AIRBRUSH REQUEST BACKFIRES FOR KATE

Kate Beckinsale was looking characteristically ravishing when she turned out for the premiere of her new vampire flick Underworld.

The 30-year-old resorted to some computerised assistance for the film's promotional poster, however. Wanting to look a little more curvaceous, she asked the graphics team to accentuate her figure. But it seems they went a little too far, as she later had to ask for her assets to be reduced again.

"I got over-excited and asked them to enlarge my breasts," admitted the actress. "But they gave me such large ones I had to have them shaved. The poster is still a bit generous. I think it was done to please me, I still have a bit extra." In the picture Kate appears clad in black latex silhouetted against the full moon.

And an augmented physique wasn't the only thing she took away from the movie, as she is set to marry director Len Wiseman. "If you meet somebody who makes you feel like you'll die if you're not with them, there's not much you can do about it," she said.

Although she had initially asked to be given a bit of a "boost" in the posters, the actress apparently decided that closer to her natural silhouette was the way to go in the Underworld publicity material
