Why didnt she wear pasties? Or is the picture fake?


Im guessing everyone knows what picture im thinking of. I doubt I can link to the topless-pic, but whatever.
Is the picture a fake, or did they film a topless-scene that they eventually cut?
Anyone know?

I can't be sure of the actual facts, but it's my understanding they shot it with her topless, but I don't think we were supposed to see that. It was supposed to be cleverly shot and matted out. It's my understanding that the full screen version of the DVD has the alleged topless scene in it. But then I think when the studio or producers found out they pulled as many of the full screen copies as possible and redistributed them with the correction. I'm not sure about this, but that's all net rumor.

Oh, and sorry for the late reply. I only came here because of the latest controversy over the Wanderlust nude scenes being pulled and then out of curiosity came to check this out.

Pulling that Wanderlust scene is pretty fked up. HUGE disappointment once again.

It's common when filming for the camera man to film much more than what makes it into the final cut. It has to do with the dimensions of the camera. This was a pretty standard procedure where they filmed her nude with the intention to only show the upper part of her chest with no nudity. Someone on set must've gotten away with a still shot of the original footage and posted it online. Happens..

As for her wearing pasties.. I don't know.. I guess it wouldn't have mattered since she was fully nude when filming that. They show her bare ass from behind. Would be kind of weird for her to put on pasties when her beaver is completely exposed.

Maybe they where going for a more vulgar movie first with nudity but decided that it was better to get the big Green G(don't know how you call it in the states... but here its the all audience rating) Maybe Aniston didn't want in the end to appear naked... in any case at least we go a pic.. but i wish this scene would had show more...lol

As far as "nudity" is concerned, Brazil has a famous Carnival dancer who performs at the start of the parade each year through the Sambadrome(sp?) that made the news for wearing the smallest required covering, (so she could perform in the big parade!). The "modesty patch" dimensions were 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inches.
Using scientific terms, both the anus and vagina MUST be covered, and that is what was needed to prevent her from violating the "no nudity" regulations and laws. (Just don't expect to see her 'unblurred' on American TV, but on international E!)

Now in the USA... how would anyone watching most "R" rated movies know if a female was wearing such a "modesty patch", and therefore not "nude"? (Bonus question: Are the body painted women in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition considered "nude"? No? Yes? Maybe?)
Suffice to say there are different standards in different places, and Hollywood tends to "call" mere toplessnes 'nudity', and sometimes even the (dreaded) "plumber's crack" (or equivalent) 'nudity' again. Liv Tyler was on the Johnny Carson Show, and when he asked about her "nudity" in the movie STEALING BEAUTY, she flatly stated she was not nude! He flashed an odd look, and quickly moved on,(realizing she was right).

And the actress or actor makes a difference as well. For instance, Roseanna Arquette did a Playboy photo pictorial for EUROPEAN Playboy, and required that those pictures would never be in the USA Playboy magazine or other products. She's not against doing the photos, just doesn't want all the commotion of having them in the USA. Imagine that...

And one would think Jennifer Aniston is 'warming up' for a career in politics with the way she likes to talk about her "nudity" being in movies! It is hype to get bodies in the seats, ala the old "Greatest Show On Earth for one thin dime".
(For those that don't know)
There was no show, and the audience was told they would look foolish in front of their friends and neighbors for being taken that way, but, wouldn't it be a cheap price to pull a prank on their friends and neighbors by telling them it actually WAS 'the greatest show on earth', and they needed to see it too! Of course there was plenty of 'coached' OOOHs, AAAHS, and cheering going on. Naturally there were no refunds, and pretty much everyone in town ended up paying their dime...
