Kate Winslet turns to Leo for support during split
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010Kate Winslet Loves Her Naked Self!
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Kate Winslet is one of the most famous actresses in the world, however Kate is also one of the most outspoken actresses as well. Ask her a question and home girl will not beat around the bush…that’s our kind of girl! In the June issue of Marie Claire’s UK magazine, Kate dishes on life growing up as a chubby kid, aging and losing her first love. Check out some of the highlights of the interview below.
ON GETTING OLD AND WRINKLY:
I don’t mind the way I’m ageing…. I think I look my age, and that’s fine. I don’t think I look younger than 33 and I don’t think I look particularly older than 33. I think I’m sort of holding it together.
ON BEING HER “HEAVIER” IN HER EARLY CAREER:
Things happened in quick succession between the ages of 19 and 22. No wonder I blew up like a balloon. Remember those days? I think it was the Golden Globe year for Titanic, and I was on a red carpet and somebody showed me a picture and I was like, “Fuck, I was enormous.” I don’t particularly remember sitting at home crying and eating endless packets of HobNobs. I don’t remember doing that at all. Honestly, I think it was a stress thing or something. I don’t know.
ON LOSING HER FIRST LOVE:
It’s just awful. And I am the age now that he was when he died, so it’s a big shock. If you lose somebody like that, you never really get over it; you just learn to manage it and live with it. I’m not particularly religious or spiritual, but I do feel him around a little bit, going, ‘You’re all right. Don’t worry.’ Which is amazing.
ON HER NAKEDNESS IN “THE READER”:
I do think it’s important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don’t really look like that. In films I might look glamorous, but I’ve been in hair and make-up for two hours; someone’s been lighting a scene for three hours. With the nudity in The Reader, for example, even I was like, “Damn, I look good.” And that was the lighting – it was a bit of body make-up. I don’t believe in pretending those things don’t go on.
ON CRAVING THAT OSCAR WIN:
There’s nothing bloody wrong with wanting it at all. And anyone who says, “Oh, I don’t know, oh, I’m on the fence…” it’s absolute crap. Of course they want it, deep down. Of course they do.

Kate Winslet Just Can’t Get Enough Of Oscar
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
After being nominated five times, Kate Winsletfinally won her Oscar. But, is Kate a little bit obsessed with her golden statue? Since Kate won the Oscar for Best Lead Actress, her and her little gold man have been inseparable. From awards parties to Oprah, that little man has already racked up some frequent flier miles.
Kate told Oprah, “I keep looking at him and going, “Oooh wow”. Looking at every little piece – very nice little bottom. It really is an outer body experience – you just think, “This can’t be happening” she said of hearing her name called out as the winner. I felt for sure this was going to be Meryl Streep’s. I honestly did not think for one second that it was going to be me.”
You know, I am very happy that Kate’s happy that she finally won an Oscar and I see no problem with her toting around her award for a couple weeks. If she is pushing Oscar around in a stroller and buckling it up in a car seat a few months from now, I might be a tad concerned.

Kate Winslet Has Some Issues.
Sunday, January 25th, 2009
Kate Winslet admits it she was fat. Big. Round. Rotund. Pleasantly plump. In fact, I can just picture Kate jumping up and down at the site of an unopened bag of Ripple chips…sour cream and onion, to be exact. Kate seems like a sour cream and onion kind of girl. Raw chocolate chip cookie dough also presumably brought the Katester joy…so just to sit on her happy booty to pile on the pounds with a belly full of garbage had to feel like Thanksgiving Day without the tryptophan. But today as an actress, Kate is a little more cautious about her weight, even though many times she has said she was happy with her curves.
“As a young girl, I never felt attractive. I was fat and unhappy at times and that kind of thinking stays with you your entire life. There’s always going to be a part of me that worries about not looking as slim as other actresses. But at a certain point, when you achieve a lot of your goals and you can be proud of your work, you start to relax more about who you are. And that includes you appearance and self-image – I don’t think I look too bad for a mother-of-two. But woman shouldn’t have to feel the pressure to compare themselves to actresses or models.”
Kate also gives a big fat middle finger to all the bony skinny bitches out there…
“I like to think that I represent normal women who have flaws, who have had children, and don’t starve themselves or go to the gym.”
As far as losing weight for her sexy time scene for the movie “Revolutionary Road” (that her hubby directed)?
“I can’t say I was thrilled to go on set for those scenes but it’s part of my job as an actor to do that, so you just get on with it. I didn’t want to look extra fit for the role because that wouldn’t have made any sense. And I would have been miserable going on some harsh diet before the film. I didn’t want to put Sam or my kids through that.”
mmmhmmm.

Kate Winslet And Leonardo, Lovers That Should Have Been.
Sunday, January 18th, 2009
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio have been “friends” for years…but to be reunited on the red carpet has got to feel pretty damn good. I mean look at them. Don’t they look freakin’ hot together? I know I say this quite a bit, but omg…these two should have hooked up long before Kate said “I Do” to her director hubby Sam Mendes. No offense, Sam. You’re alright.
But seriously…I mean…I’m sure they’ve knocked boots before, but wasn’t there a strong enough bond to force Leo to break up with that skinny little model heffer he dated way back when? What’s her name…ummm…Gazelle? Asriel?
Whatever, I’m sure it isn’t going to happen, much to my fantasies. At least I can see them together on the red carpet right now, smiling…arm in arm…and whispering and giggling like lovestruck teenagers…for the European premiere of their second film together, “Revolutionary Road”.
While in the UK, Leonardo was asked about his relationship with the award-winning actress. “We have been a great support mechanism for each other. We both started when we were young and have always been great friends ever since Titanic. We have always been there for each other.
And as far as smooching his co-star and “friend”, “I was entirely too used to that from doing that film (Titanic) with her, so to me it was very natural.”
Now here’s the fun quote…as far as on-screen sexy time? “It’s natural and I feel completely comfortable. In a twisted way it’s like kissing a family member.”
Awww, brings back sweet images of “flying” on the front of a big ship that eventually sinks.

Kate Winslet Ain’t No Angelina!
Saturday, January 17th, 2009
She is one of the most talented actresses in the industry today. She’s brutally honest and speaks her mind when necessary. Kate Winslet freakin’ rocks. Since her big onscreen success with one of the most successful films in history (“Titanic”), Kate Winslet has since been nominated for FIVE Oscars but hasn’t yet won one. But there is no doubt in my mind that this year could definitely be THE year Kate will take home at least one golden statue for her roles in either the “Reader” or her role opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “Revolutionary Road”. Ask David Hasselhoff or even Sharon Osbourne…the bitch has got talent! Her work speaks for itself…
WHY KATE IS PULLING AN “ANGELINA”:
Acting is great, I love it, but it’s bloody hard work, incredibly time-consuming and really challenging. Since my son was born, I’ve played a lot of very demanding parts, and you get to a certain point where you just need a break. I want to be a mum – not a mum who’s at work all the time.
HOW SHE MANAGES HER CAREER AND MOTHERHOOD:
It’s a lot to juggle: to be the wife that you want to be to your husband, to be the mother that you need to be to your kids – to do the school run every day and be there for all the crucial moments of their growing-up – and also to be able to do a job like acting, which demands so much of your emotional self, and to be able to give yourself to it wholeheartedly.
I think how it works for me, like for any working mother, is you just get really good at compartmentalizing. My kids will always be at the forefront of my brain anyway, and when I’m with them they are my absolute priority.
ON WORKING WITH HER HUBBY ON THE SET:
It was incredible to see Sam in action and watch how he worked with the other actors, not just me. He’s a marvelous teacher, and adapts himself around the needs of every actor, because we’re all different.
Both Leo and I are very quick, very, ‘Okay, tell me what you need – good idea, I’ve got it.’ But he was gentler with Kathy Bates (who plays a smaller part in the film), because she is a very gentle person and needs to be guided a little. She’s fairly close in age to Sam’s mother, and he became almost like a son to her. It was a lovely thing to see. He’s a wonderful director.
ON SAM AND WHETHER HE GETS JEALOUS OF HER ON-SCREEN SEXY TIME:
Of course not. I’m not a porn star. I’m not walking out there and having sex with other people for my job. He’s more concerned that I feel comfortable, and making sure I feel the love scene is justified.
I’ve done a lot of nudity in films and I feel very fortunate that, each time, the scene has been relevant and has actually enhanced the story. Sam has supported me in all of that, and has always felt the same way.
WHY SHE IS GLAD SHE ISN’T ANGELINA JOLIE:
Although I don’t know them, I do think about their situation. They’re like a walking soap opera, and the public wants to know what’s going to happen next. I didn’t choose this profession because I wanted to be famous. I come from a family of actors, who have often struggled, so I always thought I’d be lucky if I even got a job.
I’m grateful for my success because of the freedom it’s given me as an actress. The downside is how much more publicly available you become. I don’t want Mia or Joe to think being famous is about wearing beautiful dresses – if you’re on a red carpet and wearing a fabulous frock, it’s the result of years of hard graft.
