She told the New York Post newspaper: "This poet had polio at age six. At 37, he's told he won't live much longer. With an iron lung, can only turn his head at a 90-degree angle, he wants to experience sexual life for the first time. That's when a professional sex surrogate is called in.

"I play the sex surrogate. The material created a vulnerability. I personally felt extremely vulnerable.

"No body make-up, because that gets sticky and creepy. So I did it naked. All naked. Butt naked. Totally completely naked. Naked beyond just naked.

"My jaw dropped at the prospect. When I was about to take my clothes off, my palms started to sweat."

Helen met with the woman she plays in the film and says the struck up an instant connection and she is thrilled the sex surrogate loved the finished movie.

She added: "It's rare to read such a beautiful story. True story. This real life therapist, living in California, is Cheryl Cohen Greene. Typical soccer mom with a house, mortgage, husband. We met. I stole her spirit. Her accent. She's not shy or filled with shame. She's instantly open. A real deal. I could ask or tell her anything.

"The day we met she quickly jumped into the shower because she had a therapy session due with a 70-year-old man.

"She loved the finished film because she got her message through and said the things she wanted to say."

Lindsay Lohan Relates To ET


Lindsay Lohan relates to Elizabeth Taylor.

The 26-year-old actress plays the late screen icon in upcoming TV movie 'Liz & Dick' and she claims she found it easy to play the character because she can identify with the high-profile lifestyle Elizabeth led because she is used to dealing with the "stress" of being constantly scrutinized.

Speaking in an interview with Lifetime - who will air the movie - Lindsay said: "I'm a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan, and I relate to her on a lot of levels - living in the public eye, dealing with the stress of what other people say, whether it's true or not."

The flame-haired star is infamous for her wild antics, drug and alcohol use and jail stints, while 'Cleopatra' star Elizabeth is remembered for her tumultuous love life and eight marriages.

Lindsay feels the two are kindred spirits because of their tumultuous lives.

The star mused: "I personally understand Liz, because you're living your life for everyone to see, and people are growing with you.

"You get to a point where you become numb to it, and you just live your life the way you feel you need to live it."

Grant Bowler - who plays Richard Burton, who was married to Elizabeth twice, in the film - can also see the similarities between his co-star and the late Hollywood legend, who died in March 2011.

He quipped: "She's pretty much Elizabeth Taylor reincarnated."

Meanwhile, the beautiful Olivia Wilde turned up for the fragrance launch for Encounter Calvin Klein in New York City on September 27, 2012.

Winona Ryder IS OWNED by Tim Burton


Winona Ryder credits Tim Burton for her movie career.

The 40-year-old actress shot to fame after appearing in the director's movie 'Beetlejuice' in 1988 and she thinks that was what set her on the way to "accidental" success.

She said: "I've known Tim Burton for 25 years, and I credit him with my career - I really mean that. I don't know if ... acting was sort of an accident for me, I wasn't going on auditions and trying to be an actor.

"I was actually sort of discovered in San Francisco and I'd done only two movies, small parts, and I remember my parents were very picky - because we had to drive from Northern California for 'Beetlejuice,' it was like nine hours to get there, and I remember very well when I first met Tim.

"I was sitting, waiting to meet him and this guy came in and started talking, talking about movies and music and 25 minutes later I was like, 'When is this Tim Burton guy coming?' And he was like, 'That's me'.

"I had no idea that a director could actually be so cool and I could easily hang out with them, you know?"

Winona - who also worked with Tim on 'Edward Scissorhands' and forthcoming animated adventure 'Frankenweenie' - says she would do "anything" for the director.

She added to FlicksandBits.com: "Tim has always been a very special person to me, I love being around him, it never feels like work - I know it's work for a lot of people, and growing up in the movies, you realise how much work it is.

"There's movies that you do and you talk about them, but then there's the ones that you really love. And all of the three films I've made with Tim Burton, I really love ...

"I would do anything for Tim, I would read the phonebook and I'm sure he would make it into a brilliant piece of art."

Meanwhile, here's the one and only Monica Bellucci at the Fasle Kargadan premiere on September 26, 2012.

Dumb and Dumber To


The name of the 'Dumb and Dumber' sequel has been confirmed as 'Dumb and Dumber To'.

The Farrelly Brothers - who are directing the movie - revealed the film's name on their twitter page, following months of rumors.

They wrote: "You also might be interested to know that we are almost done with the Dumb and Dumber To (sic) script. I think you're going to like it. (sic)"

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are both reported to be on board to reprise their roles as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne respectively in the follow-up to the 1994 comedy, and filming is scheduled to begin shooting next year, working around Jeff's commitment to TV drama 'The Newsroom'.

The sequel centers around one of the duo seeking out their long-lost child for a kidney transplant.

While 'Dumb and Dumber' was a huge hit, the 2003 prequel 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd' wasn't a great success and critics believe it was because it was made without the involvement of the Farrellys or Jim and Jeff.
