Clearly, Kate Winslet relieved herself in the cornflakes of an editor of either Radar or Star Magazine, because this is SECOND ?Kate Winslet is a massive bitch? story to come out in a week?s time, and both stories originate in the Star/Radar family. Last week?s story was all about Kate being rude to the locals of a small Massachusetts town where her new movie, Labor Day, is filming. Locals ran to Star Magazine to claim that Winslet was throwing bitchfaces at everybody and that she wouldn?t even deign to wave or smile at any of the dozens/hundreds of people who were looking forward to meeting her. This week?s story is all about Kate being rude to yet more fans – this time on a Virgin Atlantic flight. Quick sidenote: Virgin Atlantic is the British airline company owned by Sir Richard Branson, who is the uncle of Kate Winslet?s boyfriend/lover, Ned RockNRoll. This sidenote was just to let you know that Kate and Ned were probably traveling for free, because that totally makes a difference in the story:
Kate Winslet is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, but RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the actress isn’t very friendly off-screen and even brushed off two teenage fans. While flying on a Virgin Atlantic flight on June 11 from London to Boston, fellow first-class cabin fliers Susan Roberts and her two daughters Katie, 17, and Jenny, 14, noticed the Titanic star sitting just ahead of them and were saddened when they were snubbed by Kate.
“My two daughters asked for an autograph about half an hour into the six and a half hour flight and she told them she would come back later and visit. Well, that never happened,” Susan exclusively told RadarOnline.com. “It was very sad that she couldn’t be bothered.”
However, Susan said a flight attendant did come back to tell the girls Kate would autograph a book for them, but that she would have to make the exchange ? which she did for them.
“I am sad that she told the girls she’d visit with them. She could have just said she didn’t give autographs and the girls would have understood,” Susan explained. “They would have been disappointed but not disillusioned.”
The experience has changed Katie and Jenny’s affection for one of their favorite actresses, Susan said.
“My daughters have dumped their Titanic and The Holiday DVDs vowing never to watch her movies again,” Susan revealed.
Susan also told RadarOnline.com that she’s flown Virgin Atlantic in the past and usually has great service, but that with Kate on the flight the attendants were preoccupied in making sure her every need was met and other passengers were ignored.
“It was also sad that the usually excellent service through Virgin Atlantic was nonexistent as the flight attendants spent the majority of their time providing Ms. Winslet with food, tea and alcohol and the rest of the first class cabin was left to fend for itself,” Susan said. “The flight attendants even blocked the aisle where Kate was sitting.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, fans in Massachusetts claim they were also snubbed by Kate, 36, as they eagerly awaited her arrival on the set of Labor Day.
“Kate was so rude, she never once acknowledged any of us, I was devastated,” hopeful fan Shanna Swan told Star magazine. “She gave dirty looks to people in my town who waited hours to see her.”

OK, I didn?t quite get the thread of this random woman?s complaint. She went up to Kate and asked Kate to come and meet her children. Kate said ?Sure, whatever? and a few hours later Kate sent a stewardess back to the woman and her daughters with an offer to autograph a book, which the woman accepted. But the woman was pissed off that her daughters didn?t get to actually meet Kate, and she?s whining about the flight attendant doing the autograph exchange? Seriously? Once again, I?m not a huge Kate fan or anything, but I don?t really think this incident is some example of her stone-cold bitchery.
However, I am fascinated by the details about the flight attendants waiting on Kate exclusively – that?s because of her connection to Richard Branson, correct? Well, well, well. Looks like dating Ned RockNRoll does have one benefit. Is it worth the trade-off? You get to travel in style for free… but you have to date Ned RockNRoll.
Also: Kate was just named a Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth. It’s called a CBE, but I don’t think her title changes or anything – it’s not a knighthood or anything, is what I’m saying. So Kate’s not a Dame yet.

You know I?m not currently a member of The Kate Winslet Fan Club, but as I read this story in Radar/Star Magazine, I did feel a surge of sympathy for Winslet. The story actually reminds me of a tabloid story about Meryl Streep that we covered a few months ago – remember how one of Meryl?s Connecticut neighbors was all ?OMG, Meryl is such a bitch!!?? That?s what this is like. Kate Winslet is working on a film in Massachusetts – I?m including some photos of her at work (with Ned RockNRoll in tow). Apparently, Winslet isn?t super-friendly with the residents of this small town. So now the locals are flocking to the tabloids to bitch about Winslet.
The real Kate Winslet may not be nearly as sweet as her on screen persona! Kate rudely snubbed her adoring fans in the small town of Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts recently while shooting her new movie Labor Day and Star magazine has exclusive details about her shockingly bad behavior.
“Kate was so rude, she never once acknowledged any of us, I was devastated,” hopeful fan Shanna Swan told Star. “She gave dirty looks to people in my town who waited hours to see her.”
Shanna grew up in the small town and has been a huge fan of Kate?s since she was a child and said the actress was received with open arms from the town?s people. “Upon her arrival everyone was yelling ?Kate we love you!? and you could hear everyone gasping with excitement when her black Cadillac pulled up.”
She said she had been waiting in the rainy cold weather with her young children to see the Oscar winning actress and was surprised when Kate refused to acknowledge the crowd of fans.
?I could feel and hear the excitement of everyone around me saying ?OMG is that Kate? When is she coming?? and there were lots of excited senior citizens. I witnessed several seniors asking the production staff if Kate would come and talk to fans and there were roughly 100 people waiting for her.”
Unfortunately, Shanna said Kate refused to look at the crowd and completely ignored everyone waiting to meet her.
?She always plays such warm people on the big screen, I thought she would be kind, so when she was mean, I was crushed,? Shanna said. ?I watched The Titantic 13 times when I was 12 years old, and Kate wouldn?t even look up for a second to acknowledge we were all adoring her.?
“Everyone in town was really hurt, and I could hear people calling her name. After she took off, one lady right next to me specifically said, ?Wow. How rude was that??”
Now everyone in the small town is talking about Kate’s behavior, “She was just plain nasty. Kate was only on set for a short time and jumped back in her Cadillac and took off, without even a wave or thank you or a smile for us.”
“This was the first celebrity I’ve seen in my lifetime, and sadly the experience was hurtful to me and my entire town. Kate Winslet really left a bitter taste in our mouths.”
[From Radar]
So Kate is a massive bitch for just putting her head down and going to work rather than glad-handing the populace like a politician? She?s not running for office – she isn?t required to spend time with random people milling about. That being said? she could have spent some time with the locals, but I think the problem is bad staff work on the part of the film production and Team Winslet. Surely a producer or an assistant would have mentioned to Kate, ?Hey, can you just go over there and sign a few autographs and smile for some photos? It would go a long way towards keeping the peace.? But whatever. I don?t care for Kate, but this isn?t adding any fuel to my fire.

Hard at work on her latest film, Kate Winslet was spotted on the Boston, Massachusetts set of ?Labor Day? on Tuesday (June 5).
The ?Titanic? beauty looked gorgeous in a rose color dress and wavy hair while seeming pretty cheerful as she was seen laughing and having a good time with her fellow cast members.
In the new drama, a depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.
The Jason Reitman directed film also stars Josh Brolin and James Van Der Beek and is set to be released in 2013.

Celine Dion is one classy, hardworking bitch. She was on The Today Show yesterday explaining what happened when she had to cancel five whole weeks of her show in Vegas, due to a virus that affected her vocal cords and singing ability. Celine was really matter-of-fact and cool about her medically-imposed hiatus, and basically said she doesn’t define herself by her voice. She said “I don’t depend on my success and my singing. Don’t get me wrong. I love what I do. But I don’t hold on to that. When you have children, you have accomplished a lot.” She went on to say that her house is full of playrooms and that the floor is sticky, and she sometimes gets Cheerios in her hair. Celine has son Ren-Charles, 11, and twin sons Eddy and Nelson, two and a half, with her husband of 17 years, Rene Angelil. She went through many heartbreaking miscarriages before she was able to successfully conceive her twins, and I remember well how open she and her husband were about their struggles.
In her Today Show interview, Celine was of course very gracious and well spoken about Kate Winslet’s diss of her classic hit “My Heart Will Go On.” As you might remember, Kate said that the song, the theme for her seminal film Titanic, makes her “feel like throwing up when I hear it,” and that it’s often played in her honor when she walks into restaurants and bars. It was kind of obnoxious, but that’s Kate for you. (Although I thought it was pretty funny.) When Celine was responding to the question about Kate’s diss, she swallowed a little bit and you could tell it bothered her, (that’s at around 3:45 in the video above) but she then went on to talk about how the song made her career.
The way I see it is that ‘My Heart Will Go On’ gave me the opportunity to be associated with a classic that will live forever. If I just count how many times I’ve sung it, maybe it’ll get me sick. If she feels tired just hearing it, and, like, throwing up, I’m glad she was not the one singing it.
[From MSNBC]
Then Celine went on to say that her son likes Eminem and that “who knows” if she’s going to collaborate with him someday. She’s really cool, I enjoyed watching this interview a lot. (Although I still remember how she had the “Ridiculous Pictures of Celine Dion” Tumblr taken down. That was not cool.)
Winslet should take a page from Celine Dion. It might be annoying to hear the same cloying song over and over again, but tell that story to your friends. Tell the press that you’re grateful that the movie/song helped make you successful. Titanic will probably remain the highest grossing film of Winslet’s career (to quote Wiki) and it’s definitely what she’s known for. It’s not like she’s doing superhero movies now. Have some tact.
These photos of Celine and Kate Winslet together are from 2007:

Kate Winslet covers the new issue of Vanity Fair Italia – this is a new photo shoot and interview, as opposed to something VF Italia jacked from one of their sister publications. I mentioned this in yesterday?s links, but I guess I?ll say it again: Winslet looks really odd (to me). Of course, this oddness is probably Photoshop, although… in candid photos, Winslet looks pretty much the same as this. Anyway, have you heard? Kate Winslet is an advocate for ?normal? women. Here are some highlights from Kate?s interview:
Winslet on whether she?s bored with talking about body image: ?Better say that I’m bored of what it means that we are still here talking about it: it means that nothing has changed. Otherwise, no, I believe it is important to go on insisting that normality is not what we are exposed to. Honestly, among my acquaintances there is no woman wearing XS. No, sorry, there is one: my daughter. The point is that Mia is 11 years old.?
On criticism of her shape: ‘It’s one of those things I learned quickly to ignore. Once it was different, it hurt me. When I was twenty I pretended it didn’t bother me, but I felt very bad, I did. In front of journalists and the public I acted superior, but I was dying inside. Now everything is different. It takes time, but you can learn it.?
Getting rid of ?the fat girl?: “It’s true that you need much time to get rid of the fat girl you once were, but – you know – I am sincerely grateful for my buttocks. Wow, isn’t this a wonderful line??
On her normal life: ?I have always lived an ordinary life, and always will. It’s who and what has to do with my job that makes it ?unordinary.? I cook, go to the supermarket, pick my children up at school.”
[Via The Mail]
Maybe I?m being oversensitive (it happens) or maybe I?m being too bitchy (that definitely happens), but I find Winslet?s whole ?I?m a positive body image advocate because I used to be FAT just like you? argument to be so, so patronizing. There are lots of women who struggle with their weight, of course. There are lots of women (the overwhelming majority of women) who are not even close to being a size zero. Why does Kate want to be our patron saint? Because she was chubby in her early 20s and then she remade herself into a sleek, tucked, sucked and plucked Hollywood blonde? If we?re really going to have a conversation about body image and the messages actresses send to ?normal? women, what does it say when a lovely, curvy-figured woman starts carving herself up and drastically slimming down over the course of a few years? And what does it say to women when Kate Winslet refers to her curvy-figured years as ?the fat girl??

Cat fight! Cat fight! Back when Titaniccame out, every girl fell in love with Leonardo DiCpario, but not Kate Winslet. They just called her fat. Look who’s fat now!Kate Winslet was doing press for Titanic 3Don Daybreakthe other day and joked that she looks way better than Leonardo DiCaprio. Then she pushed up her nose and made a bunch of oinking noises. Alright, that didn’t happen but whatever.
‘We do look very different, we?re older. Leo?s 37, I?m 36 ? we were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he?s fatter now ? I?m thinner. It?s true though!’ The Dailiy Mail
She’s probably just bitter that James Cameron somehow duped her into doing press for Titanic 3D(3D boobs!) and Leo managed to wiggle out of it. Which is ironic cause you wouldn’t expect him to be able to wiggle out of anything on account of him being such a fatass.

Kate Winslet is known for swearing like a trucker, and we definitely know that she regularly speaks her mind. Sometimes that makes her sound sanctimonious and arguably hypocritical, but other times she’s so blunt it’s funny. She recently said that the theme song for Titanic, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” makes her want to puke whenever she hears it. Kate went on to explain that she often hears the song played in her honor when she enters bars and restaurants, and that she has to endure Titanic jokes whenever she steps on a boat. It was understandable, and while some find Kate intolerable she’s definitely starting to grow on me. In a new interview on British TV, Kate quipped that since she did Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio 15 years ago she’s gotten thinner while he’s fatter.
Fifteen years after Titanic’s phenomenal success?those 11 Oscars, those gazillion bucks?Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are at the top of the fame game, amassing nine Oscar nominations and one win between them.
One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is their bawdy sense of humor with each other?Winslet has often said DiCaprio is like a brother to her, and she once famously told Vanity Fair, “To me, he’s just smelly, farty Leo.”
Well, well, well?that wicked sense of humor was on full display when the actress recently looked back on their fateful pairing 15 years ago and took stock of the, ahem, hefty things he’s done since?
“We do look very different, we’re older,” Winslet said while guesting on the U.K. show Daybreak, as reported by the Daily Mail. “Leo’s 37, I’m 36?were 21 and 22 when we made that film. You know, he’s fatter now?I’m thinner. It’s true though!”
Gotta give it to Winslet, the lady knows how to milk a good laugh!
The ribbing is all the more hilarious?and ironic?given that, early in her career, Winslet was constantly scrutinized and picked apart for her gorgeously zaftig figure.
[From E! Online]
Photo agency WENN has the detail that Kate added that Leo wouldn’t care that she said he’d gained weight. According to them her full quote is “He’s fatter, I’m thinner and he won’t care I’ve said so!” Leo shouldn’t care – he deserves a little ribbing since Kate is shouldering all the promotional duties for Titantic 3D. The least he could have done would be to show up at the London premiere, but so far it’s been all Kate.
Well it’s true, basically. Leo is a much bigger dude that he was 15 years ago and Kate is slimmer. She was so hot in Titanic and I just googled “Kate Winslet’s boobs titanic” as a reminder. I haven’t seen that film in at least 10 years. She has a great rack.
Kate is obnoxious and outspoken, but I have to admit I love people like that. Some of my closest friends are very blunt with larger than life personalities. Things are just more colorful and exciting when they’re around. So I would like to have a drink or three with Kate and gossip about celebrities. You know she can trash talk with the best of them. If this is the stuff she’s saying in interviews, she’s probably hilarious in person.

It’s no secret that I have a major girl-crush on Kate Winslet to render me completely snark-less. Seriously, don’t say anything bad about my girl. The woman is stunning. Plus, she isn’t a stick, and she’s actually got forehead wrinkles and crows’ feet–you know, how woman are supposed to look when they start aging. It’s sad that she’s one of the exceptions to that rule, but that means extra kudos for her. Plus, she’s not afraid to show her boobies in movies. I will actually go and pay extra for stupid 3D just to see her topless in this movie. Don’t pretend you’re not doing the same.

Gearing up for the 3D re-release of ?Titanic,? Kate Winslet shared that the key to her on-screen chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio was keeping things cool off-screen.
The ?Mildred Pierce? starlet began, "We really never fancied each other; we really never had a thing for each other in that way, so there was never any flirting."
"We had a really great trust right away, actually, and a sense of humor, too, which was the thing that got us through such a tough shoot,? she added.
Writer/director James Cameron noted, "I think they needed each other as an oasis in the middle of all this chaos and all the scale of the physical production. It was a little place they could kind of retreat to and not have to worry about the fact that this mammoth production was resting squarely on their shoulders."

Last night was the London premiere of Titanic 3D. Leonardo DiCaprio did not come out. But Kate Winslet was there! As was James Cameron (the director) and Billy Zane, that world-class freakshow. Let?s just talk about Kate, shall we? Kate wore Jenny Packham, the designer of choice these days for everyone from the Duchess of Cambridge to Angelina Jolie to? Miley Cyrus. I don?t really have strong feelings about this black silk crepe Packham gown either way. It?s not bowling me over, but I think it?s an okay choice for this premiere. It?s sort of matronly and conservative? which fits, I suppose, with where Winslet is right now. Honestly, I could do without the sparkly (Swarovski crystal) cap sleeves. But the hair, makeup and jewelry all work for me.
In the meantime, Winslet has been talking about the fire on Necker Island, which is Richard Branson?s private island. Winslet was staying there with Branson (and Ned RockNRoll, who became Winslet?s boyfriend) when a fire broke out last year.
Kate Winslet told “Live with Kelly Ripa” that she felt anything but calm when lightning struck the flagpole of Branson’s lavish home and the whole thing went up in flames.
“I really did think to myself, ‘Someone is going to say cut in a minute. Oh my God, no one is saying cut,’” shared Winslet. “I thought, ‘The wind machine is really good, but that rain is going to look so fake because there’s way too much of it. And this fire — it looks so real.’”
Winslet told Ripa that, although the media did cover the fire, the seriousness of the blaze was not widely understood.
“It is the one occasion where I would say the press didn’t actually really know the full extent of it. It was genuinely terrifying,” said Winslet. “If one of Richard’s nephews, Jack, hadn’t woken up and heard this loud bang — which was the windows exploding — he raised the alarm. Or if the wind was blowing in the other direction and our rooms had filled with smoke … who knows. Really, we woke up with about four minutes to get out. We were very, very lucky.”
While much has been made of Winslet carrying Branson’s mother out of the home on her back, the actress says that those reports are greatly exaggerated. Winslet says she merely “helped her to get out faster.”
Winslet shared that only one person was injured in the fire — Branson himself — and not because of flames or smoke.
“Nobody was hurt, except Richard, who woke up and saw the house across from his, with us and all his family in there, and got up and ran, naked, right into a cactus,” said Winslet. “He got this huge cactus needle stuck in his thigh.”
While on Necker Island, Winslet met new boyfriend Ned RockNRoll, Branson’s eccentric nephew. While RockNRoll left a London hotel holding Winslet’s hand before today’s premiere, Winslet walked the red carpet solo, posing for photos with “Titanic” director James Cameron. Leonardo DiCaprio was also conspicuously absent.
[From Page Six]
So Ned came to the premiere but he didn’t walk the carpet with her? What’s up with that? I still have very deep concerns about Ned RockNRoll, who I genuinely think is more useless than Duchess Kate. Ned seems like a total lay-about, coasting through life on his uncle?s name and his estranged wife?s fortune, and now his new girlfriend?s money and connections. He?s a golddigger. I don?t care if their love was born in a fiery island catastrophe. He?s still a golddigger.
? But at least he?s not Billy Zane?
