Plucky British Actresses More Willing To Go Nude Than Their American Counterparts
Earlier this year, Reese Witherspoon got her panties in a twist about the mere notion that she might go nude for a role. "If [actresses] take their clothes off, they objectify themselves," Witherspoon told UK Glamour. "I am flabbergasted by how many legitimate actresses do it." But if they're doing it to retain the integrity and reality of a role, is that really objectification? Well Reese's prudishness is part of why Showtime producers chose to import the British show Secret Diary of a Call Girl as opposed to remaking it. "This country, being more puritanical, it's always hard to find actors who get really comfortable with the nudity," Robert Greenblatt, Showtime's president of entertainment told Jezebuddy Choire Sicha, writing for the L.A. Times. Greenblatt continues, "It's just a different climate over there. You can find actors who have a reputation and have actually done some serious acting. Who don't need to be covered up every time they do a bedroom scene, which is true of most actresses — most women — unless you're doing something a little more downscale." The 25-year-old Brit star of Call Girl, Billie Piper, clearly has no problem with nudity. More » -

If only we were a fly on the wall during this interaction: apparently, Bethenny Frankel from the Real Housewives of NYC and Tamra Barney from the Real Housewives of Orange County got in a physical altercation at Bravos' A-List Awards. "Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup," Tamra said, while Bethenny countered, “Give me a can of hairspray and a match, and I’ll take care of that in the dressing room later.” DAMN, BITCHES!!! • Rumor has it that Keira Knightley will will star in a remake of My Fair Lady as Eliza Doolittle.

Sex(ism) and the City
New Yorker Film Critic Anthony Lane Has Female Trouble
The Time Out New York cover portraying the ladies of Sex and the City with duct tape over their maws isn't the only media coverage of the fabulous foursome that has the whiff of sexism about it. Newsweek critic Ramin Setoodeh discusses the near-violent dislike for Sex in the City that many men, particularly male movie critics, have shown. "Movie critics, an overwhelmingly male demographic, gave it such a nasty tongue lashing you would have thought they were talking about an ex-girlfriend," Setoodeh says. And no male critic was nastier than the New Yorker's Anthony Lane. Best Week Ever calls the caricature seen above left (which accompanied Lane's review) "almost masochistic in its grotesqueness." Setoodeh at Newsweek points out Lane's problematic phrasing when he describes Carrie and the girls as "hormonal hobbits, and all obsessed with a ring." But what galled me was Lane's description of Kim Cattrall's body, and it reminded me of his unfortunate criticism of Tina Fey's figure in his review of Baby Mama.

Is Mama Spears forcing Jamie Lynn into marriage with baby daddy Casey Aldridge? A family friend tells Star, "Jamie Lynn is having a shotgun wedding, and it's Lynne who is holding the shotgun!" • Kim Cattrall says that male actors are even more vain than the ladies. "I remember one actor who was doing his scene, he had to show a bit of his butt, right?," Cattrall recalls. "And he went to the gym, he hadn't eaten for weeks and he passed out on the set. (I thought,) 'You've got to be kidding!'" S-assy! • Hulk Hogan's son, Nick Bollea was sentenced to 8 months in prison for felony reckless driving today. The charges were stemming from an August 26 crash that left passenger John Graziano so seriously injured that he'll likely spend the rest of his life in a nursing home.

Sex And The City Cast Were Practically A Parody Of Themselves On Oprah
With countdown to the release of Sex and the City: The Movie officially starting today, the cast appeared on Oprah, in front of a boozed-up, overly excited, Cosmo-swigging audience. It was almost a parody of itself. (As Sarah Jessica Parker walked onstage, one woman, martini glass in hand, was actually seen jumping up and down and mouthing, "Look at her shoes!") So what did we learn? Well, those "dream sequence" stories they were feeding the press while the movie was being shot were all a bunch of bologna. SJP had 81 costume changes. And Cynthia Nixon was "shocked" when she fell in love with her similarly-ginger girlfriend. Clip above, and after the jump, some very gay stills. More » -

She was released later on $15,000 worth of bail. • Kim Cattrall took her sweet time in agreeing to do the Sex and the City movie because they didn't offer her enough dough. "I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don't ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued." [Us, TMZ, I'm Not Obsessed] -

Sex And The City Really Is Full Of (Expensive) Shit
Question: Is Sex and the City in on the joke? According to WWD, in the upcoming film version of the HBO series, Carrie Bradshaw questions her assistant (played by Jennifer Hudson) about just how she affords a slew of designer accessories on an assistant's salary. [I'd like to see the assistant ask the same thing of Carrie 'I'm a writer in New York' Bradshaw. -Ed.] The assistant's answer? The bag-renting website Bag, Borrow, or Steal. Our answer? Sex and the City is not in on the joke — it's just found another way to land a corporate sponsor! And clearly, striking some strategic branding deals with fashion designers in exchange for costuming credits wasn't good enough. More » -
