CLAIRE DANES AND HER CAT WEE-WEE NIGHTMARE

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- There's a reason actresses Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale look disgusted in the new movie "Brokedown Palace:" they had to kneel in cat pee. Beckinsale tells entertainment reporter Baird Jones that when she filmed the movie's prison sequences, she spent hours kneeling in a pile of urine-soaked gravel. It seems the scenes were shot on location in Manila at an abandoned jail used by local felines as one big catbox. To make matters worse, Beckinsale says the director asked the women to do extra takes -- even though the cat pee stench almost made her faint. "Brokedown Palace" opens in theaters on Friday (Aug. 13).
