Elizabeth Hurley, definitely one of my favorite UK bombshells, gets to be a bad girl playing none other than the devil in Fox's upcoming supernatural comedy Bedazzled. And from an interview with E! Online, she didn't have to do much preparation for the role. "There's nothing to research," Hurley told E!. "No one can say to you, 'I don't think the devil would sit like that or eat like that.' ... It's kind of liberating. For my inspiration, I used how [co-star] Brendan [Fraser] played Elliot. The more shy he got, the naughtier I got." Aww yeah, we all like that in a woman.

Bedazzled is a remake of the 1967 Dudley Moore/Peter Cook comedy of the same name, and Fraser plays a hapless loser who sells his soul to the devil to win the love of a woman. *Sigh* The things that women make men do...

"My theory is you have to walk with the devil a bit to be able to renounce him," Hurley said. "Otherwise, if you've never experienced a bad feeling, it's pretty hard to reject it. ... I get tempted every day--every day! Maybe envy is just under the surface at all times in most of us. It's very destructive. I think sins stop you from concentrating on yourself, and they take away the attention from one's own faults, so you can't improve and have a better life--you just obsess about someone else's."

Bedazzled opens in U.S. theatres Oct. 20.
