I always wanted to be a hand model...

Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine likes to be naked, or at least that's what he told Cosmopolitan UK when he posed (mostly) in the buff for the current edition: "I spend most of my life naked. In fact, I often have to be told by the people around me that it's inappropriate to be as naked as I am. But I live in California, where it's always warm, so why not?"

Levine is putting his sculpted, tattooed body to good use in the lady mag, raising awareness about prostate and testicular cancer. I guess the image of Levine getting his package cupped by a pair of scarlet-manicured hands is supposed to encourage men to get their junk checked by a doctor. Mmmkay.

Rumor has it that it's Levine's girlfriend, model Anne Vyalitsyna, covering his privates. You can see also see her in a recent Maroon 5 video, beating the crap out of Levine. Apparently Levine likes to be naked and pushed around. . . I'm liking him more every second.
