Body of lies?
March 18th, 2010 | 
Author: Now that Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes have announced their separation and impending divorce, the tabloids are in a frenzy to romantically link them to fellow celebrities that both have worked with on more than one occasion. Mendes is reportedly being comforted (euphemism for having sex with) by actress Rebecca Hall and Winslet consoled by former co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, obviously…
Apparently Winslet had become ‘increasingly frustrated’ with Mendes’s ‘closeness’ to Rebecca Hall. The director had recently cast the ‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ actress in two of his theatre projects (i.e definitely doing it) in London and New York.
A source apparently close to Winslet said:
“When Kate found out that Sam had grown close to Rebecca she was upset. Rebecca is totally Sam’s type - a thespian mix of brains and beauty.”
Someone shoot that source, please.
Meanwhile, Winslet is apparently being comforted by Leonardo DiCaprio (because they starred as lovers in two films) despite the fact that she is now in Mexico being comforted by Emma Thompson (literally this time, they’re not lezzing up – as far as we’re aware, anyway).
Another source, less pompous than the first one, said:
“Since Kate’s marriage started to go south, around the time they were filming Revolutionary Road, they’ve [DiCaprio and Winslet] got closer again. Kate has always really adored Leo and feels like she can tell him anything.
“They were thrust into stardom together and were the only people who knew what the other was going through. He’s been a rock for her.”
Before finally adding:
“Leo and Kate have been like brother and sister.”
Which is probably just one of the reasons that they haven’t been shagging…

Kate Winslet supported by Leonardo
Kate Winslet has reportedly turned to her ‘Revolutionary Road’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio for support following the breakdown of her marriage to director Sam Mendes.
Kate Winslet is being supported through her marriage break-up by Leonardo DiCaprio.
The actress turned to her ‘Titanic’ co-star when problems started to surface in her relationship with director Sam Mendes as the trio worked together on 2008 movie ‘Revolutionary Road’ and she is said to be relying on his support to get through this difficult time.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Leonardo and Kate have been like brother and sister since they starred in ‘Titanic’ together.
“And since Kate’s marriage problems started, around the time they were filming ‘Revolutionary Road’, they have got closer again. Kate feels like she can tell Leonardo anything.
“They were thrust into stardom together and were the only people who knew what the other was going through. He’s been a rock for her.”
While Kate – who is currently holidaying in Mexico with her two children, six-year-old son Joe and Mia, her nine-year-old daughter from her marriage to Jim Threapleton – has a close friendship with Leonardo, Sam’s bond with actress Rebecca Hall, 27, was reportedly the cause of many of their rows.
The director first met Rebecca in 2006 on the set of movie ‘Starter For 10′ – who he acted as executive producer on – and worked on two theatre productions, ‘A Winter’s Tale’ and ‘The Cherry Orchard’, in New York and London as part of his Bridge Project theatre company last summer.
A source said: “Sam is a huge admirer of Rebecca’s work. He really worked well with her. There’s no suggestion of anything untoward but undoubtedly the friendship didn’t help mend their struggling relationship.”
It has also been claimed the end of their six-year marriage came about after a row over conflicting work schedules, with 44-year-old Sam lined up to direct the new James Bond film in London and Kate, 34, planning to star in a US TV comedy show.
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Sam raised several questions over whether she should be doing it, insisting she was above a TV script and it wouldn’t progress her career. Not surprisingly, Kate went ballistic.”
Kate and Sam – who married in May 2003 – announced their split on Monday (15.03.10) but friends claim they have been living apart for several months.

A thoroughly British affair as Carey Mulligan and Colin Firth triumph at Baftas
22 FEBRUARY 2010
With her newly dyed blonde crop and a floor length red carpet gown, Carey Mulligan looked every inch a Hollywood star as she arrived for the prestigious BAFTA awards ceremony on Sunday evening.
And her status as the film world’s hottest new talent was further cemented when the British 24-year-old beat off competition from Meryl Streep and Audrey Tautou to win this year’s best actress award.
London-born Carey was honoured on her home turf for her role in An Education, in which she stars as a 1960s schoolgirl seduced by an older man.
Presented with her trophy by Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke – Carey is also nominated at this year’s Academy Awards – the leading lady was clearly delighted with the result.
Waving to her proud family in the audience as she made her acceptance speech, the actress admitted she “didn’t think in a million years that this would happen.”.
Continuing the success of the Brits at the annual gathering was Colin Firth who beat stars including George Clooney and Jeff Bridges to win the best actor award.
The handsome 49-year-old, who takes the lead in Tom Ford‘s directorial debut, A Single Man, as a gay grief-stricken academic, was presented his gong by last year’s best actress, Kate Winslet.
Talking about his decision to take on the role, Colin told the star-studded audience: “What Tom Ford doesn’t know is I have the email in my outbox telling him I could not possibly do this.”
“I was about to send this when a man came to repair my fridge. I don’t know what’s best for me so I would like to thank the fridge guy.”
Colin – also nominated at the Oscars – thanked the talented director for leaving him “resuscitated, a little more worldy, better groomed, more fragrant and more nominated than one has even been before.”
The Hurt Locker was named best film and earned Kathryn Bigelow the best director award – the first woman to win the prize.
Kathryn, who beat ex-husband and Avatar director James Cameron to the prize, said the win was “really amazing and humbling.”
Inglourious Basterds‘ Christopher Waltz was named best supporting actor while Monique picked up the supporting actress award for her turn in Precious.
American actress Kristen Stewart was presented with the rising star prize – voted for by the public.
Watched by her rumoured love interest and co-star Robert Pattinson in the crowd, the 19-year-old thanked Twilight supporters for being “the most devoted and attentive fans ever.”
And Vanessa Redgrave received a standing ovation at the event – hosted by Jonathan Ross – when she was presented with the Bafta fellowship award by Uma Thurman and Prince William.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO’S WINSLET PAL
Leonardo DiCaprio claims his ‘Titanic’ and ‘Revolutionary Road’ co-star Kate Winslet is one of his ”dearest” friends.
Leonardo DiCaprio remains close to Kate Winslet.
The 35-year-old actor, who first worked with Kate on 1997 blockbuster movie ‘Titanic’, admitted the film had a profound effect on both of them because of the media attention it heaped on them.
He said: “It wasn’t the era of penetrating internet paparazzi that we have now. But my name wasn’t me anymore. I was sort of this thing.
“Kate felt it too. But a lot of the attention was on me because of the teenage girls who repeatedly went to see the movie. I had the blond hair, and I was Jack Dawson, this heroic figure.”
Despite having to act out a sex scene in their second movie together, ‘Revolutionary Road’, in front of Kate’s director husband Sam Mendes, Leonardo said it wasn’t hard to do.
He told Esquire magazine: “Kate Winslet is one of my dearest friends. We have the ultimate trust in each other and the best of intentions for what we want to do. I knew Kate before Sam Mendes even met her.
“So on the outside, it may seem strange to do a sex scene with a woman while her husband is directing. But it didn’t feel that way to me.”
