Hottest Hollywood Women Swimsuit Photos

Here’s some photos of the Hottest Hollywood Women in swimsuits, for those of us who spent Spring Break — stuck indoors.

Way better than a postcard, right?

JESSICA ALBA
Into the Blue - 2005

The film’s title is an obvious reference to the ocean, into which Alba and on-screen beau Paul Walker dive in search of sunken treasure. But in our humble opinion, it is Jessica’s sexy blue bikini that gives new meaning to the term “treasure chest.”

URSULA ANDRESS
Dr. No - 1962

You have to feel sorry for most Bond girls (except one … see next slide). After Honey Rider arose onto the shore (collecting seashells, naturally), in the first 007 adventure, her successors didn’t stand a chance. That’s a big pair of shoes — er, perfect-fitting swimsuit — to fill.

HALLE BERRY
Die Another Day - 2002

Sorry, Ursula. We know Halle’s emergence from the ocean in a bright orange bikini (accessorized with a very handy Bowie knife) is an obvious nod to your ‘Dr. No’ intro, but while we appreciate your hotness, Berry may just be the fairest Bond girl of them all.

KATE BOSWORTH
Blue Crush - 2002

In her star-making turn as a Hawaii surf bum, Bosworth proves a hot bikini isn’t just for soaking up sun. The Boz runs, surfs and jet-skis in it, and even wears it as underwear beneath her maid uniform (um, hot). Honestly, why does she even own other clothes?

PHOEBE CATES
Fast Times at Ridgemont High - 1984

“The topless scene in ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’ was funny, which made it easy,” Cates has been quoted as saying about her iconic poolside scene. She’s right. In fact, it’s so hilarious we can’t stop watching it. Over and over and over again.

BO DEREK
10 - 1979

Dudley Moore knows the score. Sure, he had Julie Andrews at his side (a solid 6 … maybe even a 7 in ‘Sound of Music’) in this Blake Edwards comedy, but what can you say? The man’s a perfectionist. His dream girl Derek is a bona fide 11.

CAMERON DIAZ
Charlies Angels Full Throttle - 2003

Cam may go all gaga over the sight of fallen Angel Demi Moore in a bikini, but it’s a safe bet Demi was impressed with what she saw, too. Diaz plus a hot little white bikini equals pure heaven.

ELIZABETH HURLEY
Bedazzled - 2000

Not long after a shagadelic outing in ‘Austin Powers,’ Hurley tortured Brendan Fraser’s hapless stiff as the Devil. But really, who could resist a demon so delectable? Consider our soul sold. (Why doesn’t Hurley make movies anymore again?)

ANGELINA JOLIE
Laura Croft: Tomb Raider - 2001

With a body like Jolie’s, you’d think she’d wear a swimsuit more often in movies. Sadly (NOT!), she’s frequently gone topless instead. Still, Mrs. Brangelina did throw men a bone by donning this hot little number in ‘Tomb Raider,’ all in the name of butt-kicking action, of course.

EVA MENDES
Stuck on You - 2003

The Matt Damon-Greg Kinnear comedy about conjoined twins offered up about as many laughs as a separation surgery, but we’re not sure anyone noticed. Many viewers were too consumed with the red-hot Mendes — and an entirely different set of twins.

Vote for the top 6.

Top 10 Nude Movie Scenes of All Time

The editors at Maxim have waded through the footage and nominated 10 Earth-Shattering Nude Scenes 2006.

10. Diora Baird in Wedding Crashers
It was kind of a “blink and you missed it” moment, but we’re betting there were a lot of dry eyes in the house when Diora flopped down topless on a bed during the “wedding sluts” montage. You remember her, she was the one with assets big enough to satisfy as many Wilson brothers as the movie was willing to throw at her.

9. Ali Larter in Varsity Blues
While not technically nude, Ali and her strategically-placed whipped cream instantly became the stuff of legend and dessert-based fetishes. Of course, leave it to Dawson’s Creek to fumble the play—dude, you’ll never get such a golden opportunity to offer a girl a banana for her split again. Way to go, forehead.

8. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights
Reason #4,562 why hanging out with Burt Reynolds rules: With the wave of a finger, he can make Heather Graham slip out of everything but her rollerskates and mount you on a fine Corinthian leather sofa. That’s class! And Heather’s anything but shy about showing the goods, which is why we love her.

7. Kathy Bates in About Schmidt
Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson buck naked in a Jacuzzi. Now, if this were 1968…actually, it’d still be pretty gross. Yes, we’re kidding. Consider this a palate-cleanser before we move on to #6. We didn’t want you getting all hot and bothered at work. All set? Good. Let’s move on… [Editor's note: Disgusting. Photo omitted.]

6. Reese Witherspoon in Twilight
OK, this isn’t exactly a comedic romp and, honestly, the only thing notable about this movie is Reese’s topless scene. And the only thing notable about Reese’s topless scene is that, well, this is it, fellas. She’s a Serious Actress™ now, so she won’t be flaunting the sweater puppies ever again. Grab the opportunity while you can.

5. Denise Richards in Wild Things
Neve Campbell can keep her no-nudity clause, because even she couldn’t dampen our appreciation of Wild Things’ champagne-drenched threesome. Richards had no problem getting down and dirty, which is why we’re still talking about her today. Campbell? Not so much. And before you say Wild Things isn’t a comedy, we defy you to watch it without laughing.

4. Rebecca de Mornay in Risky Business
She was way too much woman for a high school kid to handle—especially a high school-aged Tom Cruise—but her full-frontal nude scene made a man out of every guy who was of appropriate age in 1983, and you know who you are. Not to mention Rebecca also made prostitution cool long before Julia Roberts.

3. The Pi Delta Pi Girls in Revenge of the Nerds
Yes, every last one of you. When the nerds get the brilliant idea to hook up surveillance cameras in the Pi sorority house, we’re treated to a parade of naked, perky extras. This one went for quality and quantity, and scored on both counts. And let’s just say Takashi wasn’t the only one who learned what “hair pie” meant.

2. Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The standard against which teen movie nudity is measured. It may not be the most graphic or revealing, but it had all the key elements: A hot young actress you’ve been dying to see topless (erm, Phoebe), a completely gratuitous set-up (Judge Reinhold’s masturbatory day dream), and a hilarious pay-off (she walks in on him mid-jerk). It’s bulletproof, and it’s a classic.

1. Shannon Elizabeth in American Pie
A question for the ladies: If you find yourself in a teenage boy’s bedroom and he happens to leave the room for a second, do you immediately take off all your clothes and admire yourself in his mirror? No? Exactly. That’s why Nadia changed the way we look at movie nude scenes. And that’s why you aren’t Shannon Elizabeth. Well, that and probably some other things, too.

Now, you might have noticed, with the exception of the Ali Larter photo, none of those above actually depict the nude scene in question. Well, it is Maxim, you know.

Gone Hollywood goes above the call, though, and searches out the images in question. They’re thumbnailed below the fold. Merry Christmas.

Do Nude Photo Layouts Help Celebrity Careers?

Steve Ryfle wonders whether being pictured nude in magazines can help an actress’ career.

There’s nothing like a little exposed skin to boost a starlet’s public profile. Plaster a titillating image of her nude frame on the cover a glossy monthly, and she’s instantly grabbed the attention of millions. When 20-year-old Scottish diva Keira Knightley and 21-year-old Scarlett Johansson stripped and strategically struck PG-13 poses for the cover of the March issue of Vanity Fair, the press types deemed it a risky and risqu? move (one British tab called the pic “shocking and provocative”). But it’s nothing new: from Marilyn to Madonna and beyond, lots of actresses have flashed a little flesh in mainstream mags as a way of upping their, ahem, visibility.

If you’ve been perusing the newsracks in recent years, you may have noticed Rachel Weisz, she of the “Mummy” movies fame, clad only in a boa constrictor for the April 2004 cover of Esquire. You may have been nonplussed by the sight of a topless Paris Hilton (covering her assets, of course) on the October 2005 cover of Vanity Fair. Sharon Stone graced the cover of December 1999’s Esquire in the buff, while in 2003, Britney Spears went pantless for Esquire and topless for Elle. And if you got past the cover of the Knightley-Johansson issue of Vanity Fair, you’d have found a photo inside of Angelina Jolie, reclining nude in a bath tub. In May 2003, all three Dixie Chicks dropped their drawers for the front of Entertainment Weekly.

Yes, it’s legal eye candy for adolescent boys of all ages, but other than a momentary blip on the tabloid radar, do stars reap any long-term benefit by baring it all?

“Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson can only benefit from their recent unclothed appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair,” says Mr. Skin, otherwise known as James McBride, a movie nudity expert who runs MrSkin.com and author of “Mr. Skin’s Skincyclopedia.” “After all, here we are talking about them. Both Keira and Scarlett, although they’re young, are established Hollywood stars and this blast of bare flesh is going to propel them upward into the next echelon of fame. That cover is being, well, covered all over the world, and it will be collected, fussed over and looked back on fondly for decades to come. As to which woman will benefit more, well Scarlett actually shows more skin in the photo.”

In another column, Ryfle considers the issue of celebrities getting naked for the silver screen.

In this day and age, few celebrities are shy about baring it all onscreen. So when bashful Natalie Portman asked director Mike Nichols to cut her nude scenes from the upcoming flick “Closer,” it was newsworthy. Portman — for now, at least — is that rare star who chooses to keep herself under wraps, while much of Hollywood, male and female, is dropping its drawers.

Almost every actress currently on the A-list has done a nude scene or two. Some of them did it a few years before becoming mega-famous, like Reese Witherspoon (”Twilight”) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (”The Mask of Zorro”). A few actresses used an attention-grabbing nude scene to help catapult their careers — witness Halle Berry (”Monster’s Ball”) and Kate Winslet (”Titanic”) — while others have continued taking it all off long after their star status was cemented, like Angelina Jolie (”Taking Lives”) and Nicole Kidman (”Cold Mountain,” among others). And then there was Meg Ryan, trying to rekindle her career by letting it all hang out (”In The Cut”).

“Halle Berry proved that one could garner high accolades while getting down and dirty with her naked sex scenes in ‘Monster’s Ball’,” says Mr. Skin, otherwise known as James McBride, a movie nudity expert who runs MrSkin.com and author of an upcoming book, “Mr. Skin’s Skincyclopedia.”

[...]

What are the benchmarks by which all nude scenes are measured? McBride says the first on-camera nudity by a major celebrity occurs in the “Ecstasy” (1932), in which Hedy Lamarr skinny-dips “and her chest is clearly visible,” he says. Another historic scene, he says, is the wet-dream sequence in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” when Phoebe Cates takes off her bikini top. “In my skin-pinion, all previous celebrity nude scenes led to that moment and its greatness looms permanently over all that have come since.”
