Emmanuelle Chriqui

She came close to showing it all off on the American Idol stage last May, donning a bikini on the season eight finale.

But Kara DioGuardi takes things one step further in the latest issue of Allure. Actually, two steps: the bottom and the top. She appears totally naked in the magazine.

"This shoot was less about beauty than about taking a risk and showing people a side of me they never have seen," the American Idol judge said, looking back on her days of battling an eating disorder:

"Back then I was a size 6 or 8; now I'm more like a size 2. Food is not what I use to anesthetize myself anymore."

DioGuardi isn't the only celebrity to bare it all for Allure. Wanna see an Entourage hottie and a Grey's Anatomy beauty in the buff? Read on.

Her character got engaged to end the last season of Entourage, but in real life, Emmanuelle Chriqui has even better news to share:

She's the most desirable woman in the world, at least according to Askmen.com.

That website has concluded its annual poll with an unexpected result: last year's winner, Megan Fox, has fallen all the way to number-11. Chriqui has sky-rocketed to the front because...

... we don’t know her, which is a rarity in the paparazzi-infested 21st century. Chriqui is reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour in the sense that the only glimpses we see of her personal life exist on red carpets.

Is that really a reason to rank this beauty at the top of such a sexy list? Sure, she speaks fluent English and French. And she was involved in a threesome a couple years ago on Entourage, but still.

Check out her photos below and then let us know your thoughts:

Maxim came out with its annual Hot 100 list this week. Check out the top ten most beautiful women in the world, according to the magazine, now.

We browsed the rankings earlier and - we may have been distracted by a shot of Elisha Cuthbert nude - but we failed to see Emmanuelle Chriqui anywhere on the list. No big deal, you say?

Take a look at this photo of the Entourage actress and think again:

Fans of Entourage don't need to think about this answer.

They know all about Emmanuelle Chriqui, the lovely girlfriend of the character portrayed by Kevin Connolly.

And while we don't have any nude pictures yet of this actress - but we do for Tricia Helfer and Lucy Pinder - we wanted to introduce a new, beautiful face into The Hollywood Gossip archives. We're gonna assume our male readers don't mind.

Meanwhile, Chriqui also appeared in two episodes of The OC. She was fortunate enough to have played the ex-girlfriend of Olivia Wilde. Her character in that show would have seen Wilde's character naked. So lucky.

We apologize if that offends any of our female fans. But here's a photo of Sean Stewart naked to make up for it.
