James Cameron alledgely called her 'Kate Weighs-A-lot on the set of titanic. Then she won a Body of the Year poll in England. Could reaction to Kate winslet's weight be any more schizoid? At least she hasn't become that way. The 23 year-old actor who just marred associate director Jim Threapleton, who worked on her new film Hideous Kinky, has addmitted to starving herself in the past. But she's over that now. "Why do we keep talking about women's bodies?" she freaked to the British press. "I'm a normal human being, we all go up and down. there are so many girls whose minds are so messed up by this, and I think it should just stop". We'd hate to be the last to cite a guy' opnion as being definitive, especially here. But let Kate do relate a message from Leonardo DiCaprio: "He told me, 'You're always gonna have that "I'm a fat girl" thing. Forget it you're gorgeous'". Sounds like she already has.
