I freakin love Kate Winslet.  She’s so real, so unassuming and I think has a great sense of humour.

She graces (and I mean graces) the cover of the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar and talks about nudity in film, her boobs and her bum:

“If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that’s great,”

Even Oprah appreciates Kate’s boobs:

“God bless your real breasts.”

I don’t have to tell you what happens when Oprah endorses something, right?  I think film makers will be wanting more of Kate’s boobs in film now that Oprah has given her seal of approval.  That isn’t going to really work for Kate:

“I’ll be 34 in October. I can’t keep getting away with [nudity],” says Winslet. “There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back.”

She also talks romance with her director husband Sam Mendes:

“[R]omance to me is spontaneity,” Winslet insists. “It’s not diamond earrings; it’s a bunch of daffodils that’s freshly picked from the field. Or just a little thing like Sam calling me at three in the afternoon, saying, ‘I’m coming home now. I’m done for the day.’ It’s romantic because he just thought, ‘I’ll go home. I want to be with Kate and the kids.’ “

I agree it’s the simple things in life, but if my husband wants to give me diamond earrings, damn it I would feel obligated to accept them

The King of Pop, Michael Jackson was remembered at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles today in a moving ceremony that included musicians, actors, sports celebrities and of course family.

From the funny story Magic Johnson told about Michael having Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner when he visited, to the stories Brooke Shields told of her childhood friend, the tribute was moving and respectful.

I think we can all agree (to those who watched) the most moving part was when Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, spoke on stage:

“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” “I just wanted to say I love him so much.”

You can see from the pictures how close his children are with Paris paying extra attention to her little brother ‘Blanket’.

“There were times when he would ask me to marry him, and I would say, ‘You have me for the rest of your life, you don’t need to marry me, I’m going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you’ll always have me.’  “I think it made him relax. He didn’t want to lose things that meant something to him.”

Karina Smirnoff rocks some outfits from the Ed Hardy outlet at their corporate head office.   She and Maks are busy planning their wedding, and by planning I mean they`ve hired a wedding planner, picked a month (June 2010) but not a day.  They did want to originally have it in a castle, but Maks nixed that idea:

“We’re probably going to do something in Manhattan, I don’t know what,” he told PEOPLE “We’re moving along, but it’s not a fast process.”
