The outspoken doyenne of stage, film and television answers your questions on who’s nice (and who’s not) in Hollywood, the voice she can’t bear and why she likes talking about sex
How did you get the job as the seductive voice of the sexy 1980s Cadbury Caramel bunny? VerulamiumParkRanger
Before I became an established actress, I was known for my work as a voice artist. I have quite a high girlish voice but I can deepen it for the purposes of sex. I once recorded what I call “take-home wanking tapes” such as Sexy Sonia: Leaves From My Schoolgirl Notebook. They were audio tapes, for sale in sex shops. One day, I went into Ann Summers and told the man behind the counter I was Sexy Sonia. He told me to keep my voice down because he didn’t want people to know Sexy Sonia was actually this short,...

It’s the cinematic experience that’s taking audiences across its knee and lightly smacking them a few times to titters and giggles, the debatably anticipated adaptation of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey has arrived in theatres worldwide.
Just like Rosé is simply wine for people who don’t actually drink wine, and the band Pendulum are drum and bass for people who don’t actually listen to drum and bass, Fifty Shades has brought Bdsm to an audience who once attended an Ann Summers party, laughed awkwardly at everything in the catalogue, and still have the free sachet of lubricant at the back of a drawer two years later.
Despite every critic taking their own personal riding crop to both the script and the story, audiences have flocked to see it en masse and given it one of the largest opening weekends in movie history. That might not make sense,...

London, Oct 6: A "Rampant Rabbit" sex toy has sparked a feud between its Jewish designer and lingerie giant Ann Summers.
Shed Simove designed the hand-crafted silicone sex toy in the form of a rabbi and sells it on his website for 99 pounds.
The designer from south London claims it is aimed at "the modern Jewish woman" and provides a "religious experience" for users.

Simove has said his local trading standards office rejected his application after Ann Summers' complaints, but is adamant.

I was thinking about heroines the other day, which led to thinking about fictional role models for girls and young women growing up over the last twenty years or so. Role models which, I think, have reflected the way American society thought about women during that same time period. Heroines and role models with the names Buffy Summers, Bella Swan, and Katniss Everdeen. On March 10, 1997, a series called Buffy The Vampire Slayer debuted on the fledging WB Network. I thought it was based on the schlock movie of the same name that had come and gone in the theatres and occasionally popped up on the TV screen at 3 A.M. So I ignored it, even though, as a credentialed geek, I loved anything to do with gothic horror and vampires. But word of mouth and e-buzz finally got me to tune in sometime in the summer of 1997, when I caught a rerun.

Subtlety, thy name is not Machete Kills. But to be honest, did anyone expect Robert Rodriguez to turn his sequel to 2010’s Mexploitation film into a quiet affair where Danny Trejo enjoys cocktails quietly while lounging by a sparkling pool? Nope! Check out the latest poster for the sequel. That would be Modern Family’s Sofia Vergara sporting just the latest in a line of Rodriguez’ violent body modification, following in the grand tradition of Tom Savini’s crotch gun in From Dusk Till Dawn and Rose McGowan’s shotgun leg in Planet Terror. Wonder if Ann Summers will be looking to do a tie-in range.... As for the film, the plot finds Danny Trejo’s titular troublemaker battling his way through Mexico to take down an arms dealer who is making serious threats. The cast includes Mel Gibson, Amber Heard, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Alexa Vega, Charlie Sheen, Vanessa Hudgens,...

Seitz Asks is a weekly feature in which our critic proposes a question about the medium, gives his own answer, then engages with readers about their responses. So who was my first TV crush? Mary Ann Summers from Gilligan's Island and Bailey Quarters from Wkrp in Cincinnati. I realize I'm cheating by listing two characters, but hey, there's an autobiographical reason for it. I was in elementary school when I first started watching Sherwood Schwartz's island sitcom in repeats. But in its goofy way, the juxtaposition of Dawn Wells's farm girl Mary Ann Summers and Tina Louise's Marilyn Monroe–wannabe Ginger Grant got me thinking about what attractive meant and how I would define it.One of the sitcom's conceits was that a whisper of interest from Ginger could make any man stutter and bump into palm trees. But even as an elementary-school dork, I knew Ginger...

Nat Garvey helps judge what adult shop Passion should stock after landing the "perfect" 25-pounds-a-year job more than two years ago.

Some four million of them are sold in the UK every year - more than half by Ann Summers - and numbers are rising.

By following what goes on in front of and behind the camera lens, this brand new concept-doc gets under the skin of modelling and reveals what life is like as a living beauty commodity. Is it one big glamorous party or a battle to stay on top?
In the first episode Perou holds an open casting. He meets the models putting themselves on the front line of fashion and selects eight who would never normally work together based on their individual look and character:
Charlotte (24) – ‘Classically, skinny modern day Twiggy’

It seems that fidelity is certainly Not Natasha Gigg’s middle name!
The mother of one has hit the headlines this week, after confessing to having an eight year affair with her husband’s brother Ryan Giggs.
Her husband was said to be understandably devastated by the news, but now he is set to sink to a new low, as it is claimed that his spouse also bedded three other Manchester United players.
The Sun claims that Natasha has also conducted affairs with Dwight Yorke, Phil Bardsley and Danny Simpson. Dwight is of course well known for being the father of Katie Price’s son Harvey and sources close to Mrs Giggs say she often boasted about her affair with the Trinidad and Tobago sportsman.
The newspaper also reports that the former estate agent hooked up with Simpson before he landed a place on the Man U first team and...

It’s 2086 and we earthlings are once again under threat by those outside forces who wish us mortals ill. The new threat comes from 'Extra Humans'. No that’s not overcrowding caused by over-population. I’m talking Humans with special powers and extra bits.
They live among us and are causing a ruckus. So who better to keep them in order but a small group of these enhanced cousins. The ‘government’ recruits key individuals and creates a special police department known as the Alpha Gods (whose very lax uniform code seems to have been designed by Ann Summers).
Betrayal is the latest series penned by Ian Sharman, who shamelessly collars catchphrases from a range of classic movies and stock sayings that link together more intriguing sections of dialogue. The story, whilst formulaic, has interesting flavours that are reminiscent of the heyday of post-modern comics and graphic novels such as Watchmen.

It’s nice that he’s trying to keep the spark in their relationship and all but Australian hunk John James Parton really should find out his girlfriend’s size Before he goes lingerie shopping!
John is currently dating Big Brother winner Josie Gibson, whom he met while starring on the Channel 4 reality TV show. The curvy blonde recently shed more than three stone and dropped two dress sizes, but even she admits that thinking of her as a skinny supermodel is stretching it.
Josie took to Twitter to reveal Jj’s faux pas today and wrote:
‘Is laughing my head off as John James went to get me some gifts at ann summers and told the shop assistant I was a size 8! Pmsl,’
He got the shop keeper to call me she asked what size I was because John has told me your a size 8. Pmsl bless him.

… Or Reasons For Why Natalie Portman Should Tread Carefully
Natalie Portman will finally be honoured as Best Actress for her undoubtedly brilliant performance in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan next month. In some ways it’s one of those ‘about time’ awards for a performer who exploded onto the scene with an Oscar worthy role as Matilda in Luc Besson’s classic hitman flick Leon, and went on to deliver great performances in Closer and V For Vendetta (despite a wobbly accent). But, then again, despite always knowing, thanks to that incredible feature debut, that Portman is an extremely talented actress she’s cropped up in a smattering of duds, none more so than her monotone portrayal of Queen Amidala in the woe-some Star Wars prequels. But, here we are, 2011 and after sixteen years in the business Portman is pretty much guaranteed that little gold statue on February 27th.

The movie Burlesque is a watered-down, weedy attempt to make stripping acceptable to women
In the film, Burlesque, Christina Aguilera plays a small-town girl with a dream. "I just wanna sing wearing slutty knickers!" Actually she doesn't say this, but she may as well have done.
The makers of Burlesque may have been trying for the ambience of Cabaret or Moulin Rouge, but the result is a daytime soap opera with a few crummy basques thrown in. Christina frugging like she's had too much Fanta at the school disco. Cher smouldering like a half-melted candle. More basques, pants, boas, leatherette, doffed sparkly bowler hats, and tapped canes. A queasy mix of Showgirls meets Seaside Special.
Shocking. But not in the way you'd think. Burlesque isn't a convention-defying movie about freedom, destiny, art; it is a boring movie about how nice your pants are.
The theme of "Cor, underwear!" was so...

Peter Andre will reportedly be named in the divorce of TV presenters Lee Clark and Pollyanna Woodward.
Lee, who fronts various shows on the Discovery Channel and QVC claims that the ‘Behind Closed Doors’ singer befriended his wife at a showbiz party and then ‘turned her head’ with a string of flirty and suggestive text messages.
The pair first met at a dinner hosted by Ok! magazine boss Richard Desmond in October, to celebrate buying Channel 5 which airs her gadget show Pollyanna.
Clark said that the pair never met up again to his knowledge but exchanged 100 messages on the day of his and Pollyanna’s first wedding anniversary. He admitted:
“One of the messages Peter sent my wife said, ‘I’m lying in my 8ft bed alone. Bored. Wish you were here.’ She replied, ‘I’m lying in my 6ft bed all alone too.’

Kieron Gaffney makes his return to the show with mum and dad in tow
Kieran Gaffney – the drummer boy from last year’s Britain’s Got Talent – returned tonight with a band. His parents and it looked like Mrs Gaffney stopped off at Ann Summers for her stage costume. Now called ‘Mixed Emotions’, the family trio completely lacked the magic of the kid drumming solo. The mum couldn’t sing, they kept stopping every time they were buzzed and it was a great day for music when this band split.
Simon Cowell blasted:
‘I’ve got to be honest, the act like this is utterly atrocious!’
Piers Morgan added:
‘I was really, really disappointed! You’re the talent not your mum, no disrespect to her.’
Luckily, after the sad sad music played in the background, Simon took pity on Kieran and allowed him to return for a solo audition. With...

13 year old drummer boy Kieron Gaffney makes his return to Britain’s Got Talent this Saturday night.
The teenager auditioned for last year’s series of the show and though he made it past the audition stage, the judges decided not to put him through to the live semi-finals.
This year Kieron decided not to brave the stage alone and brought his guitar playing dad and singing mum along for support. The family formed ‘Mixed Emotions’ and Amanda Holden was delighted to see Kieron back. She gushed:
“I have never got so many texts from people telling me off for not putting you through. You were unbelievable.”
The three piece group embarked on their rendition of the Motown hit, Do You Love Me, with Kieron’s mum dressed in what looked like Ann Summers’ best basque and stockings. The performance was terrible and led Simon Cowell to blast:

Lily Allen has been sent a selection of sex toys by pal Jaime Winstone. The "Smile" singer - who has been single since splitting from Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons in August - has reportedly been complaining about her quiet sex life, and Jaime thinks the vibrating gifts will help satisfy her urges.
A source at the Ann Summers Enchantment party in London's Baccarat Room on Monday night, told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Lily has enjoyed being single since splitting from Ed but she has been moaning about her sex life."
"So Jaime bought her a few vibrators - a Rampant Rabbit Thriller, a Vibro ring, a Joyrider and a Rosebud Stimulator."
