Kate Winslet was happy to be stark naked

Tbd-katewinslet070909 If you got an eyeful of Kate Winslet in her Oscar-winning role in The Reader, she wants you to know she's glad, since being nude for the role was no biggie.

"If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that's great," she says in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. But there's an expiration date for everything.

"I'll be 34 in October. I can't keep getting away with (nudity)," she says. "There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back."

To what does she owe her longevity in an industry that shucks actresses like ears of corn? Being careful: "When everyone was out getting plastered, I didn't do all of that. I was working. I was doing life," she adds. "Now that I look back, I feel very lucky. I've never taken drugs, never been offered cocaine."

Wow, always taking off her clothes on camera and drug-free -- what a role model for today's young starlets.

David and Victoria Beckham half naked together

Tbd-davidvictoriabeckham070309 Yes, we know David and Victoria Beckham have become largely irrelevant to American audiences, but hey, they're still doing those Emporio Armani underwear ads. And you know where those two separate campaign were leading: to a mega-super-double-duty ad with both of the Brits. These two billboard-bound shots by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are pretty suggestive -- and they suggest these two still have some street cred left.

Olivia Munn in Iron Man 2, on Playboy cover

Tbd-oliviamunn061909b The Juice* has been looking for an excuse to write about Olivia Munn for awhile now, and finally, we have it! Actually, we have several: It seems the co-host of G4's Attack of the Show! is going to have a role in Iron Man 2, among others. This is why God invented Twitter!

The 26-year-old geek idol let slip via @OliviaMunn that she was not only going to be in the Steve Carrell and Tina Fey comedy Date Night, but she was in Iron Man 2, which was confirmed by Variety. She couldn't say what her role was, however, citing contractual obligations.

"It is definitely a bigger role than 'big stan'," she tweeted, citing her cameo in Rob Schneider's 2007 directorial debut. After some prodding, she joked: "I am playing the role of War Machine in Iron Man 2. Terrance Howard, Don Cheadle and now Olivia Munn! ha!"

It's safe to say she's joking there, but get ready for some major Olivia exposure. She's in the upcoming Broken Lizard comedy The Slammin Salmon and Freeloaders from director Dan Rosen, Variety adds, plus popping up in Entertainment Weekly and on the cover of the latest Playboy. Don't get too excited, though; she doesn't show anything. But unlike Jessica Alba's infamous 2006 row, Munn actually knew about being a cover girl.

Fergie gained 17 pounds with Penelope Cruz

Tbd-fergie061709 Did you recently think Fergie was pregnant, just because she put on a smidge of weight and was marrying Josh Duhamel? Sorry to shatter your preconceptions, but the truth is the director of Nine told both she and Penelope Cruz to gain 17 pounds or so for the role -- something they had no problem doing.

"We were eating our brains out, she says in the new issue of Allure. "We ordered everything fried and full of fat and salty."

But getting the weight off after filming proved to be a problem. She couldn't lose it on her own, and eventually hired Duhamel's trainer to force her through two-hour sessions several times a week.

"It was a very gradual thing, getting back into it and finally letting a trainer train me," she says. "I didn't want to be told what to do, and I wasn't mentally ready to crack the whip."

That leaves us wondering, just how much airbrushing is being done on the cover of the new mag, then?

Megan Fox is officially single (and really hot)

Tbd-meganfox061609 That crashing sound you hear is red-blooded male geeks (and a few female ones) everywhere fainting dead away at the news that Megan Fox is indeed single. First Brian Austin Green loses his job on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and now this? Y'all better take his shoelaces away.

Besides showing up at the Berlin premiere of The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in a gown that could shatter glass just by walking by, Fox confirmed to the U.K.'s Sun that she and her fiance are officially off: "I'm currently what you would call single, I guess."

But before you break out the Brylcreem, put on a fresh pair of Dickies and ask your mom for the keys to the car, be warned that she's already got her sights set on someone else.

"There is this Korean Justin Timberlake named Rain and I'm really on his situation now," she said. "I'm trying to fix this up. I'm working hard."

Obviously, if that dress is any indication of how she's going to promote herself.

UPDATE: She also wore this spicy backless number to the London premiere Monday night, but she didn't reveal any amazing news like being single there, so it wasn't as big a deal:

Octomom Nadya Suleman rails against Kate Gosselin bikini photos

If you've dared to turn on your InTArWebz in the last couple of days, you've been bombarded by photos of Kate Gosselin lounging around the beach on Bald Head Island, N.C., showing off her bikini bod. And of course, you know who doesn't like that: Nadya Suleman.

Tbd-kategosselin060409 The ubiquitous Octomom railed against the Jon & Kate Plus 8 star in a video on RadarOnline (watch it here), ripping up some of the "staged" bikini photos and calling Gosselin "desperate for attention." Whoa, Mrs. Pot, meet Mrs. Kettle. Suleman also says she would eschew a bikini herself, opting for boy-shorts or something similar. Gag.

Nadya also says she would never have a tummy tuck, like Kate did when she got a free surgery just for being so cool. Ah yes, Nads, but the surgery was free; we know you're into that.

We'll also gloss over the Us story that says Kate was yelling at her 8-year-old twin daughters while staying at a $1,807-per-night rental home after pulling them out of school for the show's vacation. Said nearby vacationer Kim Kirsch: "Everyone that's encountered her says she's been rude, mean and hateful." Notice Kim doesn't say what she thinks; could it be she hasn't actually met Gosselin herself?

Gisele tops list of top-earning supermodels

Giselebundchen052909 Forbes gives us yet another reason to show photos of supermodels, releasing its list of the richest 10 catwalk queens. According to the mag, Gisele Bundchen is the top earner yet again, pulling in $25 million. The recession has hit even models, it seems, as that total is a cool $10 million less than last year.

And while Gisele refutes claims she's pregnant (a rumor dogging her since her January wedding to Tom Brady), she may want to jump on the bandwagon. Heidi Klum came in second with $16 million, and she's expecting her fourth baby.

Kate Moss isn't expecting at No. 3 with $8.5 million, but Adriana Lima will use her $8 million to help out with her recently announced maternity plans with NBA hubby Marko Jaric. Doutzen Kroes and Allesandra Ambrosio rounded out the top 5 (and 6) with $6 million.

Mere living-wage earners Natalie Vodionova ($5.5 million), Daria Webowy ($4.5 million), Miranda Kerr ($3 million) and Carolyn Murphy ($3 million) finished the list, which coincidentally is the same list we never discuss with Mrs. Juice*.

Gwyneth Paltrow is feuding with Scarlett Johansson on Iron-Man 2 set

Sounds like Jessica Biel isn't the only one coveting Scarlett Johansson's assets. The U.K.'s Sun says Gwyneth Paltrow is tangling with ScarJo on the set of Iron-Man 2, because there can be only one!

Tbd-gwynethpaltrow052009 “Gwyneth has become very frustrated with Scarlett. They come from different worlds and have completely different styles," a source tells the paper. “Gwyneth has found Scarlett very demanding of the attention of the crew. It’s not a happy set.”

Well, of course she'd find Johansson demanding, if by demanding you mean all the male members of the crew fawn all over her and not Paltrow. We can see how that would make her mad.

“Gwyneth and Scarlett have never been particularly close. Gwyneth was looking forward to working with Emily Blunt, who was originally in line for the part, but it ended up being Scarlett," the source continues. "Gwyneth’s had to live with that and she has been very professional, but she and Scarlett haven’t developed a friendship on the shoot, which is almost at the halfway point. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.”

Things have been so rough on poor Gwynnie that she just had to take a two-week break from filming so she could be comforted by husband Chris Martin. She's even gone so far as to join him for some of Coldplay's tour dates.

And while Paltrow is all sour grapes about how Scarlett gets to carry guns and wear skintight outfits while Gwyn has to be plain ol' Pepper Potts, she'll get her chance, the paper says.

“The most spectacular sequence in the movie is a huge fight between Robert (Downey Jr.) and Mickey Rourke, and she is going to be right in the thick of things," the source adds. Sounds like she's already the one starting fights.

Ashley Olsen says she's quitting acting

Tbd-ashleyolsen051809 Ashley Olsen has decided she's going to follow in the footsteps of Joaquin Phoenix and quit acting. Because she's been so busy, see.

"I've been transitioning from acting as a kid to doing something that I'm choosing for myself — to be part of the fashion industry," the 22-year-old tells VMAN magazine. "That's what I want for my future. It has nothing to do with my past, nothing to do with anyone else's agenda. And I followed my heart the whole way."

To be fair, she runs two labels, The Row and Elizabeth and James; even Mary-Kate gets involved sometimes: "She's my partner ... but she trusts me with the everyday. I mean, I see her like 10 times a day."

That sounds like more reason to go back to acting than anything.

Miss California Carrie Prejean can keep title

Tbd-carrieprejean051309 Leave it to Donald Trump to find a way to make the controversy surrounding Miss California Carrie Prejean about him. He was sure to be front and center when he announced at New York's Trump Tower on Tuesday that she could keep her crown despite a recent spate of topless photos.

"We are in the 21st century. We have determined the pictures taken are fine," he said, adding that "in some cases the pictures were lovely." We're guessing they didn't even discuss Prejean's aformentioned breast augmentation, which was paid for by the pageant.

Trump said he and other pageant officials had looked over the photos (we'll bet they did) and decided they were acceptable, the AP reports. Did they also see the new ones that TMZ just posted Tuesday? But Trump was sure to also defend Prejean's stance on gay marriage, which started all this mess.

"It's the same answer the president of the United States gave; it's the same answer many people gave," Trump said. "She gave an honorable answer; she gave an answer from her heart." Watch the video below.

We don't care about the gay marriage stuff, since that's up there with abortion and the death penalty on the list of Topics We're Not Going To Ask You About, but it's great to see the pageant uphold their claims of promoting women who act "in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards."
