Nothing Personal
Oops, she's sorta modest!
Britney hates her nails, feet and sniffer; Sarah Jessica Parker slums it in the perfume aisle; Marley's sons stir it up with Florida police; and more!

Feb. 16, 2002  |  So much for Britney Spears' promise to keep her personal life out of the news. She does have a movie to promote, you know.

Turns out Spears' top isn't the only thing she insists she'd as soon keep under wraps if left to her own devices. She's got a whole roster of her own body parts she's not too fond of.

Such as?

"I don't like my fingernails, I don't like my feet, I don't like my nose ... and I don't like to go on!" she tells the London Mirror.

But there is one thing she doesn't mind.

"I DO like my lips," she says. "I like my lips because my boyfriend says he likes my lips."

The admiration, it seems, is mutual.

"We're just like magnets when we get together in a room," the pop princess says of beau Justin Timberlake. "He's a good kisser, too."

Sounds like they're right 'N Sync ...

And they're excited about the kid, too

"We are thrilled to bring a bundle of love into our family."

-- Jenny McCarthy, announcing that she and husband John Asher expect their first baby in June.

Sex and the shitty perfume?

Hope Matthew Broderick didn't take it upon himself to ply wife Sarah Jessica Parker with fancy bottles of expensive perfume for Valentine's Day.

The "Sex and the City" star's a bit of a cheap date when it comes to her taste in toilet water.

"One of my favorites is Bonne Bell Skin Musk -- it's around $10," Parker said when InStyle.com asked her to name her favorite scent. "I get it at Target, and I buy several bottles at a time."

Eau for Pete's sake! Throw in a few Bonne Bell Lip Smackers and you've got yourself a 13-year-old girl's cosmetic dream.

No envelope, please

"The nomination bit is the exciting bit; it's horrible when someone has to go and win it all."

-- Judi Dench, speaking from experience about her fourth Oscar nomination in five years -- for "Iris."
