In a recent interview with the UK's Radio Times, the Pirates hottie openly credits her good genes and Photoshop for all the fabulous pictures of her gracing magazine covers.

"OK, I'm on the cover of a magazine," she says, "but somebody else does the hair, and the makeup, and airbrushes the fuck out of me – it's not me, it's something other people have created."

She also downplays the value of fame.

"It frightens me when kids go, 'I want to be famous,' " she says. "Why? Because you can get into a restaurant? You know what? If you book [a table], you can get into a restaurant! 'I want to be rich and famous.' Go and work on the stock market."

She commented on her recent lawsuit against a tabloid after it accused the super-skinny starlet of having an eating disorder.

"You couldn't say anything more horrendous. So yes, I did take a hard line, and I would take that line again."
