Did Arnold Schwarzenegger appear in sordid flicks at the beginning of his career? Rumours still rumble, but we know for sure that he posed naked for leering photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1970s. The Governator has also got little Arnie out for gay mag After Dark, leaving some people suggesting that his catchphrase should be updated to "I'll be back, sack and crack".
Ever wondered what Sylvester Stallone looked like naked, in the days before he started to resemble a melted Dolmio puppet? Well, before securing his reputation as a Hollywood tough guy, the noted ham played a different kind of "hard man" in horrifying sexploitation flick Party at Kitty and Stud's. It has since been re-released under the name Italian Stallion. My eyes!
Was woman in love Barbra Streisand really a woman in porn? Well, after a mucky movie purporting to feature the prominently-proboscised diva was released in the '70s, Babs allegedly obtained a copy to see if it was true! She then denied her involvement, pointing out that the "actress" involved had shorter fingers than the bony Streisand digits. So the conk and the badonkadonks must have been uncanny...
Cameron Diaz has famously refused to appear nude in a movie. However, Camz apparently unleashed her mams for some softcore S&M footage taken while having some – ahem – "tasteful" nude pics done for an early portfolio. When the snapper later attempted to flog the footage, Cammie got straight on the phone to her lawyers – but that hasn't stopped some shots turning up online.
Our sweaty-palmed transatlantic cousins got the wrong idea when they first heard of The Spice Girls, as American cable network Spice features wall-to-wall lovelies letting it all hang out. But perhaps it wasn't the wrong idea after all, as Geri Halliwell has previous experience in this field – a tape of her doing a topless audition has circulated on the internet. Look at Me indeed.
Here's one I laid earlier! Although scandal erupted when it was revealed that kiddies TV hero Peter Duncan had appeared in the buff in a British film named The Lifetaker, the BBC went on record to deny that he'd ever been a proper porn star. Still, we think that whoever named the show Blue Peter had made an oddly prescient choice....
Who'd want to rent a blue movie called All in the Family? People who watched Brookside for the Nat and Georgia storyline? Nope – fans of Jackie Chan, who bared his chopper in this Hong Kong-based skin flick at the beginning of his career. The cast also included Martial Law actor Sammo Hung. We guess he must have lived up to his name.
Screech? We nearly screamed blue bloody murder when we heard that Dustin Diamond – AKA Screech from Saved By The Bell – had released his own porn flick named Saved By The Smell. If that wasn't bad enough, he's since attempted to profit from his new reputation by unleashing a selection of sex toys moulded on his manhood. The horror. The horror.
Meanwhile, a number of rappers including Snoop Dogg (pictured) and Ice T have hosted x-rated videos. However, they've refused to partake in any on-screen action. What's the matter, boys? Happy to objectify women, but not so keen on showing the world what you're made of? Perhaps the two of them just don't measure up.
Think that Marilyn Manson might be the most chilling thing that boring burlesque star Dita Von Teese has done? Think again! In her early modelling days, she appeared in a number of softcore and hardcore fetish flicks. Eeehhh. It makes you long for her to put her nipple tassels back on, doesn't it?
