Natalie Portman always thinks twice before agreeing to strip off on film – because she fears her naked image will end up on pornography websites.

The actress admits she struggled with the decision to appear nude at the start of her career, and even asked filmmakers to rewrite a scene in her 1999 movie Anywhere But Here because she felt uneasy about baring all.

She tells V magazine, “I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it’s weird to be doing stuff on film as you’re figuring it out. Also being a sexual object when you’re a kid is really uncomfortable. After The Professional, I was already getting creepy letters.”

Portman insists she would sign up for more film roles that require her to shed her clothes – but she worries the footage will eventually hit the web.

She adds, “It’s annoying because online bulls**t interferes with what I want to do artistically. I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that. It’s always a big dilemma for me.”

Kate Hudson helped her baseball star beau Alex Rodriguez celebrate the New York Yankees’ championship win on Wednesday night by partying with his family.

The actress joined celebrities including her mother Goldie Hawn’s longtime partner Kurt Russell, director Spike Lee, real estate mogul Donald Trump and R&B superstar Mary J. Blige, who sang the National Anthem before the game, at Yankees Stadium to cheer the team to victory.

Hudson proved to be Rodriguez’s lucky charm as the all-star team cruised to a 7-3 win against the Philadelphia Phillies, landing them their 27th World Series.

The Almost Famous star joined the victory party at Manhattan hotspot 1Oak, where she danced the night away with the Yankees, as well as Rodriguez’s mum, Lourdes, and his sister, Suzy.

Nicole Kidman is taking the stage in Kenya in a bid to raise awareness of women affected by domestic violence.

Just last month, the star testified before lawmakers in Congress to talk about violence against woman across the world, admitting that Hollywood “probably” played a role in contributing to acts of aggression.

And now the Moulin Rouge! actress is raising the issue on a tour of the African country, as part of an initiative launched by the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM).

Kidman will visit the Kenyatta Hospital and a school on Friday as part of her role as a goodwill ambassador for the organization.

Encouraging the support of women in Africa, she says, “These champions need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band-aids, but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women’s rights are human rights. It is time for policies that intentionally involve society’s key communities – from health and education departments to the police and judiciary – to deliver on that commitment. To succeed, it requires political will at the highest levels.”

Kim Kardashian is nursing a black eye after a charity boxing match got out of hand.

The reality TV star was punched in the face during the bout – one of several scheduled between members of the public and the socialite’s family – on Tuesday while a match involving her brother Rob Kardashian saw him hospitalized with a concussion.

Kim said: “My girl was a good sport, but she was tough! I knew I had to do it for charity, since that’s what it was all about, but man, my girl could throw a punch!”

While the ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ star was satisfied with her opponent, something went wrong when someone who appeared to be “a trained fighter” got into the ring with her brother.

Kim said: “At one point Rob’s mask fell off and when he put his hands down he got hit in the face and ended up in hospital with a concussion. Rob’s a strong guy and can definitely hold his own, but he wasn’t expecting to get hit after his mask had fallen off! This guy just got really down and dirty!”

Members of the public who’d bid to fight the family were supposed to be screened to be similar weights to their opponents.

Khloe Kardashian and her sister Kourtney’s boyfriend, Scott Disick, then backed out of their fights.

Us Weekly’s newest issue reports that ever since reports surfaced that Josh Duhamel allegedly one-night stand with a stripper, Fergie has been uncharacteristically quiet.

But the pop star, 34, was more ebullient in an interview with Cosmopolitan conducted before the scandal broke.

Fergie even told the women’s magazine (in its December issue) what turns Duhamel on: body fat! After she gained weight for her role in the film Nine, the singer says Duhamel “was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it’s there and the tight stomatch when that’s there.” The actor now accused of cheating on her with an exotic dancer, she adds, has “never been critical.”

The singer-cum-actress also suggests how she sees herself and her persona as a performer. “You know, in Italy” (where Nine takes place), “Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore. And me? I’m both.”

The couple was married in a traditional Catholic ceremony on January 10, 2009.

Based on the classic Italian film 9 1/2, Nine is about the mid-life crisis of a renowned director (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) and the many women in his life. Fergie (using her real name, Stacy Ferguson, in the credits) portrays Saraghina — a prostitute from the director’s adolescence.

Another audio recording has been released by Michael Lohan to Radar Online, but this time Dina Lohan is the main attraction, saying Lindsay “punched her in the face” when she tried to take her to rehab last year.

“You don’t even know what I’d go through trying to get her into, like, rehab and stuff,” Dina told Michael over the phone. “She’d like, punch me in the face, kick me out of the car… like you don’t know the (expletive) I went through trying to get her an intervention by myself. It was very difficult.”

The first tape released this week was of Lindsay sobbing over the phone to her dad. The release of the tape led to Lindsay Tweeting to call her father a “loser.”

This release of Dina’s led to a more tame Tweet from Linds: “Good news is, I haven’t called him many times @ all-so, it will end sooner than later!!! Lol.”

Hopefully she’s right!

Heidi Klum is heading back to the runway, but she won’t be walking it.

The supermodel — who gave birth to her fourth child, daughter Lou, last month — will be hosting the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November.

Although Klum, 36, famously sported a bikini at the 2005 Victoria’s Secret event just two months after giving birth to son Henry, she doesn’t plan to wear any barely-there lingerie this year.

“The last time [I gave birth], I had two months, and I don’t know if I have that much time this time,” she told E! in August. “It was pushing it the last time. But if I don’t make it, I’m sure I’ll be very sad.”

The fashion show will take place in New York City — the first time since 2005 — on Nov. 19, and it will air Dec. 1 on CBS. The Black-Eyed Peas will perform.

The Project Runway host and her musician husband, Seal, 46, welcomed Lou Sulola Samuel on Oct. 9. The two are also parents to sons Henry, 4, and Johan, 2. Klum has a daughter, Leni, 5, from a previous relationship.
