Though painfully hot brunettes Gina Gershon and Elizabeth Hurley aren't twins, they are both sharing a birthday today (under the sign of Gemini) and both have earned a place in the coveted Mr. Skin Hall of Fame.

Gina burned her way into my heart with scorching sapphist-icated performances in a pair of movies nearly as sublime as her pair of boobies.

Liz hasn't gone lez, but she definitely got me playing with my piccolo way back in 1987 as Marietta in the operatic comedy-drama Aria.
