Seems like the young actress Natalie Portman is having second thoughts about showing it all on the screen. Natalie, who first shot to fame at the tender age of of 13 in Luc Besson”s Leon, plays a stripper in the upcoming Mike Nichols film Closer and her role require some pretty steamy scenes, but now she doesn”t want moviegoers to see the full monty. The petite 23-year-old is okay with her topless shots, but she”s ordered the fully nude scenes she did to be cut from the movie and she claims her director was more than happy to do it. “He wants to see my bare ass much less than (even) my father would. He”s as or more protective of me than my parents are. So doing sexual, physical stuff for him felt very uncomfortable,” Natalie said. Closer opens in the US on December 3rd. She can also be seen in the final Star Wars film next Spring.

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, but in the case of rowdy former nurse Abi Titmuss, that first impression couldn”t have been more wrong. Abi first came to attention in her native UK as the loyal girlfriend of newsreader John Leslie, standing demurely beside him as he attended his trial. When the mess was over, the charges against Leslie were dropped, but his career was still ruined. Meanwhile things were just heating up for the bouncy blonde. First there were allegations of mate swapping and wild orgies with an ex-boyfriend and instead of denying them, randy Abi freely admitted all to British tabloid News of the World. When asked what it was like to reveal some of the wildest details of her personal life to a national newspaper, the 27-year-old recently told FHM magazine, “Doing that interview was the most difficult thing I”ve had to do in my life. The most difficult thing was that the people interviewing me had seen pictures of me, in a hotel room with John, in various poses. But intimate, explicit, private pictures that boyfriends take of their girlfriends. They”d poured over them and I had to talk about them in detail and I felt absolutely degraded and violated.” The pictures were stolen and there”s video as well, but Abi says that the videos are still under wraps. “No, because the pictures that were stolen were stills that had been downloaded from videos onto a memory stick, so there is no video. There are plenty of videos in the drawer at home, but that”s where they”re staying!” Uhm, or so she thought. Recently video of Abi doing just about everything popped up on the Internet, including sex with another woman. Release of the video got her canned from a TV job. In the past Abi”s claimed that there was nothing unusual in the videos she made with John Leslie, but not only is she with a woman in the video, though she”s denied being bisexual, but she also reveals that the video was made without the other woman”s knowledge or consent. Abi can be heard saying on the tape, “She didn”t want us to take her photo. She didn”t want us to set up the camera.” Whether Abi and Leslie could be criminally liable for the video session remains to be seen.

Lord have mercy! Britney Spears is spiraling down so fast, I’m having a hard time keeping up with her. Every time Britney resurfaces (after going underground to wait out her latest controversy) and goes out in public she manages to stumble into another faux pas.
