Catherine Zeta-Jones is disappointed she finds it impossible to master the art of boiling an egg.

The Welsh actress plays a chef in new restaurant-based romantic comedy No Reservations, but insists she's not much use in the kitchen in real life.

She says, "You know, I still can't boil an egg. I never get it runny enough if I want it runny, and I never get it hard-boiled enough before it explodes.

"But I can make you (Italian dessert) tiramisu anytime you want. Cheese on toast is always good too."

Jennifer Lopez was surprised by Victoria Beckham's honesty when the pair met for the first time, because the Spice Girl openly admitted to being insecure and wanted to know if she was too.

Lopez was amazed by how "sweet" Beckham came across, and admitted to having moments of self-doubt too.

She tells American publication Glamour, "Victoria said, 'People would never guess you're insecure. Are you? Because I know I am.' It was like she had to hear it from me.

"And I said, 'Yeah, of course I am.' She said, 'But you seem so confident.' And I said, 'Because I am confident! It doesn't mean I don't have my moments.

But you have to remember the value of your individuality - that you have something special and different to offer that nobody else can.' She said, 'Oh, I love hearing this. What you're saying is so great!' It was really sweet".

Lopez isn't the only celebrity to admit to feeling insecure - actress Catherine Zeta-Jones recently confessed to finding it difficult being herself in front of strangers, because she lacks self-confidence.
