Kate Winslet tells Allure in the June issue that when filming “The Reader,” she had to grow in the hair “down there,” so to speak.
She tells Allure, “because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn’t come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin (wig) because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough.”
Alrighty then!
After a number of conflicting reports surfaced in the media, it’s official that media darlings Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are returning to the jungle to complete their run on NBC’s I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.
The duo had already tried to quit the NBC reality show twice, and went as far as planting decoys at LAX to give the illusion that the couple had returned home.
Their childish antics will not go without consequences according to NBC’s Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming Paul Telegdy. In an exclusive statement to Ryan Seacrest, Telegdy explained how Speidi will be dealt with back in the jungle:
“They are everything that’s wrong with America…they are insincere, lazy, entitled and they claim the devil has possessed them.
They are back and this time they are contrite…yeah right. What they don’t realise is that they are now going to be examined and their value system utterly deconstructed.
They are going to spend the night somewhere in isolation and guarded with lots of surprises…but not traditional reality [stunts].
These people really are going to bare their souls.”
Despite intense pain in her ankle due to an injury, she puts on an ankle brace and finishes the project with a limp.

Heidi and Spencer Pratt begged for forgiveness on last night’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
After quitting and then changing their minds (as NBC first exclusively confirmed to Usmagazine.com), the duo made a hilarious mea culpa from the jungle live.
“We realized that we made a big mistake and that the devil got to us and said, ‘Get out of the jungle,” Heidi explained of their decision to leave. “[But] it’s not even about us. It’s about the charity, and it’s about the experience here, and we really took that for granted.”
Added Spencer: “It took us getting out of the situation to realize that we had lost our mind.
“We’re pleading insanity!” chimed in Heidi.
“They should have brought a straight jacket, night one, on me,” Spencer continued. “I should have been in the white room…I lost my mind. I love all those people and I think they’re amazing and I cannot wait to learn from their experience because they all have unique backgrounds. I looked at the whole experience selfishly. I’m here for good. I don’t even know if I’m ever going home back home!
(A different attitude than Spencer’s “I’m the only celebrity here!” outburst from Tuesday night’s show.)
The couple’s objective: “We want to thank America, and try to win back everyone. We want to win for our charities. And we miss everyone,” Heidi said.
The episode ended with the group voting on whether the Pratts could return.
“Oh please, Jesus, please let them take us back!” Heidi said with her hands folded, as the host announced their punishment: a night in the dark chamber — with rats and spiders.
It’s official: Angelina Jolie is the most powerful celebrity in the world.
So says Forbes magazine’s annual Celebrity 100 list, released today.
The star — who earned $27 million last year — knocked Oprah Winfrey out of the top spot, which the talk show host has held for the past two years.
Winfrey earned a whopping $275 million last year, but Jolie — who was No. 3 in 2008 — still got more press.
Madonna came in No. 3 this year thanks to her Hard Candy tour and all the media coverage surrounding her split from Guy Ritchie and “affair of the heart” with Alex Rodriguez, which Us Weekly first reported.
Beyonce Knowles earned $87 million and ranked No. 4, while Tiger Woods came in at No. 5 with $110 million — making him the highest-paid athlete in the world (despite having to sit out for eight months with a knee injury last year).
Jennifer Aniston came in at No. 8, earning $25 million — and beating ex Brad Pitt, who ranked No. 9 (but took home $28 million).
Barack Obama became the first active president to appear in the list, coming in at No. 49.
Also in the rankings: Ryan Seacrest (No. 44 with $38 million), Miley Cyrus (No. 29) and Taylor Swift (No. 69.)
