Oh, now this is a treat:

… Kate Beckinsale has demanded a body double for her latest film – because she "loathes" her bottom.

Producers have had to hire a £1,000-a-day nude stand-in after Kate, 34, refused to bare her derriere in a shower scene.

… a source on her new film Whiteout said: "Kate has a terrible self-image. She thinks she is fat and she is always complaining how certain outfits make her bottom look big. …

"The script called for her character to be filmed nude in a shower, focusing in on her bottom and thighs. Kate insisted on a double being hired. She was quite open on the set about not liking her body and said she particularly loathed her bottom and was not comfortable baring it."

Does nobody else find it outrageous that society continues to let fashion and advertising corrode the spirit of the women of the world? We wouldn't let a disease run rampant like this, so why do we let corporations do it?
