Kate Winslet: My Daughter Hated My Oscar Gown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actress Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress last Sunday and while some may have thought her choice of dress was lovely, there was one person who was "mortified" about her gray dress... her 8-year-old daughter, Mia!

Winslet called her children - Mia, and son Joe Alfie, 5 - backstage, after her win. Mia couldn't believe her mother's gray Yves St. Laurent evening gown.

Kate, told Oprah on Monday's show, "I said, 'Hi, Mia, did you jump up and down?' "[Mia] says: 'Yes, I did, Mum, I did. I need to talk to you about the dress, it was gray.' She was absolutely mortified I wore a gray dress."

The 33-year-old told Oprah she didn't want a lot of dresses being sent to her, especially in these tough economic times.

"I think in this time in the economy, it's just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five. So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, 'We'd like to make something for you,' and that was what we did."

Kate also talked about not doing any more nude scenes because of her children.

"I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids they're 8 and 5 now, maybe they're going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I've done. I just sort of feel like I can't get away with it that much longer."

Another reason I love her - she's so real and seems like such a great mom! (And ya, she's a wonderful actress too!)

Photos: The Secret To Kate Winslet Looking Good Naked

Sassy Smith — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:04:00 GMT

Kate Winslet, after having two kids, admits that she has to work harder at keeping fit. She says that being nude on film gives her great incentive to get in shape, especially playing an older woman seducing a teen in her latest flick, The Reader. So, how does she get that sexy body?

More pics after the jump

The 33-year-old actress could have had a body double in the movie, but opted not to - she wanted the nude scenes to be real.

She said, "The body on screen is all me. I'm doing alright. I've had two kids [Mia, 8, and Joe, 5]. I don't look in the mirror and go: 'I look fantastic!' I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in saying: 'This is who I am.'"

And the secret to her sexy shape? No secret really - just common sense and hard work.

Kate avoids carbs and alcohol.

She continues, "I don't eat pasta or bread, I don't drink and I limit processed foods.

"I don't go to the gym. I go through phases where I think, 'I really should go.' But I work out on the living room carpet. It's great - no one's looking at you, no one's telling you what to do.

"I have a mat and weights and I do a stomach and burn thing."

She adds, she's not perfect - she's got her flaws like everyone else.

"I have a crumble baby belly, my boobs are the worse for wear after two kids. I'm not a supermodel. I just do whatever I can to stay healthy."

I like her - she seems so normal, well as normal as any celebrity can be!

Kate Winslet on Son's Name Change

Karl Erikson — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:32:00 GMT

Another celebrity baby wants to have his name changed. First Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, and now Kate Winslet's son, Joe Alfie, who turns 5 next week. Kate, 33, revealed on Monday's "Tonight Show" appearance that Joe will only respond to the name "Traiver" these days. He accidentally created the name while looking for his "trainers," aka sneakers.

Kate said, "He turns to me and says, 'My name is not Joe, okay? So just don't call me that anymore. That's why I've changed it to Traiver. But you can call me Traiver, or Traive.' I said, 'Okay, that's really cool, Traiver, how do you spell that?' It was so sweet."

Guess it's a good thing he wasn't looking for dog poop instead of his trainers.

Kate also said that both kids - she also has 8-year-old daughter Mia Honey - believe strongly in Father Christmas. And she wasn't sure if the kids were watching so she was very firmly on the side of Santa. Jay Leno asked if the wrapping paper ever raised suspicion with the children and Kate said, no, "the gift wrap in the North Pole is so completely different. You can't get the same gift wrap in the North Pole that you'd get in London or New York or wherever else you might be."

And for Joe, who is a Christmas baby (with a birthday of December 22), he'll be getting a few more gifts. Kate makes sure that Joe - er, Traiver - gets a separate birthday party with separate presents each year.

Mia is Kate's daughter with ex-husband Jim Threapleton. Joe/Traiver is her son with director Sam Mendes. Kate has a couple of movies hitting the cinema in the coming weeks: "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader."

Kate Winslet Keeps Nude Scenes Real

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 13:02:00 GMT

Kate Winslet likes to keep things "real," especially when it comes to movie roles and particularly doing nude scenes. Said Kate, who is playing an older woman engaged in an affair with a younger man, in The Reader, "It was important to me to look real. I really don't believe in this notion that actors and actresses should look untouchably perfect."

And how is it filming love scenes with actor David Kross, who is 15 years younger than she is? "It was the same as shooting any other scene of that nature.

"A scene with that level of intimacy involving nudity, you know, it's always nerve-wracking, and you really have to rehearse those scenes so that everybody knows exactly what's going on."

She, however, did find it difficult to go through the "aging" process for the movie - she was playing a woman 35 years older than she is now. Winslet admits it "was exhausting."

She adds, "It took seven hours to put on every day and the body suit weighs about 15 pounds." Can you imagine seven hours of prep time? Yikes!

I wonder if, when her kids are grown, if they'll watch some of their mother's movies that they're obviously too young to see now? I think part of that would be cool, but also sort of weird, especially if your mom is doing nude scenes. But maybe if you're a kid who grows up with actor parents, it's no big deal?

Kate Winslet looks amazing in the December issue of Vanity Fair! The 33-year-old actress and mother of two says that sometimes she thinks she looks "a little bit wrong." Uh, well, I think she looks "a lot right!" She's often criticized by the media (especially in England) for her weight fluctuations, but Winslet refuses to lose weight to fit some sort of Hollywood ideal. I say good for her!

More pics after the jump!

Kate said of the way she looks, "I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort.... But then I think, they can't be happy in those heels."

Kate is mom to daughter Mia Honey, 8 (dad is Kate's ex-husband Jim Threapleton) and son Joe Alfie, who will turn five next month (dad is Kate's husband Sam Mendes).

The Terror Of Sarah Palin

trix — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 19:03:00 GMT

Sarah Palin is a terror, a book burning terror.
Tales From The Crypt editor-in-chief Jim Salicrup revived the comic book 16 months ago and just recently put Sarah Palin on the cover. The reason he put her on the cover of the terror filled comic book, isn't to show support for Barack Obama but to speak out against the very thing that made the original publisher close down the operation in 1955.
On the cover Sarah Palin yells out, "Didn't we get rid of you guys in the 50's?" This is supposed to represent the rumor of her wanting to burn books in the Wasila library and the real threat of censorship.

"According to Jim Salicrup, editor-in-chief of Papercutz, the publisher that revived the classic title about 16 months ago. "This was not a partisan thing. People tend to think of everything as black and white these days—you are either for or against one of the parties 100%. But for us this was about the history of EC Comics, the original publisher of ’Tales from the Crypt.’ Anyone who knows that history knows that even of whiff of banning books is going to get us angry."

"Tales From the Crypt is not endorsing any political candidates, nor are we attacking any candidates. What usually seems to be behind banning books is an attempt to repress ideas that may offer alternative political views. This is not only un-American—blatantly violating the very concept of free speech—but it is assuming that people are unable to come to their own informed conclusions."

Poor little Frankie. The newly discovered Jonas seemed a bit overwhelmed by the throngs of teenage girls flocking and screaming to his older siblings The Jonas Brothers.

Something tells that Frankie will get used to this pretty quick.

OMG! Holy Disney teen idols! Today is finally, finally here! Camp Rock will rock you tonight on the Disney Channel.

The DCOM is a formulated hit featuring some of the hottest stars of today (see Jonas Brothers) and Disney hopes, those of tomorrow like Demi Lovato (no offense Selena Gomez).

It's funny that the show hasn't even aired yet and it's already huge. Send your kids to Camp Rock at 8/7c tonight (and probably every night for the rest of the summer) on the Disney Channel.

If you're nickname was Man-Ram would you name two of your three sons the same thing? Even if your nickname was great would you name two kids the same thing? I'm not talking to you, George Foreman. Luckily for the city of Boston the oddly-coiffed baseball player is more creative on the field than he is in the game of baby naming.

Ramirez and his two oldest boys, Manny and Manny Jr., really, spent a little time horsing around at Fenway where Rudy Giuliani's Boston Red Sox have won the first two games of the World Series.

Congrats to Rudy, Manny, Manny and Manny.

Kate Winslet Is One Of Us

As a pale girl who wears all black all summer, I am thrilled to have the lovely and real and accessible Kate Winslet representing us. Hey world, take notice: No spray-on tan necessary! Kate's hanging out with kids Joe and Mia, who look like little individuals, too. She's cool and a good mom!

This great article in Good Housekeeping from last March shows how normal she is in every dimension. And just look at her! No nannies or body guards, carries her own water. She's someone who you know shows up for play dates with a bottle of pink prosecco. Chilled. Yeah, she has an open invitation to hang out in the shade any sunny afternoon.
