Who started the trend of celebrities posing nude on magazine covers?  Demi Moore!  Yep, she started the naked cover trend in August of 1991 on Vanity Fair’s cover – posing while heavily preggers.  She posed again a year later for the same magazine, and then again on Rolling Stone’s February 1995 cover.  Since then, many celebumoms (including Angelina Jolie post-Shiloh, seen above) have taken it all off – or mostly all off and shown us their famous assets.

More covers after the jump!

Why do they pose almost naked for magazines?  Do they feel the need to let the world know that they’re still hot (if they’ve posed post-baby)?  Do they need the money?  Attention seekers?  Their publicist made them?

If they’ve done all their posing pre-kids, do they now regret it?  Will they be embarrassed to tell and/or show their kids the magazine cover?
