Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet is joyous of the fact that she has wrinkles. She says she simply “loves” her wrinkles. Kate is popular for making candid statements and is also very open about her life and surroundings.

The 33-year-old actress insists she would never have Botox done on her.  She could not bear Botox smoothing out her facial lines.

She would simply hate being injected in the forehead because she enjoys seeing her face change as she gets older.

She said: “I just love seeing those things. I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realising that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn’t as well-oiled as it was.”

Kate who reunites with ‘Titanic’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in new movie ‘Revolutionary Road’ also revealed that she was excited to see how much she and Leonardo have aged since appearing in the 1997 Hit movie.

kate has been a part of many good movies. The numbers are not huge but the quality sure is. She has a come a long way since her growing days with director, James Cameron of “Titanic”. Her British stature and beauty has made her stand up in several classic movies like Sense and Sensibility (1995). Winslet played the character of Clementine Kruczynski in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) to perfection. She has matured as an actor and as a person.

She said: “I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner ”

She added to Parade magazine: “I’m like, ‘Yes, damn it! Look at those foreheads move!’ I mean, he has this amazing furrow between his eyebrows, which wasn’t as prominent then and this one on my forehead is much more prominent in me now.”

Kate says her husband Sam Mendes, who directs ‘Revolutionary Road’, has helped put her life in perspective.

She said: “I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner it was a difficult balance to find. Now I feel I’ve got that. I’ve actually had it for a while, I think. That’s mainly to do with my incredible husband.”

“We were having lunch, and I was having a glass of wine and eating bread and putting butter on the bread, and I turned to Sam and said, ‘I am just so happy!’ “

Spears has been named as the Best International Pop Star for the Bambi award. The award is an annual television and media prize awarded by the Hubert Burda Media Group.
Britney’s global comeback will be stamped by the award ceremony. The pop idol has risen like a phoenix. All the fans will be overjoyed to experience their star’s growth for the second time. Event host Hubert Burda says, “Britney Spears is back. Radiant and better than ever, the erstwhile teenie (sic) idol has reclaimed her throne.”

Another official adds, “Her stunning comeback from an absolute low point impressed all of us.” Besides this Spears has her fingers crossed for her upcoming release of “Circus” which is already doing the rounds on the web and in general. Her album’s singles are already included in the talk of the town (global village !). Britney will be collecting her award at the ceremony on Thursday (27Nov08), when she will also perform.

Bambi awards for Britney will mark and honour Spears as a glowing inspiration for being able to comeback after a tumultuous 12 months which she spent like a purgatory.

Spears’ recent dates have not been much of a success.

She tells Rolling Stone magazine, “Right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad. He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier…So I had to get dessert first. And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older… We’re trying to ask him questions, like, ‘OK, you’re into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, all kinds.’ But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up.”
