"Kate Beckinsale has claimed that she still finds it hard to consider herself a celebrity. The actress argued that she spent more time in her kitchen than on red carpets and said she couldn&amp;#039;t understand the paparazzi&amp;#039;s obsession with following her. She told Los Angeles Confidential: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m in complete denial about being a celebrity.  &amp;quot;I spend 80% of my time in my kitchen and occasionally I&amp;#039;m wheeled out to pretend to be Kate Beckinsale for awards shows.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not at nightclubs every night but I&amp;#039;ll take my kid hiking and several paparazzi will show up and it&amp;#039;s like, &amp;#039;What? I&amp;#039;m not shaving my head in public. You need to leave me alone&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; The Van Helsing star also revealed that she would be willing to look ugly in a movie, as long as the role was a good one. She commented: &amp;quot;Not necessarily for an Oscar, [but] I would for a great part. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think you can ever guarantee an Oscar nod. I think if you were doing it for that and you gained 300 pounds and you didn&amp;#039;t get nominated, you&amp;#039;d be miserable, but if you really love the material it&amp;#039;s worth it.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Kate Beckinsale praises her genitals "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
