Johansson: 'Make my butt look great'

Scarlett Johansson was so insecure about having her bum on show in the opening sequence to hit film 'Lost in Translation', she resorted to bribing the artistic director to make it look flattering.

The award-winning actress, who plays a Lolita-type temptress in the 2004 production, told the man in charge of the slow, lingering sequence panning over her semi-transparent knickers, to make her bum look pretty - or he would lose his job.

She says, "I told the director of photography that if he made my arse look bad he'd never work again!

"He was like, 'I promise you - it will look really nice.' I said, 'OK, I'm trusting you,' and he came through. My arse looked OK."

Gemma Atkinson plans chocolate treat for boyfriend

Janice Dickinson, who claims to have had 1,000 lovers - has been giving Gemma Atkinson bedroom tricks in the jungle.

The former supermodel reckons a bar of choccie is a very erotic thing to smother all over your body.

'Janice was on about using melted chocolate,' Gemma told co-contestant J, reports the Daily Star.

'She said I should roll about in it. It sounds amazing. But to be quite honest, I'd probably be far too busy eating it.'

The ex-Hollyoaks beauty, 23 - who was linked to Cristiano Ronaldo - is now rumoured to be dating Marcus Bent.

Britney Spears' Vagina To Write Its Own Monologue

Britney Spears, the snot-nosed Princess of Pop, has revealed her plans to enter into the world of literary excellence by contributing to the Vagina Monologues - with a piece written by her very own vagina.

Spears, unable to write herself, has had her vagina produce the monologue independently and 'in its spare time', so that her busy schedule of court appearances and drug rehab visits is not compromised.

Indeed, the Spears' vagina is thought to be interested in developing a solo career, possibly in literature, but more probably in modelling, having been photographed many times in the past when its owner, dressed in the shortest of skirts, emerged from parked cars.

No details of the monologue are known as yet, but it's bound to be a hit.

Literist or clitorist, it seems that the future is extremely bright for Miss Spears' vagina, which is more than can be said for Britney herself.

Heidi Klum's breast boast

The supermodel Heidi Klum can be seen playing with her breasts in the new TV commercial for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

In the 30 second clip, the 34-year-old blonde - clad only in a plain black bra - fondles and jiggles her ample boobs as she sings, dances, yodels and announces "I've got great knockers!"

After explaining how her nipples stand to attention when it's cold, Heidi shouts: "You guys have no clue about boobs, and if you don't..."

Heidi then grabs her chest and makes a machine gun sound as she aims her breasts left and right, in the manner of a fembot killer robot from the 'Austin Powers' films, who could fire bullets from their breasts.

The commercial ends with v grinning as she declares: "Great knockers, I loooove it!"

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show airs on December 4.

Heidi is not embarrassed to talk about her sexuality and womanly desires.

She recently revealed she was first attracted to husband Seal after seeing his impressive "package" in a pair of tiny, tight shorts.

Heidi confessed: "I met him in a hotel lobby in New York City and he came in from the gym and I was sitting there and I was, like, 'Wow!'

"He was wearing bicycle shorts and I pretty much saw everything. The whole package."

The couple have two sons, two-year-old Henry and Johan, who is one today (22.11.07). Heidi also has a three-year-old daughter, Leni, from a previous relationship.

Angelina Jolie's adopted baby 'result of rape'

Angelina Jolie's adopted Ethiopian daughter was conceived after her mother was raped as she walked home from work, it has been reported.

wo-year-old Zahara was born after her mother, Mentwabe Dawit, was assaulted in the darkness by a man who trapped her on a path outside the southern Ethiopian town of Awasa in 2004.

“He pulled a dagger, put one hand on my mouth, so that I could not scream. He then raped me and disappeared,” Mentwabe told Reuters in Awasa, 170 miles south of Addis Ababa.

The 24-year-old decided to keep the assault a secret.

Her attacker has not been traced.

“I feared the consequences of being raped in a community where rape is considered a taboo, even if what happened happened forcibly,” she said, tears streaming down her face.

Despite her fears, her own mother was supportive and helped her give birth in the family’s earth-floored house.

She named the child Yemsrach, meaning good news in Ethiopia’s Amharic language, but soon found that she could not care for the baby and fled the family home in shame.

“I was desperate and decided to run away, rather than see my child dying,” she said.

Mentwabe’s distraught mother eventually put Yemsrach up for adoption, in the belief her own daughter had died.

Her adoptive parents, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, changed the baby’s name to Zahara.

Now reunited with her mother, Miss Dawit said that she was very happy that her daughter is now a part of one of Hollywood’s most famous families.

“I think [she] is a very fortunate human being to be adopted by a world famous lady. I wish them both all the success they deserve,” she said.

Vanessa Hudgens: "My vagina is a wormhole to fame"

High School Musical starlet Vanessa Hudgens has told admirers on her social networking site that shagging her is a sure-fire way to Hollywood stardom:

"My vagina is like a wormhole to stardom, guys," the starstruck actress tells admirers.

"I'm really interested in the stars," Vanessa continues.

"And in Hollywood astrology a wormhole is a topological feature of the kinda space/time continuum that is a shortcut to instant fame and riches.

"Look it up in the encyclopaedia for yourselves: A wormhole has at least two mouths connected to a single throat. Kinda provocative, hey! All them erotic bodily fluids...

"The wormhole is traversable, all kindsa matter can travel from one mouth to the other by passing through the throat. Sure glad ya can't get pregnant that way though!"

Hudgens' networking page has been inundated with thousands of hopefuls pleading for recognition of their stellar abilities.

"Maybe she'll host a contest to pick her wormhole astro-partner," a PR source added helpfully today.

Gemma: Why I just can't keep my boyfriends

Glamour model Gemma Atkinson has admitted to being dumped a lot because boyfriends find her cold and unaffectionate.

The former Hollyoaks actress opened up to three of her fellow contestants while they were locked in a 4x4 with the doors and windows shut for last night's endurance test.

As the conversation between herself, John Burton Race, Katie Hopkins and Jason "J" Brown turned to boys needing lots of cuddles from women in their life, the 23-year-old former partner of Manchester United star Ronaldo said: "I'm told in every relationship that I'm not affectionate.

"And most of my relationships have broken down because the guy says I don't give them enough. It's because I work all the time.

I don't even put a kiss on a text message. I don't tell him what he means to me, although I feel it. I just struggle to show it with people and every single relationship I have been in has broken down for that reason."

When chef Burton Race assured her she wasn't cold, she added: "No, it's just I don't know how to express it. I don't want a guy who needs to be with me 24/7."

Meanwhile, as the four endured the bush battle for a chance to be immune from the first public vote, Rodney Marsh and Janice Dickinson put on a rare show of unity as they faced the bushtucker trial together.

After clashing in the camp over a "battle of the sexes", the pair put their differences behind them for the latest challenge which involved them crawling along a cable suspended high above the jungle canopy.

And while Dickinson made her way with ease, collecting and dropping flags to Marsh below, he struggled and kept falling off, resulting in them winning just two stars to take back to camp.

Marsh said: "I don't think I've ever done anything as physically demanding as this. To all those people who voted for me, I've got one thing to say: b******s."

Jessica Simpson wants a man with a...

Men who want to date Jessica Simpson, then better make sure that they have cute bottoms, for that’s the first attribute the singer will be checking out.


Also high up on the singer’s list of priorities for her man is that he should not only be a family man, but also be willing to be put under the scanner by her grandparents.

“Like, if a kid were to come up to him and tug on his shirt, he’d pick him up on twirl him around. I definitely love a family man, a guy that’s not afraid to pick up the babies,” a website quoted her, as saying on a talk show. “And somebody who wants to meet my grandparents immediately... if he has a cute butt, that’s all right,” she added.

For the moment however, Simpson has no plans for planning another wedding, for she just too busy making music. “I’m kind of married to my music right now and focusing on writing an album,” she said.

Supermodel plans 'naked Sundays' with hubby

Supermodel Heidi Klum wants to have "naked Sundays" with her husband Seal.

The German supermodel is planning to follow in Christina Aguilera's footsteps and spend one day a week as nature intended.

She said: "You know Christina Aguilera has 'Naked Sundays'? I might have to copy her and do that. I'll do 'Seal and Heidi's Naked Sunday'."

Heidi and her Crazy singer husband - who have two sons, Henry, two, and 11-month-old Johan, as well as Heidi's three-year-old daughter Leni from a previous relationship - recently revealed baby Johan is ruining their sex life.

Seal said: "Our youngest is now 11 months old, so I've told Heidi we're booting him out of the bedroom. I'm not having it any more. This is the longest time I've known Heidi without her being pregnant. She's got her body back and it's real good fun!"

Heidi, 34, also joked Britney Spears had given her parenting tips when the Gimme More singer arrived uninvited to the Victoria's Secret model's Halloween party at Los Angeles' Green Door lounge.

Heidi sarcastically told US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres: "We were talking about babies and diapers and she explained to me a lot of things about diapers I that didn't know.

"You know these sticky things on the side? I never knew that they were there. To close them in the front, I was always putting string around. I had no idea.

"It's very clever. I learned a lot of things."

Jessica Alba has a crush on Johnny Depp

Jessica Alba revealed on a US TV music show that she has a crush on Johnny Depp.

The Sin City star revealed her admiration of Depp on MTV’s TRL.

She said: “I have a huge crush on him. When I saw him at the Golden Globes I made eye contact with him, and got all flustered.”

She added: “Of all the men in the business, he is my favourite.”

Johnny Deep is rumored to be starring in the sequel to Sin City, but Alba, 26, says she doesn’t know if that’s true.”

Alba said: “I don’t know. I sure hope so!”

During the live broadcast, Alba proved to be a whiz at the board game Operation, successfully completing the task that was set for her.

Alba was appearing on TRL to promote her latest movie Awake, starring opposite Star Wars actor Hayden Christensen and Oscar nominated Terence Howard.

The film tells the gruesome tale of a man who suffers anesthetic awareness and finds himself awake and aware, but paralysed during heart surgery.

In a scene in the movie, Alba can be seen topless with her back to camera.

The star has said in the past she would never do nudity on film, but said of this scene, “Nobody was in front of me, but the wall.”

Sexy Beyonce pic sparks panic

A poster featuring BEYONCE KNOWLES has been labelled obscene by shocked Las Vegas residents.

The bikini-clad Bootylicious star appears in giant form on a massive advertising hoarding for a local radio station and locals have found the racy pic too much to stomach.

They’re demanding it be torn down before it offends their sensibilities too greatly.

One resident said: “It’s obscene. I have my two little grandkids coming over here, and they don’t need to be seeing that.

“You can change the channel on the TV but you can’t change that.”

Pleasingly, city officials will not be swayed by the more prudish elements of the public and have assured the radio station the offending image can stay.

The station manger said: “The billboards were taken from publicity shots and this is the way those people perform.

“So, to show them in a jogging suit probably wouldn’t be the right thing.

“It complies with all the locational criteria that are set out in our code of conduct.”

Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger Wants Chris Martin For Duet

Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger is desperate to record a duet with Coldplay star Chris Martin.

The stunning star - who has already collaborated with Sting, Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody and Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley - is eager to hook up with Chris because she loves working with British men.

She said: "After Sting, Gary and Tim I just need to work with Chris Martin to complete my British songwriting mission. That would be absolutely amazing.

"I really like British men. They have good manners and I always go for that in the end."

Nicole, 29, claims her collaboration with Gary on the song 'Just Say Yes' was so beautiful it made his mother cry.

She said: "I felt that song so much. He said his mother cried when she heard me singing it. That meant everything to me."

But Nicole admits she had to beg Tim to work with her on the yet to be released track 'American Girl'.

She revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I have always been a big fan of Keane so one day I physically put myself in front of Tim and said, 'Get in the studio with me or else.' " The 'Baby Love' singer recently revealed she has a crush on Sting
after the pair recorded the ballad 'Power's Out' together for her debut solo album 'Her Name is Nicole'.

Nicole - who was recently romantically linked to British Formula One racing star Lewis Hamilton - said: "Sting is so sweet. I think there are a lot of hot English men. I just love the accent. His wife Trudie Styler is a lucky woman!"

Top of the bill celebrity on smash reality show ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’ Gemma Atkinson has warned viewers and TV critics alike about her sleepwalking habits, and has stressed her fear about her doing it in the jungle, in front of live cameras.

She also talked about her fellow contestants being scared of the model’s sleepwalking, and hopes it won’t put others into dilemmas such as getting a stick and prodding it into her.

“I’m just hoping I don’t do anything or, you know, get in bed with anybody when I’m asleep,” Gemma told the Daily Record.

“I’ll maybe go swimming when I’m asleep ‘cos you can do all sorts can’t you? My mum’s found me in my wardrobe. She’s found me at the top of the stairs. And luckily, I’ve been woken up by my mum saying, ‘Gemma what are you doing?’

“But in there, I could be woken up by a bite on the ankle or something. I’m just hoping I don’t do anything.”

Jessica Simpson: 'I Need a Boston Man'

Attention Boston bachelors: Jessica Simpson is out to find love, and she's looking in your direction.

The Texas-born singer-actress, who ended her relationship with John Mayer in early summer, says the Yankee boys of Beantown have a few of the rebel traits she's looking for.

"I think Boston has cute boys," Simpson, 27, tells Extra. "I need a Boston man. A Boston man is closest to a Southern man, I believe."

Specifically, she says, it's "just their loyalty" that reminds her of Southern gentlemen.

New Album to Reveal Her Heartbreak.

Simpson has not discussed her breakup with Mayer – though she did tell PEOPLE recently, "I've had my heart broken since my divorce" from Nick Lachey, which became final in 2005.

She also said she would reveal some personal tidbits on her next album, saying, "I can't wait to share my heart with the world. The fun, the good, the bad, the happy, the sad. You know, I'm comfortable letting people in now. I'm in a really good place."

As for Major Movie Star, an Army comedy she just finished shooting after she first endured the real-life rigors of boot camp, she said, "I really found out a lot about myself and gained a lot of confidence. It's really humbling."

Aguilera has no regrets over 'Dirrty' video

Christina Aguilera has no regrets about her raunchy music video for hit single 'Dirrty' - because it made her feel "empowered".

The singer, who stripped down to a pair of leather chaps for the promo, insists she enjoyed expressing her inner self in the controversial video - and reveled in the controversy that accompanied its release.

She tells 'Glamour' magazine: "I definitely stirred the pot a bit but I had fun.

"If it's under the mark of respectability then it's prudish, if it's over the mark, it's slutty. That's really unfair, so I'm happy I've been able to express myself and be on both sides. People have loved it, hated it, been undecided, and been empowered by it."

Now-pregnant Aguilera has not ruled out donning the chaps at a later date.

She adds: "I was 21 and possibly when I'm 60, if I can still fit into them - at the end of the day, I can say I had a frickin' blast."

Vanessa Hudgens’ Naked Bangers Back For High School Musical 3

Disney had to make a difficult decision recently - to invite Vanessa Hudgens back for High School Musical 3 despite her nude scandal, or to replace her with someone less likely to whip their vagina out and show it to everyone all the time.

But, surprisingly, it looks as if Disney has chosen the former. Reports are rife that Vanessa Hudgens is not only going to sign on to reprise her role in High School Musical 3 this week, but she's also negotiated herself a giant payrise in the process. Although Vanessa Hudgens' payrise has shocked everyone who thought that her days as a family-friendly pop gonk were over, there's probably a perfectly good explanation for it - like the millions and millions of extra dollars that High School Musical 3 will make thanks to the army of new adult male Vanessa Hudgens fans who'll watch it again and again trying to work out if they can see the beginnings of a cameltoe emerging during the movie's tender opening number.

High School Musical has become a phenomenon by its relentlessly-pushed message that everyone is special and has their own gift. That's certainly true about Vanessa Hudgens, who is special because she's one of the few 18-year-old Disney stars prepared to take naked and borderline-lesbian photos of herself and paste them all over the internet for everyone to see.

But, even though this gift has made Vanessa Hudgens one of the most well-known vaginas in the entertainment industry, it looked like the fame was coming at a cost. Vanessa Hudgens, you see, was the female lead in High School Musical and High School Musical 2 - Disney's almost-nauseatingly earnest Grease rip-off cable movies. And, as you may have guessed, the sight of Vanessa Hudgens singing a song called You Are The Music In Me and the sight of Vanessa Hudgens trying to cop off with a schoolgirl with tongues didn't sit so well together.

However, despite rumours that Vanessa Hudgens was going to get the shove from High School Musical 3 - where the plot presumably involves all of them having to keep repeating years despite clearly being above high school age, possibly because they're all a bunch of honking dimwits - over the naked photo furore, it looks like Vanessa Hudgens might get the last laugh after all.

It's claimed that Vanessa Hudgens is on the verge of signing up for High School Musical 3 and getting a big fat payrise for doing so. While the official Disney and Vanessa Hudgens line is that nothing has been signed and negotiations are still in process, a High School Musical source told Us Weekly:

“Vanessa is locked for the movie. She is very happy that the deal is done.”

Obviously, while Vanessa Hudgens has built up a following amongst sickening bright-eyed innocent children by starring in the first two High School Musical movies, it's hard not to think that her naked photo sideline will bring in the punters to the third movie like never before, something Disney is hoping to expand on by forcing Vanessa Hudgens to wear nipple tassels throughout and singing a provocative burlesque song called Do Me In My Minge Now instead of the scheduled Never Forget (We're All Stars And God Loves Us Equally).

Jessica Alba I Will Never Go Nude

Hollywood sex symbol Jessica Alba will "never" go nude for a film - because her Catholic roots prevent her.

Alba believes it is important to abide by her strict religious beliefs - even if it means losing out on blockbuster film roles.

The 26-year-old says: "I will never do a nude scene in a movie - not ever. I can act sexy and I can wear sexy clothes but I can't go naked. I think I was always very uncomfortable about the way my body developed.

"I come from a Catholic family and it wasn't seen as good to flaunt yourself. I can handle being sexy with clothes on but not with them off."

Paris Hilton's Porn Store Outburst

She tears down 'One Night In Paris' posters...

Employees of a Toronto adult video store claim that Paris Hilton burst into their shop dressed as a skeleton and demanded the removal of posters advertising her One Night In Paris sex tape from the walls.

According to the store manager, the socialite – who is in the Canadian city shooting new movie Repo: The Genetic Opera - threw a fit while disguised in a skeleton costume and mask and started tearing down the offending posters herself.

Paris allegedly says: "You guys can't use my image in a porn store. I'm going to call my lawyer and sue the (expletive) out of this place."

"I really want them down because they're mean and this is not right. I'm really serious, this is disgusting."

"And I want the other ones too or I'm calling the (expletive) cops."

Store owners say that about 30 minutes after the woman left the store, a man identifying himself as Paris's manager came in and told them to keep the incident quiet.

The warning evidently didn't work - CCTV footage of the bizarre tantrum is currently on sale to the highest bidder, with offers said to be as high as $50K.
