After hosting a show like Laughter challenge and interviewing various cricketers, Shonali Nagrani is now b seen hosting a multifaceted reality show on Sony, Mr. and Ms. Television.
Here is the pretty lasso sharing her experience on hosting shows…
Q. First of all tell us about your experience hosting Mr. and Ms. Television?
A. It's been an amazing experience till now. I have learnt a lot from this show. As an anchor, it's a whole amount of pressure on you.
Nothing should go wrong from your side. In reality shows, twists and turns keep happening and you have to take the show along with it.
Q. How different is this show from the other reality shows been aired on various channels?
A. Every show has its own charm. As far as Mr. and Ms TV is concerned, this show not only showcases dancing talent of the actors but also every talent of theirs. Every actor who is multi-talented has got an opportunity on this platform.
Q. Will we be seeing you hosting the next season of Laughter Challenge?
A. Chances are very minute but there are some other things which are in the pipeline. I will tell everyone when the right time comes.
Q. And what about cricket. When would we see you back in action interviewing cricket stars?
A. I simply love hosting cricket. I think I had best time during World Cup. It was a very wonderful experience. Now that the IPL format has come, I am looking forward to getting involved in it. Besides IPL, there are many big things which are on my mind at the moment.
Q. What do you have to say about the new IPL format been introduced by BCCI?
A. Right now, I really don't want to comment on this. I would rather wait for a month and see how it takes off. I feel it's a great experiment. BCCI is always been very flexible for new changes. Though lots of old school cricketers are upset about it, but as far as I am concerned I am very happy with this new format.
Q. Why haven't we seen you in daily soaps?
A. Because I can't work endlessly like these actors. I am a very free-spirited person who likes to take off whenever I want to. And that life is more important to me than being a household name.
Q. You were been linked with Sreesanth in the past. How do you handle these kind of rumors?
A. Honestly I found it very funny. For me it was the first incident where I was put under a lot of pressure by media. From that incident I learnt one thing that even if you are talking to a famous person make sure that there are no cameras around or no people around.
Q. Where do you see yourself five years from now?
A. I am like the rolling stone which gathers no moss. I do not like to be static, so five years from now I would like to see myself out of the country. I have a feeling that I will keep going and coming back.
Q. Are you happy with your career graph?
A. Right now I am very happy. It's been two and half years now, and considering the kind of work I have done, I am more than satisfied. This is what I always wanted.
Q. Any other projects you are working on?
A. There is one show for Sahara Filmy called Filmy Cocktail which I am doing right now. And then there is one hosting show which I am going to do in future. I am strictly forbidden to talk about that, so I can't really divulge.
Bet Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s publicists wish they got a pay rise every time the rumor of the star couple’s marriage did the rounds.
Hollywood’s hottest couple married again this weekend — not. But this time their publicist deferred the knockdown of rumors of a wedding in a New Orleans wedding chapel to the chapel’s clergyman.
“Brad and Angelina did not get married by us,” the Rev. Tony Talavera, owner of the French Quarter Wedding chapel, told magazine Life & Style Weekly a day after the rumored Saturday wedding.
Talavera said he normally did not reveal who he did or did not marry at his wedding center just 14 blocks from the Jolie-Pitt home but he went public this time after Pitt’s people called him and asked him to “quash any misinformation that’s out there.”
“I have not met them personally,” said Talavera. ”This just got out of control. Their publicist asked me to give out a statement.”
But Talavera said he’d be happy to do the job for Pitt and Jolie if they ever do finally decide to rid themselves of the rumors and take the plunge.
“We extend the invitation. We’re glad they are neighbors,” he said.
The Pussycat Dolls - famed for their raunchy routines - must pay $3,400 for flashing body parts during a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last July.
During the routine, Carmit Bachar, who has since left the group, exposed a breast while Ashley Roberts was accused of revealing her private parts after her tiny pair of shorts left little to the imagination.
Promoters Absolute Entertainment were fined for allowing their act to perform "sexually suggestive" routines in the strict Muslim country.
The penalty was imposed by the council which manages the Kuala Lumpur suburb where the event took place.
The fine followed a complaint from Malaysia's culture minister Rais Yatim, who said the group's concert featured "scantily dressed performers" and "sensuous elements".
He added: "I believe the way the Pussycat Dolls behaved on stage amounted to gross indecency,"
Under the country's Muslim laws, a female performer must be covered from her shoulders to her knees.
Jumping, shouting or throwing of objects onstage or at the audience are all also banned.
Last year, Gwen Stefani and Beyoncé Knowles were forced to dramatically alter their dance routines and cover up during their concerts in the country.
Jessica Simpson - who has been dating American football star Tony Romo - was leaving Los Angeles restaurant Chili's when her mother Tina revealed the 27-year-old star has secretly wed.
When asked if Jessica was planning to marry Tony, Tina laughed: "Jessica is already married to Tony! What are you talking about?"
Jessica, who was previously married to singer Nick Lachey, giggled and added to gossip website TMZ: "Well I guess if my mom said it, it must be true!"
Earlier this year, Tony admitted he was thinking about marrying Jessica - but not yet.
The 27-year-old Dallas Cowboys star said: "I'm sure I'll get married one day. I don't know when though."
Tony's close friend Michael Starr also fuelled wedding rumours by saying: "I think they are going to get married."
Meanwhile, Jessica has reportedly splashed out $3.47 million on a mansion in the Forest Hills' gated community in Nashville, Tennessee.
The property, which is known as The Queen of Northumberland, boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and a cinema.
A source said: "Although the gated community includes a private club house with tennis courts and swimming pool for all the other rich residents, The Queen of Northumberland quite naturally has its own pool and tennis court, which means that Jessica need not fraternise and frolic with the other well-booted music industry residents."
Jessica, who is currently working on a country album, wouldn't be the first celebrity to move to Nashville.
Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow also own properties in the area.
Kate Moss is planning a gypsy-themed engagement party.
The supermodel, who is set to wed The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince later this year, has told friends she wants to throw a huge bash after accepting Jamie's marriage proposal.
Source said: "They are thinking about having the actual wedding in September, so the plan is to hold an engagement party in August. Kate asked all her mates for ideas for the engagement and Lily Allen suggested a gypsy-themed party. Kate got really excited and started talking about what she could wear."
Although Kate and Jamie were rumoured to have got engaged while in Amsterdam, Holland, last week, it has been claimed the rocker actually proposed in Paris, France.
The source said: "Kate said he got down on bended knee in Paris underneath the Eiffel Tower. They'd had a few drinks, so she didn't believe it at the time, but she said yes next day."
Meanwhile, Kate - who has been dating Jamie since August last year - is said to be trying for a baby.
The 34-year-old beauty wants to give her five-year-old daughter Lila Grace - from her previous relationship with magazine editor Jefferson Hack - a brother or sister.
A source said: "Kate really wants another baby and she knows that at 34 her biological clock is ticking."
Madonna has shown her unremitting support for Britney Spears, insisting that the media needs to "step off" the troubled singer.
In a recent interview with the “Yo on E!" satellite radio show, Madonna urged everyone to save the fading pop star. "They need to step off. For real...Let's go save her," E! Online quoted her, as telling the radio show.
The ‘Material Girl" singer revealed that Spears remains the favourite artist of her 11-year-old daughter Lourdes. Madonna, who"s married to film director Guy Ritchie, added that Lourdes “gets the drift of what"s going on, and I think she feels very protective of Britney."
She also insisted that like her daughter, she also remains a supporter of the beleaguered star.
Madonna recently revealed that she enjoys listening to Spears' Blackout album while exercising.
Britney and Madonna famously locked lips on the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards and collaborated on the song "Me Against the Music."
Madonna also said that she plans to spend the summer in New York and may go on tour in the fall to promote her new album, Hard Candy, due to be out April 29.
Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson desperately wants Oscar winning actress Charlize Theron to pose naked for PETA's "Go Naked" campaign.
Jameson admitted she thinks Theron should pose for animal rights group PETA's "Go Naked" campaign.
"It would be amazing if Charlize Theron did one of our 'Go Naked' campaigns. I saw her just the other day and she just blew me away.
"Charlize is so sexy - I would totally love for her to go naked. I'd die for that," Jameson said.
The adult star is the new spokesperson for the group's anti-leather campaign and added that Theron can take over from her as an "ultimate sex icon".
She said: "Bettie Page was the ultimate sex icon. Next came Marilyn Monroe, then Pamela Anderson, then me. Now I'm on the lookout for the next woman to pass my title on to. Charlize would be perfect.”
It’s official: Fergie and Josh Duhamel are engaged. This very private couple has kept mum about the status of their relationship, even when Fergie was caught wearing a diamond engagement ring during the November Music Awards on that special finger. Still no acknowledgment from her representative and it was back to the cat-and-mouse game of “are they/aren’t they?” which surrounds this couple. Finally, the rep admitted that they had been recently engaged at the end of 2007, but refused to admit the details. Well, just because they’re officially engaged now doesn’t mean that the rumors have stopped. Is Fergie pregnant? Some are suggesting that the wedding date has moved up to take into account a new addition to this couple.
Fergie, lead singer of the Black Eyed Peas, is said to be floating on air and deliriously happy. Maybe it’s because she can now wear that ring in public again without having to explain what it’s doing on that finger. We hope she does so we can get another peek at it. As to whether she’s pregnant, we’re back to guessing. If you ask her mother, she will staunchly deny the rumors, but then why are they moving their wedding date up? After dating Duhamel for three years, maybe she just doesn’t want to wait too long and let him wriggle out of it at the last minute?
It’s not unusual for celebrities to try to keep the private details of their lives private, but some things have to be public – whether you want them to be or not. A little bulge in that belly and all the world knows. And, what’s the point of buying a ring no one gets to look at anyways? So, keep your eyes on Fergie and Josh and soon the answers will be apparent.
Mariah Carey has lost so much weight she is as slim as a teenager.
The 'Touch My Body' singer claims she now has the figure of a svelte 16-year-old following her intensive diet and training regime.
She said: "I got too bulky. Now I'm down to my 11th grade size after lots of hard work with my personal trainer Patricia.
"It feels good, but at the same time it doesn't feel good because I can't eat what I want to eat."
Mariah recently revealed she flies her personal trainer from the Caribbean to New York for training sessions.
Marah carey said: "Patricia lives in St. Barts, poor girl. People say to me, 'Only you would fly someone from St. Barts in the Caribbean to New York to work out.' "
The 37-year-old star is currently using the Morsel Diet, which sees normal meals replaced by low-carbohydrate nibbles.
In 2006, Mariah claimed the diet was her own creation, and had helped her to lose 32lbs in just four months.
She said: "I kind of invented it. Basically you can have a tiny bit of everything you want - but it has to be less than a forkful."
Two women are fighting over Lindsay Lohan's affection. The "Mean Girls" actress is reportedly caught at the center of a fight between her lesbian friends desperate to get her love.
Former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel's daughter Courtenay Semel is reportedly competing with DJ Samantha Ronson for the actress/singer.
A source tells Star magazine, "Sam and Courtenay fight for Lindsay's attention. Both have told her they love her."
Samantha, whose parents are writer Ann Dexter-Jones and band manager Laurence Ronson, is often seen partying with the actress.
Samantha reportedly kept in constant contact with Lohan even when she was in rehab through their MySpace page.
One of the love letters Lohan reportedly sent Samantha reads, "Your [sic] all I have to live for babe. I want to marry you and have children with you. I need you to live!"
However, Courtenay and Lohan were reportedly living together in the Hollywood Hills until the two had a fight. But Courtenay, still "can't let go of Lindsay, and she'll do what she can to win her back."
Kate Hudson has further fuelled speculation she has rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson after the pair was spotted having dinner together in Florida.
The former couple met on the set of 2006 movie You, Me and Dupree and were romantically linked later that year (06), after Hudson split from her husband of six years, Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson.
Hudson and Wilson reportedly ended their relationship in June 2007, just two months before Wilson's attempted suicide in August that year.
But rumours of a reconciliation have been rife after the pair were photographed spending time together in Miami, Florida, earlier this month March 2008.
The former lovers have now offered the strongest hint yet they have reunited after diners at the city's Casa Tua restaurant spotted the pair eating out with friends.
Pagesix ate off each other's plates. They were dining with another couple, and she was in a bathing suit and cover-up even though it was 10pm".
Hudson and Wilson were also seen out the following night enjoying a romantic dinner at Michael's Genuine eaterie.

The former 'Baywatch' actress - who recently filed for divorce from third husband Rick Salomon - wants to focus on 11-year-old Brandon and 10-year-old Dylan, her sons with ex-spouse Tommy Lee.
She told US talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "My attention is devoted to just kids at the moment. That's taking up a lot of time.
"As for men, I don't even know what my type is. I think men are like books - with a beginning, a middle and an end."
Pammie - who was also briefly married to musician Kid Rock - also revealed she has been working as a patrol crossing warden outside the boys' school.
She said: "I get a lot of high fives. People think it's quite funny that I'm there doing that! But, I'm a mom, and you have to do it and I love it."
Lindsay Lohan's massive tantrum at a recent fashion show, courtesy her feud with Paris Hilton, made her lose a big pay-day.
The 'Mean Girls' star was presenting a fashion show before reportedly storming out halfway through after discovering Paris' handbag range was one of its sponsors. Angry organizers were so incensed by her hissy fit that they are refusing to stump up the reported 17,500 pounds fee she was set to receive for just two hours work.
Lohan riled the organizers further more after she swiped a free goodie bag containing an array of expensive items on her way out. Unfortunately for Lohan, her disappearing act was easily forgotten by the audiences and Paris along with boyfriend Benji Madden stole the show.
"I'm grossly disappointed in Lindsay for not fulfilling her contractual duties.
"But Paris truly saved the night. She was very gracious to everyone and was the life of the party," The Sun quoted Claus Hjelmbak, a party organizer, as saying.
Paris recently banned Lindsay from her birthday party. In February they got in a cat fight at Timbaland's pre-Grammy party.
Naomi Watts has prompted speculation she and boyfriend Liev Schreiber have married in secret in Australia, by showing off a ring on her wedding finger.
The pair have been in Watts' homeland while her beau shoots new movie Wolverine there.
But Australian newspapers are speculating they took time out to tie the knot during Watts' trip down under to visit Schreiber - after a snapper caught the actress "wearing a large diamond ring and another band with smaller diamonds on her ring finger" as she arrived back in Los Angeles on Monday 17 March 2008
The couple were forced to issue a statement denying they had married in June 2007 after Schreiber joked to reporters, "We are married. You got it first.
Break the story!" This time around, Watts' representative is refusing to confirm or deny the reports, "I don't comment on her personal life".

Dolly Parton says men who don't stare at her chest are gay.
The '9 to 5' singer, who is renowned for her bigger breasts, insists she can tell what a man is interested in the minute she meets them.
Dolly is quoted by the National Enquirer magazine as saying: "When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he's thinking by where he is looking. See, if he is looking at my eyes, he is looking for intelligence. If he is looking at my mouth, well, he is looking for wit and wisdom.
"But if he is looking anywhere else except my chest he is looking for another man!"
The 62-year-old star was recently forced to postpone her upcoming tour because her DD chest was causing her back problems.
She said: "Hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems."
In 2004, Dolly revealed she was considering having a breast reduction to relieve the pressure on her back.
The 'Jolene' singer said: "My boobs are killing me - and I don't know if I can stand the pain any longer. They have been a trademark for me - but I've paid one hell of a price."
An unhealthy obsession with celebrity culture is damaging the academic success of British students, a survey of teachers has found, with celebrity couple the Beckhams the favourite inspiration.
Many students are ignoring career aspirations to pursue the chance of fame instead, the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) survey found.
Almost two-thirds of teachers said sports stars were the type of celebrity most pupils wanted to emulate while more than half of students wanted to be pop stars.
The celebrities students aspired to be most like, the survey said, were Los Angeles-based David and Victoria Beckham, arguably Britain's most famous couple.
Soccer player "Becks" topped the poll, with more than half the teachers saying their students modelled themselves on the 32 year-old. In second place, with almost a third of the poll's vote, was his 33 year-old wife and pop star "Posh".
In an era of reality television "stars" and a media fixation with celebrities, a majority of teachers sd ceailebrity culture negatively impacted the aspirations of their pupils.
Many bemoaned students who "wanted to be famous for being famous".
Almost half of the 300 teachers polled said pupils tried to look like and/or behave like celebrities they most admired, fuelling fears that girls particularly dressed in "unsuitable", or provocative styles.
"We are not surprised about infiltration of celebrity culture in schools - it reflects the current media obsession with celebrity and the effect of celebrity culture on society as a whole," Association of Teachers and Lecturers general secretary Mary Bousted said in a statement.
"Celebrities can have a positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils' aspirations and ambitions for the future.
"However ... celebrity culture can perpetuate the notion that celebrity status is the greatest achievement and reinforces the belief that other career options are not valuable."
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard ranked third on the favourites list with 26 percent, actress Keira Knightley fourth (25 percent) and "Doctor Who" star David Tennant fifth (23 percent).
Other celebrities on the list included US heiress and socialite Paris Hilton (sixth) and Leona Lewis, a winner of Britain's "The X Factor" television talent show (ninth).
One primary school teacher from Scunthorpe, in the country's northeast, Elizabeth Farrar, said: "Too many of the pupils believe that academic success is unnecessary, because they will be able to access fame and fortune quite easily through a reality TV show."
David Beckhams former lover Rebecca Loos has re-emerged in a new steamy and topless avatar.

Loos has gone from a 28in waist to a tiny 25, reports News of the World.

The litany of speculations surrounding Jennifer Aniston's presumed quest for a father to her child continues. The latest to be linked with the 39-year-old is her current co-star Owen Wilson.
The two are currently in Miami on the set of the comedy film Marley and Me in which they play husband and wife.
"The hugging didn't end when the cameras stopped rolling," a crew member told Star. "They were very flirty together, far more than you would expect. In between takes they were hanging onto each other. They are very friendly."
Aniston and Owen have known each other for some time now. In October 2007, while Owen was recovering from the trauma of his suicide attempt in August, Aniston sent him some of her favorite books, including The Power of Now, according to Star.
A friend of Aniston confirms to OK! that the Friends star could be interested in Owen who can make Aniston laugh.
However, says the friend, Aniston continues to be also interested in Vancouver- based Brian Bouma, a key grip she met on the set of Traveling in Vancouver. The two were first linked after being spotted leaving BFF Courteney Cox's house late February.
Aniston and Bouma reportedly keep in touch over the phone and Bouma may visit Miami soon.
So what about sighting of Owen spending some quality time with ex Kate Hudson who was in Miami to attend a film festival?
A friend of says, "He isn't seeing anyone seriously; he wants to keep his options open."

The 'Pearl Harbor' actress - who is regularly voted one of the most beautiful women in the world - claims she was unattractive in her teenage years and hasn't managed to shed her insecurities.
She said: "I was monumentally ugly until I was about 15 so I still have that mindset."

The 'Underworld' star - who is married to director Len Wiseman - says she was so concerned about her attractiveness while growing up, she convinced herself no boy would ever be interested in her.

She said: "I have days when I feel great, and days when my a** won't fit in my jeans and I don't leave the house."
Watch out Angelina, move over Charlize, step aside Halle. There's a new 'it' girl in Tinseltown. Carlizina. Recently, Worth1000 challenged artists to create the "Ultimate Celebrity" by combining the best facial features of Hollywood's hottest actresses.
"It looks like a real person," says site founder Avi Muchnick of the winning entry. "Some of the others looked a little bit exaggerated, like they were trying to blend pieces that didn't work. But here, [the artist] took different pieces of the individuals that made them attractive, and made them very seamless."
Other entries blended Theron's beautiful nose and mouth with Michelle Pfeiffer's classic cheekbones, or Emma Watson's fresh face with Christina Aguilera's slammin' body.
Jolie's perfect pout popped up on most pictures, along with signature features from Theron, Scarlett Johansson and Halle Berry. "Ocean's Eleven's" gorgeous George Clooney and Brad Pitt were the hunk heavyweights.
Still, some submissions managed to look more Frankenstein than fantasy girl. "That one's really creepy," says Muchnick, referring to a mashup of Milla Jovovich, Kate Beckinsale, Keri Russell, Cindy Crawford, Jessica Simpson and Monica Bellucci called Hot Stuff. "It almost looks masculine."
Muchnick's own uber-hottie would include the best sides of Johansson, Jolie and Claire Forlani - as well as his wife, of course. "They have very distinctive eyes - that does include my wife," he says. "They draw attention to the narrowness of their face and highlight how proportional it is. I guess they're all generally pretty. ... I'm going to get in so much trouble when this article comes out!"

Theron teamed up with Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network to create a much-needed new health and educational resource in Kwazulu-Natal.

Charlize says, "To see kids be able to talk that way with each other, with an adult, with a counsellor, that never happened when I grew up in this country.
"It's hard because part of me feels incredibly blessed in my life and then you come here and you see people struggling, and then you see this beautiful thing which is the spirit of these people and how resilient they are and that's the miracle".
Theron also offered the high school students advice about condom use and told them about how she learned to become a better person by her own late father's mistakes
And Theron was holding back tears again when one young South African girl told her she'd "awakened" her dreams of becoming a businesswoman.
She told Winfrey the whole trip made he feel so lucky: "Those kids have a 50% chance of contracting Hiv and Aids and dying from it, and that could have been my life".

Winehouse shocked onlookers when she nasally inhaled the potent spirit through a straw while partying with friends including Kelly Osbourne, Mark Ronson and Kimberly Stewart at London's Bungalow 8 club on Wednesday.
A source said: "Somebody had brought over 20 shots to Amy's table and she decided to show off her new party trick.
"She necked the top of the shot and lit the rest with a lighter. Then she grabbed a straw and sucked what was left up her nose.
"Amy threw back her head and reeled in shock and everyone around her looked stunned."
Doctors have warned Amy's party trick, known as a Gas Chamber, could be potentially lethal as alcohol is absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old Rehab star flew into a rage Thursday when she spotted an unauthorised biography about her on sale at her local London garage.

The former 'Dawson's Creek' actress - who married Tom in Italy in November 2006 - finds the actor's ability to fly a jumbo jet a real turn-on.
She said: "I don't give it a thought when Tom pilots a plane. He knows what he's doing. When he decides to do something he does it. It's great - it's hot!"
Although she is blissfully in love with Tom, Katie still makes time to see her girlfriends as much as she can.
The 'Batman Begins' star - who has a daughter, Suri, with Tom -
thinks it is incredibly important to have strong female friendships.
She added: "I'm very aware of the pressures, especially on young women. It's so cool when you see women working together and being friends. I like having girlfriends. I went to an all-girls academy for high school and I still have friends from back then.
"There wasn't any backstabbing. The myth of mean girls is overblown. You find out your girlfriend is getting married or having a baby and you are there for her. That's powerful - that's what we as women do for the world."
In a newly published interview, Michelle Williams admits that she suffers from a permanent sense of loss. This interview was given before the tragic death of her ex-partner, Heath Ledger.

"I have that feeling inside, like when something really tickles or delights me - it's not singular."

"Did I come into the world like that? Or was I kind of gifted that?"
Williams who broke up with Ledger last September says that this condition often leaves her feeling like a "walking open wound."

Demi Moore says the age gap between her and husband Ashton Kutcher never worried her.
The Hollywood star - who, at 45, is 15 years older than Ashton - can't understand why people were so shocked by their romance.
She said: "People made such a fuss about my relationship with Ashton. You would have thought they had never seen it before. Age wasn't what I was thinking about, but to the rest of the world it was a very big deal."
Ashton also revealed he makes sure he spends as much time as possible with Demi when he is not working.
He told America's Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I have a rule for myself when I am not on location shooting - that I am home for dinner for six o'clock every night. I think that's very important and I stick to it."

Actress Jennifer Aniston is not very comfortable when it comes to removing her clothes in front of movie cameras.
The former Friends star, who had to shed her clothes in the romantic comedy The Break-Up in 2006, ordered all the cast and crew members who were not involved in the scene to leave the set.
Aniston was a nervous wreck throughout the filming of the sexy scene and the fact that she was doing it with her then-lover Vince Vaughn, did not help matters much.
The 39-year-old was quick to point out that she had no problems with how her body looks, but she just does not like strangers staring at it.
“Although I’m happy in my own skin, I’m not comfortable doing nude scenes. On my The Break-Up movie we had a closed set, but it was still very hard,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
New-mommy Nicole Richie doesn't seem to like her curvy post-pregnancy body, as nursing has left her with bigger breasts that don't go with her fashion style.
The socialite and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden have recently become parents to baby daughter Harlow Kate Winter Madden. And even after getting back to her svelte shape in just weeks after the birth, Richie has been left with significantly bigger bust due to nursing.
And the 26-year-old is uncomfortable with this look as she cannot wear the kind of clothes she likes.
"I'm bustier now, and I really don't like it. It doesn't really fit with my wardrobe, it's not who I am. I am not someone who is used to wearing a bra or having to wear a bra I really don't like it," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
She added: "I like wearing vintage hippy see-through shirts that aren't slutty on me because there's nothing to look at. Now I have boobs so I can't really wear it because it sends out a different message."

The When a Man Loves a Woman singer is pictured wrapping his overcoat around Nicollette, concealing everything except her butt.
The campaign was shot by Davis Factor and appears in the April issue of several fashion magazines.
Hole in the Wall provides children with cancer and other serious illnesses a camping experience, and offers support to their families and healthcare providers.
It was recently reported Nicollette and Michael had married in secret.
The couple - who got engaged in March 2006 - were seen leaving a New York restaurant in December both wearing a band on their wedding fingers.

Michael and Nicollette originally dated in the 90s but split in 1993, before rekindling their romance in 2005.
The couple announced their engagement after Michael popped the question and presented Nicollette with a huge diamond ring.
Rihanna has helped save the life of a leukaemia patient.
The 'Umbrella' singer was so moved by mother-of-two Lisa Gershowitz Flynn's story she joined forces with DKMS, the world's leading bone marrow donor centre, to find her a match.
The 41-year-old New York lawyer was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukaemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow last November, and was given just four to six weeks to find a donor.
Following Rihanna's public plea for help, 5,000 potential donors contacted DKMS and a match has now been found.
Lisa broke the happy news to her supporters in an email, saying: "Today a 32-year-old guardian angel consented to be my donor, even though in all likelihood she has never met me and does not know who I am."
Lisa, who has a five-year-old son Michael and three-year-old daughter Alexandra, said no words could ever describe how thankful she was.
She added: "My life will be saved because of you, my family and friends. My children will have their mother, my husband will have his wife, and my parents will have their daughter.
"The English language does not have words that are adequate to thank someone for working to save your life. Please continue to spread the word about how important it is to fill the bone marrow registry with donors to save others."
Last month, Rihanna, 20, explained her decision to help Lisa, saying: "When I heard about Lisa's plight, my heart broke. I said, 'I need to get the word out about Lisa right away.' "

Naomi Watts lost her baby weight by breastfeeding.
The actress, who gave birth to her first son Alexander last July, quickly regained her pre-pregnancy figure by nursing her newborn son and getting a personal trainer.
Naomi said: "Three weeks before we started filming 'The International' I decided that I better get into changing my body back again. And they gave me a trainer and it was very effective and also breastfeeding. That's how you drop weight. Even though you're just eating all the time he is eating too."
The 39-year-old star, who is engaged to actor Liev Schreiber, also revealed becoming a mother was "harder" than she ever imagined.
Naomi added to US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "My son is a true joy, every day it is total euphoria. But motherhood is harder than I thought. The biggest surprise was the lack of sleep. Alexander is still struggling to sleep through the night."

Whitney Houston is set to earn $2.8 million to perform at a London charity event.
The troubled star has been lined up by billionaire philanthropist John Caudwell to give a rare one-hour performance at the Cauldwell Children Legends Ball at the Battersea Evolution arena on May 8.
A source said: "Mr. Caudwell thinks it is important to raise the profile of the Cauldwell Children charity and stars such as Whitney Houston are the sort of people he's hoping to attract."
Whitney - who has battled an addiction to drink and drugs - has made few public appearances in recent years and also has a reputation for failing to turn up for shows.
Her appearance at the Swarovski Fashion Rocks event at London's Royal Albert Hall last October was her first high-profile public outing since her stint in rehab in 2006. Last December, she performed at the Live and Loud music festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Whitney's problems with alcohol and drugs first surfaced in 2000 when she and then husband Bobby Brown were arrested for marijuana possession at a Hawaiian airport and later fined.
Later that year, she gave just 10 minutes notice before pulling out of her scheduled performance at record producer Clive Davis' induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, amid rumors she was behaving erratically due to drug use.
Whitney was dropped from performing at the 2000 Academy Awards by the show's musical director Burt Bacharach, after reportedly singing the wrong song at rehearsals.
Whitney divorced Bobby in 2007 following 15 years of marriage.

The actress/singer often has to leave American footballer beau Tony Romo slumbering in their shared bed, while she takes to the bedroom floor in a bid to get some rest.

Is producer-director Aditya Chopra tying the knot with Bollywood star Rani Mukerji? The grapevine is abuzz with rumours ever since the former has filed a petition seeking divorce from his first wife at the Bandra Family Court in northwest Mumbai.
Aditya's father, movie moghul Yash Chopra, is not too happy with this alliance and therefore Aditya has moved out his family home and is now staying in a five-star hotel in suburban Mumbai.
In fact, Aditya's parents have already made it known publicly that they are against their son divorcing his wife whom they adore. Which, indirectly, means that if Aditya's marries Rani, he will have to do so against his parents' wishes.
It is speculated that Aditya's shift from his father's home is a prelude to his impending marriage with Bollywood star Rani, with whom he has been having an affair for a long time, according to sources.
A rumour has been also doing the rounds since Sunday that Aditya had, in fact, given the actress an engagement ring a day earlier when both met secretly at the hotel where he has been staying.
Though none close to the Chopras would confirm the rumour, but the fact that Aditya's petition seeking divorce from his first wife, Payal, was granted after the mandatory grace period of six months last week, lent teeth to the speculation.
"I am afraid, I will not be able to comment on the private life of my client. Moreover, I have no inkling of the exchange of engagement rings between Aditya and Rani. My client does not keep me informed about his private affairs," Gopal Pandey, long-time publicist of Yash Raj Films, told.
As a matter of fact, in deference to the reputation of Yash Raj Films, especially the position filmmaker Yash Chopra holds in Bollywood, none came forward to comment one way or the other on the "impending" Aditya-Rani marriage, which, without confirmation, has remained a rumour.
Over the last few years, Rani has been seen in quite a few films made by Yash Raj Films, being handled by Aditya. She featured in "Hum Tum, "Veer-Zaara", "Ta Ra Rum Pum" and "Laaga Chunari Mein Daag".

Saucy pop star Rihanna says her butt is her best asset.

She said: "I absolutely love my bum, and I keep working at it because I want it to be perfect. It makes my clothes look good, and guys like it!"
Although she is proud of her rear, Rihanna hates her legs because she thinks they are too bulky.
She added: "I really don't like my legs, I'm very insecure about them.
Everyone wants to have slim, perfectly-toned legs and I'm no different. I do weights as part of my fitness regime but I don't want my legs to bulk up so I do a lot of cardio to balance everything out."
Rihanna, 20, has also confessed she hasn't ruled out having cosmetic surgery in the future if certain parts of her body start to "drop".
She said: "If my breasts started to drop, I might not like that. So I would consider every option. But for the next 20 to 25 years, I'm going to stay as natural as possible."
