Weighty Matters

Kate Winslet has always prided herself on feeling comfortable in her own skin, and god help the person who says she doesn't! Kate has threatened to sue British magazine Grazia over claims that she's been seeing a diet specialist in L.A., People reports. Last week, Grazia ran a story alleging that Kate visited the Chinese Healing Institute in Santa Monica, Calif. to help with neck pain -- and to lose weight. "I'm going to fight for myself. I don't want people thinking that I would ever go to a diet doctor, I would ever buy into that stuff," Kate told a BBC radio interviewer. "I never have done, I never will." You go, girl!

See, this is why we love Kate. She refuses to bow to Hollywood's sickly skinny trend -- and she could so kick those emaciated bobble heads' butts!

"I will continue to say what I feel about this issue of women being thin and emaciated. It's just out of control," Kate said. "I know I'm a role model to young women. It's a role that I take very, very seriously and I would never want anyone to ever think I was a hypocrite in doing something like going to a diet doctor, for goodness sake. I mean, it's really, really ridiculous."

You Say!
