Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet unite for Farrelly Brothers' short

The Farrelly brothers are at it again.

The producing duo, best known for gigglefests like "There's Something About Mary," shot scenes with Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet this week at the Thompson Gild Hall hotel in the Financial District. An industry source confirms that the work will be a part of a series of shorts.

According to an onlooker, Jackman and Winslet broke for lunch at the Libertine after wrapping up work on the light-hearted set. "It's certainly a comedy," the source says. "They were laughing the whole time."

Should 'Mad Men' be set in the 1950s, not 60s? One fan thinks so

"Mad Men" may be a cult classic, but not everyone is pleased with the show's rendering of the 1960s advertising world.

"I once did a radio show, and they had these two old-time ad guys on, one of whom was just Mr. Cranky-pants," Michael Gladis, who plays Paul Kinsey, confided at a bash for the Brooks Brothers Mad Men Edition suit in NYC on Tuesday night. "He couldn't say anything but, 'You guys are getting it wrong — you should be set in the '50s. This is nothing like it was.' I was put in the rare position of defending the show. Usually, we're lucky enough to be well praised, but it was kind of fun to defend it."

What's nearly two billion dollars look like in 3-D?

More than 10 years after becoming king of the movie world, James Cameron's Titanic may soon be padding its $1.8 billion worldwide gross with a 3-D rerelease, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade paper says the upcoming rerelease of the Toy Story films has got other studios around town looking to pull films out of the vault and back into theaters with some souped-up effects.

So if you've ever wondered what Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet would look like if she were stretching her arms out right toward your face, well, dreams do come true....

Kate Winslet | Documentary | The Sunshine Boy | Fridrik Thor Fridriksson | Autism - Oneindia Entertainment

Quote:

Washington, (ANI): Brit actress Kate Winslet is all set to narrate a new documentary about an Icelandic mother trying to come to terms with her son’s autism.

Buzz up!
Winslet, 33, was compelled to agree to do the narration for director Fridrik Thor Fridriksson’s The Sunshine Boy after she watched footage that he had sent her. The film chronicles film producer Margret Dagmar Ericsdottir as she struggles to understand her severely autistic son Keli.

“I am delighted and honoured that Kate agreed to do the narration,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying. “Her contribution plays an instrumental role in increasing awareness for autism, which many claim is the world's fastest-growing epidemic,” she added.

The Sunshine Boy is expected to receive rave reviews when it debuts as part of the Real to Reel section of the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12. The flick will feature musical contributions from Icelandic stars Bjork and Sigur Ros.

Winslet Game for `Mildred Pierce'

By: Mike Fleming

Kate Winslet is attached to "Mildred Pierce," a miniseries adaptation based on the James M. Cain novel that Todd Haynes is writing and directing. Sources said that HBO is the lead contender to get the mini, but payweb sources said no deal has been struck.

Cain's tale was famously turned into a 1945 film that won Joan Crawford an Oscar for the lead role of a bored housewife who gets into the restaurant business, an enterprise that leads to back-stabbing, romance and murder.

The involvement of Winslet--right after her Oscar-winning performance in "The Reader" and her work in "Revolutionary Road"--underscores how much paywebs like HBO have become prestige venues for films that might vanish as theatrical releases, a fact underscored by the success of "Grey Gardens," which garnered Emmy noms for Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.

Haynes directed "I'm Not There," "Safe" and "Far From Heaven

50 Actors We'd Watch in Anything

The first 25 -- like Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Denzel Washington -- in our countdown of performers whose name in the credits forces us to give even the most dubious TV or movie project the benefit of the doubt.

#1. KATE WINSLET
Beautiful without being untouchably glamorous, warm without being cutesy, Kate Winslet is the kind of actress that women would actually want to befriend. Because she's so real and accessible in her performances, it's easy to empathize with her characters, even when they're having ill-advised affairs (Little Children, her Oscar-winning turn in The Reader) or acting like basket cases (Heavenly Creatures, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) or, you know, at the center of a terrible chick flick (The Holiday). Also: Winslet is, hands down, the best crier on the big screen. Just seeing her face start to screw up sends me running for a tissue. —Dawnie Walton

Kate Winslet announced on Tuesday that she was “delighted” to win a payout of $40,000 from a British newspaper that said she lied about her exercise plan

Quote:

“I am delighted that the Mail have apologized for making false allegations about me,” Winslet said in the statement. “I was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regime, and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise.”

Glamour magazine selected its top 50 most glamorous women of the year for the June issue, based on a panel of judges and online reader polls.

Kate Winslet - The 2009 TIME 100 - TIME

Quote:

Kate Winslet
By Peter Jackson

I worked with Kate on her first movie, Heavenly Creatures, in 1993. She was 17 years old, and people are always asking me, "Did you have any idea she'd become a movie star?" To be truthful, I did. It was evident to everyone who worked on the movie that Kate was going to have a huge career.

When we cast Kate, she had been making sandwiches in a London lunch bar in between auditions for film and TV work. Kate instantly impressed us with her fierce intelligence, her mature view of the world (which was way beyond her years) and, above all, her courage as an actor. Kate is fearless; her willingness to take risks, unflinching honesty and ability to slip inside the skin of a character and bring flawed and real people to life onscreen are rare talents. She commits 110% to a role. You cannot ask for more.

My family and I have seen Kate, 33, socially over the years, and I'm always delighted to find her unchanged by all the nuttiness that surrounds movie actors. She's always been the Kate we know and love, a down-to-earth person with a wicked sense of humor who will happily lie on the floor playing with the kids.

Back in 1993, we had a strong sense of what was in store for Kate, but it took a while. Miramax delayed the release of Heavenly Creatures for almost a year, and we had no choice but to wait for the film's premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Kate was right on the cusp of a wonderful career, but for a few months, she couldn't get work and had to return to her job at the lunch bar. It must have been terribly frustrating for her, but Kate never does anything she doesn't believe in, and I bet they were fantastic sandwiches!

The Critics Choice Awards are voted for by 200 TV and Radio and Online Film Critics from the US and Canada.

Kate Winslet steals the headline for us with her win of Best Supporting Actress in “The Reader” but she was unable to attend the event because she was attending the David Letterman Show for filming. Anne Hathaway had the dubious honour of sharing the Best Actress Award with non other than Meryl Streep.
