In March of 1996, Jennifer Aniston was the friend that everyone wanted to get know better -- when she jumped in bed with "Rolling Stone," the actress showed viewers a side of her that hadn't been captured by the TV cameras. (Her backside, to be specific!) Thirteen years (and one public divorce) later, a 40-year-old Aniston got even more comfortable for the cameras when she graced the January 2009 cover of “GQ” wearing nothing but a patriotic necktie and a sexy smile. That's one way to say 40 and fabulous!

Long before her Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction,” Janet Jackson (“Miss Jackson if you’re nasty”) had a very hands-on experience with "Rolling Stone" in September 1993. The daring diva had just made her film debut in "Poetic Justice," and the much-talked-about topless shot (which was actually the un-cropped version of the photo that appeared on her album “Janet”) further established her sex-symbol status. Jackson was later asked on “The Graham Norton Show” whether the mysterious man behind her warmed up his hands before the shoot, and she replied, "I hope he washed them." We do, too!
In the Annie Leibovitz photo that launched a thousand imitations, a 28-year-old Demi Moore appeared naked and pregnant on "Vanity Fair's" iconic August cover. As it was the first of its kind, Moore's blatant display of nudity made the public blush and sent the media into a frenzy. "Annie had photographed me pregnant with all three (daughters),” the actress later told "V Magazine." “The shot that ended up being on the cover of "Vanity Fair" wasn't even done for the magazine. It was just for me and our family." Some called it art, some called it objectification, but one thing’s for sure: Demi definitely set the precedent for hot Hollywood mamas!
Just when we thought we’d already seen her get "dirrty" in a bikini top and leather chaps, Christina Aguilera stepped it up by stripping down for “Rolling Stone.” Sporting black hair extensions and a studded wrist cuff, the singer proved that she was officially done with her former good-girl image. These days, as a mother and coach on "The Voice," Aguilera still likes to show a little skin -- but she tends to cover up with more than just a guitar.
After a few revealing paparazzi shots surfaced, there wasn't much of Lindsay Lohan the public hadn't seen by 2008. But the starlet did nudity on her own terms for "New York" magazine's "Spring Fashion" issue, when she covered up with only a sheer scarf in homage to Marilyn Monroe's final photo shoot. Four years (and several court appearances) later, LiLo attempted to launch a comeback by undressing for another Monroe-inspired nude shoot. This time she posed for "Playboy," and according to a tweet from Hugh Hefner, her issue broke sales records for the magazine.
"To me, vampires are sex," "True Blood" creator Alan Ball told “Rolling Stone” in 2010. "I don't get a vampire story about abstinence.” And he's stayed true to his word by treating viewers to tons of steamy sex scenes on HBO’s salacious vampire saga. But even so, we never thought we’d see the day when Eric (Alexander Skarsgard), Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill (Stephen Moyer) would appear in such a bloody, beautiful embrace! Their undead three-way on the September 2, 2010, cover of "Rolling Stone" further solidified the sexiness of the supernatural.
What would Reverend Camden think? In 2000, 17-year-old Jessica Biel was best-known for her role as Mary Camden on the squeaky-clean series "7th Heaven." She shed both her clothes and her innocent-tomboy image in March of that year, donning only hotpants for “Gear”, who proclaimed her a “fallen angel.” The risque shoot enraged the show's producers, and Biel lived to regret it. "I wasn't happy with those pictures," the actress (who's now engaged to Justin Timberlake) told ”Entertainment Weekly” later. "I saw pictures that were different from the ones that ran in the magazine. I was shocked and my family was heartbroken."
If there's one way to sell magazines (and movie tickets!) it's by featuring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal naked together! Two days after the release of "Love and Other Drugs," the cozy costars appeared on one of "Entertainment Weekly's" sexiest covers. "There's an inherent discomfort in the moment where you have to take your clothes off in front of someone," Hathaway told iVillage about filming their steamy movie. "I mean, it's mortifying, when it's not organic and private." It may be uncomfortable, but we'd trade places with her any day!
Poison frontman Bret Michaelstold E! Online that he "didn’t eat for a day and did 2,000 sit-ups" to prepare for his naked "Billboard" cover in October 2010. Sporting only his signature bandana, Michaels appeared to be in prime condition -- though he was just months away from undergoing major heart surgery. While some accused "Billboard" of Photoshopping Michaels' chiseled abs, the shoot’s photographer insisted the rocker's muscles were all natural: "It's always easy for someone to cry 'Photoshop’...but he takes his shape seriously."
After bagging Brad Pitt, adopting three tots and giving birth to daughter Shiloh, Angelina Jolie got between the silk sheets with "Esquire" in July 2007. With her sultry shoot, the bad-girl-turned-humanitarian-mom proved that despite settling down, she was still no Mother Teresa. "I've always been perceived as kind of wild or bad or weird or crazy," Jolie told the magazine. "If you knew me privately, you might think I was even wilder than my reputation." A year later Jolie was pregnant with twins, but she's managed to keep her edgy side (and her killer figure!) intact ever since.
"Move over, Demi" proclaimed the April 1999 cover of "W." Cindy Crawford (who was seven-months pregnant with her first child with husband Rande Gerber) went completely bare -- including jewelry! -- for her shoot, striking a pose like only a supermodel could. But while most people thought she looked like one hot mama, Crawford wasn't feeling so sexy. "It's a miracle, yes," she said of her pregnancy. "But what can I say? I liked the way I looked in "Playboy" last year."
In 2007, Eva Mendes was widely known as the "token hot girl" with supporting roles in "A Night at the Roxbury," "Ghost Rider" and "Hitch." And the voluptuous actress, rocking only knee-high boots, played up her hotness for her steamy “Maxim” cover shoot. But in the accompanying interview Mendes (who's currently the lucky lady dating Ryan Gosling) insisted she had a softer side. "In real life I’m not tough," she said. "I'm more of a cuddle bug than a tough sex goddess. I may look like a bad girl, but I'm just built that way. I’m actually a good girl."
Serena Williams once confessed to struggling with her weight and body image, but she showed no signs of insecurity on "ESPN’s" first-ever ”Body Issue” in 2009. With a megawatt smile and bulging biceps, the totally ripped tennis ace was one of six athletes featured on the series of covers. While we’re avid fans of Williams' colorful on-court outfits, we commend the former world champ for baring it all and celebrating her athletic, curvaceous physique.
In an effort to extend his 15 minutes of fame, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy decided to let it all hang out for "Playgirl" in 2010. While Levi Johnston didn’t actually go full-frontal, we got a pretty good glimpse of the Alaskan hunter’s assets in the shower-centered pictorial. Before his issue hit newsstands, Johnston told ET: “We're going to do it tastefully, and I don't think it's going to be a bad thing." We don’t think egregious shots of his glistening abs are a bad thing at all!
Two milky-skinned, blonde starlets appeared nude alongside (fully clothed) designer Tom Ford on the cover of "Vanity Fair’s" "Hollywood Issue" in 2006. At the time, both Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley were actresses on the rise: Johansson having starred in "Lost in Translation" and Knightley gaining fame for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. Both women went completely bare, giving readers quite an eyeful -- but the shoot was originally meant to feature even more nudity. Ford (who directed the issue) reportedly stepped in as a substitute for star Rachel McAdams at the last minute. "She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable," he told “Good Morning America.” "And I didn’t want to make anybody feel uncomfortable."
