Feb 7 2006Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley pose nude in Vanity Fair

The tease of all teases! But I'll take what I can get of these two babes. :)

Absolutely! I'm picking this one up!

Yeah...OK. Whatev.... No really, I still don't know if I like Johannsen yet. I really liked her in Lost in Translation, but I'm getting a "my shit don't stink" vibe off of that one. Knightly, well, she's kind of cool. I like her in those tough, kick-ass roles (but honestly, she doesn't look strong enough to rip a piece of foil.)

I'm pretty sure the only people who want to see Keira naked are closet pedo's.

Seriously. She's built like a nine year old boy.

Wow, Scarlett looks like she's straight out of an Ingres painting...yay for a gal who actually has curves. Hope this cover doesn't get anyone's knickers in a knot. It's tastefully done!

I think Keira looks good there (look at her abs!), but Scarlett just does not look attractive! She reminds me of one of the really pale, puffy women in those really old, antique paintings.

Maybe that was the point, but why would anyone do that on purpose?! Not hot!

torontogirl,
sounds like you need to go on a diet. it's okay, you don't really need an extra layer of blubber to survive the harsh canadian winter: that's just a story made up by the big food industry.

It's a terrible picture.

Do hate ladys, those girls are hot hot hot...opps my balls just exploded.

opps again, DONT hate ladies.

Yes, I know Tom Ford is gay. But DAUMMN.....he's fine.

I will have those two girls and anyone who stands in my way is gettin' slayed.

My name is Brown, that's what they call me.

gotta love that tush. i think scarlett looks better than keira in this picture, who looks like she's about to turn 40. scarlett's feminine curves over muscled-up keira anytime.

REPLY: If bald gay guys are hot what chance do I -- a devastatingly handsome straight dude with a full head of hair -- have in this world?

Toronto Girl: please refrain from making idiotic Canadian comments from now on.--That's all.

Keira looks hot, Scarlett does not. Even thought Scarlett is actually a lot prettier than Keira and there's no pictures of Scarlett with dodgy ass skin, the pose is all wrong for her. I think they should swap poses. Nobody wants to see a fat ass looking pasty and in that pic it looks as tough her whole upper leg area is one big white ass. Also, would it have killed Scarlett to suck in her stomach? Oh and, trust me, I'm not jealous - of Jessica Alba, yes just a little...

check out the vanity fair website, they have a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot. scarlett was on the phone the entire time, probably with josh hartnett trying to convince her not to do it.

Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley posing nude is classy, angelic looking. Paris Hilton nude = used up slag period

Eh, it's a cool spread, but Ms. Johansson gets the sweet pose, while Ms. Knightley doesn't get to stretch it out...

Kudos to Tom Ford for being all kinds of fucking FINE. Word #11 Lynette. And by the way, only shallow girls care about balding men. Hair or no hair, it's all the same to me.

By the way, SJ is very pretty and I see what they were going for with the old style, but it just makes her look old and pasty. Come to think of it, now that I look again, they both look old. And Tom looks great. Hmmmmm. Gay Mafia anyone!

Well I'd rather have the girl that won't show her boobs even in a shot like that then the girl that will show them everytime even when not asked.

Keira is so beautiful! It just has to be mentioned. She's perfect. I don't know much about Scarlett...she seems too pale. But how much makeup do they have on their bodies? Not one scar, not on pimple, no nothing...it's weird.

PS:TorontoGirl,that's just your jealousy speaking. Do lay off the burgers, like someone already said.

What's the best way to clean sper- I mean mayonaisse off a keyboard?

They both look pretty good, but Scarlett is quite pasty for a black background. Not to say that Keira is ugly or anything, but I'd do Scarlett over her any day. Need some shading or different lighting in the next photo, guys.

"She reminds me of one of the really pale, puffy women in those really old, antique paintings."

That was the point of the shoot, and shes extra pale considering they used a talc powder coating on her the most. The blame would go to the photographer here if anything else.

Next to Keira, anyone would look thick. She has nice breasts, but the rest is not that great. Her face is especially stretched-looking in this shot.

Sure it's nice that they're posing nude and all but why are their faces not-so-sexy-as-they-could-be?

Such negativity from everyone. Let's slap your purty ass on VF and see how awesome you look.

She's not from Canada, she's from Toronto - the World Class City. It's o.k. to ignore her.

Your friend,
The rest of Canada

That dude looks wayyy too much like Jeremy Piven for his own good.

Tom Ford looks like a 70's pornstar with his hairline and his shirt open like that.

oooooo just had an epiphany: i now know where i got the "looks like she's about to turn 40" remark from: she's going for a sharon stone pose. stone always poses that way in pictures, especially the way she turns up her face - it's uncanny.

Scarlet looks demented, what's going on with her face it looks all kinds of fugly. And something about her lowerback/ass area just looks wrong, like they photo shoped the bodies of two people together and it didn't quite match up...also she's a whore

they need to get some dudes posin nude in this magazine, shit.

Looks like Scarlett fell into a vat of Bisquick. And I don't care for the "I'm ready to have my temperature taken" pose. I'm just glad that she can't talk in a photo. Such a manly voice on that woman - could she be covering the balls?

Why is SJ flashing Vulcan gang signs? or maybe it's a secret "V, is for..."

yummmm, pasty. I'd hit it.

Spank-ity Fair

I think Scarlett looks better than Keira here. Keira is a beautiful girl although I do think she'd do to gain a little weight.
And anybody who is calling SJ fat is crazy.

Watch the video--was Tom Ford even in the same room room as them? I think we're witnessing a little bit of "Hollywood magic" here, folks. The test shots only featured Scarlett and Keira, or was I missing something? They both looked a little uncomfortable and embarassed; it was refreshing to see two young actresses behaving so modestly. Ha, betcha the thought of Keira and Scarlett gettin' all snuggly in that tiny room is makin' all you guys really hot and bothered now.

here's a link to the video, btw: http://www.vanityfair.com/features/outtakes/060207feou

On first glance it appears as if The Rock is about to bite some anorexic eastern european hooker's ear clean off.

Can you smell what the rock is cooking?

Thats right. Tuna.

They should have forgot about John Ford and the drab Keira and just went with the hot Scarlett J. with this photo and been done with it.

http://www.scarlettjohansson.org/gallery/albums/publicappearances/2006/goldenglobes/normal_002.jpg

Scarlett is a beautiful girl, but the angle of her face in this photo was not very flattering. I think Keira is pretty too, but she looks too angular next to Scarlett.

And anybody who is doubting whether or not Scarlett is pretty should see Match Point.

What would make the photo better would be a Keira-sized handprint on Scarlett's left ass cheek. Give the girl a bit of color. Oh, and Tom Ford to grow a cheesy mustache to complete the 70's porno-dude look. And talk like Antonio Banderas.

DAMIT keira can sit up like that and she has absolutely no fat at all. that takes a lot up situps and some fast metabolism to get that. im pretty skinny too but shes just wow. and scarlett doesnt need to suck in her stomach thats what your stomach does when you like down like that. its called gravity

Comment #29 Spot on. I thought it WAS Jeremy Piven until I read the text.

Scarlett appears borderline retarded in that shot. What's up with that goofy look on her face? She looks like a chubby Traci Lords.

Plumpness and scrawniness aside neither girl looks very good in that pic.

I think the shot was extremely well done. Keira does look a little too thin to be pair with SJ there, but it doesn't throw off the shot that horribly. I'm hoping people see more the artistic side of it all instead of a "cheap 70's porno."

Wait....so people still read Vanity Fair? Riiiiight. Maybe this will egg Jennifer Love Hewitt on to do something....

Let me just state for the record what all hetero guys are thinking right now: 1. Scarlett's tits and Keira's body = peanute butter cups. Hmmm... peanut butter cups. 2. What guy do you girls keep talking about? I don't see a guy in the picture.

Ok so why isn't George Clooney naked COME ON fair is fair

I never really found either of them that hot

Kiera's lip implants are terrible. She always has a bewildered Goldie Hawn look on her face because of them. NOT HOT AT ALL.

oh yeah, given a choice of Keira or Scarlett, we're supposed to believe that a man would prefer kKeira. yeah right. :rolleyes:

why does scarlett look like renee zellwegger?

What is wrong with you people? Both of these women are gorgeous. Besides, you're kind of an idiot if you think there is only one kind of "beautiful."
To the person that said, "She reminds me of one of the really pale, puffy women in those really old, antique paintings," you are an imbecile. Ms. Johansson appears to be quite un-puffy. You might want to take a second glance at that classical art you act like you know so much about. The women in those paintings were supposed to be representations of fertility. And yeah, they were pretty damn "puffy." But neither of these women is. Go throw up or excersize some more so you can get rid of all your "puffiness."

So this is the infamous photoshoot that Rachel McAdams fired her publicist on the spot when she found out she has to be nude to do it! She was supposed to do the cover with Scarlett and Keira, but then she doesn't want to be nude...

Um, GUYs,.. that's NOT REAL. That's called AIRBRUSH

Both Keira and Scarlett are beautiful, but even though I think Scarlett has an enviable figure, if I were she, NO WAY would I pose naked right next to Keira.

I agree with #8, that's one ugly photograph.

it isn;t a good picture, sj's legs look very awkwardly posed, she should have crossed her legs in the back. she also could use some eye makeup, her face is really washed out looking.

Has it ever occured to those of you who are obssesing over SJ's weight that perhaps she does not want to look like a stick. Not every one in Hollywood these days is hooked on cocaine and/or has some sort of eating disorder. Besides, even if she were to drop a couple of pounds then the "Oh God, look how skinny she looks, there must be something wrong with her" comments would spill forth. As someone earlier commented, lets put your ass up there and see what shape you are.

i agree with jka, scarlett has a nice body and she's not fat or anything but in front of the camera, next to a stick thin keira knightley, she's only going to look fat. keira's limbs and body is alot more elongated and slimline than scarletts, which gives the impression of scarlett being pudgy, vene though she really isnt.

"...with all the fun parts covered up."

Scarlett Johansson's ass = a fun part. Definitely.

a new generation that has taken over Julia Roberts' and Halie Berry's positions as the most overrated women in Hollywood... not only acting wise, but appearance wise.

Kiera creeps me out when she smiles or looks like she's a cocaine head.
Scarlett looks good when she's at a different angle... from whatever I've read about Scarlett, her persona kills her image and she's just another drama whore.

There has to be a bigger scan of this somewhere. Has to be..

Wow. Everyone's defensive today.
While I find Keira and Scarlett to be untalented and annoying; and Keira to be the less attractive of the two (seriously. She's built like a boy, she does nothing but pout...); they've both looked a *hell* of a lot better than they do here. Their hair, make-up and posing is all pretty horrendous.

poster 15....just be quiet

hmmmm maybe they were going for all women arent built equal....duh just a thought.

51 is right, Kiera has a totally creept smile. She's a freak. The photo is so airbrushed!

Ohh I meant 63 is right.. sorry. SJ looks like she has mountain man legs.

Tom Ford is HOT. I'd rather see HIM naked.

I would love to roll around naked with both of them....OK, throw in the gay guy too...

Oh lovely. It's good to know that, as we assume we've made strides in equality for women, we've once again regressed. As with any style of European antiquated paintings, the women are perceived as objects - to be seen, to give pleasure to the viewer. Tom Ford (playing the token man),is fully clothed,and represents what can be done to these feminine objects. The only defense this cover has is that Ford is gay.

THANK GOD Rachel McAdams did not agree to do this photoshoot, they looked really UGLY! Scarlett looks like a pig and Keira...well never liked her and always thought she was a boy with a weird Jack in the Box head...so...whatever, she's overrated anyway.

personally, i wouldn't kick either one of them out of bed,

both very lovely ladies.

Now, I'm not big on Scarlett Johansson but my goodness, her skin is beautiful there. She looks like a 50's pinup, Bettie Page style, flawless porcelain skin. Very elegant. And I've always had a girlcrush on Keira Knightley, perfect pert little breasts, beautiful long limbs and a classic, elegant face structure.

Of course it's airbrushed. It's not like they'd pretend otherwise.

Bug here again....The idea behind the picture was good, but I really don't think they picked the best picture out of the whole shoot. We all know SJ is really pretty and has big boobs, but an ass shot (hee hee) was not what the doctor ordered. KK has a very pretty face, but looks old here and she is too skinny. Maybe a picture of SJ on her side, showing the curve of hip and waist would have been nice.

The only good thing about this photo is the guy. The girls look too pasty. This could have been a very beautiful photo if done right.

Whoever took that picture deserves the Nobel Prize.

Mmmm....Scarlett....

I actually feel better after seeing this. Scarlett is gorgeous, but let's face, she has heavy calves and cankles.

And why are these two actresses posing with Jeremy Piven again?

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with being 'pasty'...it's far preferable to orange. Besides, it's not like they're mediterranean or anything, so they're probably naturally pale under all the makeup anyway. And I don't see anything wrong with that. It looks kinda classy in my humble opinions

Seriously, how much airbrushing had to go into this picture?

1) To flesh out boy in disguise Keira
2) To thin out fatty come lately Scarlett
3) To hetero-ize Tom (although I think he's mad sexy)

Scarlett looks totally fat and pasty, I would be em-bare-assed to show my fat white ass on the front of a magazine like that, her agent obviously isn't doing his job! Gross! Keira looks cute though.

Dear rori (post #54): You're right, "those really old, antique paintings" does sound like I was acting like I know a lot about them (catch the sarcasm?). Clearly I'm not an art history major....and I didn't pretend to be! I'd have at least used google to find an artist's name if I wanted to sound like I knew something about it.

Why do you automatically think that I'm an imbecile just because I don't view beauty the same way you do? You sound like the narrow minded one here because of they way you reacted simply because my opinion didn't match yours.

For the record, I don't think SJ is fat, I just don't think this is the most flattering picture of her and yes, she does look puffy (although maybe she doesn't look puffy compared to some people, such as yourself).

For the other record, no, I'm not fat or puffy and I don't have to puke to stay thin. I'm sure you don't belive me so whatever...I won't lose any sleep over it.

Highly airbrushed? You bet. And I know this to be a fact. No image seen in any magazine, be it Seventeen or Better Homes and Gardens, isn't airbrushed in some way.

I'm not really a fan of either actress, but the picture is stunning nevertheless.

By the way:

"Tom Ford looks like a 70's pornstar with his hairline and his shirt open like that."

I was kinda thinking myself that he looks like a darker Leisure Suit Larry. :P

I just love reading these comments! As a long time
subscriber to Vanity Fair, I must say that this is not my
favorite Hollywood cover but still, it was done tastefully
and artfully and therefore sets it above Maxim.

I'm with Gossipmonger...rather something done tastefully and subtly than something like Maxim.

As I said I'm certainly no fan of SJ but her arse is far from fat...they're either too thin or too fat, is there ever a happy medium? Damned if they do...

oh cmon...they're hot and you know it. Esp Keira....shes hotter than so many people. Im sort of iffy on Scarlett, cuz shes an annoying girl in all of her interviews and i hate her movies (except for lost in translation, but its cuz of bill murray). But keira's films i highly enjoy and her sexiness just doesn't give up...this is a wicked picture and i wish they put more keira in more magz, cuz she's fabulous....

ps comments that are talking about "puffy, white women in antique paintings" are most likely referring to Picasso. And no Scarlett looks like nothing in Picasso's portrayal of "beauty"...You should see what he paints..then you'd call her an anorexic in comparison...but i wouldnt compare vantity fair to timeless classic art....

full res shot of this pic

http://img139.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc137&image=227c3_vf.jpg

Looked at the high-res shot, and what the eff happened to Keira's lips?! She's giving Jessica Simpson a run for her money. Gotta wonder why someone who's already drop-dead gorgeous would be messing with their face.

Never cared much for her, never shuts up about being a tomboy, not a girly girl, blah blah blah. Yeah right.

I looked at the high-res shot too and I noticed that Keira has her belly button ring in. I'm suprised they didn't make her take it out. Seems kinda tacky in this situation because it doesn't match the theme of the photo at all. This situation aside, if anyone has the stomach for a belly piercing, it's Keira.

Hey, I wonder why all of Hollywood is suffering from eating disorders. Hmm, could it be comments made like the ones above mine? Scarlett has a curvy figure and celebrates it. I enjoy a woman with a soft body, not a friggin skeleton. Would you want Nicole Ritchie posing on the cover? Her ass is smaller, but she doesn't have tits or her period.

#91: damn, thanks for the high-res photo! whew!

no nips no care

yeah, the man looks REALLY out of place, and scarlett's legs look super awkward, as do her flat archless feet. This would have been better if rachel adams was in it and scarlett knew how to lay down in a way that looked less goofy and uncomfortable. keira should have taken out the belly ring, and maybe scarletts lips should be a more natural color less, fuschia

Two extremes - Keira looks like a pre-pube, Scarlett looks like a real woman. One looks like a boy, one looks like a girl. The guy doesn't belong there. Bring on Naked McAdams!

Saw the Hi-Res pic.

Keira, stop with the lips, you're English, no one expects you to have a thick upper lip.

Rachel McAdams has the Apple Butt to pull off the butt shot.

I'm sorry, Scarlett J does not have the glutes for this shot, but overall, up close and in hi res, the picture looks a lot better than I thought.

This cover does neither of them justice. SJ's body is far more amazing than that! she actually is fairly long-limbed--more so than keira. Keira actually has a really long torso and pretty short arms and legs; it's just that Keira is in a slightly more flattering pose. Keira isn't too thin either. She's always had hips and thighs and a very athletic build.

Also, whoever mentioned SJ's unarched feet is right on; her feet shouldn't have been hanging off like that. It would have made her legs look much longer if her feet had been arched.

The thing that also bothers me about the picture is that there is no interaction between any of the people in it (and I don't mean that in a sexual way). It's just that none of the figures in the picture look like they're even remotely relating to one another.

i slapped my ass up there http://hottiedotty.blogspot.com/

First off, I too mistook Tom Ford as Jeremy Piven. I also agree with #27. But one thing that you all are forgetting is that they are actress'-It is very rare these days to find someone who isn't full of themselves. These two women do a great job of showing that no two people are made the same. They are two completely different body types/structures and both have the confidence to pose nude on a high-traffic magazine. I personally wouldn't do it, even if I did have a perfect body and was unbelieveably gorgeous for the simple fact that no matter what, someone is going to complain or have something negative to say. You can't please everyone at the same time. I applaud Racheal McAdams for standing up for her beliefs and I think that people should respect her instead of critizing. And to close, I would like to say that I have enjoyed reading all of your comments but do you really think any of those people care what you think? They probably made more money off of this one photo shoot then you do in at least a month. And who cares if it's photoshoped? If you did a nude photo shoot, I guarantee that yours would be too. (all photos are photoshoped at least a little.. whether you want to believe it or not) And for the record, I read Maxim also..

Scarlett Johansson's body is disgusting. She looks like the Pillbury Doughgirl. All sloppy and pasty. Yuck. Keep your clothes on! Keep your clothes on!

I want to see jessica alba's ass!

Pilsbury Doughgirl was what i mean't to type.

Keira's boobies... Where the hell are they? And where's Scarlett Johansson's butt crack? I wonder how she poops.

The direction could be better yes. Every photorgapher either do their own style or theirs "clients" style. I would of done it another way.

Give me enough dough for two models and I'll shoot with my concept. Check my link out. "Donations"

I'm kind of disappointed in them..it's very cliche.

Personally I find Keira very smarmy and stuck up, so I find it hard to see any picture of her as attractive. And Scarlett doesn't look that hot really either...they just look like 2 naked girls trying to be contraversial.

That said, I doubt I'm as physically attractive as either of them, so who am I to judge?

Apparently there was a third person scheduled to do this "who chickened out when the clothes started coming off" - anyone know who that was?

I would eat them both!!!!!!!!!!!!
anybody has a poster size?!?!?!?!
