Life is all about balance — just ask Kate Beckinsale.

After spending the morning working up a sweat at the gym, the 36-year-old actress joined a friend for a shopping spree in Beverly Hills yesterday (August 26).

Meanwhile, it appears that Kate is desperate to work with an unlikely star — Taylor Swift!

Claiming it’d be a simple way to please her 10-year-old daughter Lily, the British beauty says: “Lily’s really retro so she says, ‘Oh I wish you could work with Joan Crawford or Janice Joplin.’ I’m like, ‘They’re dead now. It’s probably not going to happen.’ She’s into Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon and all these people. Maybe if I worked with Taylor Swift I’d be golden though.”
