Owen Wilson and Vince Vaugn are delighted to see...
...that bridesmaid Rachel McAdams has avoided the tanning bed.
A trait she wisely shares with fair femme, Nicole Kidman.
The 2005 MTV movie awards breakthrough female winner is actress Rachel McAdams. This comely Canadian, who turned heads in "Mean Girls" & "The Notebook," now plays a bridesmaid wooed by Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn's "Wedding Crashers." Appropriately, the MTV trophy was presented by Skinema lifetime achievement honoree Nicole Kidman. Like Kidman, who has rallied from a potentially wrinkle-inducing childhood in sun drenched Australia, McAdams has shunned the tanned tone. Instead, she has opted to stay fetchingly fair, minimizing her risk of furrows, sun spots, and skin cancer.

Recent reports have generated controversy about sun avoidance. Vitamin D, necessary for strong bones, can be produced by skin irradiated by the sun. One scientist claims that a short time laying out should be endured to insure adequate body levels of vitamin D. We at skinema.com don't agree. If one has little skin pigment, even a small amount of exposure can result in a damaging burn. And since the UVA "tanning" rays have been shown to increase the risk of wrinkling and melanoma, we agree with the American Academy of Dermatology's recent policy statement: Since Vitamin D is also available in foods, such as milk, fortified OJ, & certain types of fish, or can be taken as a supplement, those concerned can get their D from Diet rather than Damaging rays. Don't play radiation roulette: if you're fair as Rachel McAdams, stay glam, avoid the tan.
