Your first look at the Girls Gone Wild magazine — if you can call it that. The publication, retailing for $9.99 and hitting newsstands on April 15, features no outside advertisers and boasts only 14 pages cover to cover. How wild can it be?

Riveting content like “The Search for the Wildest Bar” and “The Insane Life of a Girls Gone Wild Camera Man” is run opposite plugs for the scandalous DVDs. Creator Joe Francis doesn’t need those pesky sponsor pages!

Circulation, however, is necessary to get the book in the grubby hands of Wild consumers, and industry insiders are suspicious of whether Joe can move copies of the mag.

“You need an entire publishing infrastructure,” an expert tells us, “someone to put it on a truck and take it to 7-Eleven.”

Joe is known to get excitable over different ventures in branding, and might not have the right hold on the operation, though sources say he has been making decisions from inside his Reno, Nev., jail cell.

“Joe does stuff like this,” the spy said, “but if you’re going to do something, do it right.”

Attempts to be legit were indeed made: Staff reached out to publicists to try to get some stars on the pages of GGW. The only ones to bite? Kim Kardashian and sisters, who posed in Ashley Paige bathing suits designed specifically for the spring-break romping beauties.

So far, the mag is presumed to be quarterly (the first issue is marked spring 2008), lest circulation skyrocket. Then again, that might not happen until Joe can drive the truck to 7-Eleven himself.
