Whether or not you agree with these Gentlemen's assessment of Valentines' Day, the fact remains that that annual cavalcade of culturally-mandated romance is almost upon us.

And while a fancy French dinner by candlelight sounds pretty romantic, don't forget that by the time she finishes that third glass of wine and you make it back home, it'll be sleepy time, not sexy time.

So we suggest that this year, you stay home and make a nice dinner for the two of you (be sure to remind her it's the thought that counts if you're clueless in the kitchen) before settling in for one of those "chick flicks" you usually hate. That way you'll be close to the bedroom when those amorous urges strike, and look like a thoughtful dude to boot.

What she doesn't need to know is that these "chick flicks" are all Mr. Skin-approved for maximum ogling potential...just don't get caught with your jaw on the floor, ok?

We've got a slew of A-list nudity this week as Miramax wallows in its awards-show glory by releasing its greatest Oscar tits- er, hits- on Blu-ray. Among he skintastic titles are Frida (2002), featuring Salma Hayek nude and lesbian, The Piano (1993), starring Holly Hunter's brown eye, The English Patient (1996) with nude stars Juliette Binoche and Kristin Scott-Thomas, Cold Mountain (2003), starring Nicole Kidman's milky-white mountains, and Shakespeare in Love (1998), with Gwyneth Paltrow naked. Phew!

Plus, they're not Oscar winners, but you'll still be rubbing your little bald man as Mischa Barton goes lesbo in You and I (2011) and Naoko Watanabe bares her rising suns in the bloody Japanese flick Outrage: Way of the Yakuza (2011), nude on DVD and Blu-ray.

As We Count Down to the 81st Annual Academy Awards on February 22nd, Mr Skin Pays Tribute to the Twenty Actresses Who Took Home Oscar Gold for Films in Which They Flashed Flesh

Generally, French actresses can be counted on to flaunt their flesh. No less than 21 French filles have made it into Mr Skin's Hall of Fame, one of them being the lovely Juliette Binoche. One of the nude scenes that helped earn her that honor—The English Patient—also brought her a shining gold statue for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Jules's only other Oscar nomination—for Best Actress in a Leading Role this time—came thanks to Chocolat, a completely skin-free role. Luckily that didn't deter Juliette's peeling, which is still prolific. Thanks for consistently putting a trophy in Mr Skin's lap, Juliette!
