Spider-Man’s nemesis to marry porn queen

Spider-Man 3 villain Thomas Haden Church is getting set to say ‘I Do’ to his porn queen fiancée.

The Academy-Award nominated actor, who will soon be seen on the big screen battling superhero Spider-Man when the latest movie hits theatres on May 4, has been well and truly smitten by blue movie beauty Mia Zottoli.

As for his fiancée’s porn past, well though he gets extremely protective of his real-life leading lady, insisting that "That's all in the past”, he also insists that she is the right woman for him."Good life partners are well balanced, dynamic intellectually and romantically.

If someone is right, they're right," the News of the World quoted him, as saying. The couple first met in 2002 when he directed a film called Rolling Kansas.

Zittoli soon asked him out, and they have been together ever since, cementing their relationship with the birth of their daughter Cody, who has now turned 2. "A month later she phoned me and asked me out. It was a very pleasant surprise," he said.

And, now the actor is hoping that his lady love will soon be sporting a wedding ring on her left hand. "I hope the wedding will be sooner rather than later," he said.

Britney’s Breasts under shrinking transformation

It seems that Britney Spears’ post rehab vigorous exercise regime has had a little extra effect on her breasts.

It was clear that Spears’ formally buxom cleavage had reduced, after she was spotted in a lavender sundress with a plunging neckline.A source told the American magazine Star that with Britney already eyeing the revival of her flagging career, the first thing she wants to get back in shape is her figure."Britney wants to look better than she ever has in her life.

She has a plan and has already started working on it.

She is a size 6 (UK size 10) and wants to be a size 2 (UK size 6) when she is done in three months," the Daily Mail quoted the source, as telling Star.

However, her smaller frame has already fuelled rumours that her weight loss could be due to cosmetic surgery. The singer was spotted a week ago emerging from a cosmetic surgery clinic showing signs of losing some of the weight she has put on due to her back to back pregnancies.

Jolie’s Demand Gets Free Helicopter Lessons for Partner Brad Pitt

The movie bosses of Angelina Jolie’s new film are more than willing to accept the long list of perks demanded by the actress, for her partner Brad Pitt.

Jolie is to replace Halle Berry in the action flick Wanted which is scheduled for shooting in the Czech Republic next month. But Jolie made it clear that she will opt for the film only if her demands are met.

Now, as the actress shoots for her film, partner Brad Pitt can take free helicopter lessons in Prague. Pitt even gets a mansion with a helipad, and his favourite Bugatti car is also being shipped in.

A source said:

These two can have whatever they want — and they and the film company know it.

Thats true, if you want the lady then keep her man happy.

Top 20 Celebrity Drug Confessions

They knew, and yet they indulged! Is it a passion or
a sheer trend? However, for all those celebs who
confessed candidly that they consume drugs, I think
it is an illicit passion.

Here is the list of celebrities who have come
clean about their experience with drugs and just
loved the high.

Angelina Jolie:

I hate heroin because I’ve been
fascinated by it. I’m not immune, but I won’t do
it now, at all.

Brad Pitt:

If someone wants to do drugs…as long
as he or she isn’t corrupting minors or driving
under the influence or endangering others,
shouldn’t a person have that right?

Colin Farrell:

I ended up on a shrink’s couch, and
he told me to write down how much I did in a
week: 20 E’s, 4 grams of coke, six of speed,
half an ounce of hash, three bottles of Jack
Daniel’s, 12 bottles of red wine, 60 pints.

Drew Barrymore:

My mind seemed to have a huge neon
sign in it that blinked nonstop: COKE. GET COKE.
So I did. It was great for dieting, partying and
picking up my mood.

George Clooney:

I’ve slept with too many women, done
too many drugs and been to too many parties. I
loved acid when I was at college. It was an
escape. I liked mushrooms. They were like easy
acid. I did like blow…Blow would dress you up
for a party, but never take you there. You’re
always like. This is going to be great! Then
you’re just depressed.

Fergie Ferguson:

The drug was the hardest boyfriend I
ever had to break up with. I dug deep as to why
I got there.

Nicole Richie:

I was like a trash can - I took
everything.

Halle Berry:

People in this business use cocaine
and crack, but I never wanted to put that in my
body. Why would I? I tried pot when I was 18 or
19. But it just made me scared to leave the
house.

Anthony Kiedis:

I grew up with drugs, but it wasn’t
until recently, that I grew out of them.

Davina McCall:

You name it, I took it. Cocaine,
ecstasy, even heroin – although I never
injected... I had a job so I looked like I was
holding everything together. But then the cracks
started to show.

Bill Hicks:

See I think drugs have done some good
things for us, I really do, and if you don’t
believe drugs have done good things for us, do
me a favor: go home tonight and take all your
albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and
burn ‘em. ’cause you know the musicians who made
all that great music that’s enhanced your lives
throughout the years.... rrrrrrrrreal f**kin
high on drugs.

Joel Madden:

Without cigarettes, I would be doing
heroin, probably, on a daily basis.

Madonna:

I only tried Vicodin once. Drugs have
a weird effect on me. They do the opposite with
me. I just chewed the entire inside of my mouth.
I bitched at everybody. And I was in more pain.
It was the worst experience of my life. So I’m
happy to say that none of my pharmaceuticals —
and I had a plethora of them given to me —
influenced me.

Pete Doherty:

I’ always stumble back on it sooner
or later, even if it’s for half an hour a day.
There was no shame, because I kind of knew they
were just lonely p***ed-up old queens. And £20
was a lot of money!

Naomi Campbell:

I was at a concert in a European
country and I was offered cocaine. It made me
feel invincible. Like I could conquer the world.
I was just completely over-confident, but it’s
all a misconception because when you wake up the
next day it’s all gone and you feel awful. And
the more you take drugs, the more you want. And
that’s how you become an addict.

Kate Moss:

I take full responsibility for my
actions. I also accept that there are various
personal issues that I need to address and have
started taking the difficult, yet necessary,
steps to resolve them.

George Michael:

Cannabis keeps me sane and happy. I’d
say it’s a great drug - but obviously it’s not
very healthy. You can’t afford to smoke it if
you’ve got anything to do.

Keith Richards:

The strangest thing I’ve tried to
snort? My father. I snorted my father. He was
cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up
with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have
cared.

Whitney Houston:

My business is sex, drugs, rock and
roll. You know? My friends, we have a good time.
But as you get older and you get wiser - you
stop a lot of the kid stuff. Trust me. I partied
my tail off. You get to a point where... the
party’s over.

Sienna Miller:

I still love the odd hallucinogenic
drug. If I had a drug of choice, it would be
magic mushrooms.

Nude Paris Hilton Autopsy to Warn Teens

A naked and outstretched Paris Hilton autopsy sculpture will now warn teens about the dangers of underage drinking.A public service announcement featuring a tiara-wearing and provocatively posed yet dead Paris Hilton has been created by Capla Kesting Fine Art to caution teenagers about the hazards of underage drinking.The display, which also features a very creepy looking Tinkerbell, Hilton's forlorn pet Chihuahua wearing a matching tiara and climbing over Hilton’s breast, will be unveiled in the trendy Williamsburg, Brooklyn, neighborhood, which is a favourite hangout place for prom-oers."Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth" featuring "The Paris Hilton Autopsy" features Hilton’s internals, which include her small intestines, and other elements.These body parts are removable in order to assist teens with an empathetic view of drunk driving tragedy from the coroner’s perspective.The sculpture was created to counter “the disturbingly glamourized trend of Hollywood’s ‘girls gone wild,’” according to gallery director David Kesting.Paris Hilton, arrested for a DUI last year, previously released a slightly effective PSA pertaining to drunk driving. This newest PSA consists of a website by Capla Kesting, which offers high school educators an opening for discussing drunk driving's consequences.The PSA also looks into the teen pregnancy problem related with alcohol impaired decision.

With 'Spider-Man 3' opening Friday, the next challenge is ... what's next for Tobey Maguire?

In the short-term, Tobey Maguire is looking forward to spending more time with his fiancee and 5-month-old daughter. He’s undecided about whether he wants to do a “Spider-Man 4.” MATT SAYLES/The Associated Press

Tobey Maguire says he and his big-screen alter-ego, Spider-Man, "have very different lives."

Still, both are caught in the same web of uncertainty: What next?

The upcoming release of "Spider-Man 3" raises as many questions as it answers for the web-slinging hero and the actor behind him.

Is the Spidey franchise finished? Will Maguire sign on for a fourth installment? Will Peter Parker propose to Mary Jane? How will fatherhood and marriage affect Maguire's future? What roles lie ahead after superhero success?

"Everything's in transition for me," says the actor, sitting in a plush suite at Beverly Hills' Four Seasons Hotel. "My friendships, where I want to live."

And his work. After playing "Spider-Man" for six years, and fitting in "Seabiscuit" and "The Good German" in between, the 31-year-old star is looking at a wide-open calendar. His top priority is spending time with his fiancee, Jennifer Meyer, and their 5-month-old daughter, Ruby Sweetheart. But workwise?

"I don't have any specific ideas," he says, looking sharp in a gray suit, white shirt and Hollywood stubble. "I want to work in all types of movies. I don't care the size of the movie. I want to work in different genres and different types of films. It just all depends on scripts and directors."

He's not ruling out another adventure with Spider-Man and its three-time director, Sam Raimi. But he's not ruling it in, either.

"If there's a script I love, if the character goes in directions that I think would be great, and if Sam's involved and the right cast is there, then I would consider it at that point," Maguire says, adding that it could take years to develop a script for "Spider-Man 4."

"I think they would love for Sam to do it, so we'll just see."

As far as Raimi is concerned, there is no other Peter Parker besides Maguire. He cast the actor after seeing him in "The Cider House Rules."

"What I saw within his performance was a sensitivity and a vulnerability that I felt the character had to have," Raimi recalls. "There was an outcry at the time that he was wrong, that he was never going to be Peter Parker. But I was never bothered by that. Because although I'm a very insecure person, I was very confident I knew the character, knew who he was, and that these people were thinking of some hero called Spider-Man. And that the real heart of Spider-Man was this kid behind the mask. That's what I was going to make this movie about."

Laura Ziskin, one of the film's producers, says she had some initial reservations about Maguire's superhero qualities — until she saw his screen test.

"We cast him immediately," she says. "When we finished the movie, you know you cast something right when you can't imagine anybody else doing the part."

Maguire manages to capture Peter Parker's low-profile nature as well as Spider-Man's over-the-top heroics, says co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays affection-object Gwen Stacy in "Spider-Man 3."

"I understand why he got cast as this character and why he's so beloved as this character: because he's not so different," she says. "He's a good, good man ... and he goes to great lengths to help people around him."

Still, Maguire says he doesn't feel he owns the role.

"I don't go to bed at night thinking, 'Ah, I'm Spider-Man,'" he says. "These are properties for these studios and ... I won't be doing them forever whether I do another one or not."

Meanwhile, he's enjoying the accomplishment of finishing a six-year project. He celebrated with some time off before jumping into the movie's marketing madness, which included a trip to Tokyo and a jaunt to New York City. He likes "being part of the event" of "Spider-Man 3," he says, but his measured speech gives the impression that he might prefer privacy.

Maguire says he's "proud" of his work on the three Spider-Man films: "I feel like this version of it is ours." Now he's looking forward to free time and figuring out fatherhood.

"It kind of changes everything when you're a dad," he says. "You don't have the same time to hang out with your friends. You don't have the same time to do other stuff that, for me, I used to do. But you're trading it up for something that's better, which is getting to hang out with my daughter, and that's amazing."

AMERICAN IDOL FINALIST ARRESTED

TAMPA, Fla. - Former "American Idol" finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested early Sunday on felony battery charges for allegedly hitting a man on the head with a heavy glass at a cafe, police said.


Sierra, 21, was booked in the Hillsborough County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. She was also charged with possession of cocaine and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility after officers found a small amount of the drug while searching her, police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said.

Sierra was released Sunday afternoon on $11,500 bail. There was no immediate indication if she had a lawyer.

The victim suffered a cut over his eye, but the spokeswoman gave no further information.

Sierra, of Tampa, was one of the hit show's top 10 contestants in 2005.

American Idol: Sanjaya, Simon Cowell, Howard Stern, and Dave Della Terza

Last week, Sanjaya's surprise appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno followed hot on the heels of Jon Stewart and Aasif Mandvi's brilliant Partial-Birth Abortion skit ("America Decides") on The Daily Show about his being voted off American Idol. One was relieved to see the kid still on television, shy and charming, and free of anger as ever. And he was wise, saying he felt that he hadn't lived up to the potential Simon had seen in him, and had no hard feelings, taking the wind right out of the sails of anyone looking to pick a fight with him. He said he's not a country singer and knew he had bombed when he saw his Tuesday performance played back. Then he made a point that should not be missed. Who will win, he said, is "totally unpredictable, based on each week's performance." That is to say, there is no way to predict who will win American Idol because you don't know ahead of time what genre is next on the calendar.Clearly, many people have picked up on the perpetually and perennially boorish Simon Cowell's special animosity towards the kid, since he never bothered to disguise it, except in being careful, after Sanjaya's not-so-CBGB downfall, not to emphasize "American" when he said, "Based on the fact that we're supposed to be finding an American Idol..."

Obviously, industry players know quite well that America Does Not Decide. But Sanjaya is an American kid, half Italian-American as well as half Indian. He cannot recognize Simon's carry-over-colonial style, nor Simon's oblique manner of exerting his strangely assumed authority, because this very American teen has no prior knowledge of where it's coming from. Each show gave us a glimpse of his utter bafflement at the way Simon treated him.Simon Cowell is a denizen of another era, when Indian pop stars disguised themselves as Englishmen. Cliff Richard never made it to America at all, and mostly hid his Indian roots like Merle Oberon; Engelbert Humperdinck needed a ludicrous name borrowed from a deceased German composer to arrive piggybacked, if I recall correctly, on Tom Jones' transatlantic voyage; Freddy Mercury, sweet Parsi boy from such a nice family in Bombay, was only identified as Indan posthumously and fictionally by Salman Rushdie in The Ground Beneath Her Feet. If you were Indian, you had to go through Britain to access the rest of the world. Nowadays, it seems, if you're going to be a rock star of Indian descent, you still need to count on positive guidance from the West to win support in India. The Indian press has been inclined in many quarters to report or redistribute more of the bad news about Sanjaya, and less of the good news — essentially, whatever is being said here — although American Idol is shown in India a day later and audiences can figure it out for themselves. Is it possible that no Indian viewers noticed the American Idol band's complete unpreparedness and inability to support his very fluid but on target microtonal inflections that are a regular feature of Indian vocal music?Howard Stern and the highly prescient Dave Della Terza of VoteForTheWorst both have good reason to want to bring down American Idol. It's a bogus formula forced upon a home-grown art form. Clearly, the panel of judges is composed to reflect the notion that Simon Cowell is a WASP, but he is not. What extraordinary effrontery to suppose a fellow with a voice like an animated gekko's cantankerous cousin should sit in judgment of what works in America, let alone be its gatekeeper — even if he is a Sony executive.Perhaps the Idol routine makes sense in England, or once did. There isn't (or certainly once wasn't) any problem with looking for a pop song generalist there. Despite all internal distinctions (i.e., I can tell Johnny Rotten from Boy George, and still download Cream and Pink Floyd tracks when I'm feeling nostalgic), all British pop forms a distinct and unified subgenre in that it is always in some part a highly abstracted imitation of American music. But in the U.S. of A, where we never expected Bruce Springsteen to give us salsa, or Eddie van Halen to play Copacabana, or Beastie Boys to sing Motown, the Idol competition makes little sense. It is shaped like a baccalaureate of pop, with a series of courses administered in surprise sequence with a trip-you-up trickery aspect to the testing method that smacks of preparation for managing distant colonies in the midst of hordes of unwilling natives. In other words, the show's management can direct the sequence of styles especially to eliminate particular contestants on the management's whim. This sort of manipulation is not entirely unfamiliar to past generations in India who had to cope with the colonial imagination, but maybe now rock 'n' roll natives should become more completely unwilling to put up with this nonsense.

'American Idol' Fans Deliver World Record-Breaking Vote and Overwhelming Public Donations

'American Idol' Fans Deliver World Record-Breaking Vote and Overwhelming Public Donations for 'Idol Gives Back' Charity Telecasts on April 24 and April 25??

Working with the show since its programming debut in 2002, Telescope has successfully managed 'Idol' voting for six straight seasons. Last season, Telescope announced nearly 580 million combined toll-free telephone and mobile text votes

"With the new world record-breaking vote volume and incredible generosity of the donating American public for 'Idol Gives Back,' participation media has come of age. 'Idol Gives Back' engaged the television audience beyond our most optimistic expectations," said Sandy Bennett, general manager of Telescope. "We, at Telescope, have worked for six seasons to ensure that the AMERICAN IDOL voting systems are capable of achieving mass scale while maintaining accuracy and integrity, and 'Idol Gives Back' demonstrates clearly the improvements and developments that we and our technology partners have put in place to extend the interactive capabilities for the FOX television audience."
Ellen DeGeneres hosted the show's live companion event via satellite from downtown Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall. The star-studded evening saw appearances and performances from stars ranging from Earth Wind & Fire and Il Divo to Kellie Clarkson, Celine Dion, Rascall Flats, Annie Lennox, Seal and Bono.
The more than 70 million calls and text messages that came in for 'Idol Gives Back' will be added to next Tuesday's tallies, said host Ryan Seacrest. Melinda Doolittle, LaKisha Jones, Blake Lewis, Chris Richardson, Jordin Sparks and Phil Stacey all return for the May 2nd telecast.
Telescope will keep donation lines open until the end of May.

Drew Barrymore credits her fun-loving approach to life

Drew Barrymore credits her fun-loving approach to life -- not her family's acting genes -- for her No. 1 spot on People magazine's annual "100 Most Beautiful People" list.I just think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period," she tells the magazine.Barrymore, 32, made the list for the fourth time, but first as the cover subject. That, she says, "made my peacock feathers shine in the golden-hour light and extend to the heavens." Like she said, she's happy.Barrymore is one of 11 celebrities -- including Eva Longoria and the three Jessicas (Simpson, Alba and Biel) -- photographed for the issue without makeup. "I find that men, in my past, have preferred me without it," Biel, 25, said about makeup -- we hope.

Baldwin wants out
Divorced dad Alec Baldwin, caught yelling at his daughter on a voicemail message, says he has asked NBC to let him out of his "30 Rock" contract so he can devote his time to the issue of "parental alienation."
"If I never acted again, I couldn't care less," Baldwin said in a taped appearance for ABC's "The View," scheduled to air today (11 a.m. WXYZ-TV, Channel 7).
NBC, however, quickly said: "We look forward to having him continue his role" for a second season.
On "The View," Barbara Walters asked Baldwin about his harsh remarks to his daughter. "Well, there's nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry about something," he replied. "It's the way you do it. I realize that was wrong."
Asked by Walters if he had spoken to his daughter since and how things stood, Baldwin declined to answer.

Anderson rocks on
Who needs Kid Rock when you can do this? TV's "Extra" (11 a.m., WDIV-TV, Local 4) reports the ex-Mrs. Rock -- Pamela Anderson -- is set to star in Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's "The Beauty of Magic."
It'll be a four-month run at $1 million per month as magician Hans Klok's assistant.
Going to court for a kiss?
And now, news from the old Raj: A Jaipur, India, court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere -- now out of the country -- and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday. Their alleged crime: A kiss at a public function that "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.
What does it mean? Little, because of India's hopelessly clogged legal system.

No Detroit for Stripes
The ex-Motor City duo the White Stripes announced a 28-city North American tour, stopping at many out-of-the-way spots in Canada and the United States but no closer to Detroit than London, Ontario, on July 7.
A Warner Bros. Records spokesperson said cities such as Detroit may be added down the road.

American Idol: Idol Gives Back

American Idol: Idol Gives Back -- Again

Tonight the Idols gave back. I wanted to give back too -- my breakfast. Seriously though, in between all of the cheesiness, the filmed segments were very sad (and I'm not talking about that whole "Stayin' Alive" thing). It's a serious cause, and I even took a crowbar to my wallet and donated. Hopefully the celebrities will do the same (your "time" does not count people!).
The sappy all-star spectacular was just too much to cover, so here are just a few quick comments...
• Don't F with me about "shocking results" only to wuss out (see closing paragraph). I hate you for that Seacrest. I know you are just the producers' dancing monkey, but I blame you for tonight's lack of a surpise ending.
• Big announcement: News Corp. kicked in $5 million. Gee... think no one will get a Christmas bonus this year? Please. Speaking of which: How much of tonight's ad revenue went to the cause?
• You know it was a special episode, since Simon busted out his "other" shirt.
• Earth, Wind & Fire's opening sounded a lot like

Sexual Chocolate from "Coming to America."
• All of the Idol kids were dressed like they were going to a P Diddy party.
• I wish some celebrity would adopt those two kids living by themselves in that scary one-room "house."
• Here's to hoping that the nickname "Cresty" sticks.
• Was this the first time that Tom from MySpace has ever been larging than a thumbnail?
• Shout out for Captain Underpants -- awesome!
• Paula may be vertically challenged, but her boobs are not.
• Judging by the "Stayin' Alive" Ford segment, Teri Hatcher might be in need of her own Idol-style benefit.
• Mickey Dolenz in the hizhouse!
• Liked Ellen as a host, but was anyone else expecting her to donate $1 million? Now that's a figure to match.
• Loved the Simpsons' segment. Seacrest must have been thrilled to finally hear Simon "sing."
• I'm pretty sure that if Elvis were alive today, he wouldn't give a rat's ass about the kids in Africa.
OK… not to sound uncharitable, but what a disappointment that no one got canned tonight. However, I did almost pass out when they made everyone think that Jordin was going home. Yeah… make the 17-year-old cry. That’s charitable. See you next week.

The Best and Worst of American Idol DVD

Sanjaya Goes To Washington

Sanjaya Malakar dined with George W. Bush this Saturday. Sanjaya was invited to this year's White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in Washington, D.C. With his mother by his side, he was among the celebrities Jane Fonda, Teri Hatcher, John Cusack & Sheryl Crow.

Since polarizing America with his hairstyles, wit, and singing persistence, Sanjaya is now in the most pivotal time of his career. Will he become the lastest reality-tv roadkill or will he have a substantive career? Positioning himself as a personality and not just a singer will give Sanjaya staying power in the world of the celebrity. Following in the footsteps of multi-tasking entertainment moguls such as Jennifer Lopez and the Olsen twins seem to be the only way to stay at the top in the business nowadays.

In the next few months Sanjaya will be touring with Top 12 Idol finalists and will also be present at the American Idol finale. With the advice of top agents (I'm assuming he has made good contacts), Sanjaya will be hosting, promoting, and guest appearing across a wide spectrum of entertainment venues. And please, I can't wait for his album.. and the Britney Spears duet.. He's made an solid, attention-grabbing debut in entertainment. He has a bright future if he keeps making the right moves.

Nude Madonna & Ritchie portrait for 15k pounds

Nude Madonna & Ritchie portrait for 15k pounds

Well-known painter Peter Howson’s latest portrait of nude pop star Madonna and her hubby Guy Ritchie is on sale for 15,000 pounds. This is not the first time Howson has painted the luscious diva, and he admits that he has never actually ‘fancied her’, but has got a ‘thing about her’. “I've never actually fancied her but I admit I've got a thing about her,” the Daily Mail quoted Howson, as saying. The artist's agent Matthew Flowers said that Howson is obsessed with Madonna, and there are rumours that Ritchie was actually a bit jealous about the earlier pics of his wife. “Peter is a bit obsessed with Madonna. There are strong rumours that Guy was very jealous of the earlier pictures he'd painted of her and wanted to knock Peter's block off,” Flowers said. In the recent painting, the blonde singer reclines bare on a green drape, gazing at her artist, and next to her is a bald lover, pawing her flawless flesh.

Keira Knightley finds Sex Scenes Liberating!

Keira Knightley finds Sex Scenes Liberating!

If there’s one that British beauty Keira Knightley has no problems doing, it would be all those steamy sex scenes for her movies; for she insists that they make her feel ‘liberated’. The Oscar nominated ‘Pride and Prejudice’ star revealed that filming a sex scene was a piece of cake for her, especially the one in ‘Domino’, for she had hunky Venezuelan star Edgar Ramirez keeping her company. "Sex scenes are easy. I don't really have a problem with them. Actually it's quite liberating in the movie 'Domino' to be out in the middle of the desert completely topless with a beautiful Venezuelan guy. I was very lucky," Hollywoodrag.com quoted her, as saying. However, though the actress has no problems showing off her breasts in nude scenes, it is an altogether different story when it comes to her posterior, for which she insists on a body double. "I did have a body double for my bum but not on my top. I don't have a problem with that," Knightley revealed. And, apart from her butt, the actress also has a problem with her feet, which she thinks are “ugly”. So like her butt double, she insists on having a foot double too, like for her latest film 'Atonement'.
