The lineup for the 2011 edition of spanktastic classic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue was announced last night on the Late Show with David Letterman!

This year's cover cutie is 25-year-old model Irina Shayk; this is her fifth appearance in the Swimsuit Issue, but her first time on the cover. The lovely Irina, born Irina Shaykhlislamova (say that three times fast), hails from the province of Chelyabinsk, Russia, where it is decidedly too cold to frolic in a bikini. Luckily someone had the good sense to send her to Hawaii, where she was photographed for Sports Illustrated in a series of skimpy bikinis.

Irina caused a stir last year by suing GQ Spain, claiming the magazine Photoshopped "tasteful" photos of her in a lingerie bodysuit to create the illusion that she had been snapped in the buff. C'mon, Irina, embrace your naked body. We'd sure like to.

When Irina comes to her senses and appears nude, she'll be in good company. 1985 cover girl Paulina Porizkova lost her bikini top in the films Thursday and Knots, and 3-time cover girl Elle Macpherson embraced the three B's in 1994's Sirens.

More sandy sirens after the jump!

The 2010 Emmy Awards rolled out a smashing array of today’s top (and occasionally topless) boob tube beauties.

Join Mr. Skin now in looking back through the decades of nude tele-visions from previous eras: specifically 1980, 1990 and 2000.

1980

The big trophies went to Dallas for outstanding drama andTaxi for best comedy series.

Both those classics contain female cast members who have broadcast their bare bodies in other roles.

Among the Dallas divas who brought forth gushers by stripping on-screen are Victoria Principal (nude in the ultra-rare The Naked Ape), Linda Gray (who went full-frontal in a stage production of The Graduate), and Jenilee Harrison (you won’t be cursing as you dive into her topless bath in Curse III).

Taxi’s Marilu Henner flashes her bodacious front bumpers opposite Burt Reynolds in The Man Who Loved Women.
