Some people say you can never be too rich or too skinny; we say you can never have enough coffee table books. They're an instant injection of chicness into the drabbest of spaces—even if you can't afford Tom Ford, at least you can have that graphic book of his. So consider our hearts getting a little Speedy Gonzalez with the launch of famed, fabulous portrait photographer Johnny Roza's new tome,
Untouched
(and there's comments by Susan Sarandon!), full of pictures of all of your favorite stars. What makes this offering so unique is that the images of celebs were shot by Rozsa back when star shooting didn't go hand-in-hand with insane air-brushing and a gaggle of breathing-down-your-neck publicists managing the entire process—meaning you get a stripped-down, real, and, well, untouched look at some of the most famous faces of the day. Look for Halle Berry flashing her ass, a never-before-seen scar on Catherine Zeta Jones, and a candid shot of Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett getting intimate. Also on tap are superstars like the Jackson Five, Eva Gabor, Winona Ryder, and a clutch of the biggest '80s London luminaries—Andrea Dellal, Manolo Blahnik, Boy George, and Johnny Rotten—in unreleased pics. Once you flip to the very first page, you're not going to want to stop..umm...touching it.
