Since 1999, Mr. Skin has been the world’s #1 resource for celebrity nudity from movies and TV. Now, to celebrate those 10 years, Mr. Skin is counting down the 100 Greatest Celebrity Nude Scenes of All Time.
So what made the list and why?
First, each scene had to come from a movie or TV show—no paparazzi shots or homemade sex tapes. Other factors included:
Star power of the naked celeb
Quality of nudity (i.e., what gets shown, how long it lasts)
Overall impact on popular culture and skinema history
One movie per actress (for often–nude stars, we chose their one all–time best scene)
One scene per movie (in a film that contains many nude scenes, we picked the best)

(0:57) Taunting ex-lover Vince Vaughn in his own living room, Jennifer nakedly struts past him, making sure to point her world-famous posterior right at him (and us too!).
Although Jennifer flashes a bit of tit in The Good Girl (2002) in The Break-Up, Jen gave the crack up.
See the full-screen DVD of The Break-Up for the best rear view of Jen. The widescreen edition cuts off some vital cheek footage.
“There's something liberating about walking around completely nude," Jennifer said. "I am comfortable being naked.”
(1:21) Chloë drops to crotch level in front of Vincent Gallo, orally expressing deeply penetrating passion in a manner that’s way more than a mouthful. Their love is hardcore!
Chloë’s open-mouth acceptance of Gallo’s pole is the most sexually explicit act ever in a commercial film with a mainstream Hollywood actress.
The Brown Bunny ignited controversy when Roger Ebert proclaimed it the worst film he had ever seen.
Before Bunny, Chloë worked mainly in obscure and independent films. She has since scored a lead role on HBO’s Big Love.
Lizzy gets hopped up on vampire blood and rides the wooden stake of her boyfriend. Together they trip on pure sexual ecstasy, with her all-points nudity providing the headiest rush of all.
On True Blood, Lizzy follows in the boob-prints of series star Anna Paquin.
Lizzy played Sara on Freaks and Geeks. She then hit the big screen in Mean Girls (2004) and Cloverfield (2008).
With 1st and Ten, The Hitchhiker, and Dream On, HBO established nudity as a key ingredient. True Blood richly builds upon this tradition.
(1:41) After submitting to his kinky sex domination throughout the movie, Maggie eases back in a bath as James Spader lovingly washes every inch of her full-frontal form.
Secretary instantly made Maggie a household name.
Maggie undergoes more nude manhandling in Strip Search (2004).
Of Secretary, Maggie said: “It is about sex, and there's a lot of sex in it, sex is the key.”
#45 Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly nude in Bound (1996)
(0:19) Gina and Jennifer come together (literally) in naked lesbian embrace—grinding, kissing, and fingering, breast to breast, in a moment of electrifyingly credible Sapphic bliss.
Bound was Gina Gershon’s follow-up to Showgirls (1995) and Jennifer Tilly’s first lesbian sex moment (on film, at least).
TV and radio promos for Bound sold the film's “girl-girl action.”
Bound enabled co-creators Andy and Larry Wachowski to film The Matrix (1999).
(2:17) While arguing with Matthew Modine, Julianne wears a long white shirt that, fantastically, is not quite long enough to cover her luscious red muff. She also turns several times to show off her pinchably pink tush.
Pants-down, this is the greatest bottomless-only scene in all of cinema.
Julianne’s repeated revelation runs an astonishing two and a half minutes.
Short Cuts director Robert Altman's other celebrity-skin-packed films include Ready to Wear (1994) and Dr. T and the Women (2000).
(0:03) Floating in zero gravity amidst the opening credits, Jane reveals her out-of-this-world body while donning a spacesuit.
A star of Jane Fonda's caliber appearing nude in a major motion picture was unprecedented.
Jane was married to Barbarella director Roger Vadim.
In the 2006 memoir Prisoner of X, former Hustler editor Allan MacDonell claims he saw a sex tape involving Jane, her ex-husband Ted Turner, and another woman.
As Charlotte disrobes for a shower, a lucky youngster walks into the bathroom, getting a glorious gander at her butt and boobs. Talk about a morning eye-opener!
If Charlotte’s nakedness here were to appear in a big-screen release, it would be rated R. Obviously this is the greatest nude scene to ever air on network TV.
Fittingly, the title of this episode is “Nude Awakening.”
Charlotte’s exposure provoked a $1.4 million fine from the FCC, five years after it aired.
(1:27) Voodoo vixen Lisa seduces Mickey Rourke on a rickety bed, with her stiff nipples in full view and chicken blood sprinkling down on their pounding bodies.
The Cosby Show made Lisa a star. But Bill Cosby was so rattled by Angel Heart he spun Lisa off into her own sitcom, A Different World.
Angel Heart initially earned an X rating.
Director Alan Parker also oversaw the all-star nakedness of Lara Flynn Boyle, Bridget Fonda, and Camryn Manheim in The Road to Wellville (1994).
I wanted to (un)ddress the Jennifer Aniston controversy.
Two words: Star Power. One of the most famous women in the world with two of the most famous butt-cheeks in the world finally goes bottomless - that's a scene well worth celebrating! And way high up on the list, too!
I know the quality of the nudity ranked low, but the overall impact on popular culture and skinema history was through the roof. That nude scene is STILL one of the most searched at our site.
It seems ironic though, because Mr. Skin's Web site doesn't even HAVE those topless pictures of Jennifer Aniston from "The Break-Up." I'm wondering though if her naked knockers was in conjunction with her naked butt and they merged together in the same scene, or if it was from a different section of the movie altogether. I guess the world may never know. What baffles me is, if they kept her butt in the movie and cut out her breasts, why? What was wrong with having her breasts added to the deleted sections of the DVD? Or did Aniston decide that she wanted those shots destroyed? Well, it didn't work, because you can still find them on the Internet.
Okay, so I know this has nothing to do with the list of Greatest Nude Scenes, but I'll throw it in anyway. Here's a link to a picture of some SIDE BOOB of Hayden Panettiere from "I Love You, Beth Cooper." Does anybody at Skin Central wanna confirm if it's real or not? I got it via Egotastic.com. Check it out. Sorry, but it's not too clear:

You got a good eye then Count. That's the only good quality picture I could find of that scene too and I haven't noticed any nipple patch yet. I wish there was an unfuzzy one out there somewhere.
It's her, but our Skin Scouts who checked the movie out before it hit theaters felt she was probably wearing flesh colored nip patches. It's tough to tell in the theater because it happened so quick. We will know for sure when we can frame-by-frame it.
Yeah, it's best to wait for the movie to hit DVD, then you can peruse that scene as much as you need until we know for sure what we're actually seeing, if anything. It's still a side boob though, even if there IS no nipple to be had. That's the one major problem with tracking nude scenes in theaters. Scenes rush by you like a freight train and you sit there looking at one another and mumbling, "Was that a nipple I just saw? Did you see that? Did you see a nipple? I think I saw a tit. I can't be sure though. Damn. Did any of you guys catch that?"
Hve u guys missed the Tariji Henson p#%&& shot from the movie I can do bad by myself...shes in bed and theres a quik scene where she opens her legs as she sits up i think......u can see the landing strip.....
Lizzy Caplan is SO damn gorgeous with an absolutely smokin' bod. In my eyes (and between my thighs), her nude scenes in True Blood are some of the most "uplifting" any show on cable has ever produced.
If you had told me that during season 1 of that series the lovely, but heretofore skingy, Anna Paq was finally going to show us her raq and it WASN'T going to be the highlight of the year, I'd have thought you were crazy. But the perfect pert pair of Miss Caplan managed to supercede even the debut of Sookie's comely cookies...and that's sayin' sumpin' right there.
Maggie Gyllenhaal, you have got to be kidding me she should be banned for life! Worst face in Hollywood,and bad tits to go along with them, makes you want to vomit just looking at her!
