Hollywood is not known for liking old women. You know, women over 25. That's when you get all wrinkly and hideous, and your useful life is basically over.

But in a showbiz world filled with Miley Cyruses and Olsen twins, Megan Mullally is kind of bucking the trend. Truth is, the former 'Will and Grace' star says she's getting more offers for nude roles than she can handle. Roll on 50!

It started with her guest turn on 'Boston Legal'… "I'm not a naked person. I had to be naked in that show," Mullally says. "I had to take off all my clothes in front of [her co-star] James Spader. They were like: 'We're going to close the set.' Cut to — there were like 25 guys." Ah, but Megan, no-one said acting would be easy.

The thing she doesn't get, though, is: "Why naked? Why now?" As she points out: "I'm going to be 50 in November and I just did a television pilot for a show for another network and I have to be naked in that."

"Why not when I was 26 and I was really cute? Why is there such demand for me to take all of my clothes off?"

The gorgeous Nicole Kidman had to keep her clothes very much on for her recent trip out into the Australian desert. Well, they weren't actually her clothes — they were a bunch of outfits on the cutting edge of fashion, picked out by US Vogue.

The shoot in the July edition of the magazine socialites live and die by, conveniently ties in with her upcoming starring role alongside fellow Aussie Hugh Jackman, in the movie, uh, 'Australia'.

Says Kidman of her time modelling for the fashion bible in the Outback: "It's the roughest thing I ever had to go through. We got caught in a dust storm so bad we couldn't even see. Everybody lived out there for five days in these little silver tents. It was great."

Sure, it was a fashion photo-shoot and not an out-of-shuttle space walk, but just how many beautiful, super-famous stars would embrace a dust-storm experience, rather than calling up their lawyers to find out how much they could sue for?

What's more, easy-going Kidman's also found a non-punching/non-grabbing-and-hurling-their cameras-back-at-them way of keeping the paparazzi at bay. Or, rather, she's hired a very smart bodyguard — who came up with a novel and effective way of keeping the snappers away from Nicole and her husband Keith Urban.

His nifty trick? He lay down in the road in front of the paps' vehicles!

Kidman and Urban were in New York, taking some time out to go to the theatre, and got mobbed as they tried to leave. They managed to get through the snappers and into their waiting car, but the paps kept up a close pursuit.

So, Kidman and Urban's SUV stopped — no doubt making the chasing photographers think they were about to get some great shots. Instead, Kidman's bodyguard got out and lay down on the street, between her car and the paparazzi's vehicles.

"It was unbelievable," says one of the snappers who was there. "We couldn't move. I've never seen anything like this."

"After about five minutes, this guy just got up, wished us all a nice evening and strolled off. You can only hope that Nicole pays this guy a fortune." Nice one.

Even nicer — California's supreme court recently overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage, and it's not just mere mortals who're making use of the ruling to get hitched. 'Star Trek' star George Takei picked up a marriage license shortly after the ruling came into effect.

Takei's set to marry long-time partner Brad Altman in September. "We are first and foremost beyond delighted!" commented George to reporters.

And, who knows, one day coming out in Hollywood might not be okay just for comedic and sci-fi actors — one bright day a bonafide sex symbol may take the plunge!

Meanwhile, conservative groups wait with baited breath to see whether the Californian nuclear family will be destroyed by this change in the state's marriage laws. Because, as we all know, gay marriage is by far the most immoral thing going on in Tinseltown…

Not getting married, nor even confirming they're a couple yet — except, in Kate's case, by way of giggling coyly about it when asked — are Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson. Fresh from her second break-up from Owen Wilson, Hudson has reportedly found new love in the arms of cycling's golden boy.

The happy, but unconfirmed, duo apparently spent Father's Day together, along with their respective children.

There's no new love in Sharon Osbourne's life — her heart still belongs to Ozzy — but there certainly seems to be a touch of, um, hypocrisy.

The woman about whom you know anything at all solely because she appeared on MTV reality show 'The Osbournes', says of TV reality shows currently screening: "They are all train wrecks. All it is now is a lot of lower-rung celebrities that they're turned into bad actors. None of it is real."

Seriously, Sharon?

Methinks she needs to take a good long look in the mirror and have a bit of a think about how she ever got famous enough to be quoted saying such dumb stuff in the first place. But, to be completely fair, she could be thinking of 'The Hills'.

'The Hills' is… words fail me. But, if you were to insist that I find some words, I'd have to say that 'The Hills' is a supposed reality show — a look into the awful lives of people with more cash than human decency, parading around in a series the producers have attempted to jazz up in places with staged incidents and feuds, and mind-searingly bad scripting.

It is indeed a train wreck. No, scratch that. Train wrecks at least engender sympathy for those involved, who find themselves there through no fault of their own. The same cannot be said for the willing participants of 'The Hills' — amongst them this woman, who is in fact even less smart than she appears in this photo. Honestly.
