Tara Block — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:10:20 PDT

Last night on Conan, Joel McHale dished on what it was like to film his naked pool-playing scene on Community. Joel got emotional talking about the revealing shoot, especially when discussing wearing the very flimsy "dance belt" in lieu of underwear. In fact, he added that his castmates' shocked reactions to his leg lift didn't require any acting. Watch the funny clip now!

Lena Dunham on Sex Scenes: "I'm Being Poked by Somebody's Weird Penis in a Bag"

Tara Block — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:50:00 PDT

Lena Dunham isn't afraid to open up about her revealing sex scenes on Girls, the new Judd Apatow-produced HBO show she writes, directs, and stars in. And she didn't hold back last night when she chatted with Chelsea Handler about her show. Even Chelsea, who's usually pretty shameless, tried to find a polite way to describe the "toochy" or "rear-end" sex that occurs in the premiere episode. Something that Lena explained was quite uncomfortable, adding, "I'm being poked by somebody's weird penis in a bag." She also admits that she's naked so much on set, her bare body parts have no effect on the crew. Watch two of our favorite funny ladies chat about sex scenes and nudity now!

When Did You Know It Was Time to Cover Up?

Rebecca M Gruber — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 09:16:35 PDT

You never know what goes on behind closed doors, though in some families those doors are always open - and so are their buttons and flies. While American society has a reputation for covering up, especially in front of the kids, in some homes it's perfectly natural to let it all hang out in the open. That is, until an incident, conversation, or birthday sends mom and dad heading for some cover.

Over the weekend, the subject of family nudity was debated in The New York Times when a mother of two boys, ages 8 and 12, asked if it was time to start hiding the family jewels. Aviva Rubin wrote:

That ease with one another's nudity is part of the depth of my connection to them - something closed doors don't offer. I know it has to change, but when? In my childhood home no private parts were actively on display, so no moment ever came when they had to be hidden away.

Our readers have been very vocal about whether parents should be naked in front of the kids. Now we want to know what actually sent you for cover - was it the birth of your child, some pointing and laughing, or just a feeling that it was time?

"Should I Take Nude Pics With My Boyfriend?"

Tres Community — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 03:05:00 PST

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

Me and my boyfriend have been together for many years now and have decided that "saucy" images could be something to liven up our sex life. Obviously I trust him with the images, as I've sent them before. But I don't want to just jump into it, and I was wondering how shall I go about it with images/videos. I don't want to look like a "slut" or something because you never know who ends up looking at your partner's phone. I was just wondering on how I should go about it, thanks.

The Naked Truth: Sexy Stars Open Up About Nudity

Tara Block — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 08:18:40 PST

Is it hot in here, or is it just all the onscreen naked bodies heating things up? Wanderlust is out today, and its stars Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston haven't been shy about discussing all the nudity in the movie. But the slapstick faux penises in the comedy don't compare to the most-talked about "member" of award season, the one belonging to Michael Fassbender in Shame. (Even George Clooney complimented Michael on his package.) We also saw a new wave of female nudity in the last year with both Kirsten Dunst and Elizabeth Olsen going topless in nonsexual ways onscreen. And we're about to get an eyeful of stripper man candy in the upcoming flick Magic Mike! So let's hear from the stars themselves on their revealing experiences with nudity: from stripping onscreen to naked husbands to leaked nude photos.

Get Naked: Naturally or Never?

TresSugar — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:31:42 PST

Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd join a nudist colony in their new movie Wanderlust, out Friday. But while the movie portrays the group's naked members as young, sexual hippies, real nudist groups are full of baby boomers. As we see with Jennifer and Paul's characters in the trailer, younger generations may have some trepidations about taking it all off in a group of people. I'd wager none of us are never nudes, but we all have our limits. Maybe skinny-dipping is cool while walking around a locker room is not. So tell us: when does getting naked come naturally and when will it never come?

Scarlett Has Lighthearted Attitude About Nude Pics

Tara Block — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:15:34 PST

As we've already seen, Scarlett Johansson has handled her nude photo scandal with refreshing confidence, being unapologetic about sending the pics to her then-husband Ryan Reynolds. So it's no surprise that she had a great attitude and sense of humor about the debacle on last night's Late Show With David Letterman. But she was straightforward about feeling violated by the hacker, who is facing 121 years in prison for hacking into the email accounts of 50 celebrities. Now watch Scarlett open up about the leaked nude photos and her conspiracy theory regarding the hacker.

Pakistani Star Suing Mag For Photoshopping Her Clothes Off

Tara Block — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:00:00 PST

Nude covers may not shock us in the States, but when it's an actress from a conservative Islamic country taking it all off it's a different story. The cover model under fire, Pakistani star Veena Malik, says she didn't pose nude for FHM India, and she's filed a $2 million lawsuit against the magazine for making her appear that way in its December issue.

The suit states that Veena posed topless, but never fully nude, and that the magazine's doctored shoot has damaged her reputation. But I'm wondering if it would have been any less controversial had Veena been topless. After all, for the conservative Muslims who are angered over the spread (including her father, who stated he's "disowned" Veena), wouldn't any female nudity be unacceptable?

Photoshopping someone nude against their wishes would be a new low for a magazine, but FHM's editor claims there is video proof that she actually was nude during the photo shoot. Even if Veena had decided to strip completely, it would have been her prerogative. She's already proven that she's willing to push boundaries when it comes to women's rights and sexuality. She's talked openly against Pakistan's poor treatment of women, and she stood up for herself when she was called out for "shaming" her country for her love interest on Indian reality TV show Big Boss earlier last year.

The Full Picture: Actors Who Have Bared All

Annie Scudder — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 11:50:32 PST

It seems that male nudity makes both women and men uncomfortable, but we barely bat an eyelash when we see naked women in films. And it's no wonder we're desensitized to female nudity, it's practically a regular occurrence on the big screen, while we rarely get a chance to squirm in our seats at the sight of an undressed man. But there's no gender discrimination in the upcoming flick Shame, which showcases Michael Fassbender wearing nothing but a smile several times as he strips down to play a sex addict.

Here are some other male actors who are doing their part to stop the bias against male nudity by showing off, well, their parts! These 10 mainstream actors have gone full-frontal on the big screen. You might find a few movies to add to your Netflix queue.

Scarlett Johansson Responds to Nude Photos With Confidence

Annie Scudder — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:20:07 PDT

In the December issue of Vanity Fair, Scarlett Johansson bares all about her recently leaked nude photos. The actress wants you to know there's nothing all that scandalous about the photos, but if there were, that would be OK too.

Scarlett said she was simply sending the shots to her then-husband, Ryan Reynolds, explaining, "They were sent to my husband. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno. Although there’s nothing wrong with that either." Scarlett continued on her sex-positive defense, commenting on the poses she strikes in the pictures, saying, "I know my best angles."

The man, who hacked into Scarlett's email, as well as the accounts of 50 other celebrities, has subsequently been arrested. He now faces 121 years in prison. What do you make of Scarlett's response?
