Admin globalnavel You're a very hard person to please. 😂 I thought it was interesting that Reese Witherspoon did not bare her belly in the belly dance scene too. I am curious as to why? Maybe she refused doing so or maybe she wanted more money? Who knows. I am just speculating. However for me, it's about compiling this list where an author added or "scripted" such scenes in their films and TV shows, regardless of whether or not bellies were bared.
