Collectors' edition: Sophia Loren in the Pirelli calendar
ITALY's ***iest septuagenarian, film star Sophia Loren, has become the world's oldest pin-up girl, stripping off for the 2007 Pirelli calendar.
Expatriate Australian star Naomi Watts also features in the limited-edition collectors' calendar, along with Spanish actor Penelope Cruz and American Oscar-winner Hilary Swank.
Cropped promotional photographs released by the Italian tyre-maker yesterday show 72-year-old Loren lying on a bed in her negligee.
"When they asked me to do it, I laughed a lot at first," Loren said at the launch in London yesterday. "I was a bit scared and asked lots of questions - what sort of photos would they be? But then I thought, 'Who cares? I'm doing it'."
Awarded an Oscar for lifetime achievements, the curvaceous and sultry Loren has appeared in more than 100 films in her 50-year career. She remains the only Italian-born actor to have conquered Hollywood.
The tasteful black-and-white portraits, shot in California by Dutch fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, are a demure departure from Pirelli's often risque pin-ups of some of the world's most sensual women. Kate Moss posed topless in this year's calendar, which also featured entertainer Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen.
The English-born Watts, who grew up in Australia and lives in Los Angeles, is shot for next year's edition hugging a pillow, in an image Pirelli describes as "sleek and sophisticated".
The much-hyped calendar, reserved for Pirelli's VIP and celebrity customers, was launched as a promotional tool in 1964 and quickly became one of the most coveted commissions for top models and celebrity photographers.

Loren voted most beautiful
Still commanding attention: Sophia Loren in Canada this week
Screen legend Sophia Loren has been voted the world's most beautiful woman.
In an age where youth is everything, the 65-year-old actress won a victory for maturity by beating a host of younger stars for prime position in a poll carried out by UK beauty company Beautiko.

She was joined in the Top Five by two other older beauties - Joanna Lumley, 53, and Raquel Welch, 59.
Caroline Quinn of Beautiko said: "It is a surprising accolade for the more mature stars who have made sure that they still look stunning in their 50s and 60s.
"Sophia Loren, Joanna Lumley and Raquel Welch typify a generation of women who manage to defy the years."
The firm compiled a Top 20 list from a poll of more than 3,000 UK men and women aged between 20 and 40. It will use the results to help in its wider research into attitudes to looks at the close of the century.
Glamorous "granny" Loren beat Liz Hurley to the top spot with Cindy Crawford in third place. Fourth was Pretty Woman Julia Roberts, closely followed by the Absolutely Fabulous Joanna Lumley.

Michelle Pfeiffer, Caprice and Raquel Welch were ahead of Catherine Zeta Jones in the Top 10, in which Gwyneth Paltrow came last.
Countdown number-cruncher Carol Vorderman proved that brains can be attractive by coming in at Number 17, ahead of Coronation Street's Tracy Shaw and Titantic songstress Celine Dion.
While the cool sophistication of Queen Noor of Jordan earned her the Number 20 slot.
Anthony Edwards, who helped Beautiko devise the poll, thinks that asking an equal number of men as women had a significant bearing on the results.
"Young women today may look at someone like Sophia Loren and admire the way she looks, but they aspire more to being ***y, pretty or a ladette," he says.

He continues: "Men however seem to be looking for something more. They are taking better care of themselves and what they want and admire in women are looks that are classically beautiful."
The list, with photographs of the 20 women who attracted the public vote, will be placed in Europe's largest time capsule, the 100 cubic metre Millennium Vault.
This will be sealed for 1,000 years at the start of the millennium and will present a broad spectrum of 20th century trends for the people of the year 3000.
