Leven Rambin Outs Over-Orange Brooke Shields

"Brooke was self-tanning every day to get ready for some sex scenes," the alabaster All My Children regular told reporters Thursday night at the Do Something Annual Gala in midtown Manhattan. "They kept delaying the scenes because she was so orange!" added Rambin, who recently portrayed a drunk, jailed starlet on LJ, a sort of Lindsay/Britney/Paris/Nicole hybrid. She closed the subject with some advice: "This is why I don't use self-tanner! You get past the point where it's hard to take it back." Are you catching all this, Brooke?
