Not only was I comfortable, but I could look at anybody's face and see they were comfortable."It was really necessary for the crew to be used to me undressed because I was playing someone who places no value on her body. She has no regard for herself so she wouldn't care if she were clothed or not."The 27-year-old became so used to being naked she was still walking around undressed after filming finished. She said: "It was kind of funny because, you know, I'm a prude and I do not like walking around naked."I was in my bathroom about two months after the movie finished and I was brushing my teeth and I was in my underwear.

PARIS HILTON HAS NAKED AUTOPSY ART

2007-04-30T13:59:00.000-04:00

Paris Hilton dead and naked !

Paris Hilton has been sculpted as a naked corpse in a bizarre art campaign to warn against the dangers of drink driving.The hotel heiress - who was arrested for Driving Under the Influence last September - is the subject of a sculpture by New York artist Daniel Edwards - famous for his piece depicting Britney Spears giving birth on all fours.The statue, entitled 'Paris Hilton Autopsy', shows the 26-year-old socialite lying naked with her legs splayed wearing a tiara and clutching a mobile phone. Her pet Chihuahua Tinkerbell is resting its front paws on Paris' breasts.The sculpture has an open abdominal cavity with removable life-size internal organs, which visitors to the exhibition can remove.The artwork will be unveiled on May 11 at New York's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery as the centre piece for a public service announcement warning against drink driving, called 'Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth'. Gallery director David Kesting said: "It is designed to counter the disturbingly glamorised trend of Hollywood's girls gone wild."I think Daniel is really trying to embrace Paris' stance against youth drunk driving and the dangers that alcohol presents to young women in our society."Paris was arrested after midnight last September 7 for driving erratically in her silver Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in Hollywood. She scored a .08 on a Breathalyzer test, the minimum blood-alcohol level to qualify as a DUI. She claimed she hadn't eaten all day and had only drunk one margarita cocktail at a party, before leaving to get a burger. She said she was driving erratically because she was so hungry.'The Simple Life' star pleaded not guilty to two misdemeanour counts of DUI and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher. She then pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving and was placed on probation for 36 months. She must also pay a $390 fine and attend an alcohol education program. As well as his sculpture 'Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston', featuring Spears giving birth to her first born on a bear skin rug, Daniel also created 'Suri's Bronzed Baby Poop', in honor of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter.

Prince Harry going to Iraq ?

Prince Harry, who is due to leave for Iraq, said he is willing to risk his life to serve his country. Harry, who delivered the speech to close friends at London’s Mahiki club on Friday, said: ‘I’m s**ting myself. I’m prepared to do anything they throw at me. I’m going to miss my family. But I am proud to serve my country, which is a great honor.’ Harry arrived at the exclusive club with girlfriend Chelsy Davy, who was wearing a short red dress. Harry’s friend Guy Pelly - Mahiki’s general manager - greeted the couple and showed them around the privately booked venue. Prince William was also present, but arrived after his brother’s emotional goodbye speech. In a clear reference to the debate surrounding whether Harry should be allowed to fight on the front line, the prince insisted he would be happy to do whatever is asked of him during his six-month deployment. He is quoted in Britain’s News of the World newspaper as saying: ‘Whether I serve on the front line or carry out a desk job in Basra I just want to get out to Iraq and serve my country. I’m proud of the men I’ve trained with but I have to respect they need to be safe. They haven’t decided what exactly I’m going to do out there yet.’ Head of the British Army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, will make a decision on Harry’s exact role in the next couple of days. Harry and Chelsy spent most of the night dancing, before leaving at 12.50am, while William, 24, continued partying until 3.35am. Harry has reportedly prepared for the worst by writing a will for his $26 million fortune.
