Kate Winslet: I Was Fat

November 12th, 2008

She’s one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actresses, but growing up, Kate Winslet thought her chances of making it in the movies were slim.

 

“I was fat,” Kate, who weighed nearly 200 pounds as a teen, tells the December issue of Vanity Fair. “I didn’t know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all.”

 

And that feeling has stayed with the 5-foot-6 star through adulthood. “Once a fat kid, always a fat kid,” she says.

 

Female Hollywood stars often feel the need to stay thin to compete in thte movie business, something the British beauty, who was nicknamed “Blubber” as a teenager,  certainly experienced.

“After Titanic, the press wrote endlessly about my weight. So, for a while, I thought I had to conform, and I dieted and I got really thin,” she has said.

 

While the Revolutionary Road star is less strict about her weight these days and fluctuates between a size 6 and 8, she still feels the sting of being a chubby child. “You know why I fear people’s judgment? Because I know they’re judging."

Leonardo DiCaprio Sues Contractors

February 8th, 2008

Leonardo DiCaprio’s basketball court has brought him to another type of court.

The Oscar-nominated star and his cousin Robert Hrtica, from whom he rents a house, have sued contractors for causing a titanic-size mess during the basketball court project that has reportedly left his neighbors’ house on the fringe of collapse.

Filed on Jan. 30, the cross-complaint suit is the latest in a legal hassle that dates back to last May. Back then, Leo’s neighbors Joan and Robert Linclau sued the actor for allegedly damaging their property with his court construction. The couple claimed that their property was illegally excavated, plants were removed and their pool and deck were destabilized.

Countering back, the 33-year-old had stated that the Linclaus’ problems could’ve stemmed from their own renovation when they "illegally" installed a railroad retaining wall.

If the contractors, who were hired by Leo and Robert, are to blame, the Linclaus’ lawsuit will be void.
