With a naked photoshoot coming up Indian model Padma Lakshmi could have been forgiven for putting herself on a strict diet.But the 38-year-old, who is author Salman Rushdie's ex, had no such concerns.'I think I look better when I have a little bit of weight on - my breasts are fuller, and I’m curvier than when I’m at my thinnest,' she tells this month's edition of U.S. magazine Allure.

Padma was one of five models to strip for the shoot, which was entitled The Naked Truth.She said she didn't feel worried about stripping off, and just 'exercised an extra bit,' in preparation.'I tend to sleep in the nude,' she revealed. 'When I'm in my own personal space, I do spend time with very little on.'I didn’t feel any more naked without my robe. I don’t have any stigma attached to my body.'

Padma's shoot revealed a seven-inch scar on her right arm - the vestige of a car accident when she was 14.'This is my favourite part of my body,' she said. 'I love it because it makes me a person who has an interesting past, and it reminds me that I can survive any pain.'While Padma is stripping for her art, her ex-husband recently went public with his new love, American actress Pia Glenn.

It seems with age comes confidence for Hollywood star Sandra Bullock.For most of her career the actress has kept her clothes on for movie roles that have seen her play a string of prim - if a little geeky - characters such as Miss Congeniality.But now, aged 44, she has appeared in her first nude scenes in her new film The proposal.

Bullock joked that that she'll be stripping for more roles following the romantic comedy's runaway succes.The Proposal, due for release in the UK on July 22, debuted at the top of the U.S. box office and sees her star alongside Ryan Reynolds, the husband of Scarlett Johansson.Speaking to GMTV's Ben Shepherd yesterday, Sandra said appearing in the buff helped the film do well in America and pledged to bare all well into old age.

She said: 'Box office like this - I’m going to be naked in every single film!'I’m going to be 70 years old - everything like hanging down - and I’m just going to walk by in random people’s films.'She continued: 'Come on, can you imagine me at 70, walking naked in who’s film? Zac Efron! Zac Efron doing a big film – there I am, running naked in the background.

'Just back and forth until someone notices. Big box office - they’re all going to want me in their film!'The actress went on to reveal the key to ‘bringing in the money’ is not filming steamy sex scenes - but by being naked and funny.She said: 'If you’re naked and you’re trying to be sexy - you don’t really make as much money as if you’re naked and you’re funny.'And Will Ferrell has been onto that for quite some time. Have you noticed how he drops his trousers in every single film? I’m going to do that from now on. Action film - all naked!'

Nearly two decades after Pamela Anderson first stalked onto screens the former Baywatch star is still flaunting her beach-ready body at any opportunity.The 41-year-old showed off her age-defying figure in a gold halterneck one-piece on the runway for Richie Rich at Mercedes-Benz fashion week in New York yesterday.Body-confident Pamela stalked down the runway as she shook her surgically enhanced chest at the audience.


The heavily made-up mother-of-two's tattoos were on show on her arm and back as she twisted and turned for the cameras.Designer Richie Rich then joined Pamela on the runway, giving her the opportunity to pout and preen in front of him.The former Playboy model appeared tanned and glossy, with her curly platinum extensions as brassy as her Baywatch heyday.In 1992 Pamela's appearance as CJ Parker on the show in her high-cut orange swimsuit made her an instant household name.

It seems only right that a supermodel should spend her holidays on a supercruiser and Cindy Crawford is no exception.The 43-year-old is spending a summer break in St Tropez on a luxury yacht with husband Rande Gerber.And her figure is still exceptional - Cindy's bikini body would make women half her age proud to show it off.

The ex-catwalk queen is taking a break with her husband and some famous friends in the exclusive French resort of St Tropez.Today she and Rande were joined by musician Sting and his wife Trudie Styler on their yacht. They group took a dinghy to the shore before enjoying a quiet lunch in the town.Sting sheltered his wife under an embroidered parasol, walking with his arm slung around her.

Earlier in the day Cindy had spent some time relaxing in the on-board swimming pool, before soaking up the sun in her black bikini.The model and mother of two showed off her incredible physique, before covering up with a towel.Earlier this year, she told Allure magazine that she looked 'pretty good for 43' but admitted that she has the same body issues as most women.

When it came to cellulite, she said: 'I do [have it], and I never said I didn't. I've had two kids and I'm 43, so leave me alone!'Although, we can't see a smidgen of it looking at these photos.Cindy and her friends are spending time on the multi-million pound cruiser Utopia. To hire the luxury yacht for just one week costs around € 475,000!

Cindy Crawford recently described herself as looking 'pretty good' for her age, but that seems something of an understatement given her latest bikini shoot.The age-defying mother-of-two proved she's still worthy of her supermodel billing at the age of 43 after peeling down to a strappy two-piece in Los Angeles this week.

Cindy looked at completely at ease as she tossed her hair and worked her killer body in front of the camera.She is believed to have been shooting a campaign for the Australian market, and called in her hairstylist Chris McMillan and photographer James White to make sure it was truly picture perfect.Cindy told Allure magazine last month: 'I think I look pretty good for 43, but I don't look the way I did when I was 23.'

But she also assured women she is human after all by admitting she has cellulite: 'I do, and I never said I didn't. I've had two kids and I'm 43, so leave me alone!'The star, ever the professional, managed to put aside her family's personal drama for the photoshoot following a difficult few weeks.Her husband Rande Gerber was accused of sexual harassment earlier this month.

Two former waitresses claim they were fired from a San Diego restaurant owned by Gerber’s company for rejecting the business mogul and manager's advances.Gerber has called the allegations a 'blatant lie' and actor George Clooney has also come to his defence.

She may be 43 and a mother-of-two, but there was no hiding her figure under a sarong for this woman.Cindy Crawford still has the same measurements as in her modelling heyday, 20 years ago.And her body-confidence showed as she joined husband Rande Gerber in Mexico today.

The couple, who married in 1998, chatted and lazed around, before getting up to play a game of catch with a minature rugby ball.Their children, Presley Walker and Kaia Jordan, were nowhere to be seen as the pair enjoyed some couple time.Cindy, who showed off her flawless body in a plum-coloured halterneck bikini, appeared completely unselfconscious as she played in the sun.

She then pulled on a loose cotton shirt to protect her skin as she joined Randy for a walk.In a recent interview the supermodel said she had no complaints about her body.'I think I look pretty good for 43, but I don't look the way I did when I was 23,' she said.And she also admitted she has cellulite: 'I do, and I never said I didn't. I've had two kids and I'm 43, so leave me alone!'

After Eva Mendes's first Calvin Klein advertisement was banned from TV for being too raunchy, it appears her latest campaign is trying to push the envelope even further.The Hitch actress, 35, is covered in body oil as she frolics with Irish model Jamie Dornan, 27, in the risqué new ad for CK underwear.

The latest advertising campaign is yet more proof that fashion houses are pushing boundaries to extremes in order to gain publicity for their products.In the new promos, a sweaty-looking Eva strips down to lacy lingerie as she pulls at Jamie's underwear while the couple lie entwined on the floor.In another shot for Klein's denim collection, a seemingly naked Eva is given a piggy back by Jamie, who shows off his glistening six pack.

One image shows Jamie's muscular arms strategically covering Eva's breasts as she poses topless in a pair of jeans.The new ads are set to grace U.S. billboards and appears in glossy magazines such as Vanity Fair and GQ from next month.The raunchy black and white ad was shot on location in Palms Springs, California earlier this year by acclaimed photographer Steven Meisel.

Speaking on the shoot, Eva said: 'I loved shooting with Steven and we had a great time on-set with Jamie.'Keira Knightley's ex-boyfriend Jamie was equally enthusiastic: 'Calvin Klein Jeans and Calvin Klein Underwear are both such iconic American brands, that to play a part in these campaigns is a true honour.

'Working alongside the sensationally sexy Eva Mendes on both shoots was incredible.'One of Eva's CK ads last year featured the actress lying naked as she writhed around on bed white sheets.The commercial for Klein's Secret Obsession perfume featured a brief glimpse of Eva's nipple and was deemed so raunchy it was banned from U.S. TV networks.Eva criticised her country for being too conservative: 'I love my country, but I believe that we are too quick to censor nudity.
