“I didn’t want to go as big as that,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying. She added: “It’s nice that I don’t have to wear a push-up bra any more, but I could have left myself alone.”
Actress Katherine Heigl faced an embarrassing situation when one of the straps broke on her red dress in the middle of her acceptance speech at an award function in Las Vegas.
The 31-year-old actress was being honoured with Female Star of the Year Award at the ShoWest convention for her work in films like "27 Dresses" and "The Ugly Truth".
She couldn't finish her speech as she battled with the broken strap, reports dailymail.co.uk. Billy Bush, host of the show, stepped in as a savior by holding her strap in place and giving her a chance to say a few words without worry of showing too much flesh.
After receiving her award, she went backstage and found a pin to secure the strap before heading to the photographers' enclosure to show off her new award.
They turn heads on the red carpet, are besieged by the world's top designers, give tearful acceptance speeches, and go home with a little gold man called Oscar.
But shortly after many actresses win the movie industry's highest honour, their most important relationships fall apart in what has become known in Hollywood as the "Oscar curse."
Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet, the 2010 and 2009 best actress Oscar winners, this week joined Halle Berry (2002), Julia Roberts (2001), Reese Witherspoon (2006) and Hilary Swank (2005) on that list.
Bullock's husband of five years, motorcycle enthusiast Jesse James, responded to allegations of cheating on Bullock with an apology on Thursday for the grief he had caused. The reasons behind the separation of Winslet from her film director husband Sam Mendes have so far remained private.
Tom O'Neil of the awards website TheEnvelope.com, pondered the link between such breakups and Oscar glory.
"Is it because victory goes to their heads and these women become impossible divas?," O'Neil wrote in a blog. "Or is it because their men are overly macho types who can't tolerate being upstaged?"
In Bullock's case, In Touch Weekly magazine this week quoted a model in California as saying she slept with James while his wife was in Atlanta last year filming what would be her Oscar-winning role in dramatic movie The Blind Side.
New York divorce lawyer Paul Talbert dismissed the notion of an Oscar curse, saying such breakups were more likely a result of long absences by one partner in a marriage.
"The reality is that these women are extremely successful, hard working women who must spend months away from their families shooting and promoting their films," Talbert said.
"It is no different than the situations of high income New York families where one spouse is often on the road several times per month raising capital for their hedge funds or researching businesses to invest in," he added.
But Hollywood can bring extra temptations in the form of beautiful men and women and the intimacy that can spring from long hours on film sets, especially in romantic scenes. And while nearly 50 percent of marriages fail, it seems the stars have an especially hard time making marriage work.
"Celebrities are uniquely exposed to a lot of very attractive people," said Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief of website HollywoodLife.com. "You have to be especially strong to resist that."
Bullock's recent Golden Globe and Screen Actor's Guild acceptance speeches were ironically peppered with heartfelt tribute to James, who despite brief appearances in a number of TV reality shows does not move in A-list circles.
"You get dressed up in monkey suits, and you sit at a table with people you don't know. I love you so much, and you're really hot!," she told him, and the world, in February.
Yet for some men, playing second fiddle in such high profile occasions may be too much to take, said Fuller.
"A lot of guys cannot handle a strong, successful woman, and the Oscar has to be one of ultimate accolades one can receive," she said.
Film producer/director Judd Apatow has revealed that he still has reserves about using 3D, especially when it comes to sex scenes.
Apatow, 42, who is behind raunchy comedies such as ‘Knocked Up’, ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ and ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’, which saw Jason Segel strip off, believes that sex scenes in 3D is a little too close for comfort.
“I don’t want everything in 3D because I don’t want to be in the middle of everything,” the Sun quoted him as saying.
“Sometimes I want to be distant from it… I don’t think anyone wants to see Jason Segel’s penis in 3D,” he added.

Pamela Anderson has said that she doesn't mind being single but misses having sex. The 'Baywatch' star recently parted ways with toyboy Jamie Padgett. "I always get my heart broken.

She said: "But my kids are 12 and 13 and I want to make sure they get their schooling. I need to focus on them and go to their games. My life is about them and me right now. I just haven't met the right person yet who fits into our world. I don't know why people consider me stupid. I'm actually really smart."
Anderson plans to move to Malibu in the later stage of her life. She said: "Hopefully, I'll rent out my house in Malibu when it's done, live in Malibu and rescue cats and dogs forever."
