Um, looks like two certain someones need to get a room.

Namely, Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, who are too hot to handle on W Magazine’s April cover.

The “Bounty Hunter” co-stars’ sexy pic — way to put those dating rumors to rest — was snapped by legendary lensman Steven Klein and styled by Alex White over a two-day photo shoot in Canyon Country, Calif.

Klein also photographed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a ’60s suburban couple for the Pitt-conceptualized W cover and lengthy feature a few years back — a shoot that Aniston dubbed insensitive.

Looks like two can play that game!

Aniston also sheds her girl-next-door image in a plunging Alberta Ferretti nude silk chiffon frock paired with Carine Gilson Couture lingerie, sultry Stella McCartney garters and white Lanvin heels for a look inspired by Kim Basinger in “9 1/2 Weeks,” according to Aniston’s hairstylist, Chris McMillan.

And if you think the cover is sexy, wait until you see the inside images, which show an Agent Provocateur garter-clad Aniston being read her rights by Butler, who’s sporting a tight policeman’s uniform.

And they say crime doesn’t pay.

Aniston also rocks looks from Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana in the shoot, which marks W’s first shopping issue, giving where-to-buy details for everything the actress wears.

For your dose of steamy desert action, pick up the April issue of W, which hits stands March 17.

Meanwhile, check out Kirsten Dunst’s new cover for V.

Biore Launches Cleanser Designed for the Shower

Did you know that 60% of women wash their faces in the shower each morning?

That’s what Bioré found while researching new product ideas, so they created their new Steam Activated Cleanser, specifically designed to work with the steam in your shower.

The formula is infused with tiny, ingredient-packed ampoules that burst when they come in contact with the heat and humidity from a steamy shower, releasing fresh active ingredients to foam up and better clear away pore-clogging dirt and oil.

It’s infused with cooling mint extract which makes for an eye-opening scent and green tea extract which we’ve always liked for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

All in all, a good way to start the day.

And the beauty brand, first famous for their pore-purging blackhead strips, has also just launched a good way to end our day; Makeup Removing Towelettes, designed to make our dreaded nighttime grime removal more efficient.

Upon trying them, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the towelette (yes, we needed only one to get the job done) managed to remove all of our makeup, even the last dregs of mascara — and a waterproof one, at that. Bonus: we did not get that slightly sticky, oily feeling after using it, so there was no need to rinse after using, the way we have in the past.

And speaking of cleansing — or, rather, the lack there of — how long would you go between hair washes? Our writer reports on how she normally goes six days between washes, and gets expert opinions on whether she’s a smart sudser, or a lazy latherer.

Calvin Klein Launches Potty-Mouthed Videos To Promote New Underwear Collection

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Filed under: , ,

No stranger to controversy, Calvin Klein is launching a series of expletive-ridden videos to promote CK’s new men ’s X Underwear collection.

The brand’s new microsite, xmarkyourspot.com, features a mini-films with ripped campaign models Kellan Lutz of Twilight fame, Mehcad Brooks from True Blood, Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata.

Shot by photographer Mikael Jansson and film producer Darius Khondji in New York, the four greased-up and nearly naked men show off the Spring 2010 cotton and microfiber underwear, while baiting viewers with a string of bleep-ed out comments. A sampling, below:

You want to see my [bleep]? I’ll show you my [bleep], if you show me yours. C’mon, don’t be shy. You want to see more, you want some [bleep]ing more? You know you like that [bleep]. It’s all about the [bleep]ing Calvin’s. Calvin Klein X. Mark your spot.

Steamy enough for you?

Fans can also check out behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with each of the hunks, in which they all answer the age-old question, boxers or briefs?, and let us know how they got their bodies CK-ready.

“You just look at it and it talks sex appeal. I think the fans are really going to go kind of crazy over this,” says Lutz, 24, a boxer-briefs man who plays a vampire in the Twilight series. “I had to step away from my candy because I have a candy drawer. I had to be good and put the [gummy bears] away.”

The Calvin Klein X Underwear collection will hit stores in April 2010, at the same time that the print ads will roll out in April issues of magazines and outdoor billboards will pop up in North and South America, Europe and Asia.

The video ads, which are perhaps too racy for the U.S., will play on MTV in Spain, Italy and the U.K.

What do you think of the new Calvin ads: appropriately brash or distasteful? Let us know in a comment below.
