Nudity on the cover of a magazine is intended to create buzz, and in turn, sell newsstand copies. But it can take many forms. From the funny to the artistic to the totally bizarre (anyone remember Blind Melon on the cover of a November 1993 issue of Rolling Stone?), we’ve rounded up 40 magazine covers featuring famous celebrities in the buff. We think it really puts into perspective how provocative this new True Blood cast cover of Rolling Stone is. Not only does it feature multiple nude celebrities, but the image is extremely suggestive, rather than silly or playful, which is usually the case in the rare instance of male cover nudity. Click through and examine the evidence.

Is it just me? Or is the Mariah Carey cover absolutely horribly shot/styled? What is she holding? Her grandmas doilie?

I’d just like to say that Thailand is amazing to say the least, I loved every minute of beqing there. I went using a few friends on a trips. It was perfect for us, and I can honestly say it would be perfect for your experienced tourists… or unexperienced. So you must also have a blast in Thailand i think! ;)
