Sally Winslet Is an Award-Winning Onion Pickler

partysugar — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:45:58 -0800

Looks like Oscar nominee Kate Winslet isn't the only award winner in her family. The British actress's mother, Sally Winslet, affectionately known as the "Queen of Shallots," is an award-winning pickler. Yesterday Sally won the annual onion pickling contest at her local East Reading pub, the Retreat. This is the third year in a row that Sally's pickled onions won the competition. Upon accepting her title, Winslet explained what made her onions so special:

There are a lot of good onions here. I just boil up the spices with sugar and when the balsamic vinegar is cold I pour it over the onions.

Over the past six months, pickling has become incredibly popular, and Anna Winslet, Kate's sister and Sally's daughter, who was on hand at the competition, couldn't have put it better when she said, "Everyone should be a pickler." No word on Kate's pickling skills, although she is known to be an enthusiastic, yet accident-prone cook.

Are you surprised to learn that Winslet's mother is an award-winning onion pickler? Do you pickle?

Kate Winslet Has a Schedule Full With Kids and Costars

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

Kate Winslet was on school run duty Tuesday as she picked up kids Mia and Joe in NYC. She's enjoying a little break between projects as she spends time in the Big Apple with her kids, though Kate is rumored to be attached to an upcoming project for HBO. She may be chilling out, but her legal team has been working overtime to secure her a victory in a libel suit against the Daily Mail newspaper. Hopefully Kate had a spare minute to put in a birthday phone call to her good friend Leonardo DiCaprio - he just turned 35 and we celebrated with a walk down memory lane.

Kate Winslet Wins Libel Damages Over Exercise Disbelief

PopSugarUK — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:47:39 -0800

Kate Winslet has accepted £25,000 from The Daily Mail after the newspaper disputed her comments about her exercise regime.

Kate filed papers in May saying she was distressed by the feature, which was published in January and disputed a quote in which she said that she didn't go to the gym, but does twenty minutes of pilates DVDs every day. The Mail published an apology in September, accepting that she was not lying, and agreed to pay damages and costs. Kate wasn't present at the High Court yesterday, when the settlement was agreed, but stated:

"I am delighted that the Mail have apologised for making false allegations about me. 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. I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy."

Kate's Post-Oscar Break Could Lead to an Emmy Next

PopSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:30:00 -0700

Kate Winslet stopped to help her son Joe adjust his hood before the pair headed home together Tuesday afternoon in NYC. Earlier this week Kate reunited with her Flushed Away costar Hugh Jackman on the set of the Farrelly Brothers latest project, which is a series of short films. While Hugh's schedule's been jam packed with blockbusters - and preparing for screen time with Robert Pattinson- Kate's been taking it easy this year. She supported her husband Sam as he promoted Away We Go and the only project currently on her horizon is the possible cable miniseries Mildred Pierce.

Fab Flash: Kate Winslet Plays the Dame

FabSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:00:22 -0700

UPDATE: Winslet's publicist has confirmed that the actress will not be playing Westwood in her upcoming biopic stating that the rumors are "not at all true.” Vivienne Westwood's reps also denied the claim, “The script has not even been finished yet, let alone casting. Kate Winslet was just one of many names that were mentioned as possibles to play Vivienne, but this whole thing has been blown completely out of proportion.”

Vivienne Westwood has chosen Kate Winslet to play in her upcoming biopic. "The script is going well and Kate will play Vivienne. It has been a long time in the planning but we're very excited that it's happening," said a Westwood representative.

Winslet - note her resemblance to the designer - will spend time with Westwood to refine her portrayal of the eccentric designer. The untitled, Universal production is said to take viewers through the Dame's beginnings as a punk roots designer to becoming a highly touted, worldwide success. Fabulous.

The Ladies Went All Out With Their Gorgeous Gowns

PopSugar — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:29:47 -0800

The women wore a variety of colors on the red carpet but one thing was clear on Hollywood's biggest night - they were all glowing. Colors ranged from beautiful blue, which was worn by the lovely Freida Pinto, pretty pink on petite Natalie Portman and ravishing reds as seen on Amy Adams and Heidi Klum. Some looked like princesses in their full gowns like Sarah Jessica Parker and Miley Cyrus. Both wore their very detailed dresses differently but they looked belted and beautiful.

Those that kept away from color still stood out in basic black or light whites. Angelina used her green earrings to capture our attention while Anne Hathaway sparkled in her metallic gown. Anne's dress had plastic sequins, which made it pretty difficult for her to walk into the theater but the dress sparkled with all the lights on her. Jessica Biel went for a dramatic bow while Penelope marked her special night with a vintage gown that was over 60 years old. Kate Winslet looked classic as well as Meryl Streep who was mobbed by the Slumdog kids - who were so excited to ask her for an autograph. It was one of the highlights from the red carpet, along with updo wearing Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz being the last of the ladies to head into the theater arm in arm.

There are tons of more photos of all the ladies at the Oscars, so be sure to read more.
