Any normal person would say, no, her butt doesn’t look big in this picture.

Kate Beckinsale disagrees.

Producers on her new film Whiteout have been forced to hire a “£1,000-a-day” body double, because Beckinsale “loathes” her behind so much that she’s refused to show it on camera!

A source on set explained: “Kate has a terrible self-image. She thinks she is fat and she is always complaining how certain outfits make her bottom look big. Of course, the reality is that she has the most amazing body.

“The script called for her character to be filmed nude in a shower, focusing in on her bottom and thighs. Kate insisted on a double being hired. She was quite open on the set about not liking her body and said she particularly loathed her bottom and was not comfortable baring it.”

Last week, a casting call went out on a Hollywood casting site, searching for a nude double who is “5ft 8in, brunette, and weighing just under 9st.” The request added: “It’s a shower scene so there is no intimacy.”

The nude scenes are supposed to begin shooting tomorrow.

While the producers were the ones to put out the call, the source revealed that Kate will have the final say on who will play her ass in the film.

“Kate just didn’t want to show her bottom, even though everyone on the set was saying how good it looks in jeans,” the source added. “She said she couldn’t face the thought of seeing her butt up on a big screen. She will have the final veto over who stands in for her.”

In the film, which is set for release later this year, Kate plays a U.S. marshal tracking a serial killer in Antarctica.

Paris Hilton may not have a child yet with her Good Charlotte rocker beau, Benji Madden, but that doesn’t mean she wants to miss out on a wedding when good pal Nicole Richie and Joel Madden walk down the isle.

According to a source, the Hiltonite is desperate to have a lavish double wedding with the Madden brothers and Richie, but not because it would be super duper cute and cheesy, or because she loves the trio so much. No, Paris has a different reason for suggesting the double extravaganza… and it involves money… lots and lots of money!

Ms. Hilton’s only interested in marrying her rock n’ roll partner (who she’s not even engaged to yet), as she thinks she’ll be able to make a few bucks out of the ceremony. The source revealed that Paris is hoping to sell her wedding album to the highest bidder, thus adding to her multi-million dollar bank account.

“Hilton said she wants to [marry Benji] in order to sell the pictures from the wedding and thinks she could rake in millions,” the source said.

“She’s doing it all for attention, as usual. It’s a publicity stunt, just like everything else.”

Another publicity stunt for the Parisite? Geeze, who woulda thunk it??
