UK Elle: Kate Beckinsale Gets Sexy

Sassy Smith — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 14:10:00 GMT

Kate Beckinsale, A-list actress, wife to film director Len Wiseman and mom to daughter Lily, 9 does the December issue of UK Elle and the 35-year-old Brit is looking fantastic! She dishes on family, her career and life in general.

More photos after the jump!

Kate on her 'californication' transformation - she hopes it's not true:

"Californi-what?’ she asks, with a sardonic smile. "Oh Christ, I hope not. OK, the smoking I’ll give you, but I didn’t give it up simply to fit in, I just lost the compulsion. Honest. Otherwise, I’m still very much the girl from Chiswick, alright?"

On having an assistant:

"I know, I know, it’s ridiculous, right? I remember when Claire Danes turned up on this movie we were doing together [1999’s Brokedown Palace] with an assistant, and I just couldn’t believe it. I didn’t understand why anybody would need somebody to assist you to act. The production crew insisted on hiring me one as well, and I was traumatised. I only have one assistant though," she says, "and it really does make life easier out here. But let me just point out that I am always very nice to her, I haven’t lost my British manners. The way I see it, you can’t possibly shout at someone who knows which kind of tampons you use, can you?"

On becoming a successful actress:

"If you’d told me when I was 18 I’d one day be in a film with Robert De Niro," she says, her eyes saucers, "I’d never have believed you. In fact, I still don’t. They say I’m a successful actress these days, but I still feel like a right old herbert somehow…"

On getting pregnant unexpectedly at age 24 (with ex Michael Sheen):

"No, I wasn’t worried about the impact having a baby would have on my career. I was so young that taking a year out didn’t seem like a big deal. Somehow it seems a scarier prospect now. It wasn’t easy balancing my work and a baby to start off with, though. When I was doing Pearl Harbor, I didn’t want to employ a nanny, as I couldn’t bear the idea of someone else looking after Lily."

On relocating to the US:

"Nobody knew who I was when I first got here," she says. "All they saw was this Chekhov-reading Brit who had, as they saw it, no edge. I tried hard to prove otherwise." Which explains the succession of high-octane thrillers she subsequently starred in, one of which, 2003’s Underworld (vampires, werewolves, fangs galore), propelled her into the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons: a love scandal. "Yep," she nods, "I fell in love with the director, and ran away with him." (Her now husband Len Wiseman)

On working-out:

"I just can’t make it part of my daily life. I go to the gym when I have to, and if I have to bulk up or slim down for a film, I will. I’ve recently got back into exercising four times a week. Although I hate what a personal trainer represents, mine is really good – we mainly do weights and running. I run for half an hour at a time but never outdoors as I don’t exercise in public. My gym’s in my garage at home."

On daughter Lily's film debut (in Everybody’s Fine, playing Kate’s character as a child):

"She told me that she enjoyed the experience, but would rather become a writer instead. She’s currently writing seven novels. Quite a girl, my Lily."

Well, hell, they did a good job - she looks fabulous!

Kate is married to director Len Wisemen and has a daughter, Lily Mo with ex boyfriend Michael Sheen.

Kate Beckinsale's Nude Shower Scene

Kate Beckinsale and Lily: Mommy and Daughter Time

Kate Beckinsale on the 4th

Kate WOULD Get Naked, If Only Those Nasty Producers Would Let Her

HerBadMother — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:01:00 GMT

Kate Beckinsale doesn't have a problem with her ass, and she's quite happy to strip down and share that ass with the world. Problem is, Warner Bros. prefers body doubles.

The Internets have been buzzing about a story that claimed that Kate demanded a body double for a nude scene in her upcoming drama, Whiteout, because she's ashamed of her bum. But Warner Bros., which is producing the film, is claiming that the rumors are false:

"The claims appearing on the Internet today that Kate Beckinsale requested a body double for filming Whiteout are absolutely untrue," the studio said. "As is standard practice on many movies, a body double was hired for several scenes by the production and not at the request of Kate Beckinsale."

Producer Susan Downey also chimed in: "Kate Beckinsale made no request for a body double for this production.'"

Oh, okay. So Kate would have been quite happy to forego the body double, but the producers insisted? Is that really better, PR-wise, than the story that Kate's insecure about her ass? I mean, I can totally sympathize with a woman - especially a mom- being insecure about her ass. The idea that body doubles are standard in the industry - presumably because the average actress's body might not be up to snuff? That bugs me. LOTS.

Kate Beckinsale's Nude Shower Scene

Sassy Smith — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:36:00 GMT

When I think of Kate Beckinsale, which, uh, isn't often - I certainly don't think of her as someone with a big booty. She's an attractive actress, outspoken and bold and mother to daughter Lily - a lot of things, but not a lady with mega junk in her trunk if you know what I'm sayin'. However, she would probably disagree with me - for her recent film, she's asked that a body double be used for the nude scenes because she thinks she's fat and has a big bottom. Please! That's ridiculous....

Photo after the jump!

Kate bared her butt in the 1994 film Uncovered - and yes, it's huge! Please.

Beckinsale has a nude shower scene in her latest movie Whiteout but producers have had to hire a $2,000-a-day stand-in for the 34-year-old actress.

A source on set 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. Of course, the reality is that she has the most amazing body.

"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."

Silver Pictures put out an ad for a 5ft 8in brunette, weighing around 126 lbs (holy fat, batman - insert eyeroll here).

"It's a shower scene so there is no intimacy."

The source continued, "Kate just didn’t want to show her bottom, even though everyone on the set was saying how good it looks in jeans. She said she couldn’t face the thought of seeing her butt up on a big screen. She will have the final veto over who stands in for her."

Kate may get her low-self body image from her father - he died at the young age of 32, and suffered anorexia as a teen. She has, in the past, talked about her body issues and the unrealistic pressure on women in the industry.

She said to Glamour mag, "I don’t think you can aspire to the Hollywood 'look' and nor can I."Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think, 'Why don’t I look like that now?' It’s because I never have. If I could swap places for a day it would be with someone with gigantic, real breasts. I am fascinated by breasts because my mother didn’t have them either."

Hopefully Kate can learn to project a positive self image, especially when it comes to her 9-year-old daughter Lily, who, I'm sure looks up to her mom! And Kate, seriously, your ass ain't big!

Kate Beckinsale - Hot In The Sack, Sucks In The Kitchen

Sassy Smith — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:09:00 GMT

Kate Beckinsale is a talented actress on the big screen and apparently quite talented in the bedroom, which of course would be good news for her husband. However, she lacks considerably in the kitchen and while her man may not have married her for her culinary skills, her daughter might have a problem with her mother not being a good cook! Kate sure likes to speak her mind on such matters (bedroomy stuff) too. She once called her vagina the "Pharoh's Tomb,"and that it was her best asset. Ya, thanks Kate. I'm sure Lily thanks you too.

The 34-year-old told Glamour mag, "I'm the worst wife in the cooking department. I always thought you can't be good at food and sex, but you can always order the food in.

"I'd rather he didn't order in the sex."

She's outspoken, I'll give her that. Besides, we all can't be good at everything. I suck at cooking too. *Wink*

Kate Beckinsale Loves Her Lovely Lady Parts

HerBadMother — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 13:32:00 GMT

What's Kate Beckinsale's best feature, according to Kate Beckinsale? Quick, guess!

Her hair? Her skin? Her boobies?

Nope. None of the above. Nothing, in fact, above the waist.

What Kate loves most about herself? Her "tw*t." You can quote her on that.

In the latest issue of Allure magazine, Kate makes it clear that her lovely lady bits are really something to behold: "My best feature is unfortunately a private matter, although I'm told it is spectacular. But you can't really walk it down the red carpet. What can I say?" she laughed, before silently mouthing the words "my tw*t" at the interviewer.

That said, she insists that only a priviliged few have enjoyed the view down there. "I was called a slut when I split up with Michael [Sheen] and began seeing Len [Wiseman], but I've only ever had about three boyfriends,” she admits to the magazine. “Only a handful of people have seen into the Pharaoh's Tomb!"

That's quite something, to love your Pharaoh's Tomb even after you've had the passageway battered by a fetal Indiana Jones. Maybe her Tomb is better constructed than most. I find that the interior walls of mine are lacking some of the structural integrity that they enjoyed before facing their first full-scale dig. But whatever. Maybe hers is less ancient.

Kate Beckinsale is a Devil in a Red Dress

Whit Honea — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:30:00 GMT

Kate Beckinsale knows that you don't have to dress slutty to be sexy (but it helps!). All you need are some killer boots and a bit of evil. Presto. Sexy she-devil.

Seriously, I've never looked twice at Kate, but she's looking hot, and not like hell-fire hot, but hawt. Who knew?

I guess Satan, aka Len Wiseman, did. Bad boys get all the chicks.

I don't know what's up with Lily. She looks good, but she's rocking the boat a little. Do they have saloon shows in Hades?

Here they are, so fresh and so clean (clean).

Kate Beckinsale: The Mom Must Go On

Whit Honea — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:03:00 GMT

When Kate Beckinsale's Range Rover broke down on her way to pick up her daughter Lily, she did what any parent would do- rent a chauffeured town car. That's what I call thinking on your feet. If my ride broke down I'd have to wait until the city sent another bus. My kids would be standing outside a locked building wondering if Daddy had forgotten them again.

I'm putting the town car people in my cell, maybe even Top 5.

Kate Beckinsale did the same thing that every other muggle parent in the free world did this weekend and bought her daughter, Lily, a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I didn't even know it was out yet.

Just kidding, I read it over the weekend. Good stuff.

It Doesn't Matter How Hot You Are, Kate Beckinsale, Your Kid Will Always Think PDAs Are Gross

HerBadMother — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 19:34:00 GMT

OK, so I think that it's sweet that the Beckinsale/Wisemans go everywhere and do everything together, but it still seems to me that young Lily is teetering on the edge of disaffected goth-ness or, at least, affected adolescent angst in extremis (look that up in your DSM IV). Here, again, at LAX, she's clutching her ever-present reading material protectively, as if to ward off the PDA cooties that her mom and step-dad are shedding like dandruff.

You can almost hear her rolling her and eyes and thinking GAWD mom could you stop that already? Just goes to show - and I hope that all the goths out there will take heart from this - your parents can be all down with the Underworld and all that and still be terminally uncool.

Kate Beckinsale and Family Have Some Questions

Whit Honea — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:03:00 GMT

Hands up, who loved Pearl Harbor? I thought so. Oh, wait, Kate Beckinsale, husband Les Wiseman, and daughter Lily, are just waving a cab in NYC. That could take longer than sitting through the movie.

Don't worry guys, one will stop. Maybe you should whistle.

Lily Beckinsale in "The Cure for Potential Goth Kids"

Remember when we put Kate Beckinsale's daughter Lily on goth-watch? Turns out the girl just needed a change of attire to brighten her day.

The one in this picture that needs to be watched is dad, Len Wiseman. What's up with the painted toenails? I bet he has a pack of cloves in his pocket too.
