Jonas Brothers Split Up: 'It's Over For Now'

The brothers and bandmates end speculation brought on by their cancelled tour, saying they are "closing a chapter" in their lives.

Pop rock group Jonas Brothers have ended speculation about their future, telling fans: "It's over for now."

The band - Nick, 21, Joe, 24, and Kevin, 25 - have been together since 2005 and gained worldwide popularity when they appeared in Disney film Camp Rock.

Rumours of a separation surfaced earlier this month when the band announced they were cancelling their tour because of a "deep rift" within the group.

They previously told fans: "Please hold while we get our **** together."

However, in an interview with People magazine, Kevin said: "It's over for now."

Joe described the split as a "unanimous decision", while Nick added: "It's really hard to say (it's) forever. We're closing a chapter, for sure."

Jonas Brothers have sold more than eight million albums worldwide and were nominated for best new artist at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

They won 14 Teen Choice Awards and scooped the breakthrough prize at the American Music Awards in 2008.

The band's third and fourth studio albums - A Little Bit Longer and Lines, Vines and Trying Times respectively - both reached number one on the US Billboard chart and were top 20 hits in the UK.

Their 2007 track SOS was their most successful UK single, reaching number 13 in the charts.

Katy Perry Admits "I Love Comedians"; Still Loves Funnyman Despite Russell Brand Split

Russell Brand hasn’t stopped Katy Perry from loving comedy genius then.

The singer gushed that she loves funny people so much that she wishes to blend them into her work more.

The 28-year-old star has a busy schedule but has a desire to appear on more comedy sketch shows.

"I wish I could do some comedy sketches because I love being around comedians, I love the air, I love the kind of craziness that's going on upstairs, but I have to go all over the world and I'm only one person," she admitted on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

"I'm not like in a band or in a girl group, so I have to kind of delegate my time very carefully. I'm like picking out the costumes for the dancers, writing the lyrics and making sure the lights are right.".

Former Saturday Night Live stars Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig are just some of her idols in the field. She loves that they don’t take themselves too seriously.

"I just love self-deprecating women who can kind of make fun of themselves and it's not all about them and their nice lighting," she commented.

"They don't have to be chic in every shot. They can kind of laugh at themselves."

Katy’s third album Prism is currently her work focus and she explained it’s a tad different to her usual stuff. Compared to 2010's Teenage Dream, she opens up more.

"I think the difference between [Teenage Dream] and this next one is it's kind of vulnerable and raw and stripped down," she shared.

"It's an evolution, it's three years later and a bit more grown-up, but still having lots of fun. I mean, look, I'm in pigtails. I'm not that grown up!"

Miley Cyrus Breaks Her Silence on Liam Hemsworth Split: "I'm Obsessed With Being Alone"

The 20-year-old singer has finally dished details about parting ways from her boyfriend of four years and former fiancé on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' airing Friday.

Miley Cyrus made an appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' airing Friday and opened up about her recent split from fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

The 20-year-old star has finally opened up about her split from fiancé Liam Hemsworth during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show," airing Friday.

Cyrus has dodged dishing details on breaking off her engagement with the handsome “Hunger Games" star for weeks while on a press tour for her latest album “Bangerz” -- until now.

"So the last time you were here I threw you an engagement party," the daytime host said to Cyrus as she showed a clip of her last appearance in Nov. 2012 with strippers dancing for her.

"Do you want your money back?” Cyrus joked.

"I want my money back. I sent like you know (showing the strippers again) you enjoyed it," DeGeneres said.

'I really am genuinely happy finally with myself which I think sometimes it takes you separating yourself from someone else to really be happy with who you are,' Cyrus said about how she is doing post-split from Liam Hemsworth.

"I should of kept one of those dudes' numbers," Cyrus quipped.

DeGeneres then asked the pop star if its been uncomfortable getting all the media attention surrounding the break up.

“It's not really as awkward because I'm living it," she continued.

"So I think people spend more time actually thinking about it then I really do. I just believe when a chapter is done you have to close it and start that new one. That's kind of where I am right now. I felt like I have so much to be thankful for at this time that my energy hasn't really been focused on that."

The "We Can't Stop" singer goes on to say she doesn't want her personal life to overshadow her music, but admits her new record has a lot to do with her relationship with Hemsworth.

"I think it says that with starting with "Adore You" and ending with "Someone Else" is I feel like you can really find like this arch of like growth and I didn't even know as much of… until I really listened to it now that it's done and I have like my physical copy and I put it in my car. I'm like this is really like telling a story. I think I knew more intuitively where my life was going then I actually thought I did at the time."

As for if the two, who met on the set of "The Last Song" and dated for four years, still communicate, Cyrus said, "You know for me I really haven't gotten to see anyone right now. 'Cause I've been so crazy busy. I'm just letting that chapter kind of close and just looking forward to that new one."

"I want to be really clear and determined with everything I'm doing in my life right now and I have been… I keep saying I'm the happiest I've ever been and that's not even a dig. That's just me because I really am genuinely happy finally with myself which I think sometimes it takes you separating yourself from someone else to really be happy with who you are. I've never been able to just be alone and I'm obsessed with being alone and like hearing my thoughts."

Jennifer Lawrence Still Scarred From Being Told to Diet - Interview

Oscar winning-actress Jennifer Lawrence looked stunning on the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK's November issue.

In her interview, the 23-year-old American actress talked about the criticism she had to face over her weight during initial days of her career.

“I was young. It was just the kind of sh*t that actresses have to go through. Somebody told me I was fat, that I was going to get fired if I didn’t lose a certain amount of weight. They brought in pictures of me where I was basically naked, and told me to use them as motivation for my diet. It was just that. [Someone brought it up recently] They thought that because of the way my career had gone, it wouldn’t still hurt me. That somehow, after I won an Oscar, I’m above it all. ‘You really still care about that?’ Yeah. I was a little girl. I was hurt. It doesn’t matter what accolades you get. I know it’ll never happen to me again. If anybody even tries to whisper the word ‘diet’, I’m like, ‘You can go f*ck yourself,’” she said. 

Lawrence, who won the Best Actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at the Academy Awards earlier this year, revealed that she had to face a lot of backlash for stumbling during her acceptance speech. At the event, she had donned a white-and-pale pink strapless Dior Haute Couture gown complimented by Chopard jewels, a Roger Vivier clutch and Brian Atwood shoes. 

“[The other person said] Other people are getting up and owning the stage and you sound like a stuttering idiot. Pull it together.’ And I said, ‘I’m not doing it on purpose, I’m uncomfortable and when people get uncomfortable they resort to their sh*t. I make awkward jokes and stutter. That was actually a moment when I really wanted it to be special. That was not the time I wanted to be the Down-home Girl. I wanted to be graceful,” she explained.

The actress' next Hunger Games film, Catching Fire, which also stars Liam Hemsworth will premiere on 11 November in the UK and worldwide on 22 November.

Rihanna’s Shocking Confession - No Sex Since Chris Brown?

Rihanna got down to the nitty gritty in an interview with Alan Carr on Sept. 27 and revealed that her sex life has been quite boring recently. Is she holding out for Chris?

Chris Brown, look alert – Rihanna’s got that feeling and she needs sexual healing! Though the sexy singer’s Instagram is loaded with racy pictures, RiRi revealed in a tantalizing interview that her sex life may not be as wild as we think.

Rihanna: My Sex Life Is ‘Pathetic’

All the praise to Alan Carr, host of the British show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, who pressed the issue with Rihanna by saying, “I’ve got to ask you — what do you do about men when you’re on tour? You’re hot, you’re a single woman, and I know women have needs…”

The Unapologetic singer knew exactly what he was asking, but unfortunately she didn’t have too many racy details to reveal! “I am such a bootleg rockstar, I do nothing,” Rihanna responded, hinting at a considerably long drought in the bedroom.

“I’m embarrassed to say that, actually,” Rihanna continued. “That’s so disgusting. Pathetic.”

Save for a few breaks here and there, Rihanna has been on her “Diamonds” world tour since March. That’s about a seven-month drought! And she’s still got a little ways to go before she can work on finding an oasis — the “Diamonds” tour does not end until Nov. 15.

Rihanna’s ‘Sex Dream’ Tweets

RiRi’s recent “sex dreams” tweets now make a lot more sense with this revelation in mind. The singer went wild on Twitter on Sept. 20, writing things like, “Lastnight…. YOU were in my sex dreams!!” and “I could give a phuck about the foreplay…I want it now.”

But who can blame Rihanna for getting so worked up after being shut out for so long!? One thing’s for sure, it’s going to get crazy when Rihanna finishes her tour.

Topless Miley Cyrus Interview At Rolling Stone Magazine Photoshoot

When we hung out with Miley Cyrus for our new cover story, the 20-year-old superstar didn't just get Rolling $ tone tattooed on her feet and jump out of an airplane. She also said a bunch of smart, funny things! It turns out Miley's mouth isn't just the place her tongue hangs out between posing for photos. The interviews covered way more ground than could fit in the story, so we've gathered some of the best parts. Presenting the Wisdom of Miley.

ON HER VMAS PERFORMANCE

I know what I'm doing. I know I'm shocking you. When I'm dressed in that teddy bear thing, I think that's funny. I was saying yesterday, I had this obsession about this character that's like an adult baby. Like if you see a baby do something like that it's so warped and weird, but there's something creepily hot about it. So when I'm in that teddy bear suit, I'm like a creepy, sexy baby. But I forget that it's, like, people in Kansas watching the show. That people sit their kid in front of the TV and are like, "Oh, an awards show! Let's watch."

ON RACE AND POP MUSIC

Me and [producer] Mike WiLL were talking about it. He said, "For me, my biggest achievement has been working with a white girl - but for a white girl to work and associate with black producers, you're being ratchet." He's like, "Why am I on the come-up if I work with you, but if you work with me, it's like you're trying to be hood?" It's a double-standard. I didn't really realize it, but people are still racist. It's kind of insane. Like if I had come out [at the VMAs] with all white-girl dancers, and done the fucking "Cha Cha Slide" - same outfit, same everything - it wouldn't have been bad. But because of who I came out with, people got upset. Because they were girls from the club. They had thick asses. They were twerking. That's what I want, though - I want real girls up there who can really party. The Baker girls [her backup dance crew, the L.A. Bakers] don't give a fuck about me. They love me, but they're not kissing my ass. They're just excited to not be dancing at the club.

ON DRUGS

I think weed is the best drug on earth. One time I smoked a joint with peyote in it, and I saw a wolf howling at the moon. Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs - social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom. I really don't like coke. It's so gross and so dark. It's like what are you, from the Nineties? Ew.

ON BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT

I said I was going to take a year off before I made this record. But it's hard to take a break. It's almost depressing when you're not working. You're so used to people calling your name, and that energy, and when you don't have it anymore. . . That's why I never complain about people wanting autographs or pictures. Because if there were a few days where no one asked, I'd probably be like, "What the fuck's going on? Do people not like me?" I hate the paparazzi - but when they're not sitting there waiting for you, you're like "Who's bigger news? Who are you trying to get a picture of?"

ON THE "WRECKING BALL" VIDEO

It's the opposite of the VMAs. It's like the Sinead O'Connor video [for "Nothing Compares 2 U"], but, like, the most modern version. I wanted it to be tough but really pretty - that's what Sinead did with her hair and everything. The trick is getting the camera up above you, so it almost looks like you're looking up at someone and crying. I think people are going to hate it, they're going to see my ass and be like, "Oh my God, I can't believe she did that" - and then when we get to the bridge, they're gonna have a little tear and be like, "Fuck you!" I think it will be one of those iconic videos, too. I think it's something that people are not gonna forget. Hopefully an artist 30 years from now will be like, "Yo, you remember that Miley Cyrus video? We gotta do something like that."

That sledgehammer was heavy as shit, though. My arms were so sore the next day. And they didn't tell me it was painted, so I was licking it, and they were like, "Don't lick that!"

ON HER FAMOUS TONGUE

I just stick my tongue out because I hate smiling in pictures. It's so awkward. It looks so cheesy. Now people expect it, like, "Put your tongue out!" It's just easier that way. Taking pictures is so embarrassing. But there's also something about it that I think is cool. Every other girl is so serious - like, this is my moment on the red carpet, I'm in my ball gown, looking pretty. There's something empowering about what I'm doing right now. Especially having "short hair don't care." I think it's empowering for girls. Because there's not one thing that defines what beauty is.

ON LIVING IN LOS ANGELES

The thing about L.A. is it's pretty much always nice out here. Even when it was 100 the other day, I loved it. It felt good. I worked on my album in Philly, and I would take the train to New York on the weekends, and I'd get off the train and immediately want to die. I would just hate my life. And I'm from Nashville, which is kind of similar - when it's hot, it's fucking miserable. But Nashville, at least it kind of rains in the summer. I don't even remember the last time it rained out here. I always wondered how those big-ass fires start in LA, and then I'll throw my cigarette out the window or something, and I'm like "There it is."

ON ANIMALS

I love animals, but I don't really like riding animals. Like, I don't love being on a horse - it's just not my thing. I feel kinda bad. Like, I just want to pet you. I don't really want to put you to work. But cats - cats are fucking creepy. Oh my God, cats are creepy. Every time I see a cat, I think it's gonna turn on me. It's gonna turn for the worst. I don't ever see loyalty in cats. They're gonna scratch you, and then run away. Same with little dogs. Did you know Yorkies were bred to kill mice in the Queen's palace? I had a Yorkshire Terrier, and if I was a rat, it definitely would have eaten me. And Chihuahuas are the most scary animals on the planet. I'm terrified of Chihuahuas.

ON WATCHING TV

I like Workaholics a lot. American Horror Story is my favorite show - it's so good, so scary. I think I'm gonna start Downton Abbey next, but I don't know if it's my vibe. I always thought that shit was too hipster. And Breaking Bad I just got into, but I haven't been able to keep up with it as much. There's just a lot of him coughing. I'm in the first season, and the coughing is driving me crazy. Like, we get it. You're dying. Do you really need a whole two-minute scene of another cough attack? It's too much. In every bad situation, how does he get out? He just starts coughing.

ON HER HUMANITARIAN WORK

I do these hearing aids for deaf kids in Haiti. We go to the schools and fit the kids for hearing aids, and then go back and give them to them. It's the craziest experience, because you go in and it's so quiet, because no one's ever talked. There are people who are 90 years old who've never talked at all. And then you leave, and it's so loud! They're all yelling over each other, because they can hear. It's so awesome. When I first went, I was wearing, like, mountain climbing boots, but now I go back and I'm in flip flops, I'm touching everyone's hands, I get wasted on rum. Haitians are awesome. They have no idea who I am. They know that I'm someone, but they don't know what. They just know that they're selling my backpacks in the street.

ON MEDIA OUTRAGE

I think it's all marketing. If a website is like, "We love Miley's performance!" I don't think people are gonna click on it. "Miley's cute performance with teddy bears!" - No one is gonna click on that. So I think it's the media riling up the people, rather than people riling up the media. And what makes me kind of sick is, Trayvon Martin's trial didn't happen more than two months ago. It got talked about a lot - but it still got done being talked about a lot quicker than the VMAs. And that's really sad. For about two days, it was on Twitter and everything, everyone had their pictures as Trayvon - and then two days later, where was it? Who cared anymore? Even I was like, "I want to help his family when it's an appropriate time." But then people just forgot. It slips your mind. We go on to the next thing, our next problem. It's like, "Why are we not still dealing with that? Why are we not still mourning that loss?"

ON RELATIONSHIPS

It's all a back-and-forth. Like, when my parents are good, they're good, and when they're not, they're not, but they always get themselves back on track. They never put pressure on themselves. And I think that's a better way to be. That's how they've gotten themselves through everything they've been through. The best thing my parents ever taught me is that you don't have to be attached at the fucking hip. You don't have to be holding hands all the fucking time. Like my dad can go chill in Nashville for a while, and my mom can stay in LA, but they're still walking side by side. And as long as you're on the same path, one can go a little ahead, and one can be a little behind.

ON GOING BACK TO SCHOOL

Once I ended [Hannah Montana], I thought I might go to NYU or something and study photography. Or to Savannah - they've got a really good school in Savannah. I love photography. I have a Canon 5D. I want to co-direct something soon. When they're saying "Change this lens to this millimeter," I want to know what they're talking about. But I'm never going to be able to go to school and have the normal life. I kind of like the way Mary Kate and Ashley did it. They were bajillionaires from being these kid stars, and they decided that that wasn't the future that they wanted. So they did fashion, and they kind of blended in at NYU. I don't think people bug them. I think in New York, it's not cool to care.

ON HER WORK-LIFE BALANCE

I try to not work too many Sundays. At least on Sunday nights, I try to chill out a little bit. I call it Sunday Funday. Before I got my chef, it would be like Chinese takeout, chill by the pool. Every Sunday, I try to get in my pool for at least a little bit and just chill with the dogs. Have a second to reset my mind, get ready for Monday. Not really do anything, just be home. I look forward to those days.

ON HER VERSION OF STARDOM

I want to be the cool chick that everyone wants to be friends with. I want the people who watch my shows or watch my videos to be like, "She looks like the most fun person to hang out with ever. I want to be that girl's best friend. I want to party with her." It's like, if you're hanging out with Beyoncé, it's almost like you're hanging out with a goddess. She's like a real queen. It's a different realm. Where my thing is kind of the opposite. My shtick is I'm the homey.

ON HER DAD'S RELUCTANCE TO LET HER BE IN SHOW BUSINESS

I think if he'd known how it was going to pan out, he would have let me. It's more that he didn't necessarily want me to. It's almost like Toddlers and Tiaras - getting the little kids all dolled up and putting so much pressure on them to win. He didn't want me ever to feel. . . the right word isn't "pageant-y," but I don't think he wanted me to feel like I had to be a certain way. Even when it comes to growing up - like, I didn't really start dressing myself until I was fucking 16. I always had a stylist. So I think my dad wanted me to figure out all that out on my own. To go through my awkward stages without people zooming in on every fucking pimple. I think he wanted me to be able to be a kid and have braces and go through my ugly phase, without people talking about it. To be able to just hang and live.

ON BEING TALKED ABOUT IN THE PRESS

My parents have never allowed tabloids in the house. When my mom used to have assistants or whatever and they would bring tabloids over, she would be like, "Can't work with us. I don't want my kids reading that." So my dad doesn't really know what they're saying about me or our family - which is better. It's good that he doesn't know how to Google and all that shit. My dad barely knows how to use the computer. It literally takes him 45 minutes to send a tweet. He's like, "Can I do a picture on my BlackBerry? Is there an app for that?" I'm like, "Dad, you don't have an iPhone. You don't even know what that means."

ON HER ROLE MODELS

I watch people like Dolly [Parton]. Dolly knows what she is. She's smart. She's not just a blonde with big titties - she is a genius under there. She literally came from nothing, and now you go anywhere in the world, and they know Dolly Parton. It's like, don't let people's judgment define who you are. Don't read the comments and get nervous. Know who you are.

ON SPACE TRAVEL

I've always dreamed of going into space. I'm going to go at some point. Virgin Galactic is taking a ship up next year - I'm trying to get on there right now. I've got a friend who invested in it, and he can kind of hook it up. I want to be one of the first ones. I thought the only way I would ever be allowed to go to space was if I was an astronaut. I never thought it was gonna be, like, a plane trip. At some point it's gonna be a normal fare. Right now it's like a billion dollars. But at some point it's gonna be like going to Australia.

ON CIVIL RIGHTS

When my kids are around, there will be no one on this planet who was alive when there was segregation. Like, my grandma was around when there was real segregation, when there was no intertwining. For her, for someone that was born in the Thirties, it's kind of shocking to have a black president. My grandma didn't have a fucking phone even in her house. It was like Gone With the Wind. Calling long distance was like the craziest shit ever. Now my grandma's like, "What do you mean you can watch a video on your phone?" It's gonna be the exact same thing with my kids: "What do you mean gay people couldn't get married?"

ON HER LOVE OF MUSIC

I'm just around music all the time. Even today, I woke up this morning, went in to my jam room, and I just jammed. I'll sit in there and jam all day. My chef loves it, 'cause every morning I'm down there playing the piano. I'm writing pretty much all the time. Sometimes I think other people don't get it - to them, it seems like all I do is work. But you can't shut off from this.

ON HER NEW ALBUM, BANGERZ

It's coming out soon, so right now I'm listening to it 20,000 times to make sure it's perfect. I have to make sure every detail is perfect. There are albums that people still are listening to, like Michael Jackson's Bad, because it's so fucking dope. I want people to listen to my album like that. There's a line Ludacris says on my album that goes, "If I die before my time, at least I'll still be living through my music." That's something I've said over and over again. Like, I have one Pixies record that is a time for me - from the time I was 16 until I was 18, the Pixies is all I listened to. And I'm going to be that artist to so many people, so I want to make sure my record is the best it can be. I'm trying to set a new standard for pop music. So it has to live up.

Couples To Have Live Sex On Channel 4 Show

Channel 4 is to interview couples immediately after they have had sex on a TV show, it has announced.

In the past year, MPs, peers and staff in the Houses of Parliament tried to view sex 309,316 times. But they don't have sex in the Houses of Parliament. Not any more. Even I know that. They should've looked online instead. There's loads of sex on the internet. Or they could've just popped out to the newsagents and got some there. Or looked at some advertising.

But the internet is best. In fact there is so much sex on the internet and on our high streets that Diane Abbott MP is worried about how all this fake sex is affecting our children and our own sex lives. If Abbott knew the impact the smouldering, highly charged sexual chemistry she shared with Michael Portillo on This Week had on my own sex life and the sex lives of millions of ordinary, innocent people (not to mention its effect on Andrew Neil's hair), she might not be so outspoken on the subject.

Luckily, Channel 4 have also noticed how much sex there is everywhere and so, to counteract this "explosion of online pornography", they've commissioned a new show. That's got sex in it. How to boost your ratings while pretending to help society? Fight sex with sex! It's almost genius.

Anyway, in the show, called Sex Box, which sounds like an X-rated games console fronted by Tom Jones, three couples will have sex, in a box, in front of a studio audience, and then talk to Mariella Frostrup about it immediately afterwards. There won't be time for a cup of tea or a wash or to cry or lie about anything.

Channel 4's head of factual programming, Ralph Lee, said there was "nothing salacious" about the show and that "strangely it's quite a chaste programme – there's no sex in it". Eh? No sex?! I thought they were doing it in the box?

Can I just ask – does the box constitute a bedroom? Presumably it will have a bed in it. Will Channel 4 be liable for the bedroom tax? Will the couples be turfed out, moved to another TV studio that doesn't have a box and be made to do it on a sofa in reception?

Mariella, whose voice has been voted the sexiest in Britain, won't watch them doing it in the box, or read out a list of M&S products to them through a tube to get them going, but she will have to pretend to take the whole thing seriously after they come out of the sex box and look like she's not trying to avoid making any physical contact with them. I wouldn't imagine she'd want to shake their hands, will she? How will she greet them but avoid physical contact? Will she wear gardening gloves? Or curtsy? Will she bow? Or perform a Maasai dance? In 2007, Frostrup chaired a Q&A session with Gordon Brown at the Labour party conference in Bournemouth, so if she's used to that level of awkwardness, I'm sure she can handle a sweaty couple who've just been going at it in a box.

Looking at the publicity photographs, it's quite a big box, made out of wood or something. It's not a cardboard box. They should've called it Sex in a Box, and have whichever one climaxes first ejected out of the top of the box, while McFly (the house band) plays Pop Goes the Weasel. Apparently there is a sequel in development, called Sex in a Cardboard Box. A moving, insightful and not at all exploitative documentary about the sex lives of the homeless.

The programme's part of a season on Channel 4 called the Campaign for Real Sex, like the Campaign for Real Ale, but with less ale and more sex, and hopes to "reclaim sex from pornography". Lee said that the show is an opportunity for people who feel that their sex lives are not represented in the media to show the public what normal sex is like. I'm sorry, Ralph, I don't know what kind of sex you have, but "normal sex" is not having sex in a box in front of a live studio audience and then talking to Mariella Frostrup about it afterwards.

Even she doesn't do that. And since the bedroom tax, affordable housing shortage and massive rise in property prices, who's got a spare room to keep this massive sex box in anyway?

I like sex as much as the next person, but porn has monopolised sex. Showing more sex isn't necessarily the answer, even if it is inside a box. Internet service providers need to do more to stop children seeing inappropriate content and we need to look at how we use sex in advertising, and invest in proper sex education. And that doesn't mean Michael Gove telling teenagers that instead of sexting, they should send each other poems (using a commercially available app created by his wife's friend). If we've got Channel 4 and Michael Gove telling us how to have sex, then we're better off not having it. Surely we all know what to do by now? We've been here for about 200,000 years. My own parents had nine children, without Channel 4 or the secretary of state for education breathing down their necks, giving them tips.

Having said all that, I'll definitely be watching Sex Box. It sounds hilarious.

Do you like extreme emotions, why would you say that?

-Going through life with little emotion would be boring.

What is more extreme: jump from an airplane or pose nude for thousands, perhaps millions seen?

When posed nude, always with a photographer friend, so do not feel intimidated. Knowing that the world will see me really do not scare me. The Nude in Playboy is very sexy and classy. I think the first time I was scared and excited skydive. I used to be afraid of heights, not now.

What was more difficult: the first time you jumped out of a plane or the first time you placed naked?

-Jump with parachute. I remember that while obtaining the license, after doing some tandem jumps, I had one with the instructor jumps next to me. When I was on the plane, I would ask him what he was doing. (Laughs) But once I remembered was in the air because I love flying.

They say that sex makes the world go round, how important it is for a modern woman like you?

-Of course it's very important. If you have the right partner is even better. I think we all need sex, it's human nature, and you can fun with it.

What is making love? Is it more than just having sex? Do you spend a lot?

-It's not often, unless you find the right person. Making love is much more emotional, sex is fun. If you can combine both, is paradise.

Watch:

Do you try to flirt a lot?

-Yes and it is very flattering.

How men approach you when they try to meet?

-In a lot of ways. I actually think it's funny when in a den or some kind of bars and men try to get my attention. Some people do stupid things just so you know you are present, with the hope that they return the smile. Sometimes things just ask me silly.

Verse? Well (because you look really good) for easier visa?

-Many thanks for that (laughs). Well, for what I do, yes. But many times it is to my advantage, for example, when I go to the gym and just want to concentrate on my training, I turn around and there are many eyes on me. So when I want to be a normal girl on the beach or in the gym, I can not. Maybe I should start wearing baggy pants.

What is most important to you in a man: looks, personality, sense of humor, money or wisdom?

- The most important thing to me is someone who has ambition in what he does. The ambition always make someone successful in your career.

Do your tips for any guy who wants to approach a woman?

-I think if you get close to a woman with class, act like a gentleman and samples that you are interested in who you are and what you want, there will be less chance of being rejected. Those who speak of themselves or what they have and all the money they gave to some charity or fundraising, or the car you drive, have the most to lose. We do not like men lucid.
