Kate Beckinsale's nine-year-old daughter wants her to work with Marilyn Monroe.

The 35-year-old actress admits Lily, her child with ex-boyfriend Michael Sheen, would rather she teamed up with "retro" stars such as Marilyn and Joan Crawford instead of Hollywood heartthrobs including Ben Affleck and Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman used to go to gay clubs - to hit on drunk women. The 'X-Men' actor says he and his best friend used to frequent the nightspots as teenagers so they could prey on unsuspecting girls. He said: "I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I remember when I was about 19, me and my friend used to go to these dance parties which were 80 per cent gay guys, 18 per cent girls who were sick of heterosexual guys hitting on them, and then vultures like me and my mate. "We would go there until two in the morning, when the girls were really drunk and wishing they weren't with 80 percent gay guys.

Hugh Jackman says his wife and eight-year-old son couldn't believe it when he was named Sexiest Man Alive.

The "X-Men" star - who beat stars including Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Matt Damon to be given People magazine's annual honor - admits spouse Deborra Lee-Furness found it difficult to understand why he was chosen for the award.

Hugh Jackman wears his movie costumes while having sex. The "Australia" actor - who has two adopted children with wife Deborra-Lee Furness - often keeps his outfits from films including "X-Men," when he played the sexy mutant Wolverine, to impress in the bedroom.

Hugh - who has been named the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine - said: "It's easy with my wife. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she's having an affair in a good way."
