All The News That's Fit To Strip

Current polled readers on the sexiest cinematic stripteases. Jamie Lee Curtis' twirl in True Lies came in first. The top ten teases:

1. Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies
2. Kim Basinger in 9½ Weeks
3. Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn
4. Elisha Cuthbert in The Girl Next Door
5. Natalie Portman in Closer
6. Demi Moore in Striptease
7. Rebecca Romijn in Femme Fatale
8. Jessica Alba in Sin City
9. Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried in Mean Girls
10. Mia Kirshner in Exotica

I can't believe Littel Miss Sunshine didn't make the cut.

The NY Press says Margaret Cho’s The Sensuous Woman "is worth every hoot and catcall, not only for her zinger-filled standup, but for the freewheeling sexual demagoguery of the whole enterprise."
