Sex and the City’s Kim Cattrall is taking off her clothes again, this time as part of a campaign to raise $100 million to keep a Titian masterpiece on public display in Britain. The Daily Mail says

The 52-year-old actress 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. For the recreation, Cattrall posed alongside the cast of cult cabaret production La Clique.

It’s amazing the power that boobs can wield. From saving art to convincing the masses to spend their faltering U.S. dollars on overpriced chicken wings and Axe Deodorant Body Spray, boobs make the world go ’round. I’ve stopped referring to mine as “breasts” in favor of the more empowering “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” Mostly because people start screaming and scrambling for the exits like I’m brandishing a goddamn bomb whenever I pull my top off. I guess sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, people feel like they just can’t take it.

Digitial Spy reports,

A collage portrait of Paris Hilton made from porn magazines has gone on show at a New York gallery.

British artist Jonathan Yeo is behind the work, which was purchased by Damien Hirst ahead of last night’s opening.

A similar image of President Bush also forms part of the exhibition, reports The Associated Press.

A gallery spokeswoman said the Hilton portrait is titled “Paris, 2008″ and posters of it will be sold for $20 (£10.80) each.

Yeo is offering the star proceeds from the sale of the posters because she never received any money from the notorious 2004 sex video that starred her and then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, the spokeswoman said.

When trying to capture their subject, an artist is faced with the task of trying to find the medium that will best convey the vision the artist is trying to express. Hell, I couldn’t think of a better way to get at the very essence of what Paris is about: sticky pages from porn mags! The only way it could get any better would be to have a frame made out of unused condoms (because you know she doesn’t bother with those) and the packaging from Valtrex. What do you think Yeo used as glue? You decide.

When I first read about this, my immediate thought was, What, Britney’s going topless so people will throw clothes at her? Or maybe she’s going to feed the hungry with the leftover cheeseburger bits and Bacos stuck in her bellybutton? The truth is a lot more boring, since the picture of her that’s being auctioned off on eBay is actually a painting of a photo of a topless Britney. Way to pull a fast one, Britney! Actually, that painting would look awesome in my living room next to panther floor lamp. I’m off to place my bid! I sure hope they take Monopoly money.
