Nicole's butterfly fear

JAN 18: Nicole Kidman is afraid of butterflies.

The actress developed the phobia when she was a child in Australia and despite endless attempts to shake off the problem, she still can't stand the insects.

She said: "Sometimes when I would come home from school the biggest butterfly or moth you'd ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence, crawl around to the side of the house - anything to avoid having to go through the front gate.

"I have tried to get over it. I walked into the big butterfly cage at the American Museum of Natural History and had the butterflies on me, but that didn't work. I jump out of planes, I could be covered in cockroaches, I do all sorts of things, but I just don't like the feel of butterflies' bodies."

Blair's 'jaw dropped' while watching steamy video

JAN 18: British Prime Minister Tony Blair while speaking on London's 'Capital Radio' for the national tsunami disaster fund revealed how his 'jaw dropped' when he first saw the steamy video 'Call On Me' at his gym.

Blair said that the film for Eric Prydz's hit, featuring pretty and scantily clad girls working out, nearly made him fall off his rowing machine.

According to The Sun, Blair also revealed that he quit smoking on his wedding day and was now a fitness fanatic. (ANI)

Supermodel got paid for tsunami pics?

JAN 18: Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova has denied reports that she was paid nearly 2 million dollars by an American magazine to pose for pictures while lying injured in a Thai hospital.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the catwalk queen suffered internal injuries in the tsunami that struck southeast Asia on December 26.

Nemcova, who was flown home last week to a hospital in Prague, was snapped by a US Weekly magazine while still in Thailand.

But, she insists she refused to be paid for the shots, instead asking the publication to donate all money raised from the photos to UNICEF, which is helping children affected by the deadly wave. (ANI)
