CELEBS FACTORY

Jessica Biel, The former 7th Heaven actress - who is engaged to long-term boyfriend Justin Timberlake - admits she had a wild side while she was growing up - although it used it madden her bosses.

She said: "I cut my hair super short and dyed it blonde. I had to apologise to Aaron Spelling (the producer) for doing that. He wasn't happy.

"When I turned 17 or 18, a really obnoxious friend sent a stripper to the set. I had to apologise for that too. The show was all about family values, and they took that position seriously. I was always apologising."

Having decided to pursue an acting career at the tender age of 11, Jessica, 30, admits that she had a tough three years of auditions before landing the role in the television series.

She told W magazine: "When I was 11, I was in a competition sponsored by the International Modeling and Talent Association. My runway look was a one-piece bathing suit, a top hat, and a bow tie. "The competition was in Los Angeles and afterward I got a manager and an agent. I tried out for a billion things, and after three years, I was cast on the show 7th Heaven.

"I wanted that part. I wanted any part. And that show was fun. I was a basketball player who was going through all the stuff that a 14-year-old goes through, which is, as you know, completely psychotic."

Jessica Biel is gorgeous, but she's not afraid to get down and dirty (and sweaty!) when it comes to filming action sequences for her movies. In fact, she "loves" it!

"I love action sequences and fights. It's so fun!" the 29-year-old beauty excitedly stated "You get trained to kick the $hit out of somebody.

"It is amazing, because you never would ever do that to somebody in real life. Never," Jessica, who appeared for the promotion event of her upcoming "Total Recall" reboot, explained. "It's been so fun. I really enjoy that kind of physicality. It's different for a woman to be able to do that kind of thing."

The annual convention draws thousands of fans who wait for hours - sometimes days--for the opportunity to geek out over their favorite stars. So we just had to ask, what does Jessica "geek out" over?

"I geek out about food. I am a complete food geek," she said "Burgers. I'm on a bit of a burger. I've been making a lot of fudge. I'm a chocolate freak!

"I'm also a snowboarding freak... where's the snow?" she continued. "I'm following the snow around the country. That kind of stuff I geek out about."

The former "The A-Team" star is an avid outdoor enthusiast who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro (Africa's tallest peak) in January 2010 for charity - and Jessica revealed she has yet another climbing goal on her to-do list.

"I'd like to make it to the base camp of Everest," she told Scott. "I'm not skilled as an ice climber - I haven't really done any of that. So, to get to the base camp would be really great."

The beautiful brunette was quick to downplay the impressiveness of her athletic feats and encourage others to push themselves.

"Anybody can do it," she said emphatically. "It's so mental. You just have to have the drive and your brain in the right space."
