LeAnn Rimes lost 'wholesome child' image to portray 'women selling sex' in 'Coyote Ugly' video
LeAnn Rimes signed her first record contract when she was 13 years old and won two Grammys the following year for her first album, "Blue." Rimes was riding high on a wave of success, and was only 17 when she appeared in the 2000 film "Coyote Ugly." She told The Guardian she was constantly working in the studio and had performed in "500 shows in three and a half years." Her cameo in the female-driven flick, which included her hit "Can't Fight the Moonlight," marked a major turning point for Rimes as she admitted she had never even "danced on top" of a bar and had to do "a lot of pretending to play the part of a woman with confidence." "The video for this song became a kind of introduction to my sexuality, something I could own myself," Rimes said. "The film was multilayered, but it was centered on women selling sex, whereas for most of my career my identity had been the opposite — it was about everyone around me preserving me as this wholesome child.  "'Coyote Ugly' was my step out of that innocence." Rimes recalled, "On the day of the shoot, the costume department handed me these chicken fillets to wear, and I said, ‘What am I supposed to do with these?’ They had to explain: ‘You’re meant to put them in your shirt, they make your boobs bigger.’  "It was a bit of a shock at first, but it became an introduction to a different side of myself that I wanted to explore." The "How Do I Live" singer said it "used to be hard" for her to look back on past photos without cringing.  Rimes danced on top of a bar alongside "Coyote Ugly" star Piper Perabo in the music video.  "I was coming into my own in the media spotlight, which is very awkward in many ways," she said.

'Yellowjackets' star Melanie Lynskey opens up about being body shamed during 'Coyote Ugly' movie
Melanie Lynskey joined her fellow "Yellowjackets" co-stars for a new interview where the actress discussed the body shaming she experienced early in her career while filming "Coyote Ugly."  Lynskey played Gloria in the 2000 comedy about a songwriter Violet Sanford (played by Piper Perabo) who gets a job at an NYC bar run by women.  Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci were the others participating in the interview with The Hollywood Reporter where Lynskey discussed her experience filming "Coyote Ugly."  When describing the beginning of her career playing the "best friend from Jersey" in "Ugly Coyote" she told the outlet. "I was already starving myself and as thin as I could possibly be for this body, and I was still a (size) four."  Lynskey continued and said "that were already people putting a lot of Spanx on me in wardrobe fittings and being very disappointed when they saw me, the costume designer being like, ‘Nobody told me there would be girls like you.’ Really intense feedback about my physicality, my body, people doing my makeup and being like, ‘I’m just going to help you out by giving you a bit more of a jawline and stuff." "Yellowjackets" star Melanie Lynskey opened up about the body shaming she faced while filming "Coyote Ugly."  ( David Livingston/Getty Images) Lynskey said that while she was working on the film, the feedback was constantly "you're not beautiful." She talked about the difficulty of hearing the things she did when she was in her early twenties.
