    Allison Williams finds sex scenes "awkward"

    The 28-year-old actress is no stranger to stripping her clothes off and getting intimate in front of the cameras for her role as Marnie Michaels on the HBO comedy 'Girls', and says despite being nervous about filming the racy shots, she believes they are "important" to the story and provide moments of "character discovery".


    She said: "I actually had more sex scenes than any of the other girls. Of course, they're awkward - but the reason that they never loom in my calendar is because a) I have too many of them to fear them and b) they are hugely revealing about my character and important for the series thematically.

    "'Girls' isn't exploitative. It put into fashion the idea that a sex scene can also be a moment of character discovery."

    And the brunette beauty - who is married to entrepreneur Ricky Van Veen - praised Lena Dunham's show for giving audiences a "realistic depiction of sex".

    She added: "You see our bodies in all of these weird positions and how different we are. Nobody is lit flatteringly. All of the sex scenes that I grew up watching were romantic and candlelit with music in the background. While filming for 'Girls', I've hit my nose on people; I've been bruised afterwards; my nipple cover ended up on Alex Karpovsky once. It's a more realistic depiction of sex, and I actually think it's more interesting."

    Meanwhile, Allison has insisted that the characters in 'Girls' - which began airing its final season on Monday (13.02.17) - will "continue to live" once the show has ended, but fans will have a "pretty good idea" of what happens to each character.

    She told Vogue magazine: "Lena [Dunham, the show's creator]'s goal was for people to not feel as if the characters' lives ended with the series. The idea that they continue to live in some ether somewhere is key.

    "We were never going to answer all of the questions because that's not 'Girls' - but for someone who's been watching all along, it will feel like you stopped talking to one of your friends at 27, but you have a pretty good idea of where they will end up."

    Elle King was "accidentally high" at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (12.02.17)

    The 27-year-old singer was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her appearance on Dierks Bentley's track 'Different for Girls', and has admitted that after eating a number of "pot muffins" before taking to the red carpet at the glitzy ceremony in Los Angeles she found herself to be "really stoned".

    Posting a picture of herself from the red carpet on Instagram on Tuesday (14.02.17), the 'Ex's and Oh's' hitmaker said: "Note to self, don't eat a bunch of pot muffins before the Grammys red carpet. #AccidentallyHighAF (sic)"

    The 'America's Sweetheart' singer also posted a video clip of one interview she gave in which she claimed break-ups are different between girls and boys because "Boys have never had a period".

    The caption on the video read: "This is what happens when you're accidentally rly stoned at the Grammys. You see something shiny, forget that you're on camera, then forget the question, then remember no one should ever let me be interviewed. #SorryMom #StonedAtTheGrammys (sic)"

    And the quirky blonde - who wore a stunning floor length flower dress complete with a flower crown head dress - also seemed to regret her fashion choices at the event as she likened her look to a "snapchat filter".

    She captioned another photo: "Sometimes when you're accidentally high af from pot muffins, you don't realize you're A F***ING SNAPCHAT FILTER until after the Grammys and people tell you. (sic)"

    Meanwhile, on the night of the Grammys, Elle took to the photo sharing website to dub her dress as her "dream gown" and thanked 41-year-old Dierks for being her friend.

    She wrote: "Dream gown thanks to @teutamatoshiduriqi and crown by @lirika.matoshi even though we didn't bring the home the gold, every day is a win because @dierksbentley is my friend. Love you old boy (sic)"
