Actress Salma Hayek [Images] has revealed that her Ask The Dust co-star Colin Farrell [Images] did a naked ballet dance, before the duo shot a sex scene, to help calm her nerves.
The sexy Desperado star said she had been nervous about shooting the scene with Colin because she had heard about his reputation as a ladies' man. She said Farrell's nude ballet only helped her to relax. "I finally came out of the dressing room, all covered up and Colin's completely naked, jumping around in the sand doing ballet dances. I started laughing and it relaxed me," The Mirror quoted her as saying.
"I expected him to be a bit nuts. But when we were naked, he never looked down one time at my naked body -- he looked me in my eyes," she added.

Megan Tingley, editor-in-chief, Little Brown Books for Young Readers, praised the Signs director and said they were delighted to publish the book.

Jennifer Aniston [Images] gets rid of Brad Pitt's [Images] old clothes!
It seems that Friends star Jennifer Aniston got rid of the last remnants of her marriage to Brad Pitt, by giving away his old clothes to charity. She was spotted dumping bags of Brad's rags at a second-hand store in Burbank, California.
'When a woman in the shop realised it was Jennifer Aniston, she went over to see what she'd left," a source was quoted by The Sun, as saying.
'But it was too late because a worker who didn't recognise Jen had already dumped the clothes in a bin mixed with lots of others,' he added.
Last year, Jen held a ceremony on the beach by her Malibu home where she set fire to her wedding dress, officially marking the end of her marriage.
