An almost nude Penelope Cruz? Not too shabby.

An entirely nude Tricia Helfer? Not even remotely shabby.

The Battlestar Galactica star, and host of Canada's Next Top Model, will be appearing nude in Playboy magazine next month. Geeks haven't been this excited since the Spider-Man 3 poster was revealed.

Here's the tease from the Playboy site:

Tricia Helfer: On Battlestar Galactica she's known as Number Six, but we can't think of her as anything less than a 10. The leggy former top fashion model makes love to our camera in quite the spread.

We can't say we're unexcited for this. With Matthew McConaughey now insisting on wearing clothes, it's nice to know other beautiful people are not.
