The 41-year-old actress - who has dated Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake in the past - believes it's ''natural'' to appreciate the ''beauty'' of other ladies and to feel some form of sexual desire towards them from time to time.
She said: ''I think women are beautiful - absolutely beautiful.
''And I think that all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point. It's natural to have a connectivity and an appreciation for the beauty of other women.''
Meanwhile, the American actress admits she prefers dating British men because of their hilarious sense of humour, but she can be instantly turned off someone if they're ignorant and douse themselves in too much cologne.
When asked what her biggest turn-off is, she told the May issue of Glamour magazine: ''Being rude. I don't have any patience with that. Oh, and too much cologne - that's something I can't do.
''Hygiene's not a bad thing, either, so that's quite high on the list. But basically I love a sense of humour because that's what tells you how smart a man is.
''I love British humour and British men.'

The judge did not specify the exact charges of which they were convicted.

Simbiatu, a trader, who lives with her husband at 3, Olaleye St., Orile Agege, told the court that the 45-year-old marriage had witnessed ups and downs. “The main reason my husband wants to leave me is because I refused to satisfy his demands for sex. “I have lost the urge for sex. My thinking is not towards that direction again; but my husband still wants sex. “I have told him to get another wife,’’ she said. The mother of four children, aged between 18 years and 25 years, told the court that she supported her husband’s request for dissolution of the marriage.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are going their separate ways after 11 years of marriage.
“It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate,” the 41-year-old actress and the 37-year-old singer wrote on her website.
The couple added, “We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.”
Gwyneth and Chris tied the knot in December 2003 and that they have two children – Apple,9, and Moses, 7.
Pharrell Williams leaves his famous hat at home on the cover of GQ magazine’s April 2014 issue.
Here’s what the 40-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:
On his Oscars snub: “Well, trust me: when they read the results, my face was…frozen. But then I thought about it, and I just decided just to…let it go.”
On Hillary Clinton being the next president of the US: “Let me tell you why Hillary’s going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there’s unity. There’s gonna be unity. So when you think about a night where there’s late-night talk-show hosts and it’s mostly women, that’s a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that’s a different world. That’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen when Hillary wins. Because you know what? No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: you’re a woman, and there’s no way in the world you’re going to vote for somebody that’s going to try to tell you what to do with your body. Hillary’s gonna win. Listen, I’m reaching out to her right now. She’s gonna win.”
On his hat: “Anything different, people are going to look at and go, ‘Ha ha ha ha, what is that??’ Then, after a while, they do a little bit of research; they realize it’s Vivienne Westwood, an ode to her boyfriend at the time; they had a store together called World’s End. The guy who went on to sign the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren.”
The BBC's Celia Hatton: "We're witnessing a very rare street protest in Beijing"
Angry relatives of passengers on board the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have clashed with police outside Malaysia's embassy in the Chinese capital, Beijing.
It came after Malaysian PM Najib Razak said a new analysis of satellite data showed the plane had ended its journey in remote seas south-west of Australia.
China has asked to see the data on which Malaysia's conclusion was based.
The search for missing flight MH370 has been suspended because of bad weather.
A multinational search effort has focused on seas some 2,500km (1,500 miles) to the south-west of the Australian city of Perth.
Flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It was carrying a total of 239 people, including 153 Chinese nationals.
In Beijing, relatives of passengers on board the plane released a statement accusing the Malaysian government of trying to "delay, distort and hide the truth".
Dozens of them then left their Beijing hotel on a protest bound for the Malaysian embassy, carrying banners asking Kuala Lumpur to be truthful with the relatives.
Police stopped their buses from leaving, so they left the buses and walked there themselves, with scuffles then erupting outside the diplomatic mission.
The protesters threw water bottles at the embassy and tried to storm the building, demanding to meet the ambassador.
There was a heavy police presence at the embassy, and there was a brief scuffle between police and a group of relatives who tried to approach journalists, according to the Associated Press news agency.
The families also appear to be becoming more critical of the Chinese authorities themselves, the BBC's Celia Hatton reports from Beijing.
While some defended the authorities, other relatives shouted slogans denouncing the Chinese government as "corrupt", she reports.
Final signal
The protest in Beijing came a day after the Malaysian leader said it had to be concluded "with deep sadness and regret" that according to new data "flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean".
Mr Najib said the conclusion the plane was lost was based on new satellite analysis by British firm Inmarsat and information from the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
But Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng issued a statement saying: "We demand the Malaysian side state the detailed evidence that leads them to this judgement, as well as supply all the relevant information and evidence about the satellite data analysis.
"The search and rescue work cannot stop now. We demand the Malaysian side continue to finish all the work including search and rescue."
Acting Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has revealed that the latest analysis of satellite data included a final electronic signal that was still being investigated.
"There is evidence of a partial handshake between the aircraft and ground station at 0019 UTC (GMT)," he told a news conference on Tuesday. "At this time, this transmission is not understood and is subject to further ongoing work."
He said that as a result of the latest analysis, the area of search operations had been narrowed from 2.24m sq nautical miles to 469,407 sq nautical miles, and an international working group had now been convened to try to further narrow the search area.
Operations in the "northern corridor" - one of two large areas where the plane might have ended its journey - had been completely called off to concentrate on the southern part of the "southern corridor" in the Indian Ocean west of Perth, he added.

A 40 year old Nigerian Chris Chidi Dinneya has been jailed for three and a half years for duping an 81 year old pensioner from Cambridge of £300,000 out of his life savings.

We thought Katy Perry kissed a girl and she “liked it”? However, it seems the “Dark Horse” singer is going back on her words after a lip-lock with Miley Cyrus.
Miley planted a kiss on Katy during a concert recently, and Katy seemed to be OK with it at the time. However, in an interview Down Under, the 29-year-old threw a little shade at the “Adore You” singer and her famous tongue.
“I just walked up to her to give her like a friendly girly kiss, you know, as girls do, and then she like tried to move her head and go deeper and I pulled away. God knows where that tongue has been. We don’t know! That tongue is so infamous!” Katy said.

“Girl if ur worried abt where tongues have been good thing ur ex boo is ur EX BOO cause we ALL know where THAT [tongue] been,” Miley Tweeted on Thursday. (No word on if she was referring to Katy’s ex-husband Russell Brand, or recent ex-boyfriend John Mayer.)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Is this the year the "selfie" stole the Oscars?
A self-portrait of host Ellen DeGeneres and stars including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper taken during Hollywood's annual Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday quickly became the most shared photo ever on Twitter.
"We got an email from Twitter and we crashed and broke Twitter. We have made history," DeGeneres said shortly after access to the social media site was disrupted due to sharing of her star-studded picture.
Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and new Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, also crowded into the picture, which was snapped by Cooper after DeGeneres mingled with stars seated in the audience.
"I've never tweeted before!" Streep, a three-time Oscar winner, gushed after Cooper snapped the photo with a mobile device.
DeGeneres shared the selfie via her Twitter feed https://twitter.com/TheEllenShow/status/440322224407314432/photo/1.
It was shared, or retweeted, more than 2 million times in some two hours during the broadcast of the 86th annual Academy Awards.
The photo surpassed the record set by U.S. President Barack Obama's "Four More Years" re-election victory shot. The picture of Obama hugging first lady Michelle Obama on election night in 2012 has been retweeted more than 780,000 times.
Other widely shared photos from Sunday's Oscars included a DeGeneres selfie with Liza Minnelli, taken after the host made a biting comment about the appearance of the veteran actress and Broadway star.
A separate photo taken by a member of the audience showed Minnelli trying to get into DeGeneres' now famous Oscar selfie.
