McLean to the O'Connell bros.) kicked off the dripping, Kiehl's-showered evening with a very detailed and daring scavenger hunt. Tackling the lurid list of tasks as a team were sizzling Shannon Elizabeth and her rasta hub-unit, Joe Reitman, who paired with cutie-pie Elisha Cuthbert and her beefo b-f , Andrew Keegan. And here's where things get downright--let's just say it, shall we?--nekkid. As I'm afraid the hunt required a pic of the entire team stripped down to their barest essentials. Hmmm. Wonder if that's why buds Cris Judd and Wilmer Valderrama showed up lickety-split... Not overly eagerly (just a little bit), the formerly mentioned foursome dropped their duds and, with a bashful bit of ado, traipsed their tight bums into the chilly swimming pool belonging to a local (game) celeb. Of course, they attempted to cover their pert parts with their hands--but wowzas, was there plenty of shimmering and scintillating skin." - EOnline.com
