Winslet predicted to win; Eclipse date released

Kate Winslet says critical acclaim means nothing if her parents don't like her work.

The British actress - who is up for a Best Actress gong for her role in The Reader at Sunday's Academy Awards - insists the opinions of her mother and father are much more important to her than those of her Hollywood peers.

She says, "My dad's an actor and he's very opinionated and has specific tastes so it's not always that they've seen a film I've been in and they have lots of things to say or are extremely moved.

The document, circulating on the internet, names Kate Winslet as best actress for her role in The Reader.

The list, which features an authentic-looking letterhead, also claims British film Slumdog Millionaire will bag the best picture and best director prizes.

Oscar organisers, however, have insisted the list is a fraud and that votes which of the nominees have won are still being counted.

"You can't pull me away from my house as easily as you used to, because I've got a nine-month-old thing on me and it's heaven.

The George Lopez actress, Constance Marie and her fiance, Kent Katich, have welcomed their first child, a girl that they named Luna Marie. Somehow they were able to keep this news hush hush over the last 2 1/2 weeks! The little girl was born in Santa Monica on February 5th, and weighed 8 lbs., 13 oz. How were they able to do that? I bet half of Hollywoods actors and actresses would love to know!
