Don't tell Mama, but according to the New York Post's Page Six, Cabaret star Alan Cumming has bared all for an upcoming calendar to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The paper reports that the star of stage and screen, along with other big name celebs, recently posed nude for photographer Rob Klein to support the worthy cause. And according to a showgirl who was present at the photo shoot, Cumming's pic may just be the highlight of the 2015 almanac. "He's a beautiful man," said the onlooker.

The Post also reports that actress Emma Stone, who will join the cast of 'Cabaret' beginning this November, will also take part in the calendar however, unlike her co-star, she will be fully clothed!
