Jessica SimpsonSinger and actress Jessica Simpson has declared that filmmakers did not use a 'butt-double' on the sets of The Dukes Of Hazzard, and that the 'beautiful butt' shown in the movie is her own.

 

The stylish actress was expected to fit into Daisy Dukes' legendary, skintight denim hotpants in the remake of the classic 1970s television series, and she says she successfully managed it with a lot of hard work at the gym.

 

'I didn't have a butt double, I promise,' she told Hollywood Life magazine. 'That's my butt! I worked hard for it. I was sore for it every day,' she added. 

 

The Dukes Of Hazzard will release on August 26.

In the film, Cho Chang turns down Harry when he asks her to the Yule Ball, choosing to go with school heart-throb Cedric Diggory instead.

 

But, in real life, the two get on quite well.

 

'When we weren't filming, we usually had to study. But when we did have time, we definitely hung out together. We would try to hang out on weekends,' Katie told The Mirror.

 

'Daniel's so well-mannered, and he really cares about you. He's always asking,  'Are you all right? Can I get you some water?' ' she added.

 

Sir Paul McCartney's dyeing disaster

 

Sir Paul McCartneyBeatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has confessed he dyes his hair. The singer admitted he tries to maintain his youthful looks by colouring his locks -- but has had some dyeing disasters in the past.

 

The singer, who is married to model Heather Mills, revealed: '10 years before I met Heather, I was thinking about dyeing my hair. I tried it in Australia -- it looked cool, until I went on stage. Then this blue liquid poured down my forehead. Highly embarrassing.'

 

He added that he finds it difficult seeing himself as an older man.

 

The legend, who is about to release his latest record, Chaos And Creation In The Backyard, has also conceded some of his old songs were 'rubbish.'

 

Brando's obsession with Asian women

 

Marlon BrandoMarlon Brando's autobiographical novel about an overweight lothario obsessed with Asian women is to be published for the first time, a year after his death.

 

Fan-Tan is set in 1920s Hong Kong. Its hero, based on the actor himself, falls for a Chinese lady pirate.

 

The actor began Fan-Tan 30 years ago, in collaboration with the Scottish film director Donald Cammell.

 

In 1982, American publisher Sonny Mehta paid an advance of $100,000 for the book, but it was never completed and Brando returned the advance.

 

The manuscript emerged again after Brando's death last July, and the Brando and Cammell estates offered it to Mr Mehta once more, according to The Telegraph.

 

Like the novel's hero, Brando was grotesquely fat, weighing more than 20 stone when he died in Los Angeles, and was fascinated by Asian women and the East.
