Thank you W mag!

Sexy British actor Michael Fassbender took it all off for a recent shoot with the fashion mag's February 2012 issue of W magazine that leaves very little to the imagination.

The 34-year-old star is used to appearing in his birthday suit, telling W, "From the start of my career, I've been naked. My first job was a commercial for SAS airlines. In the spot, I wake up in a pink room next to a beautiful blonde girl and get out of bed naked. From that point forward, it’s been in all of my contracts: He must be naked in this film."

We're not complaining!

The actor also spoke about his role in the upcoming film Shame, costarring Carey Mulligan. "I must admit—I initially thought it might be fun. You hear ‘sex,’ and you think…sex! But this was definitely the hardest job I’ve done."

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Randy Jackson Granted Extension For $600K Child Support Case Against Baby Mama's Wishes

Posted on Fri Jan 20th, 2012 10:40am PDT       By X17 Staff

jackson092610_01_X17newcolorfix.jpgRandy Jackson and the mother of his two children, Alejandra, faced off in an LA courtroom Friday morning over a $600k child support judgement that was awarded to her back in December 1990. The judge ended up siding with Randy.

In court, Alejandra had said her daughter was born in 1999, which would make her 13. However, Jackson's lawyers clarified the age. Since their youngest child, Genevieve, is 22 and an adult ... the judge didn't force Michael's brother to hand over any money, and instead, postponed the case until May 25.

Alejandra claims Randy has not paid his $1,200-a-month child support in years and as a result, the amount now exceeds $600k.

Randy filed a countersuit claiming that Alejandra agreed to a deal back in 1993 that would allow her to live comfortably at the Jackson Encino home instead of receiving payments. This included cooks, maids, food and use of luxury cars. In Randy's suit, it says Alejandra and her kids have lived "like kings and queens at Randy Jackson's expense."

A Jackson insider tells X17online exclusively:

    "Randy is a great dad, and his kids are well taken care of. He's excited to get this over with and move on."


Randy never married Alejandra, but they had two children together. Alejandra then went ahead and married his brother Jermaine, against his will and knowledge ... and had two kids with him. Now, after almost two decades, we're told "she's after money from both brothers."
