All celebrity news seems trivial this week compared to the history-making presidential election, but I will give it a go anyway. This month Kate Winslet is appearing on the cover of Vanity Fair to promote her upcoming film Revolutionary Road. Inside the magazine she discusses how she still feels like the "fat kid" - and critics in her home country are claiming that she still is. British newspaper The Sun says "That magic airbrush has been at work again." The Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph have both gotten digital retouching experts to analyze the photos. Winslet is not taking these accusations lightly. "Kate is furious at suggestions that her body has been airbrushed," her spokesperson told People. "She is in terrific shape and what you see is how she looks."
Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend, Holly Madison, opened up to Extra about her recent split from the playboy. Madison says that she is sad about her breakup but that Hefner should have seen it coming. "I was unhappy for a long, time … the signs were there. I was depressed for a while." For those who watched Girls Next Door, the biggest point of contention appeared to be Holly's desire to get married, and she openly admits that. "I want to be with somebody I can have more of a future with eventually. Hef and I can't get married and have kids, so it was fun while it lasted." Madison also reveals that she has not been kicked out of the mansion. She has been living in the guest house while her apartment is being finished. Madison did manage to get in a couple of digs at her old boyfriend. (And by old, I mean former, not senile). "It might be refreshing to date someone who is not high-maintenance. Sorry, Hef, you know you're high-maintenance."
Angelina Jolie opened up to Harper's Bazaar about the roles she has chosen and explained them to her children. Jolie admits she only chooses characters that she would like to meet. "The type of woman where I think, even if it's silly characters I've played, like in Tomb Raider, there's something about her that will be fun for my daughters to see one day." Jolie admits that the family does not take violence and death lightly. Angelina and Brad explain that there is "real death and violence in the world." Sounds like a blast. I'll stick to the Disney princess classics.
