopolitan source said: “We approached him about posing for us as part of the Everyman Campaign and he said he would be happy to do so. But there was a snag — he was demanding $13,500 for his trouble. So he was told in no uncertain terms he would not be required. Some celebrities just do not understand the meaning of charity.”
