The 33-year-old actress mingled with “Revolutionary Road” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio on the red carpet prior to the evening’s show - later proclaiming her love for the “Basketball Diaries” hunk.

Kate Winslet: Manhattan Chic
She’s always turning heads with her amazing sense of style, and this morning (January 8) Kate Winslet definitely didn’t disappoint as she left her New York City apartment.

The “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” actress looked super-chic as she stepped out in an all-black ensemble including a pair of uber-stylish high heels.

Ralph Fiennes has Oedipal issues

Ralph Fiennes has Oedipal issues
Finally, Ralph Fiennes has started doing some interviews to promote his supporting role in The Reader. I say “finally? because Kate Winslet was doing the bulk of the promotional duties, which is no surprise for two reasons. First, this seems to be a film season where only actresses are doing promotion (like Reese Witherspoon in Four Christmases). Secondly, after finally reading an interview with Ralph Fiennes - who’s one of my favorite actors - I completely understand why The Reader?s producers might not want this profoundly talented and profoundly weird man opening his mouth any more.

Ralph Fiennes starts out the Times interview by reenacting a scene of Ben Gazarra in Tales of Ordinary Madness. The scene, in Ralph?s words, is ?literally about trying to get inside her womb… this unhappy man [Gazzara] is with a woman, and he literally wants to climb back inside her?. This sets the tone for the rest of the interview.

On any other day this might have seemed like an odd skit to come from the 46-year-old star of The English Patient, Schindler’s List and two Harry Potter movies (where he played the boy wizard’s evil nemesis Voldemort). But today Fiennes is on fire. He’s more than halfway through a mesmerising run of Sophocles’ brutally unforgiving Oedipus at the National Theatre and is thus somehow fantastically engorged with life’s Big Ideas.

?For me the lines in the play that resonate continually are, ?I want to know the secret of my birth’ and ?I do not know who I am!’? he says, dropping his voice to a whisper and running a hand slowly over his shaven pate. The haircut was his idea, he explains, to make him feel more naked on stage, but it has a powerfully imposing effect that, together with today’s outfit of blazer and denims with turn-ups, creates the impression of a patrician bouncer. ?And isn’t that the journey that most of us are on?? he continues, undaunted, transfixed by the tragic clarity of his words. ?Who are we? What are we doing? And where did we come from??

The play is agony, he says. The play might destroy him yet, he adds. And the play, as we all know, is about mothers. It’s all their fault. They are the site of the eternal return - that metaphorical place to which we, according to Sophocles, Freud and Fiennes, spend our life returning. We are trying, says Fiennes, to re-enter the womb (hence the skit). And that, he says, can sometimes get in the way of a decent romantic relationship.

?There is a tension in relationships between wanting to return to the womb, but also wanting to be free,? he says, with impressive candour for a man who was, until they split in 2006, often described as being in a vaguely ?maternal? relationship with the actress Francesca Annis (17 years his senior). ?Because sometimes the woman’s attentions can be overly maternal, and you want to go, ?Ahhhh!’?

[From TimesOnline]

The whole ?mothers, it?s all their fault? comment is such a horrible way to sum up both Oedipus and the larger point Ralph was making. To be fair to the source material, for years Oedipus?s mother never knew she was sleeping with her son, and when she did find out, she killed herself. When Oedipus found out, all he did was claw out his eyes. Whoops, was that a spoiler? My point: mothers always get the blame.

Ralph seems to be working through some issues with women in general, not just his mother. The conversation that started with such gems as ?he literally wants to climb back inside her? and ?I want to know the secret of my birth? is taking the logical course to Ralph?s current film, The Reader. Fiennes plays a German lawyer reflecting on a love affair he had with a woman in her thirties (played by Kate Winslet), when his character was fifteen. Sometimes the actor finds the material, and sometimes the material finds them, eh?

We move on to The Reader, which has its own share of provocations and mother issues. These are in the erotic and Oedipalised relationship between Fiennes’s younger screen self (played by David Kross) and an older, mysterious and illiterate former Nazi, Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet). The provocations, says Fiennes, are in the plot, ?and the idea that Hanna’s illiteracy could be an excuse for her joining the SS in the first place. I don’t accept that she couldn’t make a moral judgment about joining the SS just because she’s illiterate. And I think that’s a troubling area.?

Fiennes himself, you suspect, has little estimation of his own talents. His acting, it seems, is itself beyond acting, part of his own delicate process of individuation (remember, ?I want to know the secret of my birth??). All this, a Freudian might add, emerges in the dense undergrowth of childhood, and here it seems particularly poignant and indeed fitting that Fiennes can trace everything back to, yes, his mother, the writer Jennifer Lash.

The Fiennes family history is well-worn lore, and usually involves his farmer-turned-photographer father Mark and mother Jennifer dragging their seven-strong brood (including brother Joseph, sisters Martha and Sophie and foster brother Michael Emery) on a peripatetic childhood whirl through Dorset, Suffolk, West Cork and Salisbury.

In conversation the family tends to describe the period with quasi affection as a time of love without much material comfort. But today, focusing exclusively on Lash, Fiennes is a little more unsparing. He says that she had her own demons, and that, ?in her own way, she could make you feel like you hadn’t hit the mark, or you simply weren’t good enough?.

[From TimesOnline]

When Ralph Fiennes appeared on an episode of ?Inside the Actor?s Studio?, he wept when the conversation turned to his mother and her death. While I?m glad to see that Ralph has stepped outside of his grief and is talking openly about his mother and his issues, my guess is that The Reader?s publicity team might want this extraordinarily talented actor to tone it down a bit for this promotional tour.

Note by Celebitchy: I saw a special on Bravo many years ago called “The Family Fiennes” about Ralph’s family. He comes from a large family and has four brothers and two sisters, including an adopted foster brother. His mother was portrayed as a wonderful nurturing woman who tried to instill a love of art and literature in her children. If there were any issues between Ralph or any of the other children and their mom you couldn’t tell from the Bravo special and they all spoke very highly of her. Ralph’s mom published a few books under her maiden name, Jennifer Lash, including a travelogue and a work of fiction about an abandoned boy called Blood Ties. It was reminiscent of DH Lawrence and well written.

Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet are shown at the New York premiere of ‘The Reader’ on December 3rd. Images thanks to WENN.

Kate Winslet says she doesn't get the 'craziness for being skinny'

Kate Winslet says she doesn't get the 'craziness for being skinny'
Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow?s extreme attitude towards weight control, Kate Winslet has a relaxed and much healthier way of keeping her body in shape. According to a recent interview in Elle, Kate says she doesn?t even go to the gym. Instead, she spends twenty minutes a day doing a pilates DVD, and doesn?t get too crazy with what she eats. And the actress says she genuinely doesn?t understand all the body obsession in Hollywood.

Forget trainers and two-hour gym workouts. Kate Winslet has another secret to her movie-star figure: 20 minutes and a DVD. Winslet, who at 33 is a slim size 6 (UK size 10), tells the UK edition of Elle that “I don’t go to the gym because I don?t have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home.”

And, Winslet says, she’s been the same since she had her second child, Joe, five years ago. “I still don’t believe this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don’t stuff down chocolate biscuits,” she tells the magazine in its February edition.

Despite a set of stunning, sexy shots in Elle that show off her body, she is modest about her shape, calling herself “pretty average.” She adds, “I have cellulite, I have a rumply tummy and my boobs have dropped. I did think that post-kids, my sex scenes days were over.”

Far from it. Both her current movies ? Revolutionary Road, directed by her second husband Sam Mendes, 43, and costarring Leonardo DiCaprio, and The Reader ? contain sex scenes.

[From People]

Kate?s attitude sounds a lot better than other people?s extremes. The press ? especially the British press ? has always been obsessed with documenting her weight. She?s gone through periods of being a bit heavier than she is now, but Kate?s never been anything close to fat. And she?s been steadfast in her refusal to diet or go to any kind of extreme measures to conform to other people?s ideas of what her body should be. Clearly her focus is on health, not on weight.

Here?s Kate (with Leonardo DiCaprio and husband Sam Mendes) at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Revolutionary Road’ on December 12th. Images thanks to WENN.

Kate Winslet Praises Pilates
In an industry where appearance is everything, Kate Winslet has her own way of staying in shape - her favorite Pilates DVD.

The 33-year-old confessed that she doesn’t do the typical gym routine like many of her peers, as her schedule doesn’t permit her to do so.

Kate Winslet thinks having sex with 15-year-olds is not pedophilia

Kate Winslet thinks having sex with 15-year-olds is not pedophilia
Kate Winslet and David Ross in a still from The Reader

Kate Winslet sat down for a lengthy interview with The Guardian a few weeks ago to promote her two new films, The Reader and Revolutionary Road. The parts about Revolutionary Road were a lot of the same quotes she?s been giving over and over… but the part where she and The Guardian journalist get into the plot of The Reader and the main crux of the film?s ?love story?, Winslet turns a little weird.

Does Winslet feel that she’s a feminist? “I think I probably am, aren’t I?” Her assistant hurriedly adds, “In a loose, unofficial kind of way,” but Winslet continues to ponder. “I think I probably am. I mean, not in a bra-burning way. But I think I am a feminist, yeah.”

I am relieved by the ease of this exchange, contrasting, as it does, with our shaky opening conversation about her other new film, The Reader. Directed by Stephen Daldry, with a screenplay by David Hare, this is an investigation of guilt and complicity in postwar Germany. It is based on the bestselling book by Bernhard Schlink, and begins in West Germany in 1958, with Winslet playing Hanna Schmitz, a 36-year-old woman who had served as a concentration camp guard, and who starts an intense sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

I tell Winslet that I have read that she likes to sympathise with her characters. “When did you read that interview?” she says. “Which interview was that?”

I gulp, “Well, it was pretty recent - I don’t know, there have been so many.” She agrees. I start to ask whether she was able to find any way to empathise with Schmitz, given the character’s Nazi past, and the fact that her life includes this relationship with this young boy, which, I suggest, by modern standards, would be considered paedophilia on some level. She recoils. “I think you should be careful with that word.” She gives an unconvincing laugh.

“But do you know what I mean?” I say.

“No, actually, not with using that word, I don’t.”

Even given the fact that he’s 15?

“No, I don’t. Not to that extent, no, I have to say, I have to be very, very honest, you know, I think that it’s a very dangerous word to use - that applies to pre-pubescents. Let’s bear in mind that this boy turns 16 in the story, and that’s legal marriage age. And Hanna is led to believe he is 17.” (I didn’t notice this in the film - it’s possible I missed it.) “And the actor himself, David Kross, is 18, you know, he’s an adult.”

I agree and explain I am only talking about her character. She continues. “No, I never, to be honest with you, as a character, and as an actress - obviously the relationship is unconventional, because there is a big age gap between the two of them, and that was how I felt as a person, and I always very much viewed it as an unconventional relationship in that way, and very much as a love story.” She talks a little more about Schmitz, and about the character’s personal secrets, which provide the twists in the narrative, and then, unprompted, says: “You really have to remember that one of the greatest loves of my life, when I was younger, was 13 years older than me, and I was with him for five years, and then he died [I assume she is referring to the writer/actor, Stephen Tredre], and there were 19 years between my grandparents - so, I don’t know, maybe I’ve just never thought age gaps were wildly important.”

[From Guardian.co.uk]

So I actually went to my dictionary and looked up ?pedophilia? (the Americanized version) and the definition is simply ?sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object?. It doesn?t give the ages of what?s generally considered childhood, so I suppose we must look to legal and societal definitions. In my mind, fifteen is too young to be considered an adult legally or sexually.

Another point that goes unspoken is the reverse sexism of this specific issue. If this was a story about a thirty-something man engaging in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, we would be hearing a lot more - and by more, I mean condemnation and protests. But because the film is about an older woman seducing a young boy, it?s somehow ?art? beyond reproach? Is it somehow ?feminism??

I have always loved Kate Winslet as an actress and as a celebrity - she?s insanely talented, interesting, eccentric, down-to-earth and funny. But I think she does a disservice to the under-aged victims of sexual assault and rape by playing these word games. I hope that as she promotes The Reader in the coming weeks, she clarifies this issue.

Kate Winslet admits she left her dying ex-boyfriend

Kate Winslet admits she left her dying ex-boyfriend
Kate Winslet has been doing a lot of press for her upcoming film ?Revolutionary Road? with Leonard DiCaprio. She recently admitted that she left her ex-boyfriend, actor Stephen Tredre, when he was dying of bone cancer. Winslet said he broke up with her because he was afraid she was ruining her career by taking care of him. He died before he got to see Kate make it big - right before the premiere of ?Titanic.?

Kate Winslet regrets abandoning her dying ex-boyfriend - even though he told her to. Winslet dated actor and writer Stephen Tredre for five years, until he ended their romance in 1997 - fearing her fledgling Hollywood career would suffer if she spent her days caring for him.

After Winslet finished filming Titanic, Tredre died of bone cancer. Kate was not at the premier of blockbuster because she instead attended his funeral in London. But Kate wishes never agreed to Stephen’s wishes.

The actress - who is now married to director Sam Mendes - explains, “Stephen let me go, and that as an act of love from one human being to another was overwhelming.

“When I look back, I wish he hadn’t. I wish I had just been there. To the bitter end. He was gone very quickly and ? I still go over those moments in my head.

“I talk about Stephen as if I still love him. But I do. I hope I always will.

“You don’t (get over a death), you learn to live with it. I look back on it… and I still get upset when I talk about it.”

[From Gossip Rocks]

What a heartbreaking story. It doesn?t sound like Kate ?abandoned? Stephen so much as he wanted to do what was best for her, and she went with it. Clearly she?s still upset about her decision, but it seems like she?s chosen to look at it in the right light, in terms of it being an amazingly unselfish act on Stephen?s part. I think you could only do something like that if you truly, profoundly loved a person. Nonetheless, I don?t blame her for feeling guilty. It?s hard to match the kind of gift Stephen gave her, and her career really has blossomed. Hopefully Kate will eventually forgive herself ? it sounds heartbreaking, and like they both deeply loved each other.
