In the interview inside, Spears also talks about her love-hate relationship with her famous bum. "I like it, then again, I hate it. I'm in my 30s now, so I have to work harder to keep it 'up'," she said.

Selita Ebanks has revealed that her mother relied on food stamps and The Food Pantry so that her kids never went hungry.

The 30-year-old told the New York Post at Food Bank's Can Do Awards this week that she thinks that there is no shame when you have children and you want to provide for them.

"It says something about a woman that has no ego when it comes to her children. She did anything possible," Ebanks said.

The former Victoria's Secret model, who grew up on Staten Island and the Cayman Islands and has seven brothers, said that her mother would extend the charity to others.

She asserted that her mum was working the system to make sure they had everything.

She said that sometimes they had two or three turkeys at Thanksgiving, and her mum would give them to their neighbours who weren't qualified for the programme.

Ebanks added that her mom, who now lives in Georgia and is retired, is living with her feet up on the couch, living every day.

Gemma Arterton has slammed the relentless pressure being put on young actresses to lose weight.

The British star asserted that her fellow female stars should not succumb to the physical demands expected of them by sections of the industry.

"Why does that go hand in hand with the acting profession?" she adds. "It shouldn't. It lets the side down. It lets down team woman."

Paltrow also revealed that she complimented the former Victoria's Secret Angel during the annual event.

Winona Ryder has revealed that she was once told to give up on acting because she wasn't attractive enough.

The 41-year-old told Interview Magazine that in the middle of auditioning and mid-sentence, the casting director said, "Listen kid, you shouldn't be an actress," the Daily Express reported.

"I honestly think she thought she was doing me a favour," Ryder insisted.

The actress admitted that if it were not for landing roles in 1988 films Beetlejuice and Heathers, she would have given it up.

She added that she had an unusual look and wasn't really considered a beauty.
