Mr. Skin's Pick of the Week
Cabin Fever (2002)—Blu-ray
STUDIO: Lions Gate
NUDE: Janelle Perry (breasts, butt), Stephanie Swift (breasts), Cerina Vincent (breasts)
The low-budget horror hit Cabin Fever (2002), the directorial debut of Hostel (2005) mastermind Eli Roth, centers on a group of college students who head out to the woods for some of what kids do for relaxation. But instead of plenty of boozing and boffing, they soon start falling pery to a flesh-eating virus. Cerina Vincent instantly became a sex symbol for flaunting her massive mammaries, while Jordan Ladd kept her clothes on. But she created her own Hot Zone as a flaky young babe. Of course, that was before her skin started flaking off.
We're surprised that Aussie actress Anna Torv hasn't busted out (in celebrity status, that is) in the U.S. yet. Her show Fringe is a hit, but its viewership isn't exactly in the realm of American Idol, so she stays a bit under the radar. Plus, her stuffy suits on the show don't help.
But where Anna is busting out is the new issue of Esquire. And what's more, she even slipped in a hint that she might be going nude in the near future!
Get the details on where you might be able to see Anna Torv nude after the cut.

A Serious Man (2009)—Blu-ray
STUDIO: Universal
NUDE: Amy Landecker (FFN)
Set in the Minneapolis suburbs in 1967, Joel and Ethan Coen’s acclaimed 2009 comedy A Serious Man stars Michael Stuhlbarg as Larry Gopnik, a university professor who watches his life unravel. His wife (Sari Lennick) is preparing to leave him for his best friend (Sy Ableman) because his lazy brother (Richard Kind) won't move out of the house, while his children (Aaron Wolff and Jessica McManus) act in ways that confuse and disturb him. As Mrs. Samsky, Larry’s sexy neighbor who sunbathes in the nude in her backyard, Amy Landecker gets a serious tan with her lengthy full-frontal scene.
The Starz Series Continues to Deliver the Titz
We're three weeks into Spartacus: Blood and Sand, and already we've seen Lucy Lawless nude for the first time and great nudity from Viva Bianca and Erin Cummings. The third episode, "Legends", aired on Friday, and in addition to some uncredited nudity that even the Skin Labs couldn't identify, we saw Lawless getting majorly sexy with some deep cleavage and the nude debut of Lesley-Ann Brandt.
Lesley-Ann plays Lucy Lawless's slave, and Lucy's greatest demand of the dark beauty is to go tits out while modeling some jewelry. Now those are some beautiful accessories!

But Will Deschanel Go Deschanude?
Doe-eyed gamine Zooey Deschanel is more likely to be described as cute than sexy, but that might change with her next role. Deschanel is set to play Pamela Des Barres—who bedded some of the world's most famous rock stars, and tons of them—in a new show for HBO.
We like the fact that Zooey-as-Pamela will be on the network that's recently delivered scads of bare babes on shows like True Blood, Entourage, and Hung, but what are the prospects of Zooey giving us a showy?
Get the details on Deschanel's newest project after the cut.
The nominees for the 82nd annual Academy Awards were announced this morning, and we must admit, we're a bit disappointed. With the field for best picture expanded to ten films this year, we thought the race was destined to be packed with movie nudity. But to our surprise, only two of the ten movies nominated for best picture (A Serious Man and Up in the Air) contain female nudity. And one of them used a body double!
Last year, only five films were nominated, and still two featured bare actresses, with one (The Reader) containing some of the best nudity of Kate Winslet's very very nude career. (The other was Cate Blanchett's butt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.) So what went wrong in 2009? Did high cinema not contain enough cinemams? Or did the Academy overlook nudeworthy performances? Let us know what you think in the comments.
And after the cut, find out where to see current Oscar nominees nude in past appearances.

Virgin Territory (2007)—Blu-ray
STUDIO: Anchor Bay
NUDE: Elisabetta Canalis (breasts), Silvia Colloca (breasts, butt), Chiara Gensini (breasts, butt), Kate Groombridge (FFN, butt), Maimie McCoy (breasts)
Based on Boccaccio's fourteenth-century tome The Decameron, the romantic comedy Virgin Territory (2007) stars Hayden Christensen and Mischa Barton as young lovers Lorenzo de Lamberti and Pampinea. Against the backdrop of Italy during the Black Death, the two try to get through the complex web of obstacles keeping them apart. Although Mischa stays covered, we get to see skin from Elisabetta Canalis, Silvia Colloca, Chiara Gensini, Kate Groombridge, and Maimie McCoy.
A Round-up of the Weekend's Best TV T&A
We haven't expected much from Big Love this season, nudity wise. While season one brought us breasts from Chloë Sevigny and Rachel Avery, the two seasons since have been nearly skinless, with only a butt shot from Ginnifer Goodwin to keep us going. So last night's appearance by Amanda Seyfried's ass caught us off guard. We guess once you've had a taste of going boobs-out in the presence of Julianne Moore, it's hard to keep your clothes on, no matter the role.
Also heating up the small screen this weekend was Spartacus: Blood and Sand. Erin Cummings served up a second helping of breast meat, but the big story here is Lucy Lawless's nude debut. She showed right tit and tush in two separate scenes, and we hope this is just a taste of what the Xena babe has in store for the rest of the season. And with the show already being picked up for season two, it looks like we'll have plenty of chances to see Lucy Lawless nude in the years to come.
