Topless Review of 2011

The Topless Review was originally an attempt to keep a record of all the celebrity uncoverings that occur in Newspapers, Magazines, and on Television in the current year.  However in more recent years coverage of Newspapers has fallen away due to a combination of reduced awareness of anything of relevance and seemingly less instances of what used to be a fairly frequent event.  Magazines even more so.

Therefore it is only now the Television section that retains any concerted effort to be as comprehensive as possible.

Also see the TV & British Actresses pages for a comprehensive coverage of movies.
