Kate Beckinsale doesn't have a problem with her ass, and she's quite happy to strip down and share that ass with the world.  Problem is, Warner Bros. prefers body doubles.

The Internets have been buzzing about a story that claimed that Kate demanded a body double for a nude scene in her upcoming drama, Whiteout, because she's ashamed of her bum. But Warner Bros., which is producing the film, is claiming that the rumors are false:

"The claims appearing on the Internet today that Kate Beckinsale requested a body double for filming Whiteout are absolutely untrue," the studio said. "As is standard practice on many movies, a body double was hired for several scenes by the production and not at the request of Kate Beckinsale."

Producer Susan Downey also chimed in: "Kate Beckinsale made no request for a body double for this production.'"

Oh, okay. So Kate would have been quite happy to forego the body double, but the producers insisted? Is that really better, PR-wise, than the story that Kate's insecure about her ass? I mean, I can totally sympathize with a woman - especially a mom- being insecure about her ass. The idea that body doubles are standard in the industry - presumably because the average actress's body might not be up to snuff? That bugs me. LOTS.
