Sexy Salma Hayek Has Body Issues

Salma Hayek might be considered one of Hollywood’s sexiest stars, but Salma Hayek hates her body.The actress — who is married to French billionaire François-Henri Pinault — has revealed how Salma Hayek won a “Best Body Award” — but was too embarrassed to accept it.“I won a ‘Best Body Award’ from Fitness Magazine and I was too embarrassed to accept it,” Salma Hayek said. “I actually don’t have a good body, but if everybody thinks so, I guess it means I’m a good actress.“I have acted the part of the girl who has a very good body. If you know how to dress, there’s some tricks you can pull.”Salma Hayek, 43, also revealed what Salma Hayek’d be doing if Salma Hayek didn’t make a success of Salma Hayek's acting career.“Growing up, I thought about wanting to be a contortionist or maybe a trapeze artist,” Salma Hayek said.


“I would have loved to do something gymnastic.I had another fantasy. Have you ever heard of the group‘Up With People?’They’re not a circus troupe, but they came to our city in Mexico when I was a kid doing motivational performances and singing songs about the power we have to change things.“I had a dream of going away with them — just going from town to town and being in their show to help promote world peace. That was my real secret fantasy.”Hayek — who got wed earlier this year — recently revealed that she’s still struggling to adjust to married life, especially her husband’s traditions.“Eating oysters for Christmas is a weird one I didn’t know about,”Salma Hayek said.“I had no idea that would be happening. I’m used to turkey. It takes some getting used to.”

'Motherhood' is the real deal - Said Uma Thurman

Not to mention caught outside in their nightgown, untied sneakers and coat, as Uma Thurman has in her West Village neighborhood.They sneak cigarettes:"I have been guilty,"Thurman,39,confesses.They make to-do lists:"You have to tell me to put my head on my shoulders sometimes."And they grapple with the elusive work-family balance: "I definitely sacrificed my work because I couldn't stand to not be there" for her children,Maya,11,and Levon,7.It's a life all too familiar to another, far-less-famous West Village mother of two:Eliza Welch, the harried heroine Thurman plays in the indie comedy Motherhood,out Friday.Eliza battles New York's notorious street parking rules;Thurman once had to retrieve her car from an impound lot after her ex,Ethan Hawke,parked it crookedly"and left it open as well.Thurman says it was"very" refreshing to mouse down for a movie."I like the realness.I'm not afraid of it."Indeed,Motherhood is "exactly the backdrop of the home movie I didn't shoot.It's like''That's the playground I took my daughter to," says Thurman, her long, angular limbs curled up like a pretzel in a chocolate chair at the W hotel lounge in Midtown."It's very personal."This is a character who gets to a point where she starts to doubt her purpose and feels invisible in her own body," Thurman says. "I think a lot of women will relate.
"Now that her children are getting older, she doesn't want to limit her scripts to movies shot only in their hometown."It's not like people want to put me in (just) anything,sadly. But it would be nice to have the privilege to be able to look at anything that's good, not just anything that's in New York – not that I don't love New York."Thurman is mum,however,on the details of her own impending ceremony; last year she got engaged to London-based French financier Arpad Busson, who has two sons with another leggy blonde,former girlfriend Elle Macpherson."I have nothing to tell you right now,"Thurman says in a sly,singsong voice.Her well-documented,marble-size engagement bauble is missing."It's an invitation to love.It's the most expansive,loving experience I have ever had ...humbling, beautiful"–nightgown-as-streetwear and all.

News,"I feel good."The Laker also said he knew Khloé was the one right away."Well, it only took me 30 days...When you know, you know," he explained, adding that married life agreed with him. "It's beautiful, it's incredible."Khloé was by his side for the bash on Robertson Boulevard, where birthday girl Kim and Kourtney also made a quick appearance before heading to Philippe for a girls-only celebration.Did Khloé pick her new man over her sister's soiree?"I am going to Kim right after this, double dipping for a good cause," says Khloé.Good thing, since she already skipped Kim's Vegas birthday party on Friday, when she missed her flight to Sin City."I don't like to really talk about specific gifts because it sounds materialistic, but he did really, really, really good this year!" Kim told us.And even if he hadn't done so well with the presents, Kim probably would have made out all right. This was her third birthday party in the past week."That's how you do it," says Kim's sister Kourtney. "That's how you get most presents."

"On the tour, I had no life."Hingis added that even without being tested positive, she likely would have retired."If I had won the four Grand Slam tournaments, maybe I would have continued," she said. "But I was on downslope. And I was suspended for two years, and that was it."Hingis, who spent 209 weeks at No. 1 in the women's rankings and won five Grand Slam singles titles, said she went through hard times during her suspension.
"I didn't have the right to play any competition, even in another Olympic sport," she said. "I didn't have the right to feature in equestrian competition, even at an amateur level....I'm not sure I have completely recovered."Hingis added that she learned that her suspension was over on Sept.30 — her birthday — a few days after undergoing a doping test at her home."They thought maybe, like you, that I was planning a second comeback," she said.Hingis quit tennis for the first time in 2002 because of foot and leg injuries.When she returned to the circuit in 2006,Hingis reached two Grand Slam quarterfinals,won two smaller tournaments and finished the year ranked No. 7.

Polanski in jail, rejects bail

Roman Polanski's three decades as a fugitive are coming back to haunt him.Nothing his previous escape from U.S.authorities,Switzerland's top criminal court on Tuesday rejected Polanski's appeal to be released from prison because of the "high" risk that the 76-year-old director would try to flee again.Polanski's offers of bail, house arrest and electronic monitoring failed to sway the tribunal. Even a Swiss chalet in the luxury resort of Gstaad was brushed aside as insufficient collateral to guard against Polanski fleeing the country, as the United States seeks to have him extradited for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.In its verdict, the Swiss court said Polanski offered to surrender his travel documents, wear an electronic monitoring device and submit himself to daily police checks. Those measures were seen as insufficient to prevent his flight because he could always obtain a new passport or even travel to his French home without papers.
The Swiss court also was concerned that Polanski could avoid the extradition process if he fled Switzerland by helicopter or private airplane.Lawyers for Polanski offered up the director's Gstaad chalet as collateral, saying it represented more than half of his personal wealth and that it would definitely guarantee his remaining in the country because he has two children he must support through school.

The court, however, sided with Swiss authorities who said even the large bail offer provided insufficient security against flight, and should be made in cash.The Swiss Justice Ministry said it would examine any new request Polanski submits and evaluate whether it represents a "concrete, realizable" offer as the court ruling suggests.But,spokesman Folco Galli reiterated that detention is only lifted in exceptional cases.It is not clear how much time in jail Polanski faces now, either in Switzerland or in the United States. With appeals, the extradition process in Switzerland could take months. In the United States,Roman Polanski fled before sentencing was complete and is expected to face additional penalties for jumping bail.

I feel that Shahrukh khan is the best. After working with an actor like Shahrukh Khan, it is very difficult for me to work with any other actor.Just imagine I had to take a three second shot and I had told Shahrukh Khan that I’d require 98 cameras for it.

Shahrukh khan spent 20 lakhs and got those 90 cameras flown in from London. Though I had told him not to splurge unnecessarily as we could easily do away with it, Shahrukh khan told me that he did not believe in compromising on quality.I had written the script in English and every time there was any untoward incident on the sets, Shahrukh khan would say Just Trust me. When Abbas Tyrewala started translating the dialogues, there was this line Main Hoon Na coming up in the place of Just Trust Me.
