I don't see how it would.  Scripts that call for boob shots are normally straight to DVD horror films of blonde bimbos having sex with another blonde bimbo.
Sure there are exceptions, but especially after having a kid, I don't see why she would want to objectify herself like that.
I won't lose respect for her if she does do it, considering she's an actress first & foremost, but I do see it as unnecessary. Perhaps if an important film that does need that comes about, I'll change my mind.

I truly understand what you're saying. I just don't support nudity and especially not on Hilary.

My favorite actress Jessica Chastain has a movie that just went to Cannes were she had to get naked for the role and she also has a movie with Al Pachino were she has nudity, it's not all low budget movies that have those types of scenes. (Keep in mind that I am not comparing Hilary to Jessica, I am just saying that sometimes nudity can be seen in high quality movies.) Sometimes scripts do call for nudity and it not just be about "Oh look we got [Insert celebrity name here] naked come and see" If Hilary wants to be taken seriously as an actress, she is really going to have to let herself go into the character completely, now I am not saying that she has to do nudity but it's really time for her to buckle down with the movies she is doing and get lost into that character, like she did with Yonica and Greta. The point is: if it's nudity that goes alone with the storyline, properly done, and allows Hilary to completely get lost in the character, why not do it? The queen will still be classy to me at the end of the day because she is an actress.

That's fine, we all don't always have to agree but I respect your POV and I am glad that we can have these type of discussions about Hilary and her career.

I just don't see it happening. Maybe before she became married and had a child, but not now.
Regardless of if she does shoot a film like that or not, I'll be here to see it.

That's why there's body doubles.

Hilary's body > Some unknown chick who can't compare to what the queen has to give to the world.

I'm gonna need one more movie, with a couple soundtrack songs, then an album and full tour.
Edit: and this album will have NO PREVIOUSLY RELEASED SONGS. No remixes of old songs either. Just 12-15 new tracks.

I have been saying this for awhile now. Movie then music.

Right? I don't know why fans stay wanting Holiday or Any Other Day on the next album. Those songs are great but seriously - old music over new music?
On another note, I would love some songs recorded for her next film's soundtrack. 2 new songs at least and that'll tide me over.

I wouldn't mind having Holiday or Any Other Day on there BUT only as bonus tracks but clearly that won't happen so I will be happy with 14 new songs.
Discussion Question: How many songs do you think should be on Hilary's next album?
I think 14 is a great number, Dignity was perfect with that amount of songs, sometimes I felt like her self-titled album was just a little TOO long and some of the songs could have been taken out to make the album flow better.

Yeah her self-titled album was a little long.
I'm here for a 13 track standard album with 4 bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.

Her self titled album did have a lot of songs on it. Why is it that people don't like when albums have a lot of songs? I personally like the fact that an album has 15 - 20 songs.

I like it, but it gives reviewers and individuals who are casual fans of the artist more incentive to only check out a few tracks and base their opinions on that.
Not only that, they're usually more expensive, leading music buyers to prefer to illegally download the album. More tracks are ideal for fans, but not for the general music buying public.

I just think when you have an album that has a lot of songs on it, sometimes it ruins the quality of an album because there is always going to be one or two songs that simply don't fit. With her self-titled album we really didn't need Cry at all but that's the only song I can think of that was not needed at this moment.
