Does anyone else find this piece humorous?

How Gratuitous Is Anne Hathaway's Nudity in Love and Other Drugs?

By: Willa Paskin

When it comes to getting naked on-camera, some actresses do it, and some don't. Those that do inevitably explain that they are only willing to do so when nudity is fundamental to the story or the character, not just incidental or lecherous. In Love and Other Drugs, in theaters tomorrow, co-stars Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are naked a lot (or nekkid, as David Edelstein put it). So inevitably, Hathaway would like to be clear that the nudity is not at all gratuitous: "We didn't want to lose the film's energy in these [nude] scenes. And I think that is what resulted in the film. It's less of nudity and more of intimacy." We couldn't agree more!

It reads like a tongue-in-cheek satirical poke at celebs who say they won't get nude unless there's good reason to (i.e. bags of cash). Yeah, I'd agree that it's humorous.

Did you both get a Tommy Hilfiger commercial pop up when you were reading the article?

Back to my comment. Well....it was an amusing 'read'.

Kathy Bates has been fully naked in 2 movies I have watched....not THAT'S what I call 'getting into character'. After all....look at the size of her. Jack Nicholson's face is a picture when she joins him in the hot-tub...naked! Can't remember the name of the film though.

Geez, thought I was going to see Ann nude, here, now.

I tried searching for NUDE on the internet the other day.

The first three pages were all from the Spoof...

My lawyers insisted that I state that this is not true, and if you try this at work, and get sacked, I'm not responsible.

No nudity in Nanook of The North. True, his "wife" wasn't his real wife, but there was no hanky panky. Oh no. Nanook was above all that.

Imagine - "Nanook of The North Nude!" Brings tears to the eyes.

No nudes is good news.

I too like that there was no such a nude content in it..

You like Nanook of The North? Clearly a reader of taste.
