Stars who love to strip!

To bare or not to bare - that's the eternal question facing Hollywood's biggest stars. It's easy to see why they come under such pressure from studios and producers - flesh on show generally equates to bums on seats, and money in the bank. Some red-hot youngsters demand no-nudity clauses as a matter of course, while some old hands are happy to let it all hang out, cellulite and all. Full frontal or fully buttoned, here's what the stars think about stripping for the cameras

• All buttoned up
• Now you see it, now you don't
• Serial strippers
• ...and the 'Free Willy' brigade! (the boys)

All buttoned up

Britney Spears
Pop princess Britney has vowed never to bare all. Despite losing her squeaky-clean image with a series of lurid, well-documented love romps, and raunchy photo shoots that leave little to the imagination; 23-year-old Brit's bits remain very much undercover. She only agreed to do a love scene with co-star Anson Mount in her movie Crossroads if she could stay fully clothed. 'I would never go naked,' she says. 'If it was necessary for the character I would get a body double to do it. I just wouldn't feel comfortable being completely naked in front of people. That's totally against what I believe in.'

Beyonce Knowles
Bootylicious babe Beyonce has teased male fans with her skimpy stage outfits, but the 23-year-old is adamant she'll never go the full monty. 'Every photographer wants to be the first one who talks Beyonce out of her clothes,' she says. 'It's prestigious for him if I expose a nipple. People test you to see how far they can go. They exert pressure on me. If I had a dollar for every time that kind of guy says, 'You'll only get the cover if you take off your pants', I'd be a rich woman. When they make those kinds of demands, I leave. I want to be respected and remembered for my talent, not for my booty.'

Jennifer Aniston
'The sexy one' from Friends is so determined not to strip for the camera that she has a no-nudity clause written into her contracts. Despite topping countless sexiest woman polls worldwide, 36-year-old Jennifer has always kept her clothes very much on. An insider on the set of her movie The Good Girl said: 'A lot of people were making the assumption she wasn't happy stripping off because she is pregnant. But she said it was simply a matter of taste and she wasn't going that far.'

Jennifer Lopez
Having the most recognisable backside on the planet is one thing, but J-Lo, 35, is desperate for her breasts to remain strictly undercover. She says: 'I will never bare all on film. You can do love scenes that show skin, legs, whatever. But nudity is not for me.'

Scarlet Johannson
The 20-year-old beauty has a strict no-stripping rule, although she's not averse to a little titillation. For her breakthrough role in Lost in Translation, she was happy to get down to basics for director Sofia Coppola. 'I had quite a few scenes where I'm just sitting around the hotel room in my underwear,' she says. 'And it definitely makes a difference having a woman director. It'd be far more uncomfortable having a man direct those kinds of intimate scenes, I'm not sure I'd like it.'
