What's common between 'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi, 'E!' talk show host Chelsea Handler and 'Dollhouse' star Eliza Dushku? Not too much but the three bombshells each stripped for the May issue of Allure a.k.a the Nude Issue; this issue showcases famous women in provocative, yet tasteful nude photo sessions! They all had something to say about doing this too!

The suggestive TV ad about Padma Lakshmi doing food porn is one thing; but Padma just loves being foxy! An excerpt from Allure's interview should confirm this:

ALLURE: Do you sleep naked?

PL: "I tend to sleep in the nude. I'm an innately tactile person and a very sensual-leaning woman. You have to use the word 'leaning' or it sounds like I'm boasting! When I'm in my own private space, I do spend time with very little on."

'E' talk show host Chelsea is a fantastic stand-up comedian but she's equally beautiful, don't you agree? When asked about her favorite body part, she said, "...my boobs are good. They're real and perky." The 34-year-old literary beauty has a current bestseller in her book "Are You There, Vodka?"

Check out Padma Lakshmi on Allure after the jump.

Eliza Dushku's composed posture brings out a soulful and consummate professional; too sexy for the photograph! She says, "...I'll strip down to my underwear and my Ugg boots when I eat lunch in my trailer."! Dushku, 28, grew up in a conservative Mormon family though and says the naked shoot made her more nervous for her grandmother than for herself! She has six tattoos; you get to see only one though!

Also posing in the magazine are 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' star Lynn Collins and Sharon Leal who appeared on 'Private Practice'!

What is it with celebrity nudity? One thing's for sure-these babes just love to be photographed! Feast your sockets on these nude bombs!
