Kate Winslet has had a few relationships go awry in her time, but who hasn't? Now she's married to some Ned Rocknroll bro, and while it may seem like any man with that name is probably not capable of going the distance, Kate has learned a lot over the years and she's sure now she can make it work.
From Harper's Bazaar:
"I've really learnt a great deal about myself, in the last four years in particular," she said. "I think I can see more clearly now - about how the pattern of past experiences has shaped...
I loved The Hunger Games book trilogy, and while I thought the movie was only good rather than great (as most big screen adaptations of books tend to be, unfortunately), I'm pretty pumped for the second installment, Catching Fire, that's due to hit theatres in November. Plus, the visual effects, costumes and make-up are fantastic, which makes the artwork/promotional posters a lot of fun to look at. Check out the new shot of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen above, and then scroll through some others below.

Gay marriage needs to be legal. That's not a question, but rather a statement. While I'm hopeful that it will happen within my lifetime not only nationally but worldwide, there's still some hurdles to get over, and it only helps the cause when celebrities - gay and straight alike - speak out in support of legislation which grants equal rights to all couples, regardless of gender. Ellen DeGeneres, who has been married to partner Portia de Rossi for four years, did just that on her official website this week, addressing the Supreme Court in a heartfelt and hilarious letter that's worth giving a read:
California’s Proposition 8 is headed to the Supreme Court. Hundreds of companies and families as well as Republicans are submitting briefs urging the 9 judges to allow gay people to marry. I thought that was ridiculous. Why would judges want all of that underwear? Then, after a quick talk with some people, I found out what a brief was.
I’ve never filed a brief to the Supreme Court, so I thought I would post mine here. I’m sure someone will tweet it to them.
Portia and I have been married for 4 years and they have been the happiest of my life. And in those 4 years, I don’t think we hurt anyone else’s marriage. I asked all of my neighbors and they say they’re fine.
But even though Portia and I got married in the short period of time when it was legal in California, there are 1,138 federal rights for married couples that we don’t have, including some that protect married people from losing their homes, or their savings or custody of their children.
The truth is, Portia and I aren’t as different from you as you might think. We’re just trying to find happiness in the bodies and minds we were given, like everyone else.
Coming out was one of the hardest things I ever did. I didn’t intend to be on the cover of Time magazine saying, “Yep, I’m gay.” The truth is, I don’t even remember saying that. I mean, I definitely said the “I’m gay” part. It’s the “yep” I don’t remember. I’m not really a “yep” person. “Yes siree Bob” maybe. But not “yep."
In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “We’re here, we’re queer, get over it.” And there’s another famous quote that says “A society is judged by how it treats its weakest members.” I couldn’t agree with that more. No one’s really sure who said it first, so if anyone asks, tell them I said it.
I hope the Supreme Court will do the right thing, and let everyone enjoy the same rights. It’s going to help keep families together. It’s going to make kids feel better about who they are. And it is time.
*I was just told Benjamin Franklin did not say that first quote. I apologize and see that I have a lot to learn about stuff.
Ugh, I love Ellen and I love her love for Portia (and Portia's love for her) and there's just too much love here, OKAY? In all seriousness, it's absolutely ridiculous that giving all people equal rights is still a conversation we're having rather than something that's guaranteed to everyone. I can't tell you not to own 56 shotguns, but you can tell me who I can and cannot spend my life with? F-ck off. Let's get this shit changed, stat. />Gay marriage needs to be legal.

Kylie Jenner is only 14 - an age at which I was still playing with dolls (I liked doing their hair and I was a late bloomer, OKAY?) - but she's apparently in a relationship with Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith. The pair were spotted going to lunch in London over the weekend, making me wonder if they were two of the underage kids turned away from Justin Bieber's circus party.
From US Weekly:
Jaden Smith has been keeping up with Kylie Jenner! The 14-year-old Karate Kid actor recently began romancing the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal. "They're dating," says a source. "It's new, but they've been friends forever."
The young stars were most recently spotted together on a lunch date at Caffe Nero in London's famous Piccadilly Square on Sunday, March 3. Jaden -- who next appears in the movie After Earth, opposite his famous dad Will Smith -- was in town to celebrate his pal Justin Bieber's 19th birthday.
I don't have any commentary on this. It's just... whatever. />Kylie Jenner is only 14 - an age at which I was still playing with dolls (I liked doing their hair and I was a late bloomer, OKAY?) - but she's apparently in a relationship with Will Smith's son, Jaden Smith.

I'm just going to let James Franco dig his crater a bit deeper here.
From Attitude (via Metro):
The straight heartthrob insists he’s accepted the question mark over his sexuality, which wasn’t helped when he volunteered to perform oral sex on a bloke in his 2011 flick The Broken Tower.
‘One of the things that’s very much part of my public image is the question of my sexuality,’ the 34-year-old conceeded, ‘it’s not something that bothers me in the slightest. It hasn’t gone away and I get asked about it from all sides. It’s partly my doing and partly not my doing.’
While the 127 Hours star insists he’s comfortable with his sexuality, he reckons it’s high time big name Hollywood stars come out despite fears gay stars can’t win straight roles.
‘I think that the people I have known who are performers who haven’t publicly come out didn’t because they’re afraid it’ll hurt their careers. And they’re afraid they won’t be able to play straight roles anymore,’ said Franco.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much, if you get my drift. Like, no man who wishes he could give a real life blowjob (and does it at every opportunity on inanimate objects) can sit there and say he's straight. Unfortunately, shit like this still matters to some people. I say the more the merrier - like what you like, suck what you want to suck and everyone just be happy. Just shut up about it already. />I'm just going to let James Franco dig his crater a bit deeper here.

Snooki hasn't been interested in her partying days for a while now, but she's still having epiphanies about just how empty her life before giving birth to baby Lorenzo was. Y'all know I hate "motherhood made me less selfish" stories with a passion (seriously, get your head out of your own ass, single/childless people), but Nicole Polizzi is one person who I can truly believe it affected in such a way. She went from throwing up on New Jersey beaches to changing diapers and talking about politics. I'm not sure what...
If you want to put the Queen back in hospital, tell her you're having a girl rather than a son who can carry on the royal lineage. We don't know that that's the case, of course, but Kate Middleton may or may not have inadvertently hinted that this baby of hers is of the lady variety.
From The Telegraph:
It was the merest slip of the tongue, but the Duchess of Cambridge may just have given away the sex of her baby as she chatted to a member of the public on a visit to Grimsby on Tuesday.

The whole Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian saga is something out of a Lifetime movie centered on suburban high school kids with too few things to do in town and too much internet access. Basically what happened was this: Rob and Rita were sleeping together and "hanging out", as the young folks do, which Rob considered a relationship. That relationship ended last year because of the whole "long distance" thing being too difficult, and Rob didn't take that so well, instead getting fat and going to his ...
LaToya Jackson is trying to cash in on Michael Jackson's death by, well, cashing in on his kids and getting them on TV. Here's the deal: LaToya signed all three - Prince, Blanket and Paris - to the Ja-Tail Enterprises talent agency, which totally isn't even a real thing and has no other clients. Since starting this venture, she's put them right out on the ho stroll. Paris has been signed up to a movie that'll start shooting over the summer and Prince is a new corespondent for Entertainment Tonight and will also appear on 90210, though I'd...
Poor, poor LeAnn Rimes. All she does is get bullied and shit upon and no one will leave her alone. Well, guess what! She's not having it anymore. No sir, she won't apologise and feel bad for breaking up a family and being a total prick about it. No more! The phoenix will rise from the ashes once more!
From Metro:
Did you feel a need to explain yourself?
You’ve done a lot of frank US TV interviews recently… Yes. People have been judging me, so I felt a need to explain and apologise, which I’ve done many times. Now I no longer feel that need. I’m happy and happily marri...
