Britney Spears' Best Pre-'Glee' Comedy Moments

Before she hits up 'Glee,' relive her small-screen history.

Tuesday night's (September 28) "Glee" episode is all about Britney Spears. While fans and the show's stars are excited to see the singer light up the screen in the appropriately titled "Britney/Brittany" episode, it's hardly the first time Spears has performed for a laugh on the small screen (and we're not talking about her docu-series "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic").

Spears brought the funny in a show-opening appearance on the 2009 VMAs, her top 10 list on "Late Night With David Letterman" and on "Saturday Night Live," especially during her stints as the show's host in 2000 and 2002.

In 1999, Britney Spears stopped by "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" to teach Melissa Joan Hart a lesson or two about loneliness, fame and the proper way to do choreography. The duo also hooked up for Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy" video from the soundtrack for Hart's movie "Drive Me Crazy," which featured "Entourage" star Adrian Grenier.

Spears was one of the many pop stars to stop by "Will & Grace" when she made an appearance on the show in 2006. She showed off her Southern accent and comedic flair as closeted lesbian Amber Louise.

The singer proved she was funny once again when she appeared on "How I Met Your Mother" in 2008. Her People's Choice-nominated cameo (she was up for Favorite Scene-Stealing Guest Star) had fans rooting for her again after a difficult period in her personal life. She hit the small screen as Abby, a receptionist with a grudge against Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) after he forgot to call her after they, uh, went out.

What was your favorite small-screen moment for Britney Spears? Let us know in the comments!

US Open

I went to the US Open yesterday. It was quite an experience and something I'll never forget. It's like a bucket list thing, you know? And I got to watch both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer play, two of the best players ever.

I took tennis lessons as a kid and then again in college, but I'm not a player. But I knew enough to follow along and the matches were really great. Plus, my friend Lacy and I made the jumbotron! Woot woot!

IMG_1020

The US Open takes place in the Arthur Ashe Stadium at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which is a complex consisting of a bunch of smaller courts, two midsize ones, and one big one (which is the Arthur Ashe Stadium.) It looks like this:

So while the Men's Singles Semi-Finals were going on in the Arthur Ashe Stadium (which is what I got to see), junior matches were being played on some of the smaller courts.

Of the two matches I saw, Nadal won and Federer lost. I was a little bummed out by that because I like Federer, but the guy who beat him, Novak Djokovic from Serbia, was so excited and it's always nice to see an underdog win. Here he is right after he won yesterday:

And here's a photo of him hitting himself in the head yesterday after losing the third round.

Tennis can be pretty brutal. But anyway, it's really cool because the whole stadium gets really quiet when they play. You can hear their sneakers squeak on the court, you can hear the ball bouncing and hitting the racket, you can hear the players grunt... Our seats were pretty far up but we could still hear every single thing happening. But, man, was it a long day. We watched tennis for eight hours straight.

The final match is this afternoon but I haven's decided who I'm rooting for yet. I like Novak because, even though he's competed in the US Open before (he lost to Federer in 2007), he only has one Grand Slam title and he's clearly the underdog of the match. Plus, he's supposed to be really funny and I like a person with a sense of humor. But I also like Nadal because, even though he's currently ranked number one and holds eight Grand Slam titles, he's never competed in or won the US Open before. If he wins today, he will have a Career Grand Slam.

For those of you who don't know, there are four major "Grand Slam" tennis tournaments every year:

  • Australian Open - Played on concrete
  • French Open - Played on clay
  • Wimbledon - Played on grass
  • US Open - Played on concrete

Winning any one of these gives you a Grand Slam title. If you win all four at least once during your career, you have a "Career Grand Slam." Federer has won 16 titles and has a Career Grand Slam. Nadal has won eight titles, but never the US Open, so he doesn't have a Career Grand Slam. Novak has won one title.

(Btw, I never thought I'd be giving a sports lesson of any kind on this blog.)

Anywho, 2010 has been a great year for me. First my movie gets made, then I get to go to the US Open... The fact that I'm lucky is not lost on me. I'm so grateful for everything.

Did Jessica Simpson Diss Nick Lachey's Girlfriend?

Did Jessica Simpson Diss Nick Lachey's Girlfriend?

Meow! It sounds like Jessica Simpson may have been sharpening her claws just in time for her unplanned run-in with ex-husband Nick Lachey and his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo. After Simpson and Lachey both showed up at the same restaurant on Oct. 21, witnesses say that Simpson had some not-so-nice words about the new woman in her ex's life.

"'I hope Vanessa likes her clothes because I bought them for her, since Nick took all my money," Simpson reportedly told her server.

Though Simpson was dining with her beau of the moment, Eric Johnson, and a bunch of others, sources say The Price of Beauty star was extremely irked about the meeting. Another witness said she "got really loud and started drinking margaritas and doing shots of tequila" to deal with her former spouse's presence.

"It was very weird and awkward," the source said.

But of course, the claims are all hearsay, and Simpson herself brushed off the incident. "He was at the same restaurant," she told USA Today after the incident. "I didn't speak to him." 

Do you believe that Jessica Simpson acted that way? Chime in below!

'Paranormal Activity' Creator Lists His Sequel Requirements

'Found footage is a fairly important part of it,' Oren Peli tells MTV News of first two films.
By Eric Ditzian

After driving a movie that made more than $40 million its first weekend, the demon will rise again. Make no mistake about it: A sequel to "Paranormal Activity 2" will happen, and filmmakers already know where to take the story.

As director Tod Williams told us, he and the rest of the "PA" crew came up with a slew of ideas about the direction "PA 3" should take. But at this point, according to "PA" creator Oren Peli, no threequel discussions have taken place with Paramount.

"There haven't been any talks that I've been involved in," he told MTV News on Wednesday. "It's only been a couple of days since the weekend. I'm sure people are talking about it and thinking about it. There are probably going to be some discussions."

Peli said that, if "PA 3" is made, there's little chance he'll jump back into the director's chair. "For now I'm happy with my role as a producer," he said.

As a producer, though, he was intimately involved with the creation of "PA 2," and he told us that whatever happens in "PA 3," the movie needs to stay true to its roots of being found-footage-based and taking place in a regular family's house.

"I think found footage is a fairly important part of it in the way it presents the movie in very authentic footage, so it doesn't feel like a movie," he said. "And I think the other thing is what happens in your own home at night while you're asleep and you're vulnerable and there's an unseen force. You don't know what it is, you don't know how to protect yourself from it."

Check out everything we've got on "Paranormal Activity 2."

Beyonce Could Release New Single In Next Few Weeks

'Listening to New B record Dream wrote ... Y'all C in 3 weeks!' producer Los Da Mystro tweeted Wednesday.

Fans are slowly but surely getting more and more details about Beyoncé's next album. And the latest word is that the singer could release her first single from the album within the next three weeks. While the name of the song is still unknown, it appears that Lady B is well on her way to releasing new music off her follow-up disc to 2008's I Am ... Sasha Fierce.

"Listening to New B record Dream wrote ... F---INg INSANE! WOw!! She About to Kill the game again! Had to Listen again!! Y'all C in 3 weeks!" producer Los Da Mystro, a frequent collaborator of The-Dream, who worked with Tricky Stewart on Beyoncé's hit "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," tweeted. "Thats what they sayn now.. But it is the music Business. could b sooner r lata."

MTV News hadn't received comment by Beyoncé's label by press time.

However, the producers and songwriters she's been working with on the album have been dropping hints about what fans might expect on Beyoncé's fourth studio album. So far Ne-Yo, Jim Jonsin and Sean Garrett have all opened up about penning tracks for the album. And with the tweet from Los Da Mystro, it's evident that she's once again working with The-Dream and Stewart.

B's last album spawned the hits "Single Ladies," "If I Were a Boy," her Gaga-collabo "Video Phone" and "Halo." And while it is unknown what direction this next album will take, Ne-Yo has pointed out that Beyoncé has an "agenda" all her own.

"She's an artist that knows exactly what she wants to do," he told MTV News. "She's going to give you directions [like], 'Here's where I'm going, so here's where I need you to be.' And, you know, I'm a person that follows direction well. [And she'll be like], 'So this is the sound, this is the vibe; make it happen.' And I write and she likes it or she doesn't. And in this case she did, and there you have it."

Since she killed off her alter-ego Sasha Fierce for her next album, this record will be all Beyoncé. Producer Jim Jonsin recently noted that while he wants to go even more '80s than the pair did on "Sweet Dreams," he's also looking to try out some other genres with the singer. "Even some sexy mid-tempos, see if she likes that and I'll try that too," Jonsin said.

Whatever the album ends up sounding like, Garrett promised that it won't be a rehash of previous material. He explained, "We're working on some really incredible music. We're going to stretch a little bit — take it to a whole new level, if Beyoncé can go to a whole new level. ... It's going to be her biggest album ever. We're going to take it to a whole other level."

Howard K. Stern Found Guilty in Anna Nicole Smith Drug Conspiracy

Howard K. Stern Found Guilty in Anna Nicole Smith Drug Conspiracy

The verdict is in on the most recent legal battle surrounding the late Anna Nicole Smith. In August, three people close to Smith at the time of her death -- her doctor Sandeep Kapoor, psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, and lawyer/boyfriend Howard K. Stern -- went on trial for the crime of knowingly supplying drugs to an addict. In other words: Smith's doctors and boyfriend were accused of feeding the addiction that killed her in 2007. And only one of them was found innocent.

On Thursday, Howard K. Stern was found guilty of conspiring to get drugs for Smith by ordering prescriptions under his own name. Eroshevich, the psychiatrist, was found guilty of writing fraudulent prescriptions, as well as supplying addictive drugs to an addict. Both will face sentencing (a maximum of three years) in January. Kapoor, however, is free to go; he was acquitted of all charges.

So: does the "guilty" verdict answer any questions about Anna Nicole's death?

Not really. The official cause of death was accidental overdose, due to the combined effects of nine different prescription drugs. The reason Stern, Eroshevich and Kapoor were on trial is that all those drugs were prescribed by Eroshevich -- even though they should never have been prescribed simultaneously. And eight of them were prescribed in Stern's name. While they were convicted of supplying these drugs, Stern and Eroshevich were cleared on multiple other charges which would have put more responsibility for Smith's death (and up to six more years of jail) on their shoulders.

What happens to Stern and the doctors now is pretty inconsequential, as far as Anna's legacy is concerned. But the case does shed some light on how drug-addicted celebrities can manipulate the people around them to get prescriptions. From the evidence presented, it looks like Anna Nicole maintained a close, even borderline sexual, relationship with both of her doctors. An entry in Dr. Kapoor's private journal, read to the jury, contained this excerpt:

"I was making out with Anna, my patient, blurring the lines. I gave her methadone, Valium. Can she ruin me?"


The jury was also shown "a photo of Smith and Eroschevich naked and embracing in a bathtub." Although both Kapoor and Eroschevich swear that they were providing Smith with necessary drugs, due to her mental problems after the death of her son, they were obviously willing to blur the lines of the doctor-patient relationship and bend standard ethical rules, all for the sake of keeping their celebrity patient happy. Stern, too, put aside his better legal judgement in order to ease Smith's pain. Maybe none of them actually meant any harm. But then again, did Michael Jackson's doctors mean to hurt him? What about Heath Ledger's doctors? If Anne Nicole's psychiatrist gets jail time, maybe that will send the necessary message to celebrity doctors: sometimes, the best way to help is by saying no.

Do you think the doctors who prescribe too many drugs to celebrities should go to jail? Chime in below!

Heidi Montag

On Tuesday (September 8), Heidi Montag continued her stay in the tropical locale of Costa Rica. The bikini-clad former MTV reality star sipped on a drink while taking a dip in the pool at her villa as one of her dogs joined in on the waterbound action. In related news, Spencer Pratt has spoken out about his misguided steps when it comes to being a husband to Heidi Montag. Pratt tells, "Divorce can be a trying, draining, and emotionally devastating experience for all involved. Despite these hardships, most individuals manage to conduct themselves with dignity and maturity. I did not ? I failed spectacularly." Expressing his remorse over his sex tape sell attempt, the 270year-old tells, "I horribly embarrassed the one person that meant the world to me. For my outrageous and infantile behavior, I offer Heidi my most sincere apologies." Continuing on, Spencer gushed, "Over the years, her love, support, and friendship were always given, but never properly cherished. I let her down. She never deserved the pain and anguish I put her through, and although I don't expect it, I hope in time she'll be able to forgive me. Even though our relationship has changed, I will always count her among my best friends." Enjoy the pictures of Heidi Montag living the good life in Costa Rica (September 8). [gallery=736]

'Glee' Britney Spears Episode Slammed By Parents Television Council

Group describes show as 'an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque.'
By James Dinh

Last week's episode of "Glee" found Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) shouting, "It's a Britney Spears sex riot!" as she attempted to put a stop to the glee club's saucy rendition of "Toxic."

But she's not the only one who had an issue with the Spears takeover at William McKinley High School. The hit Fox show has come under fire as the Parents Television Council has deemed the "Britney/Brittany" episode the "Worst TV Show of the Week" due to the broadcast's "explicit sexual content."

A message posted on the organization's website decries the episode's "skimpy outfits" and "sultry grinds" during "I'm a Slave 4 U." And even though "Glee" castmembers show very little skin in the re-creation for the 2001 Madonna duet "Me Against the Music," the PTC said the interpretation included "plenty of girl-girl bumping and grinding."

According to the group, the tribute to the always-controversial Spears wasn't appropriate because the singer is far from a suitable role model.

"Glee earned its highest ratings ever with this Britney Spears tribute, drawing 13.3 million viewers," the message continued. "A scary thought considering that the mostly young teen/tween audience basically witnessed an endorsement of narcotics abuse, public masturbation, and school-sanctioned burlesque. But perhaps most troubling is the deification of a troubled pop star into a symbol of empowerment and self-esteem. Considering her stints in rehab, her very public breakdowns, and her questionable parenting skills, there is absolutely no way Spears should be considered a role model. The producers of the show can spare us the old song-and-dance about fallen celebs turning their lives around. What's next? Portraying Ike Turner as a reformed feminist?"

Spears knows controversy and criticism far too well. Since the beginning of her career, she's always raised eyebrows with everything from her sex-kitten public image to her sometimes-questionable parental judgment. While the pop star has played it relatively safe since her comeback, the singer did make headlines last year for her suggestive single "If U Seek Amy," the third offering from her album Circus.

Do you think the "Britney/Brittany" episode of "Glee" was inappropriate? Tell us in the comments below!

Tom Cruise to Star in a Musical?

Tom Cruise to Star in a Musical?

Tom Cruise has been a vampire, a secret agent and the last samurai -- but can he cut it as a rock star? According to E! Online, the actor has been offered a role in the film Rock of Ages, an adaptation of the Broadway musical celebrating '80s metal. The hit show, which originally starred Constantine Maroulis, features such songs as Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It," Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," and Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Which begs the question: can Tom Cruise sing? We know he can dance, thanks to his wild performance as Les Grossman at the MTV Movie Awards. But really, the only time we can remember him belting a tune is the karaoke scene in 1986's Top Gun. What do you think: can he cut it?



Now that musicals are back in a big way (thanks, Glee!), Cruise is surely not the only star contemplating a song-and-dance debut. Here are a few others we'd like to see tapping their toes on the big screen!

Katie Holmes - The jury may be out on whether Cruise can sing, but there's no denying his wife's serious stage talents! Check out this clip of Holmes serenading Cruise with "Whatever Lola Wants" in a benefit performance for her charity, the Dizzy Feet Foundation:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt - As far as we're concerned, the handsome star of Inception and (500) Days of Summer could be the next Gene Kelly. If you saw him his Saturday Night Live opening last November -- a pitch-perfect rendition of "Make 'Em Laugh," complete with dizzying choreography -- we dare you to disagree.

Maya Rudolph - This former SNL star frequently showed off her impressive vocals, often mimicking singers like Beyonce and Whitney Houston with amazing accuracy. We know she's got the pipes, so we'd love to see her get a star vehicle of her own. How about The Whitney Houston Story?

Would you like to see Tom Cruise in a musical? Chime in below!

Matt And Kim Road-Test Sidewalks, Plan Team-Up With 'Subaru Dude'

'You can't really admittedly be bumping your [own] music,' Kim Schifino laughs to MTV News.
By James Montgomery


Kim and Matt
Photo: MTV News

Matt and Kim have never exactly done things by the book — see their super-nude video for "Lessons Learned" for proof of this — so when it came time to choose a title for their new album, they did it in a fairly unconventional way.

"We had a moment where we decided the album was done, we got in our van, we drove around Brooklyn, had the windows down [and] we were blasting it, and I think it kinda really came at that point. We were like, 'This needs to be called Sidewalks,' " Kim Schifino said. "But it's kind of like the thing, you can't wear your own band's T-shirt, you can't really admittedly be bumping your [own] music."

"We've been in a club before where they've played a Matt and Kim song," her partner, Matt Johnson, added, "and we're kind of dancing and the Matt and Kim song comes on, and we're like, 'Should we stop dancing? Is that weird to be out in public dancing to your own music?' "

Luckily, it was a dilemma they were willing to face, and the end result was Sidewalks (in stores Tuesday), the follow-up to their breakthrough Grand album, which, of course, featured "Lessons" and — more importantly — "Daylight," a song that brought them a modicum of fame (and some cash in their pockets) when it was featured rather prominently in a commercial for Bacardi.

Thanks to the success of both, the stakes are definitely raised for the Brooklyn duo this time out. That's why they've got big plans for the video for Sidewalks' first single, "Cameras" (details of which they're still hesitant to share), and another still-to-be-named clip, which, hopefully will co-star another guy who's well-known around Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood: Anthony Delia, the so-called "Subaru Dude" who cruises the streets in his car belting out oldies. When you think about it, it's a rather nice way of bringing things full-circle.

"There's this guy in Williamsburg who rides around and he sings oldies ... he drives around just belting it out," Schifino laughed. "I really want to do a video where we convince him that we get in the back, he drives us around, and he sings one of our songs."

"But only .0001 percent of the people would know who that is," Johnson said. "He's always out there. I see him more than I see most of my friends."

The star power at the upcoming American Music Awards just got kicked up a notch — or 20. In addition to the previously announced performance from Christina Aguilera, the November 21 show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles will feature the debut AMA appearances from three of music's hottest young stars.

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Ke$ha will all perform at the show alongside a roster of veteran acts including Bon Jovi, Pink and Usher. Fittingly, all three newbies are also nominated for Artist of the Year, a category that features heavy-hitters Eminem and Lady Gaga as well. Em and Lady Antebellum lead all nominees with five apiece.

"As a small-town kid from Canada, I never imagined that I would be nominated for AMAs, let alone be performing on the show," Bieber said, according to The Associated Press, which added that the 16-year-old professed to feel "extremely humbled and honored" by the invitation to play the show.

More presenters and performers will be announced in coming weeks.

"Justin, Katy and Ke$ha have been on the top of the charts all year long. We are happy to see each of them make their own AMA history," AMA producer Larry Klein said in a statement announcing the additions. Bieber is nominated in four categories overall, while Ke$ha and Perry are up for three awards.

Winners will be determined by online voting at AMA.ABC.com.

Kendra Wilkinson Turns Down Playboy Offer

While she's currently ready for the kickoff of another season of "Kendra" on E!, Kendra Wilkinson has opted against baring all for the magazine that started her career, Playboy.

The blonde beauty recently received an offer to once again pose for the popular men's mag - but sources tell Life & Style that Kendra said no due to not being in the right physical form.

The Life & Style insider tells, "She's not worried about her husband, Hank [Baskett], or offending people. She just wants to lose more weight before doing it."

"If and when she's ready to do it again, she will," the source adds. "But not right now."

RIP: Hipsters?

hipsters

If you live in Brooklyn, ride a bike, wear skinny jeans, or listen to bands with the words "wolf" or "deer" in their names, you've probably been called a hipster at one point or another. And each time this has happened, you've probably denied it or been offended. Looks like you may now rest in peace with your collection of Duran Duran band tees because according to pop culture analysts, the era of the hipster is over. Or at least nearing its end. That's what's implied with the new text from the n+1 foundation called What Was The Hipster: A Sociological Investigation (was being the operative word). In a New York magazine article adapted from the essay, the author points out that yes, hipsters are still alive and well but that "we have reached the end of an epoch in the life of the type. Its evolution lasted from 1999 to 2009, though it has shifted appearance dramatically over the decade. It survived this year; it may persist. Indications are everywhere, however, that we have come to a moment of stocktaking." ...

Is It Over for Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf?

Is It Over for Carey Mulligan and Shia LaBeouf?

Rumors began swirling last week that Hollywood sweethearts Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan had hit the skids -- and now it seems there's more proof to support the breakup talk. According to the U.K.'s Daily Mail, Mulligan has moved out of her Wall Street 2 costar's home and has plans to head back across the pond.

"I'm moving back to England; it's a long story," she reportedly told friends at the premiere of her latest film, Never Let Me Go, in the West End of London.

In the meantime, Mulligan has set up shop in a hotel -- but it's not where you think. According to reports, the 25-year-old actress is renting a room at a Best Western in Hollywood, spending just $108 a night for a standard room with a queen bed. She's been spotted shopping at a nearby supermarket and has been hauling groceries back to her room for just about two weeks now.

"This is more a place for back-packers, students and those on a budget," said a hotel staffer. "We pride ourselves on being clean and tidy but this is a long way from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood."

Well, nobody can accuse the actress of being high maintenance, right?

LaBeouf and Mulligan began dating when they met on the set of the Michael Douglas flick, and she's been crashing at his place while filming her new movie, Drive. There has been no official word on the couple's split, but sources are buzzing that it might have to do with LaBeouf's wandering eye and his new Transformers 3 costar and lingerie model, Rosie Huntingdon-Whiteley.

Do you think it's strange that Carey Mulligan is staying at a low-budget hotel? Chime in below!

Gwen Stefani Hits Mr Bones with the Boys!

She's known to love the annual falltime traditions, and Gwen Stefani was back out for another year of pumpkin patch fun with sons Zuma and Kingston in West Hollywood on Tuesday (October 26).

The No Doubt frontwoman toted little Zuma in her arms while her costume-clad eldest boy Zuma was tended to by a nanny while roaming the grounds at the celeb-popular Mr Bones Pumpkin Patch.

Surprisingly absent from the family outing was patriarch Gavin Rossdale, who recently made headlines upon admitting to a gay love fling with a cross-dresser named Marilyn many years back.

Meanwhile, Gavin just recently announced that his band Bush is reuniting for a tour and new CD release after an eight year break.

With the band first set to play at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in New Jersey on October 30, Rossdale told Reuters, "I'm so pleased because I've got my voice back. To be in Bush, you're basically born to be in...it's like a suit of armor."

Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway Talk 'Love & Other Drugs' Nudity

'There's a big difference between nudity and two characters living their lives without their clothes on,' Anne Hathaway tells MTV News.
By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Josh Horowitz

From the very first time Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway meet onscreen in "Love & Other Drugs," clothes come off and a whole lot of skin is exposed. That nude scene sets the tone for the rest of the film, surprising in that these two A-listers seem to bare it all at nearly every turn.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with nudity in film, and I would hope that any actor that is asked to reveal that part of themselves has as loving and open an experience as we had," Hathaway recently told MTV News.

Gyllenhaal clearly agreed and he was more than happy to let Hathaway explain the rather unique experience they had with their nude scenes in the movie opening November 24. "You're good at this one!" he said.

The usual protocol for nude scenes in Hollywood is for filmmakers to prepare a comprehensive outline of exactly what body parts will be exposed onscreen. Then the negotiations begin. That's not what happened between Gyllenhaal, Hathaway and director Edward Zwick on "Other Drugs," a film about a charismatic Viagra salesman (Gyllenhaal) who falls for a free-spirited beauty with one dark secret (Hathaway).

"We just kind of all decided to go a different way this time," Hathaway explained. "[Jake and I] talked about it and we talked with Ed about it and we said, 'You know, we're gonna do what we feel comfortable. Let's talk about why we feel this is important. Let's talk about the story we hope to tell through these scenes.' I think there's a big difference between having nudity and having two characters living their lives without their clothes on.

"Then once we kind of decided how we feel about it, we said, 'Ed, please shoot it as you see fit,' knowing that Ed is not an exploitative person," she continued. "And at the end, we were shown the scenes that Ed had cut and we were given full license to say, 'I don't like this, I do like this, I think this shot feels a little linger-y to me.' As a result, it became this organic process."
