They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but for Liz Hurley she'll take shotguns over sparkle any day. Go figure.

Liz recently said she turned down jewelry in favor of a pair of shotguns for her birthday.

The actress-and-fashion designer rarely graces a red carpet unless she is dripping in expensive jewels, however, when she turned 41 in June she had an unusual present request.

She told Ultra magazine, "For my last birthday I was offered jewelry or shotguns. I chose the guns."

Liz was reportedly given a pair of Spanish 12 bores.

Meanwhile, Liz has been accused of exhibiting more unladylike behavior at Elton John's wedding.

"The O.C." actress Samaire Armstrong - who is friends with Elton's "husband" David Furnish - was also at the ceremony and says she caught Liz leaving the bathroom without washing her hands.

She revealed, "It was an amazing party. I sat beside Prince Andrew and Fergie. Sharon, Jack, Kelly and Ozzy Osbourne were there and so were Sting and Liz Hurley - who didn't wash her hands when she left the toilet!"

That is a little confusing. What will she do with the shotguns? Does she have an urge to go hunting, or does she feel the need for more protection.
