I don't know what got into these girls, but I sure am not complaining! First, Hayden Panettiere gives us her hottest bikini pictures ever, then Rihanna strips down to some pretty sexy underwear, plus the added bonus of some pretty cheeky posing, and now Christina Applegate has added her name to the list of celebrities who have stripped for PETA in the name of animal protection. And we absolutely don't mind - on the contrary, I had actually missed Christina's attitude - and this ad is actually quite interesting. Really very, very hot.

Christina Applegate admitted that she posed nude for PETA in a bid to stop shoppers from buying anything involving fur this Christmas. The actress is depicted wearing a pair of red gloves with green cuffs - and not much else except that - for the animal rights group's e-card. Christina decided to make a stand and pose for the raunchy campaign because of the respect she has for animals. The e-card she is featured on actually reads: "Cross cruelty off your shopping list by avoiding fur coats, collars, and cuffs (unless it's fake fur of course)". And I'm sure many of us will think twice about buying anything made with animal fur after taking a look at the e-card featuring Christina.

The actress told People magazine: "My house has been basically a zoo since I was a kid. Everything I wear has dog hair all over it, and that's just the way it is!". Christina also said she decided to become a vegetarian at the time when she was on the set of the US TV sitcom "Married With Children", which happened when she was a teenager. "I realized I can't eat something that has been alive", she said. "So I stopped, and that was it. That was the last time".

Christina is following in the footsteps of Alicia Silverstone, Alyssa Milano, Maggie Q and Dominique Swain by stripping off for the charity. It's actually become trademark of the animal rights group to associate itself with beautiful women who are willing to take the stand and make a point with a little help from their own charms. Naked women and a good cause. It's the moral equivalent of a two for one! I told you holiday season was the best time of the year...
