For those spreading rumors about Kate Beckinsale demanding a body double, the studio has a request: Butt out.

Warner Bros. has lashed out at reports claiming the British beauty demanded producers hire a body double for a nude scene in her upcoming drama, Whiteout, after refusing to show her nekkid bum on camera.

They did, as it happens, hire one—but not, they want to make clear, as a result of any diva demands or actress insecurities.

That clears that up.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant's case, it's also worth about a hundred times that in cold hard cash.

The ex-couple, along with Hurley's current husband, Arun Nayar, have accepted nearly $113,000 in invasion-of-privacy damages from two European paparazzi agencies that snapped shots of the close-knit trio on vacation in the Maldives last year.

Particularly "reprehensible" to the threesome was that both the U.K.'s Big Pictures Ltd. and France's Eliot Press Sarl saw fit to take and sell photos of Hurley's Little Lord Fauntleroy-channeling son, Damian, naked on the beach.

Photos of the group were snapped up by News of the World and the Mail on Sunday and published last October under the cheeky headlines "Liz Does the Blokey-Cokey" and "Hugh's That Gooseberry?" and appeared both in the print and online editions.

In addition to the payout, which the trio plans on donating to a cancer charity, they also accepted public apologies from the paparazzi agencies for the unauthorized shots, which Laura Tyler, the attorney for the group, called "most upsetting," particularly as the friends had selected the private resort to avoid such illicit long-lensed snaps.

And bad tabloid puns.

English pop sensation (and occasional train wreck) Lily Allen was determined to get a nice, even tan while soaking up the rays at the famed Eden Roc in Cap d'Antibes, France, on Wednesday.

Of course, if Lily is hoping to kick-start some kind of nekkid celebrity trend, we promise to never complain about getting stars—albeit itty-bitty pink ones—in our eyes.

Since midnight, gamers have been snatching and powering up the year's latest—and possibly biggest—videogame blockbuster, Grand Theft Auto IV. Heck, one guy's even been stabbed.

If you haven't been paying attention, blasting aliens in Halo 3 is so last year. It's all about getting back to basics now, and stepping into a life of crime in pursuit of guns, gals and huge explosions. Per Variety, this newest GTA may bring in $400 million in its first week alone. (That's a record-smashing grenade toss away to the $404 million made by Jack Sparrow's last Pirate romp.)

But is it any good?

Another day, another candid-camera controversy for Miley Cyrus.

The Hannah Montana star has issued a statement about her provocative picture in the new Vanity Fair. Snapped by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, the 15-year-old Disney sensation appears to be topless, covered only in a blanket.

"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she says. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.'"

The Disney Channel is also standing up for its beloved starlet, telling E! News "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

In its own statement, Vanity Fair defends the shoot.

This is it. Last weekend before the summer movie season hits, so dig the vajayjay jokes, cannabis cracks and Shannon Elizabeth poker flicks movies while they last. Here's what's opening, and what we thought. Click for full reviews.

Baby Mama: Straight-shooter Tina Fey can't conceive, so she hires nasty slacker Amy Poehler to cook her fetus. And it works! Sharp satire, packed with girlcentric (for a change) gross-out gags. A-

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay: Half-baked (get it!) cult sequel, with a Neil Patrick Harris cameo, social commentary and a bag of Jamaican High Grade. Funnier the first time. C+

Deception: Basically Skinemax with high production values. And Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor. And a high-rollin' anonymous sex club, murder and twists you'll totally see coming. C

Deal: This was better when it was called The Color of Money, when it was about pool instead of poker, when it was directed by Martin Scorsese and, oh, when it didn't star Burt Reynolds and suck. D-
