Tara Reid accepted the leading role in 'Sharknado' as a joke.
The 38-year-old actress stars alongside former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actor Ian Ziering in the film, which sees a freak hurricane swamp Los Angeles with hundreds of deadly sharks terrorising its residents, and admits she never expected the made-for-TV movie to be so successful.
She said: "I'm just as stunned as everyone else. Come on, I did it as a joke! I didn't even think anyone was going to see it.
"And then what happened has never happened before on any movie. Even now, you thought the buzz was going to stop about 'Sharknado', but it just keeps going."
Following on from its success, Asylum Films - who also made 'Snakes on a Plane' - are now working on a sequel which will also star Tara Reid and she says it will be even more "ridiculous" than the first instalment.
Speaking to HLNtv, she said: "In the scene in the first film, where I ended up in the stomach of the shark, which was so ridiculous that you think, 'How are you going to top that?' Well, we're actually pretty close to topping it."
"I can't tell too much. I'm not allowed to, to be honest with you. But you can definitely expect it to be as entertaining - if not more, believe it or not - as the first one."
The 'American Pie' star was spotted filming scenes for 'Sharknado 2: The Second One' in New York last week and the movie is set to be released in select cinemas in July.
Chantel Jeffries has broken her silence about her relationship with Justin Bieber.
The 21-year-old model has spoken for the first time since the 'All That Matters' singer's DUI arrest in Miami on January 23, and was quick to shut down rumours they are dating after she was spotted on numerous outings with the star including a romantic getaway to Panama.
During the brief interview with E! News host Terrence J, Chantel insisted: "I didn't date Justin."
The blonde beauty - who strikes an uncanny resemblance to Kim Kardashian - addressed accusations she is a gold-digger who befriended the 19-year-old singer for his fame and wealth.
She laughed: "Oh my gosh. If anything, you could say I'm a 'goal' digger. I have my own goals and I'm focused on those."
And despite claims no one in Justin' entourage is willing to say no to him, she insisted that wasn't the case, but then claimed it wasn't her "place" to comment on his antics.
Chantel added: "That's not true... I'm not around all the time. In the past, I don't know what's happened with him, and it's not my place to say anything.
Kylie Jenner was "obsessed" with her sister Kendall when they were younger.
The 16-year-old reality TV star used to follow her older sibling "everywhere" and the pair - who are the daughters of Kris and Bruce Jenner - were so close they even used to dress identically.
Speaking to Mexico's Marie Claire magazine, Kendall, 18, said: "She was obsessed with me. She followed me everywhere."
Kylie added: "If she got up in the middle of the night, I got up of the middle of the night. I literally couldn't leave her side. We even matched everything we wore."
Kendall - who made her debut at New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week recently - admitted she has always wanted to be a model.
She said: "Even as a kid, I remember always looking at my mom's magazines, I would look up to them and I thought they were so beautiful and they seemed very elegant and cool.
"It's just something I really wanted to be."
Kylie is planning to pursue a career in fashion design but also wants to try her hand at acting.
She said: "Right now I love designing and I want to pursue that career once I turn 18. But acting is something I would regret not giving a chance when I'm older, so I would love to try it and see if I like it."
