You recently told an interviewer that you’d rather eat a vagina than sushi. When stuff that you say makes headlines, what’s your reaction or the reaction of your publicity team?
I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything. At least a vagina would be warm. [laughs] My publicist has literally turned a funny color and is going to go have a lie-down. He’s throwing up now, as well. I find a lot of things kind of funny and I often say what’s on my mind, and then get nine texts from all my friends going, “What’s the matter with you?” But I haven’t ever made a big attempt to have any particular image. And I don’t really worry about it. If it’s funny, I don’t care.
How do you feel about nude scenes?
My mom [Judy Loe] was an actress, and she did a nude scene on television when I was about 9 or 10, and the crisis I had when everyone came to school the next day and told me they’d seen my mother naked just makes me kind of, you know … I’m not in a big rush to do that to my child. She’s embarrassed enough that I’m an actress at all, without me being naked as well.
What is the strangest thing you’ve read about yourself in the tabloids that wasn’t true?
Most things aren’t, actually. Most of the really interesting things aren’t true. I was just recently asked about the fact that I’m on this bead diet, which I thought meant eating beads, but it doesn’t. It’s to do with wearing beads, or something. I don’t even know what it is.

Kate Beckinsale Goes Panty-Free On Late Show
Kate Beckinsale, who has openly admitted to suffering from anorexia in her teen years, said that the pressure to be “perfect” and “thin” isn’t something she is concerned about — just as long as nobody puts the harsh word on her to lose any (non-existent) lard.
“As long as they don’t force all those demands on me, I try not to pay attention to all of that — the most important thing for me and in raising a daughter is that I teach her to be happy and healthy,” Beckinsale said. “I dress up as an attractive movie star occasionally, but not often.”
And Beckinsale is somewhat of a late-comer to the panty-free trend … the actress caused a stir recently when she appeared on “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” donning tight black pants and a gray top. When she walked on and her microphone pack slipped, there was a little bit of a problem.
“They wanted to hook it onto the back of my knickers, but I am going commando, so they couldn’t do it,” she admitted. “So there was nothing to hook them on, so it fell out.”
