Promoting her new romantic comedy Materialists, Dakota admitted: 'I don't have to psych myself up for sex scenes. I'm always psyched up for sex! '
Dakota also opened up about her relationship with mother Melanie, 67 — who starred in 1988 hit Working Girl — on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast.
Dakota, whose father is Miami Vice star Don Johnson, 75, said: 'My mom raised me to be really, really proud of my body and love my body.
'So I've always felt so grateful for that, especially in my work because I can use it and it feels real.
'I think it was the way she spoke about it with me. She also talked to me about sex and how precious and important it is.'
Dakota added: 'She's a generous person. She's extremely generous. If you said to her, 'I love your shirt', she'd take it off. Mostly because she loves to be naked and has great t*ts.'
The end of Dakota and 48-year-old fiancé Chris's eight-year romance was confirmed earlier this month.
A source said: 'She wanted her relationship to work and is finding it hard.
'Dakota not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful.'

EXCLUSIVE Singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee talks shock Taylor Swift link and why writing with Katy Perry was 'difficult'
Even if you're not familiar with Bonnie McKee's name, you most certainly know her body of work - the famed songwriter was behind some of the most massive hits of the aughts, including Roar, California Gurls, and Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, Hold It Against Me by Britney Spears, and Dynamite by Taio Cruz. The Grammy-nominated artist is considered the 'founding mother of recession pop,' for her work with stars like Ke$ha, Cher, Christina Aguilera, and more. Bonnie stopped by the Daily Mail office while she was in town for the Tribeca Film Festival. Her music video for Hot City song Forever 21, which she directed, starred in, edited, produced, and cast, is an official selection this year. The Los Angeles based singer unexpectedly blew up on TikTok during the pandemic when she started talking about her songwriting process on the platform. She writes in 'an old school notebook' and kept 'relics from the past,' which she was able to share with fans. When she started a session, she would ask pop stars about their love life, who they were dating, and what kept them up at night. She'd then take notes as they were talking and found that usually had a track that she'd already started that would fit with the vibe. When it came to co-writing with artists like Kesha and Katy, Bonnie called it 'a truly collaborative effort.' As for writing with Katy on some of her most iconic songs, Bonnie admitted it was 'sometimes very difficult' because 'we have a really high standard, and we wanted to make the best pop music ever,' admitting, 'on some of them, I feel like we did.' Kesha had a 'clear aesthetic' which made it 'very easy to write with her because she comes in with great ideas.' Bonnie originally made her album Hot City a decade ago when she was signed to Epic Records. 'I got dropped and it got shelved and they owned the masters,' Bonnie explained. 'So I pulled a Taylor Swift and I ended up rerecording all of the masters myself.' When she found fame on TikTok, she quickly realized that many of her fans were obsessed with Hot City and were clamoring for the songs to come out. In fact, some even had the lyrics tattooed on them. She decided to dive into the vault and bring recession pop back to life. Bonnie, often called Hollywood's secret weapon, believes a truly great recession pop song needs 'an element of escapism and an element of hope and has to be upbeat, danceable or at least uplifting in some way.' And 'it has a has to have a little bit of heart because we all are living in a very real time and people are looking for something to connect to.' The best example of this from her repertoire just might be Dynamite, which 'on the surface sounds just like a party time song, but is actually about surrender.' The American Girl singer is now 13 years sober after struggling with a crystal meth addiction, but at the time, she wrote it about considering sobriety and 'surrendering to the new life' that she was embarking upon. Of course, the song and its catchy chorus quickly became inescapable, with even Lorde poking fun at it with her lyrics on Team: 'I'm kinda over gettin' told to throw my hands up in the air.' Bonnie called Lorde's infamous reaction 'totally fair, but explained, 'when I wrote that it was coming from a different place.' Bonnie has seen the music industry evolve since she wrote her first record at just 14, and not all of the changes have been positive. She described the royalties songwriters now receive as 'nothing' and 'insignificant.' 'On the streaming platforms, we get 0.0003 percent of a penny per stream,' Bonnie revealed, adding that 'it's not a livable wage for songwriters and that really needs to change.' 'It used to be if you were a middle class songwriter and you got a B-side on a Rihanna album, or even a smaller artist than that, you could buy a house. But these days that is not the case,' Bonnie explained. Now, as an indie artist, she's paying for everything herself and imagines a day where she can work with investors instead of 'record labels that are going to steal your soul.' It comes at a time where other independent artists like Kate Nash and Tyson Ritter from the All American Rejects are having similar conversations, and have even started OnlyFans accounts to make money to support their music after no longer working with major labels. Next up, Bonnie is working on a full-length album that's darker than ever before - but it's still full of the pop songs that made her famous. 'It's definitely my most brutally raw and honest lyrically but it's still bops. They're just a little darker but still danceable. I don't think I've ever been as vulnerable as I am in these songs and I think it can be cathartic for people,' Bonnie promised.

Arnold Schwarzenegger confesses if his son Patrick outlives him he'd be 'in heaven' as he gushes over White Lotus star's success
Arnold Schwarzenegger has confessed that if his son Patrick outlives him he'd be 'in heaven'. The Terminator star, 77, has had an illustrious career from bodybuilding to the big screen, but his son Patrick has recently exploded onto the acting scene. Patrick, 31, had his breakout role as Saxon Ratliff in the third season of White Lotus and his dad Arnold couldn't be prouder. In fact, speaking to The Sunday Times, Arnold said the tables have turned and now instead of Patrick being asked about him in interviews, the former governor of California now has people coming up to him to talk about his son. As he gushed over Patrick's success, Arnold added: 'If I go to my grave and know that my son has outdone me, I'm in heaven.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He said: 'I was just in New York and a journalist comes up and says, "What's it like being the father of Patrick Schwarzenegger?" 'All of a sudden, everything has changed around, I walk into the gym now and it used to be the girls would come up and give me their contact - and then after White Lotus comes out, the girl comes up and says, "Here's my contact, give it to Patrick."' It comes after Arnold gave a shoutout to ex-wife Maria Shriver when he cracked a joke at Amazon's Upfront presentation in New York City last month. The actor, who typically plays some kind of strongman, is softening his image in the upcoming holiday film The Man With The Bag, which he spent part of the winter filming in the Big Apple. Arnold will star as none other than Santa Claus in the comedy co-starring Awkwafina and Alan Ritchson. In the plot, Kris Kringle loses his magic bag and has to turn to Vance, a guy on the Naughty List (Ritchson) to help get it back. While speaking about the project the holiday veteran made reference to another one of his hit films and appeared to take a playful jab at Maria, 69. 'Jingle All The Way was the greatest Christmas movie of all time,' the Emmy winner declared unabashedly. 'They play it the whole month of December,' he said, adding , 'I know because my ex-wife calls me about the residual.' It was the first time he had made a comment about the former NBC journalist in about two years. The couple, who had what appeared to be a Hollywood fairytale romance were married for 25 years before their relationship crumbled under the news of Arnold's unfaithfulness. Maria filed to divorce in 2011 after The Expendables actor admitted to fathering a child, Joseph Baena, 27, with the family housekeeper. The former couple, who finalised their split in 2021, share four children, Katherine, 35, Christina, 33, Patrick, 31, and Christopher, 37. In her memoir, I Am Maria, which was released in April, Maria wrote about her pain at the breakdown of her marriage. 'It broke my heart, it broke my spirit, it broke what was left of me. Without my marriage, my parents, a job—the dam of my lifelong capital-D Denial just blew apart.' The result of those feelings, was her first work of poetry. Arnold gave a shoutout to ex-wife Maria Shriver and had a jolly little laugh when he cracked a joke at Amazon's Upfront presentation of coming movie's and films in New York City last month 'I started writing from a deep place within,' she explained. 'Through my poetry, I've found a woman who was terrified of not being able to live up to her family's legacy—scared of not being big enough, a good-enough daughter, sister, wife, mother, journalist.' For his part, Schwarzenegger has accepted the new parameters of their relationship as co-parents and grandparents. 'My chapter with Maria will continue on forever. Even though it's a different relationship, there's no reason for me to feel anything but love for her,' he told People in 2023.

EXCLUSIVE Lara Flynn Boyle, 55, shows off her famously svelte frame during first public outing in two years
Stick-thin Lara Flynn Boyle was spotted in a rare public outing while walking her dog near her Los Angeles home, photos show. The Twin Peaks alum, 55, who tends to keep a low-profile these days, broke cover last Thursday for a relaxing stroll - and cigarette break - around her Bel-Air neighborhood. The reclusive Hollywood actress went makeup-free for the excursion which marks the first time she has been seen out and about in nearly two years. Her time away from the spotlight, however, appears to have treated her well, still sporting a fresh face and her famously svelte frame. Boyle looked casual and cozy in gray sweatpants and sandals, keeping warm from the early morning LA chill in a white baseball cap and green light puffer jacket. At one point Lara stopped to chat with a handsome male neighbor, shaking his hand and sharing some banter while pointing out to him where she lives. Lara still has her famously svelte figure more than two decades after her last major role as Helen on The Practice Though she has been married to real estate investor Donald Ray Thomas for nearly two decades, she made the quick foray outdoors alone with her pup. Boyle made her name in cult classic TV show Twin Peaks, which marked its 35th anniversary in April, and went on to star in a host of other projects including Wayne's World, Happiness, and Men In Black II. She famously dated Jack Nicholson on and off for seven years until 2004 but has been married her second husband, whom she calls 'my urban cowboy', since 2006. Boyle had appeared to retreat from the limelight in recent years until last summer, when she starred in her first film in four years, the comedy-drama, Mother, Couch, alongside Ewan McGregor, F. Murray Abraham and Lake Bell. At one point she began making headlines over her drinking habits, but revealed in a recent interview that she has been sober since 2019. 'Those disco boots, they've had their time,' she told People magazine in July 2024. Back in 2018, published photos of Lara drinking out of a Johnnie Walker bottle while behind the wheel of her car in a Westwood parking lot. Boyle did not comment on whether those photos caused her to want to stop drinking. But she did allow: 'Some people are allergic to it; some people are un-allergic to it.' Boyle's personal life, specifically her high-profile on-again, off-again relationship with Nicholson was also the subject of media attention in the late 90s and early 2000s. Hollywood icon Nicholson, now 88, is 33 years her senior. The pair sparked up a romance in 1999. The couple called it quits in 2004, but were last photographed together in 2006, months before she met her current husband. During the same interview, Boyle made a rare comment about her former lover, who she referred to as a 'huge part of' her life. While reflecting on their relationship the actress raved that she views it as 'seven years of great times.' 'It's seven years of wonderful,' the Davenport, Iowa, native, who married Texas real estate investor Thomas, back in 2006, elaborated. Although Boyle said she no longer hangs out with the three-time Oscar winner she did confirm to People that they still keep in touch. While speaking about her long-lasting marriage, she credited its longevity to 'honesty, maturity, experience and respect.' Flynn also took the opportunity to shut down the claims that she met Nicholson while out with her then-boyfriend David Spade. The Saturday Night Live alum in 2015 alleged that 'Nicholson asked Lara Flynn Boyle out in front of me, while we were all smoking a doob somewhere.' Three decades later, Boyle emphatically shut down the story as she insisted that 'never happened.' 'I think certain people like to embellish that for publicity,' she said. Following her relationship with Nicholson, Boyle said she never dated another movie star. 'I left with a bang when it came to actors,' she mused. Earlier this year, Nicholson 's daughter Lorraine opened up about her dad dating Boyle when she was growing up. Lorraine, 35, whose mom is actress and model Rebecca Broussard, 62, told Vanity Fair in January that Boyle became her 'role model' and dubbed her the 'Mary Poppins of Mulholland Drive'. However, she revealed that when she recently contacted Boyle to ask if they could speak for the first time in 20 years, her request was denied.
