NEW YORK - With award season still under way,
Scarlett Johansson and
Keira Knightley are exchanging ballgowns for birthday suits.

Under the artful eye of photographer Annie Leibovitz, the starlets posed nude for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine's yearly Hollywood issue, to be released Wednesday.

Fashion superstar Tom Ford also appears on the cover photo, though he stuck with a more traditional suit — one of black fabric.

Ford, the issue's guest art director, said he hadn't planned on becoming part of his own project, but he stepped in when "Wedding Crashers" star
Rachel McAdams, 29, backed out.

"She did want to do it, and then when she was on the set I think she felt uncomfortable, and I didn't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable" Ford said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Other Hollywood stars weren't difficult to persuade, Ford said.

"A lot of women actually, a couple of men, too, wanted to take their clothes off," he said. "These are such beautiful people, beautiful women, and who doesn't want to see a bit of them."

Angelina Jolie also got naked for the Hollywood issue, posing in a bathtub. Another shot depicts a fully clothed
George Clooney as a director filming a large cast of women wearing skin-tone underwear.

For the cover photo, Knightley, 20, was photographed sitting sideways, with legs and arms carefully placed. The 21-year-old Johansson, draped over Ford's leg, is somewhat more exposed — readers who open the fold-out cover will see her bare buttocks.

Knightley is currently nominated for a best actress Oscar for her performance in "Pride & Prejudice." Johansson co-starred this year in
Woody Allen's "Match Point."

In 2 years Scarlett will resemble more like a whale with tits.

[Barbara]

Keira should not pose in the nude and Scarlett's face expression is getting worse everyday.

here's the large version of the cover: http://www.gossiprocks.com/forum/mag...ch-2006-a.html

I think Scarlett looks gorgeous. Keira looks... a little odd.

[Luna]

Scarlett looks better clothed. They both look just o.k. I think they could look better. Who's the dude?

I thought it was Jeremy Piven before I found out it was Tom Ford! I saw him on GMA this am. Apparently, Rachel MacAdams was supposed to be in the photo too -- it was going to be the three girls on a bed together, but Rachel became very uncomfortable with the set up (she did know it was going to be a nude shot beforehand) and Tom came up with this idea as an alternate.

[muchlove]

yea, I remember the thing about Rachel refusing to do it.

[emilymoon]

I am sort of embarrased for them. They are already concidered sexy do why do this shoot. Let's demote women even more in Hollywood. Why not put naked guys on the front now that would be controversial. And Scarlett looks squat.

Sorry, I just think it's really bad taste, and it proves to me Vanity Fair will do anything to sell magazines. I thought it was bad when they put Paris Hilton on the cover, and I thought it was bad when they put Lindsay Lohan on the cover. Putting these two naked starlets on the cover with a male--even a gay one--is beyond yuck.
