Kate Winslet


British actress Kate Winslet has slammed super-skinny celebs for spawning a "whole new generation of anorexics".

In an interview to Good Housekeeping magazine, the 'Titanic' star slammed women with size-zero waistlines, for she said that they were the reason why an increasing number of women were developing eating disorders, just so they could get that perfect figure.

"It seems to me that (Hollywood) is breeding a whole new generation of anorexics. I look at people and I want to say 'Look, it's alright you can eat something'" the Daily Mail quoted her, as telling the mag.

Winslet also admitted that she's aware of the fact that some women see her as her role model because she's proud of her 'normal shape', and insisted that she was not going to give up on food because she wants to be skinny.

"I think I have become something of a role model because I came out and said: 'Hey, I've got a normal shape'...It's important for me to stand by the fact that I eat real food and am not on a diet everyday," she said.

Winslet, who admits that she 'notices' when she's eating or drunk a bit too much, insisted that she didn't intentionally avoid foods as most weight-obsessed celebs.

"I just don't worry about my weight anymore. I notice it, if I've enjoyed a Christmas vacation and I have had too many glasses of champagne or too many canapes. But I don't avoid anything and I am not a fanatic," the five-time Oscar nominee insisted.

Gwen Stefani


As Gwen Stefani plans an extensive spring tour to promote her newly released second solo album, she says a reunion with her bandmates in No Doubt will have to wait for the foreseeable future.

"I see it on the horizon, but I'm not focussing on it. Life is going by way too quick," she told Billboard.com. "I can't really put a timetable on it, but I think it would be really great. Nothing can compare to the energy of the four of us onstage."

Bassist Tony Kanal told Billboard.com in March that he'd begun working on music for the band's next record, but it is unknown how far along that process is.

No Doubt has been silent since a 2003 singles collection, which featured its hit cover of Talk Talk's "It's My Life." The group's last studio album was 2001's "Rock Steady," which debuted at No. 9 on The Billboard 200.

Since then, Stefani has exploded as a solo star, thanks to 2004's "Love.Angel.Music.Baby." The brand new CD "The Sweet Escape," released last week, has already spawned a top 10 Hot 100 hit in "Wind It Up."

Asked if she's already working on concepts for her spring tour, Stefani said, "To be honest, no. I only finished doing vocals on this record a month ago at the most. I'm in the middle of promoting it now, so in January we'll start to think about the tour."

"It's really exciting to have all these songs to choose from," she continued. "On the last tour, I only had one album, so it was like, "OK! I guess these are the songs that I'm doing." Now, I will get to choose the best and most delicious tracks. But it's a bit overwhelming to think up all the concepts for the staging."

Scarlett Johansson


Scarlett Johansson claims nobody ogled her when she stripped off for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.

The ‘Lost In Translation’ star - who was photographed naked with British actress Keira Knightley - insists no one took a second look when the pair’s underwear was removed.

Scarlett told Esquire magazine: “We were going to be wearing thongs but the stylist snipped them off. Here we are, Keira and I, and we’re totally naked, and some guy is on his BlackBerry. Everyone was busy working. But I guess it’s better than if they were all looking at me. It was surprisingly comfortable.”

Meanwhile, Scarlett has vowed to strip for a movie - one day.

The ‘Black Dahlia’ actress, famed for her curves, insists she is ready to bare-all for the right part.

She said: “I’m still making up my mind about when I’ll do a nude scene. I’m not opposed to doing nudity, it would just have to be the right project, maybe some sensational European art film.”
