she is suffering from brittle bone disease, osteoporosis.
The 'Cold Mountain' star said that there is no truth at
all in the claims that she had recently taken a bone density
test. "I'm supposed to have it because of my weight and
apparently I'm having tests in hospital, but I laughed because
no-one told me. I haven't had tests for anything. I haven't
had tests for anything," the Daily Mail quoted Nicole as
saying. The stunning actress also went on to say that she
has not lost any weight, despite recent pictures of her
looking very skinny. "I've always been thin. Yet the same
story keeps getting more and more absurd. It's amusing that,
with everything else that's going on in the world, people
are concerned about my weight. But guess what? I've always
been like this - ever since I studied ballet as a girl,"

Shape
of pubic hair shapes women's personality (Go

London:
A Japanese professor has claimed that the shape of women's
pubic hair determines their personalities! Professor Asaki
Geino who has published a thesis on his theory also credits
the shape of Japanese women's pubic hair, as being responsible
for his country's success in the world arena. His thesis
classifies women into five types, with most Japanese women
having pubic hair like an 'inverted triangle'. "This type
is characterised by faithfulness and fitness for family
life. Women of this type are good mothers, faithful wives
and caring daughters," Pravda quoted Geino as saying. "I
don't think I'm wrong when I say that precisely this type
of woman helped Japan become the glorious country it is,"
he added. Geino went on to say that women with pubic hair
similar to the 'mouth of a river' are most likely to be
unfaithful. "Usually female pubic hair grows in the form
of an upside down triangle, but some women's is oblong or
elliptical in shape," the report quoted Geino as saying.
"It's not that rare for women with oblong-shaped pubic hair
to fall in love at first sight or fall head-over-heels with
passion. They also don't like sitting at home on their own,"
added the Jap professor.
