March 17, 2005 -- LEONARD Nimoy (above) is publishing another book of kinky nude photographs — and this time he's focusing on an obese burlesque troupe, "The Fat Bottom Revue." The "Star Trek" star says he showed his massive models classic nude works by Herb Ritts and Helmut Newton, then asked them to comport themselves in similar poses. "They are interested in fat liberation," the former Mr. Spock says. "Their self-esteem is strong. They will tell you that too many people suffer because the body they live in is not the body you find in the fashion magazines." In 2003, Nimoy's religiously-tinged "Shekhina" drew comparisons to the likes of Robert Mapplethorpe and Andres Serrano.
