Much to the relief of her daughter Lily, Kate Beckinsale is going on the record to say that she will not bare all in front of the cameras. You see, the sexy star suffered a traumatizing experience at the age of 10 when her mother, English actress Judy Loe bared all for British television.
Beckinsale recalls, “The mortification of going to school! People said, ‘I’ve seen your mother naked. I literally had to beat up nine of them.”
Kate Beckinsale is flawless although she doesn’t seem to see that in herself. In the latest issue of California Style she reveals she was frightened to move to America.
She said, “I was very frightened of L.A. at first. I thought the first thing that would happen is they are going to file my teeth down, inflate my bosom and just be mean to me – and that’s sort of what has happened.”
Last night some of the biggest names came out for The Raisa Gorbachev Foundation’s fundraiser dinner to fight Cancer. This foundation was started by ex Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the name of the late Soviet first lady who succumbed to Leukemia in 1999.
The man behind the foundation, Mikhail Gorbachev was in attendance with his only child Irina and her daughter Anastasia.
Also in attendance was Hugh Grant who has an active role in this charity gave a heartfelt speech about his mother Finvola who also fell victim to this disease in 2001. A performance by U2 frontman Bono was given to a star studded audience that included Orlando Bloom, Kevin Spacey, Petra Nemcova, Benicio Del Toro, Kate Beckinsale, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Blunt, Mary J. Blige, Joan Collins, and Joely Richardson.
