Global 2012: Leslie Mann and Megan Fox go chest-to-chest in ‘This is 40′

It takes a strong marriage to pull off the intimate scene in “This is 40” between actress Megan Fox and Leslie Mann, written and directed by Mann’s husband and collaborator Judd Apatow. Or maybe it’s just the stuff of married men’s fantasies: Wife, mother and boutique owner Debbie (Mann) catches her best saleswoman Desi (Fox) in a lacy hot pink push-up bra and launches into an awkward discussion about the younger woman’s perky breasts. “Are those real?” Debbie asks, to which Desi replies matter-of-factly: “Yeah, I’m just young.” Talk leads to touch – and then more girl-on-girl touch. Well, the “Knocked Up” director never backed away from a sexual sight gag.

“We saw Megan on ‘Saturday Night Live,’” Apatow told Yahoo! Movies, “and we thought, “Oh, this girl’s wickedly hilarious, and she probably won’t get a lot of these opportunities. So, let’s give it to her, and show everyone how funny she is.”

OK, that was a safe answer from Judd, who wrote the scene. Again: standing behind the camera while your wife touches the breast of one of the sexiest women in Hollywood sounds like something even voyeuristic Alfred Hitchcock wouldn’t have attempted. According to Apatow, “I get so uncomfortable with even partial nudity in movies. I’ll do one or two takes, and feel weird. Megan is a beautiful woman, but she literally changes the temperature of a room when she walks in.”

“Megan just has great boobs,” Mann confessed to Yahoo! Movies. “Better boobs than I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“I feel very protective of younger actresses because it was so hard for me in the business," said Mann, 40, about her 26-year-old co-star, Fox. And she had other feelings, too. “I wanted to get it over [with] as quickly as possible, because I knew it was uncomfortable for her, probably -- or maybe not. But just in that situation I knew there were a lot of dirty boys around having weird, gross fantasies. And so I wanted to get her shirt back on as quickly as possible.”

Global 2012: Would you forgive a cheater?

Kristen Stewart at Hollywood Life Magazine’s 7th Annual Breakthrough Awards English actor Robert Pattinson at the Twilight premiere. November 2008 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)For the past couple of days, fans of Twilight stars 22-year-old Kristen Stewart and 26-year-old Robert Pattinson were shocked by Stewart's revelation that she had cheated on Pattinson. Reports reveal that Stewart had a fling with 41-year-old director Rupert Sanders, who was her director in Snow White and the Huntsman. Sanders is married to a 33-year-old model named Liberty Ross and they have two children, a seven-year-old daughter and a five-year-old son. Both Stewart and Sanders issued public apologies for their fling. The "cheating scandal" taints the idyllic notions of fans who have been rooting for the Stewart-Pattinson match since the two were paired up in the first installment of the Twilight franchise.

In a People article written by Alison Schwartz and Julie Jordan, Stewart said, "I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry."

Some reports allege that Stewart and Sanders had no other choice but to come clean when, on July 24, Us magazine released some exclusive photos of Stewart and Sanders' engaging in a "makeout session." According to the article, "Kristen Stewart's Cheating Scandal: A Timeline of Events" written by Us writer Nicole Eggenberger, it seemed as if Stewart and sanders "couldn't get enough" of each other.

Pattinson was devastated by Stewart's infidelity. Reports say he has left the home he shared with Stewart and has gone into temporary seclusion. Despite what has happened, there are still those who believe that Pattinson will forgive Stewart and their relationship will recover from her fling.

The Pattinson-Stewart-Sanders scenario doesn't just happen in Hollywood. It happens to everyone else, too. In fact, the Yahoo! Philippines SHE staff got hold of three men who have been cheated on by their wives. The three men also have one thing in common. They all forgave their wives' infidelity and took them back.

Francis (not his real name), 38, a doctor, says he forgave his wife because he still loved her despite her mistakes. "Even if she had an affair, I still didn't stop loving her. Of course, when I took her back, I told her I'd leave if it happened again. Once is more than enough. It was a good thing that we didn't have kids yet when it happened," he related.

For his part, Jeff (not his real name), a 29-year-old ad executive, chose to take back his wife because he knew she was sorry for what she had done. "I appreciated the fact that she was the one who came clean about what happened. It took some time for me to trust her again. But it's been three years since her affair and we're okay now," he said.

Brian (not his real name), 35, an architect, said that he and his wife split up briefly and then got back together only after they went through marriage counseling. "There were some issues that she had that she had to deal with first before we decided to get back together," he explained. "When we were back together, the two of us put in more effort to communicate and nurture our relationship. Other than that, it's all still a gamble. I guess I still had enough love for her to forgive her for it."
