A good rule of thumb on Deceiver is that naked chicks mean lots of clicks (are you listening, Carrie Prejean?). I’m thinking that will hold true for Mary Louise Parker, who plays pot-dealing MILF Nancy Botwin on Showtime’s Weeds.

Mary Louise Parker bared her breasts as Nancy in two episodes last season, most notably in the season finale during a revealing conversation with her brother-in-law Andy (played awesomely by Justin Kirk).

But in last month’s issue of More magazine, MLP claimed she was “goaded” into the unnecessary nudity:

She’d been fine with the series’ wildly erotic sex scenes, she says, but the shot in the bathtub in which the camera lingered on her breasts seemed intended to titillate. “I didn’t think I needed to be naked, and I fought with the director about it, and now I’m bitter,” she says. “I knew it was going to be on the Internet: ‘Mary Louise shows off her big nipples.’ I wish I hadn’t done that. I was goaded into it.”

What a difference a month makes.

Go ahead and click here for NSFW photos of her baking a pie in the August issue of Esquire. (This isn’t her first strip down the block either.) In my inexpert opinion, she doesn’t look like she had to be asked twice.
