Venus Williams’s underwear choice has stirred up controversy at the Australian Open.

The usually conservative Williams wore a pair of flesh-coloured boy shorts that drew comments she had pushed the envelope and gone “commando”.

Williams, 29, who is at the Melbourne tournament with her sister Serena, took to Twitter to say,

“I am wearing undershorts the same color as my skin, so it gives the slits in my dress the full effect!”

Some fans had been outraged by the choice. One wrote on Venus’s website: “Please put on some decent panties. I do not watch tennis to see your exposed buttocks!”

Another took the opposite view, writing: “I just love her dress – it has flare (sic) and it has imagination.”

Venus and Serena rightfully see themselves as fashion-setters in women’s tennis, taking great care with each and every outfit.

For Venus, it was all about the slits. She tweeted: “My dress for the Austrailian Open (sic) has been one of my best designs ever! Its all about the slits and V-Neck.”

Kate Beckinsale has confessed that she regularly worries about her looks.

Despite recently being crowned ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ by Esquire US, the actress insisted that she still has just as many physical hang-ups as the next woman.

“I’ve always had doubts about my looks. Most women have body issues and I’m no different,” she said.

In 2004, Beckinsale was rumoured to have had a boob job after being asked to gain 14lbs for her role in The Aviator.

The 26-year-old has now admitted that she let the rumours bother her, telling a UK magazine: “We were suddenly talking about breasts – not brains. At one point, I felt as though everyone was out to get me.

“I was having everything examined from my cellulite to my choice of films. I had allowed my self to be flattered when all this talk of breasts started because I assumed it meant I looked good. But when I found out it meant I had horrible boobs, I was taken aback. I began to wonder why I cared about things which, essentially, don’t matter at all.”

Hollywood actress Eva Mendes has said she once cried before filming a sex scene as she was so nervous.

The 35-year-old admitted that she was upset before filming the scene with Joaquin Phoenix in movie We Own The Night as she was so nervous.

She said to UK magazine Reveal: “He had to kiss my bare breast and put his hand in between my legs. I look as if I’m really into it, but I was crying before it was filmed.

“I was so nervous and became emotional and the director asked me: ‘What can I do?’ I said: ‘There is a little Catholic girl still inside me.’ And he replied: ‘Tell her to go home.’

“He ordered a large vodka and orange and I drank it and got on with the scene. I didn’t hold back. But once it was over, I was thinking: ‘Oh my God! My dad cannot see this movie!”

Carol McGiffin has shown off her sexy body in a gold bikini in one of her holiday snaps.

The Loose Women presenter went on holiday to Greece with her toyboy fiance Mark Cassidy and he took a photograph of her in the bikini and white platform shoes.

She said: “I thought it was a joke, but he said if I show it to everyone, I’d get a lot more male attention.

“Here I am on holiday in my joke gold bikini and my white platform shoes posing at the door of our room. Don’t you think it’s a bit Austin Powers?”

The 49-year-old said she doesn’t get much male attention but said: “Over a certain age you only get it from behind.”

She added: “So sometimes we get, ‘Beep beep’ and you turn around and they go, ‘Eurgh’.

“I don’t mind it at all but I don’t get it. I don’t get male attention. I get it from Mark and that’s the only person I really want it from. I was quite flattered by something Robbie Williams once said about me in Heat magazine but I don’t really get it,” she told Loose Women.

The Ugly Truth star Katherine Heigl said it was “really exhausting” filming a scene in her new movie where she had to fake an orgasm.

Katherine, 30, stars in the new movie alongside Scottish hunk Gerard Butler, 39.

In one particular scene, Katherine has a “When Harry Met Sally” moment when her character has an orgasm after mistakenly wearing a pair of vibrating pants to dinner and the control ends up in the wrong hands.

Talking about filming the scene, she said: “Oh, my God, it was a nightmare. It was really exhausting – legs dancing under the table and all the tensing-up of the body.

“By the end of the day, I felt like I’d run a marathon. No one wants to orgasm 35 times a day!”

Daniel Radcliffe reckons Twilight actor Robert Pattinson is sexier than him.

The Harry Potter star said he didn’t understand why women found him attractive and advised them to go for Pattinson instead.

He said: "It’s very kind of them but I don’t know. If girls like short and nerdy, then I’m a sex symbol.

"Rob Pattinson is a sex symbol. He’s a genuinely sexy guy – he’s got the height."

Radcliffe shot to fame when he won the role of Harry Potter in 2000. Now 19, he has swathes of female fans. But he said he didn’t like looking back over the earlier films.

He said: "For me to look back on the old films is an almost entirely destructive thing to do. I just torture myself over it. I mean, I was young.

"I can’t be held accountable for the performance I gave in the first two films – I was 11 and 12. I wasn’t like Dakota Fanning… who could seemingly just do it. It was very much a child’s performance."

He added: "Something happened at the age of 14. I started taking it more seriously, which meant I started having more fun."

Celebrity couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith "hardly ever agree on anything", the actress has said about their 11-year marriage.

The husband-and-wife team – who often talk publicly about their happy relationship – apparently don’t always see eye-to-eye.

"We hardly ever agree on anything," the 37-year-old actress revealed.

"And we’ve learned to really respect that in our relationship."

Smith – who appears on the cover of Redbook – tells the US magazine: "In relationships you have to be elastic.

"If I say ‘black’, Will says ‘white’. That’s just how we work…

"We crack up about it all the time."

And when it comes to keeping their relationship hot, the actress – who plays a nurse in the new TV drama Hawthorne – recommends "nice outfits and high-heels”.

Sex in a variety of places also helps the Smiths to keep things hot.

"It doesn’t take a lot of money – wallets are tight right now – so just simple stuff…” says the Human Contract actress.

"Even a drive – and then pull over on the side of the road. Think of places outside that are comfortable to have sex,” she added.

Is Melanie Griffith an embarrassing parent?

The Working Girl star was spotted leaving a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles with her daughter Dakota when she was asked what’s the secret to a perfect marriage?

“Sex. Great Sex,” replied Griffith as she hopped into her convertible black Bentley with her daughter, who appeared red-faced.

Griffith, who has been married to Spanish actor Antonio Banderas for 13 years, continued to pour her heart out, saying “It’s the love, baby. The love,” before driving off.

The 51-year-old actress wears her love for Banderas in the shape of a heart tattoo on her arm with ‘Antonio’ scrawled in it.

The license plate of her Bentley also reads MG hearts AB.

Griffith and Banderas first met in 1995 while filming the romantic comedy ‘Two Much’.

They married a year later, and unlike many Hollywood marriages theirs has lasted the test of time.

Griffith has three children, son Alexander, from a previous marriage to actor Steven Bauer, Dakota, from her marriage to Don Johnson and Stella, her only child with Banderas.

Griffith’s oldest daughter Dakota, 19, followed in her mother’s footsteps and served as Miss Golden Globe at the 2006 Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Griffith herself was Miss Golden Globe in 1975, a title given as a launching pad to celebrity offspring breaking into show business.

Dakota is also signed to a model agency, IMG Model and is the face of MANGO brand’s jeans line.

Zac Efron is seen here posing with his Breakthrough Performer of the Year Award — at the ShoWest awards ceremony at the Paris Las Vegas on Thursday (April 2) in Las Vegas, Nevada. Congrats Zac.

While at the event, he explained to EW why he turned down the role of Ren McCormack in Footloose saying:

“I’m sure Footloose would have been a huge challenge but the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That’s what’s always going to appeal to me: the unknown.”

Here’s a great little clip of Zac when he made a guest appearance on Ellen Degeneres’s show about emulating her hairstyle:

Fergie celebrated her 34th birthday at the Fontainebleau Resort’s Liv nightclub in Miami Beach on Friday night as a part of ROCK Fashion week, a four-day event that celebrates the fusion of music and fashion.

She looked quite stylish in her sexy silver dress and had this to say about her hubby Josh:

“Now that the wedding is over, we are so chill and comfortable together – the feeling I have about Josh is like coming home. There is that small and intimate feeling I have all of the time that tells me things are so right!”

On Saturday Fergie performed with the Black Eyed Peas at the Ultra Music Festival in Florida.
