2007 Pirelli Calendar released
We thought we heard rumblings that the 2007 Pirelli Calendar was on its way, but it turns out we missed its official debut that occured on November 16th. No worries, though, as our friends over at Jalopnik tipped us off to its arrival. If you click the read link you'll be taken to the Pirelli Calender Club website where you can view all 26 photos in this year's calendar. The models include five of tinsel town's most talented ladies: Sophia Loren (trust us, she looks 100x better than the shot at right taken at the calendar's premier), Penelope Cruz, Hilary Swank, Naomi Watts and Lou Doillon (who?). The photographers responsible for this year's snaps are the Dutch duo of Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and their vision is marked departure from recent editions of the Pirelli Calendar. Known in the past for featuring nude or topless shots of the world's most desireable women, this year's edition drops the glitz and glamour and puts each model in a room with a bed and a sheet. Sure, there's a nipple here and some arse there, but as the Jalop guys point out, "the whole calendar's pretty tame compared to past years' nip-slip mania. Damn puritan culture cycles." Seriously, and our sincere thanks go out to Adobe, creator of Photoshop CS2, which no doubt had a hand in Ms. Loran's transformation. [Source: Pirelli Calendar Club via Jalopnik]

Dude, they're all in the same bed. I hope someone changed the sheets. No telling where some of these girls have been. One of 'em slept with Cruise. That's enough to bring out the Clorox.

Loren is a hundred, Cruz looks like a rat woman, and Swank is not hot. This looks like one nasty calendar.

Lou Doillon is the daughter
of Jane Birkin, who later
married Serge Gainsbourg.
Although this may not help your
readers who may not know any
of these people.

Granted, I'm not a fan of some of these shots but, you have to admit, for 72 Sophia Loren is stunning. I hope my wife looks like that at 72!

You loosers complaining about how nasty these girls are, need to have your heads examined!
I bet that Sophia Loren looks 10x better that anything you loosers are dating or married too - and she's 72!!

Hey, if you're going to spank it to a septuagenarian, you can do much worse than Sophia Loren.

I think there`s a lot of homosexuals here.
That explans why anyone who drives a pickup is considered a redneck.
Beautiful women are ugly.

Many people think a lot of this year's calendar since it's selling on ebay for close to $600!! and many bidders!! I wish I had one to sell. Every year!!
I think I know who Serge Gainsbourg is/was. I used to listen to a certain Alan or Serge Gainsbourg when I was growing up. He used to sing French songs.
