Eva Mendes was featured in two racy Calvin Klein ads in both 2010 and 2011. The latter, which featured Mendes topless, was reportedly banned from American TV.

Waka Flocka went hard in the paint for the animals. Literally. As part of a 2011 “Ink Not Pink” campaign, Flocka appeared in an advertisement featuring nothing more than his diamond jewelry covering his family jewels.

Beyonce has been flashing the goods way before she started ordering her driver to roll up the partition. Commercials for her Heat signature fragrance were banned from being shown before 7:30 pm on British television.

In 2010, Kim Kardashian starred in one of Carl’s Jr’s infamous commercials. It wasn’t the first time someone wrote her a check for flashing some buns.

Much like the folks at Instagram, skin care company Nivea dropped Rihanna in 2012 due to her racy image. Bad girl, Ri-ri.

Maroon 5 lead singer stripped to the bone (pun intended) as part of a prostate exam awareness campaign by Everyman. The strategically placed arm of his girlfriend was the only thing keeping him from being totally nude.

Before she began gloriously twerking in her forties, Jennifer Lopez unleashed her Glo by J-Lo fragrance wearing only a scarf.

Milk may do a body good, but this pause-worthy “Got Milk?” ad didn’t do much for Nelly.
Megan Fox helped set off the 2010 Super Bowl by appearing in a bathtub with her phone and nothing else.

Technically this one was cheating, as Radio Shack repurposed Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” for a Beats Pill ad featuring model/actress Emily Ratjowski. You know you want it.

The ad that started it all featured the man formerly known as “Marky Mark” making his transition into Mark Walhberg by transitioning out of his pants.
