Okay, this is a weird one. These photos feature Kim Cattrall nude along with performers from London's burlesque show Le Cirque. So, why is Kim Cattrall naked in a lame recreation of the Titian painting Diana & Actaeon? Supposedly it's to raise money so that the painting can be purchased from it's current owner to make sure it stays in Britain. Seriously, since when has Kim Cattrall needed such a convoluted excuse to get naked? The old bitch is always taking her clothes off, now I would totally do an older chick but just not this one. Somebody needs to tell Kim Cattrall it's not 1980, she wasn't hot 30 years ago and she is not hot now. The Daily Mail reports:
"Kim Cattrall is nothing if not brave. The game actress's latest role called for her to take off her clothes for a worthy cause - to save a valuable artwork - alongside a troupe of super-fit twenty-something performers from theatre production La Clique. And the 52-year-old actress, who regularly stripped in television show Sex And The City, duly rose to the challenge, holding her own among the nubile young bodies who were assembled to recreate Titian masterpiece Diana and Actaeon. BBC Two's The Culture Show teamed up with artist and photographer Tom Hunter to create a modern-day version of the artwork."
Nobody in their right mind would ever willingly bang this old exhibitionist but if it was just me and her on a deserted island with no hope of recuse, you never know. Kim Cattrall, 52 years old, bared virtually all to recreate Titian masterpiece alongside (L-R) Gemma Rolls-Bentley, Kimberly Williams and Yulia Pykhtina. Click on pictures to enlarge.
The shoot was organized by BBC program The Culture Show and helmed by photographer and artist Tom Hunter
Tom Hunter is well known for his recreation of old masters and is the only photographer to have had an exhibition at the National Gallery, London.
The Culture Show challenged Hunter to create a 21st century version of the painting after he came out in support of the campaign to raise £50million to keep it on public display in Britain.
Tom said: 'Kim is the perfect Diana. Just like the Greek goddess, she combines beauty with a sense of threat.
'She was a great sport and at 52 made an amazing Diana. She more than held her own among a room full of twenty-somethings.
'The picture can't of course hold a candle to the original which deserves to remain on public view. This painting is sublime and to lose it to a private collection would be a tragedy.'
Cattrall, whose parents are British, is a regular visitor to the National Gallery and a huge admirer of Titian's work.
The Duke of Sutherland, who owns the painting, has given the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery, London until December 31 to raise £50million to buy it from him. After that point, he may sell it on the open market.

Kim Victoria Cattrall (pronounced /kəˈtræl/, rhyming with shall; born August 21, 1956 in Widnes, England) is an English-Canadian actress. She is known for her role as Samantha Jones in the HBO comedy/romance series Sex and the City, and for her leading roles in the 1980s films Police Academy and Mannequin. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
Cattrall began her career after graduating from high school in 1972 when she left Canada for New York City. There, she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and upon her graduation signed a five-year movie deal with director Otto Preminger, making her film debut in Preminger's Rosebud in 1975. A year later, Universal Studios bought out that contract and Cattrall became one of the last participants of the Universal Contract Player System. During her time with Universal, she guest starred in numerous television programmes of varying style and genre. In 1979 she played Dr. Gabrielle White in The Incredible Hulk and would go down in TV Hulk lore as one of the few characters who knew David Banner was alive and was the creature. Her work in television paid off, and she quickly made the transition to cinema. She starred opposite Jack Lemmon in his Oscar-nominated movie Tribute in 1980. The following year, she starred in the critically acclaimed Ticket to Heaven.
In 1982, Cattrall played Miss Honeywell in Porky's, followed two years later by a role in the original Police Academy. In 1985, she starred in three movies: Turk 182, City Limits and Hold-Up, the latter with French star Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1986, she played Kurt Russell's brainy flame in the action film Big Trouble in Little China. In 1987, her lead role in Mannequin proved a huge success with audiences. One of her most well-known film roles is that of Lieutenant Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
Aside from her film work, Cattrall is also a stage and theater actress, with performances in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge and Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters to her credit. In 1997, she was cast in Sex and the City, Darren Star's series that was broadcast on HBO. As Samantha Jones, Cattrall gained international recognition. She capitalized on her success by appearing in steamy television commercials promoting Pepsi One. She also signed a publishing deal to write a book about sex with her third husband, Mark Levinson. In addition, she can be heard reading the poetry of Rupert Brooke on the CD Red Rose Music SACD Sampler Volume One.
Her film work continued during Sex and the City when she appeared in Britney Spears' first film venture, Crossroads. Sex and the City ended as a weekly series in spring 2004 with an audience of 10.6m viewers. Cattrall reprised the role of Samantha Jones in the Sex and the City film, released on May 30, 2008. blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com
