Say, how do we ever know a star’s “nude scene” isn’t really a body double?
Clémence Poésy, who played Fleur Delacour in the last Harry Potter film, has appeared nude.
That question seems, well, silly. Obviously if it’s a full-body shot, in which both the body and the face are in the frame, it’s really the star. Or if it’s someone whose done so many nude scenes that they don’t have any reason to give a flip anymore. I recall an Esquire interview from a few years back in which Sharon Stone was having a massage or a steam bath or some other nude activity when the reporter arrived and was utterly nonplused. "Anybody with seven bucks can see my naked ass,’ she said.
Not with the technology they’ve got now!

Well, that’s certainly helpful to know. I haven’t seen the last HP film, but this is added incentive…although when I put in “Clémence Poésy nude”, Google comes up with no results.
I remember that the reason that I first rented “Kill Bill Vol. I” was because Chiaki Kuriyama was in it (who had posed nude when she was younger, thus making me a fan of her work). She played “Go-Go Yubari”, the personal bodyguard of O-ren Ishii (played by Lucy Liu). I was so impressed by the films that I bought the set.
It was the first Tarantino film I’d ever seen, but not the first Carradine work, or the first Thurman work. It’s still one of my favorite films (or pair of) ever.
Should we really be ashamed of this attraction to nudity, or is that shame a natural result of our prudish society’s blind condemnation of it? As a human, I think that condemning nudity is more pathological than embracing it. After all, according to the Bible (the text that most nude-haters use to justify themselves–in my experience), we were created in God’s image and were naked and not ashamed.
I’m all for that (not trying to drag this to Great Debates, but still…).
I should probably shut up now.
If there were no shame attached, how could nudity be exciting? 
Drop the word “nude”, turn off Safe Search, and you’ll see her goblets of fire on the first page. Yer welcome.
She hasn’t done a full frontal but she has bared her boobs and ass on film already.
I’m surprised Gellar is doing it. My guess is she’s talking it up to generate publicity but won’t follow through. There have been similar stories about Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Natalie Portman supposedly doing nude scenes for upcoming movies that never actually showed up on screen.
I’m going to guess Jessica Alba. Of all the actresses on the verge who haven’t already gone naked, she’s the one who hasn’t had a breakout role and who seems the “hungriest” to me.
Truly, this poster speaks the truth.
My humble thanks…and you weren’t kidding!
“Goblets of Fire”…oh, yeah!
Well (since I was asked, and again: not to drag this into GD), I don’t think the excitement comes from the shame. I think it comes from the forbiddance.
The shame (I think) is pathological, because there does not seem to be any rational reason for it (however prevelant it may be).
The forbiddance, on the other hand, is a limitation of nudity’s expression, which provokes said expression beyond said limits as a means of achieving a thrill.
The idea of Jessica Alba as “hungry” makes me want to be food.
I believe that even if Portman hasn’t actually undressed for a role, she has been caught naked sufficient enough times in public so that we know we’re not in for any surprises. (And I believe she showed bush in Garden State.)
Again, Dunst has been caught suffering from a swimsuit mishap in public. Nothing much to see there either, really.
On the Olsen twins …
They’ll do it for the attention.

Pretty please?
Since you asked nicely…go to sliceoftheday.com, and add kirsten_dunst to the end of the url. Scroll down to “nude.”
You’re welcome.
Sorry. Something about her makes it hard to put my tongue all the way in my mouth…
I reckon you and I are just gonna have to agree to disagree. Yowza.
Alba got a lot of buzz for her “Sin City” role but the more recent one where she showed her (bikini clad – not even a thong!) butt to such good effect struck me as a real B-movie dog of a film. You may have a point – she’s got a terrific face, but I don’t know if she’s got acting chops to match. Might have to put the whole package on the line, so to speak.
You know, I’ve seen that movie a few times now, and I can’t recall a scene where that would have even been possible. You’re gonna have to refresh my memory.
Although, if you say there’s a blurry dark spot underwater in the pool scene, I may have to stalk you for the teasing.
Say, has Julia Stiles ever bared it?
Nope. Very revealing garb in The Business of Strangers, though, which view suggested that her ultimate decision to bare it will not be unwelcome.
But not yet.
