princess 1,712 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 [CDATA[<strong>Kate Winslet Marries 'Beauty' Director</strong><br />STEPHEN M. SILVERMAN<br />people.com<br /><br />Oscar-winning film and stage director Sam Mendes saw his Broadway stage revival of "Gypsy" (starring Bernadette Peters) get completely shut out at the Tony Awards Sunday night, but he can seek some consolation from his wife, "Titanic" star Kate Winslet.<br /><br />That's right -- we said wife. The filmmaker and the actress were recently married, a publicist for the couple finally confirmed Monday.<br /><br />"This is to formally announce that Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet married in late May in a very small ceremony whilst on holiday in the West Indies. ... Present were Kate Winslet's (2 1/2-year-old) daughter, Mia, and three close friends," the rep said in a statement.<br /><br />This marks Winslet's second marriage, following her 2001 divorce from her husband of three years, film director Jim Threapleton, whom she met on the set while the two were making the indie feature "Hideous Kinky." The pair had daughter Mia together, but the relationship eventually crumbled.<br /><br />Mendes's movie credits include 1999's "American Beauty," for which he received the Best Director Academy Award, and last year's "Road to Perdition." Before meeting Winslet, he was linked with such actresses as Rachel Weisz, Jane Horrocks and Calista Flockhart.<br /><br />But it was shortly after her divorce that Winslet, 27, and Mendes, 37, quietly began going out together, first appearing in public at the New York premiere of her movie "Iris" in late 2001.<br /><br />"He's a good man," Winslet told PEOPLE at the time. "You can say I said that with a large smile on my face."<br /> <br />]] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

princess 1,712 Report post Posted June 12, 2003 Reverend Reveals Mendes-Winslet Wedding Detailsimdb.comKate Winslet and Sam Mendes sipped champagne and ate barbecued food at their Caribbean wedding last month, according to the church minister who officiated at the ceremony. The Reverend John Gumbs admits he wasn't aware the Titanic star was an actress, although he did know American Beauty director Mendes was a Commander of the British Empire (CBE). The celebrity pair exchanged vows at a small-scale ceremony - attended by just three friends and Winslet's two-year-old daughter Mia - at a seaside villa on the tranquil island of Anguilla. Reverend Gumbs says, "The marriage license was issued to me, and the wedding was on the lawn at a very beautiful private villa, the kind only celebrities can afford to stay at, on the seashore in Barnes Bay. Mr. Mendes and Miss Winslet were both charmingly dressed, and it was a very nice occasion. It was an orthodox Methodist ceremony, in which neither promised to obey each other. Everybody was beautiful and suitably attired, and it was a very private affair. They had a drink, and then I left before the delicacies, but there was plenty of room for a barbecue." The minister adds, "I knew that Mr. Mendes was a Commander of the British Empire, and he's a relatively young man for such an honor so I knew he had to be of some importance. I didn't know of Miss Winslet's acting career, but I gathered that she was a celebrity. I have heard of Titanic but I didn't know she was in it." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princess 1,712 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Guess we know why the spontaneous marriage Second Tyke's a Charm for Winslet EOnline.com by Lia Haberman Jul 25, 2003, 8:45 AM PT First came love, then a secret marriage, now comes news that Kate Winslet's shopping for a baby carriage. The Titanic star and her new hubby director Sam Mendes are expecting their first child in the new year, her publicist confirmed Friday. An official announcement is expected later today. This is the second marriage for Winslet following her split from director Jim Threapleton after just three years together. Mendes, an Oscar earner for directing American Beauty, is a first-time husband. It's also a second go-around at motherhood for the actress who has a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Mia, from her first marriage. Winslet and her new beau have maintained that they didn't hook up until after she and Threapleton separated. They publicly came out as a couple in the fall of 2001 at a premiere for Winslet's flick Iris, just months after she and Threapleton split and a little more than a year after Winslet gave birth to Mia. In her court petition, Winslet cited Threapleton's alleged "unreasonable behavior" as the reason for the divorce, which became official in December 2001. In tabloid terms: the demands of her career put too much of a strain on the relationship. Winslet took the plunge again in May, marrying in a private ceremony attended by just three close friends while on vacation with Mendes in the West Indies. The Hollywood power couple is reportedly on an extended round-the-world vacation but face a busy schedule when they return home. Winslet, a three-time Oscar nominee (Best Actress for Titanic and Supporting Actress for Sense and Sensibility and Iris) has a roster of movies to star in and promote. She recently starred with Kevin Spacey in The Life of David Gale and will soon be voicing a part in the BBC's leonine CGI movie Pride. She has also finished shooting on J.M. Barrie's Neverland and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Later this year, she's scheduled to begin work on the Coen brother-produced, John Turturro-helmed musical Romance & Cigarettes, opposite James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon and Christopher Walken. (Winslet has sung before, lending her pipes to an animated version of A Christmas Carol, which spawned a single called "What If?") Somewhere in there, she'll also have to find time to give birth. After making his mark with American Beauty, followed by last year's Road to Perdition, hubby Mendes is back working the stage, serving as director of the Broadway revival of Gypsy, starring Bernadette Peters. Which should leave him plenty of time to change diapers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a digitally altered image.'... I don't have breasts remotely like those. Trust me. She had slabs of her stomach taken out. What the (eff) is going on?"

MMM1 1 Report post Posted April 29, 2004 I saw that episode on MTV with the gal that wanted to look like Winslett. She kept referring to that magazine cover that was blantantly airbrushed ..think it was the GQ cover. The girl was a plus size model and had lost alot of weight so the tummy tuck did help with the excess skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MC 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2004 Maybe it's like when you take a picture of a haircut into your hairdresser to show what kind of hair you want? I don't think she wanted to look like Kate Winslet. She wanted to look like the digitally-altered KW. It's like saying "I want this cut but a little longer in back, a little fuller here..." But I do worry about the young kids who have no idea who they are on the inside and don't even try to find out until the outside looks like someone they want to be on the outside. Garbled post LOL.

At the bar, our mole was standing next to a woman whose face looked very familiar. Deciding it must be someone from school, she launched into introductions, catches up conversation and conned the woman into getting her a drink. Meanwhile all her friends were standing back aghast and asked how she knew Kate Winslet.Our mole went a bit red and went back to apologise, only to find Kate literally eating the face off her male companion. The bloke wasn't Jim Threapleton, her make-do husband who she married a couple of weeks later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
