“Sometimes I’m sexy, and sometimes I’m not,” says Hollywood actress Elizabeth Banks tells Women’s Health in its October issue, which incidentally has a celebrity on its cover for the first time.
“Sex is always funny. I don’t find it sexy–I find it really horrifying. But it’s an act that we need. And that need, that desire, is what makes it really funny,” says the 34-year-old cutie. “Every dude is trying to get laid, 24/7, from the time they’re 11 or 12. Everything they do is about trying to get laid, yet they’re maybe way too hairy, they fart, they have tempers. They don’t know what the real situation is, and it’s that struggle that I find really funny. Every man wins the lottery when he gets a woman to love him.”
Banks is starring with Seth Rogen in the Kevin Smith comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, a “romantic comedy” (according to Banks) about two platonic friends who decide to make a quick buck by producing a porn flick. And that’s cool with her husband Max Handelman, to whom she’s married since 2003.
“I don’t think I’m that special, and he definitely doesn’t think I am,” said Banks. “Because no one is that special. I’m not curing cancer; I’m not saving lives. I play make-believe for a living, so let’s not take it too seriously.”
Does she work on her sex appeal? Guess not: “I’m not a fan of plastic surgery,” she says. “Oh, and I’ve never had a wax in my life. Waxing makes no sense to me.”
Rather ironically, Banks is also starring as U.S. First Lady Laura Bush in Oliver Stone’s film on the life of President George W. Bush, W, slated for release next month.
Well, so is Banks sexy or funny? Or both? I have formed my opinion judging from the pictures below. What’s yours? Would you rather be seen with her in Disneyland — or Four Seasons?

Well we all knew it was bound to happen–sooner rather than later. Why not sooner? We all kept our fingers and frozen toes crossed — we all wanted to see Megan Fox topless, to begin with, at the least. (If you’ve seen her walking in “The Transformers”, you’ll know what I’m talking about.)
Kinda surprised she’s an FHM brand girl now. Megan’s now featured in the comedy/horror “Jennifer’s Body”, where she plays a cheerleader who’s merely possessed by a demon (no, no, not Leonardo di Caprio) who just feels like feeding off her boyfriends or something.
Oh well. I just think Megan has done a big favor to the celebrity branding world. Thanks Megan!

Scarlett Johansson is auctioning a date with herself in an effort to raise funds for Oxfam America, an international development and emergency relief agency.
The winner will be chaffeured to the world premiere of the film “He’s Just Not Into You” in either New York or Los Angeles, starring Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck. The prize also throws in a hair and makeup preparation for the event.
Needless to say, the winner will get to meet Scarlett, and will go home with a ‘hand-written note.’
“The winner of the charity auction will not only get to attend the premiere, but 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to supporting Oxfam and its work, so please bid high!” Scarlett says in a video on the auction site.
At the time of writing, I hear there have been a total of eight bids with the highest bid being $300, with the starting bid at 99 cents. The auction will run up to March 12th on eBay, so I’m thinking of putting off that new dishwasher purchase until then…. you never know.
The 23-year-old actress has been involved with Oxfam since 2005, and last year met tsunami-hit families in Sri Lanka and India.

The latest installment of the James Bond franchise now filming in London will see Olga Kurylenko cast as the ‘Bond girl.’
The producers of the 22nd Bond film, which has a working title of “Bond 22″, Columbia Pictures and MGM, said that British newcomer Gemma Arterton, 21, and Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko, 28, have been cast as the two female leads. Arterton will play Agent Fields in the Marc Forster-directed movie, while Kurylenko is cast as Bond’s love interest.
“Bond 22″, which will take up where “Casino Royale” left off, is scheduled for a November release and Kurylenko will be playing the “the dangerously alluring Camille, who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper’s betrayal.”
The Ukrainian bombshell joins a long list of leading ladies to be cast alongside the super spy including Ursula Andress in “Dr No,” Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and most recently Eva Green in “Casino Royale,” which grossed $600 million in the box office.
Details of Arterton’s character are not immediately available, but a source said “it’s a nice-sized role.”
The latest movie in a series that dates back to 1962’s “Dr. No” will of course star Daniel Craig as the man with the “license to kill.”
