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?
We feel kind of gross even commenting on this story, but here it is: The newest Hollywood romance involves two 9-year-olds who are likely flirting in the sandbox as we type.
Forget Brangelina. There's a new couple poised to take Hollywood by storm…and they have a combined age of 18!
Kate Beckinsale has reportedly given her 9-year-old daughter Lily permission to 'date' Brooklyn Beckham — the son of Posh Spice and soccer star David Beckham.
Any hopes of these kids having a normal childhood just went right out the window with that story, seeing as how Life & Style staffers are already working on next week's cover: "Beckhamsale: Brooklyn Won't Commit! Lily Walks Out After Finding Text Messages From Other Women!"

This is an 8-year-old getting a pedicure. Let's hope she can recall this day when trying to explain to her therapist the puzzling, horrifying discrepancy between her unwillingness to "settle" and her feelings of utter loneliness. And if she can, let's hope the doctor's pupils don't turn into dollar signs until after she's done telling the story.
"I don't know, y'know? I thought American Pie was pretty good—people are still saying MILF, right? And now what? I'll tell you now what: Klein's getting crapped on by everyone in The Biz. I'm eating beans and tuna fish for fucking dinner, I'm in movies with goddamn Jake Busey and my ex-girlfriend – who may or may not be the mother of my child – is dating an ultra-wealthy, paranoid lunatic. Can you believe I can't remember not having a headache? When's it gonna be Klein's time, huh? Of course you don't know. I'm out. I'm going to get some pussy. Oh, and I liked Pearl Harbor. To hell with the critics. Hell. Hell."

I was going to have to issue a warning, as the Third Sign of the Apocalypse is a female celebrity eating In-N-Out, but upon further examination I see that while Kate Beckinsale was in the presence of burgers, she did not actually ingest any. Be sure that she worked out extra hard afterwards, you know, in case any second-hand calories snuck into her system.
