Robert Pattinson says he is going to start hitting the gym because he is the only actor in Hollywood who does not have a six pack.

The 27-year-old British heartthrob thinks he is out of shape, and it is costing him movie roles, reported Showbiz Spy.

"I think I don't get some jobs because I don't go to the gym. I am literally the only actor in LA who doesn't have a six-pack. Although I am going to have to change that.

"In my next film I have like three intimate scenes so I am literally thinking of those to get in shape... I don't ever want anyone to see me doing exercise. Even though I am doing it, I still think it's so lame and embarrassing; I am doing it out of necessity, that's all," he said.

Pattinson said he is a private person in real life.

"I am very anti-paparazzi, but I guess you kind of get used to the thing. In fact I just started getting better at hiding. As soon as you figure out a way to live where people don't follow you around, stress levels go down."

Fashion week is horrible: Cara Delevingne

September 16, 2013 16:06 IST

Supermodel Cara Delevingne feels fashion week is horrible because she is constantly stressed out due to her large workload.

The 21-year-old model has been the toast of New York Fashion Week, which is currently underway in the Big Apple - but she said the stress of her hectic schedule makes the experience less than enjoyable, reported Digital Spy.

"Fashion week is horrible. I mean it isn't horrible, really... it's amazing, but having to work that much every day is.

"What I find hard is having to deal with all the people and all the crap. It is when the press and fans are following me most and it's when I work the hardest," Delevingne said.

The blonde beauty has taken the modelling world by storm, fronting campaigns for Burberry, Mulberry, Fendi and Saint Laurent in the last year alone, and her high profile has naturally made her a role model for young girls.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell thinks gay community has made fashion industry more vibrant.

The 43-year-old model feels that industry grew because of the contributions made by renewed gay designers like Gianni Versace and Alexander McQueen, reported Contactmusic.

"The gay community has made an incredibly profound impact on the fashion industry, and without key creative such as Marc Jacobs, Gianni Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, to name a few, the art form would not be so vibrant," Campbell said.

"Gay culture and fashion go hand-in-hand in that they flourish in the light of making bold and brave statements," she added.

Sexiest parts of body revealed

September 16, 2013 16:06 IST

A new study by neuroscientists has measured just how erotic our body bits are.

The research found that the feet were not considered sexually attractive by the 800 people, mostly from Britain and sub-Saharan Africa, surveyed.

75 percent people gave their feet the lowest, zero rating -- alongside knee caps, the Observer reported.

Professor Oliver Turnbull of Bangor University’s School of Psychology and the scientists from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg saw that there were 'remarkable levels of correlation' between the ratings for all the people who responded.

Men and women listed the 41 body parts they were asked to rate in remarkably similar order.

The obvious bits of genitalia were at the top of the rankings, as were lips, ears and inner thighs, followed closely by shoulder blades.

There were a few major differences between the sexes -- the back of the leg was barely acknowledged by women, for instance, while men rated it as important as their ears. Hands were also more erotic for men than for women, researchers found.
