June 4, 201311 yr Kate is pregnant Kate Winslet Expecting Third Child Kate Winslet is pregnant!The Titanic actress, 37, and her husband Ned Rocknroll are expecting their first child together, PEOPLE has confirmed with her rep exclusively. “Kate and Ned are delighted” over the news, the rep adds. Despite her previous marriages ending in divorce, Winslet — also mom to daughter Mia, 12, and son Joe, 9 — always knew she wanted to expand her family further. “I’m hoping to have more kids,” Winslet told InStyle in 2006. “I don’t know whether one or two. Oh, God, I would love to have more.” The Oscar-, Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning actress and Rocknroll, 34 — who is the nephew of Richard Branson — tied the knot in a secret ceremony in December after they began dating in the fall of 2011. http://celebritybabi...ng-third-child/

June 7, 201311 yr Telegraph article criticising Kate Winslet for third baby with third husband branded misogynisticAn article criticising Kate Winslet for having three babies by three fathers has provoked an angry response online.In her Telegraph article, which appeared under the headline ‘will it be third time lucky for calamity Kate Winslet?’, Judith Woods branded the Hollywood actress ‘tacky’.Winslet, 37, confirmed this week she was pregnant, six months after marrying Sir Richard Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll, who changed his name from Abel Smith.She already has a daughter, 12-year-old Mia, from her marriage to Jim Threapleton, and a nine-year-old son, Joe, from her marriage to Sam Mendes.Ms Woods described Winslet’s husband as the ‘latest love of her life’.‘Three children by three different fathers doesn’t look good on anyone,’ she wrote.‘Falling in love and marrying and having a baby and breaking up and then doing it again (and possibly again?) stretches credulity, undermines your credibility, and the fallout for the little human beings you’ve brought into the world is too awful to contemplate.’She added: ‘So Kate, when it comes to putting your husband’s name on the birth certificate, it might be worth reconsidering. Not only because “Rocknroll” is stupid and juvenile, but also because on current form, there’ll be another husband along shortly to take his place.’The article was originally tweeted by the Telegraph’s ‘Wonder Women’ account, but moderators later claimed it had been ‘wrongly tagged in our section and therefore wrongly auto-tweeted’.Following its publication Kate Winslet’s name became a top trending topic on Twitter, with hundreds of users criticising the article.Dawn Foster of the Guardian wrote: ‘Wow, atrociously sexist, shaming article on the Telegraph berating Kate Winslet for having kids by different fathers.’Fashion blogger Poppy Dinsey branded it a ‘really embarrassing article’.The @everydaysexism account meanwhile asked its followers to contact the Telegraph if they believed the article was a ‘disgusting and shameful piece of misogynistic nonsense’.http://metro.co.uk/2013/06/06/telegraph-article-criticising-kate-winslet-for-third-baby-with-third-husband-branded-misogynistic-3830792/ June 06
June 7, 201311 yr Kate Winslet keen to name baby number three after Richard Branson's mother Eve KATE Winslet and her husband Ned Rocknroll are said to be thinking of naming their unborn child Eve, after Sir Richard Branson's mother.The 37-year-old actress, who announced she was pregnant this week, believes the name will ensure that their baby has a tie between them and Ned's family, and also it holds meaning after Kate saved Eve from a fire at Sir Richard's Necker Island home.It was the same holiday in which Kate and Ned first met back in 2011 and began their romance shorty afterwards."Eve is one of the names Ned and Kate have thought of," a source told The Sun. "They want it to mean something and it would be a great reminder of how they met - and can keep a strong connection with Ned's family." The 'Titantic' star, who already has two children from her previous marriages, is expected to give birth at the end of the year and are keen to find a new family home before then. "They want a bigger house for when the baby arrives," the source added. Kate married Sir Richard's nephew in December 2012 in a private ceremony in New York City. http://www.express.co.uk/news/showbiz/405496/Kate-Winslet-keen-to-name-baby-number-three-after-Richard-Branson-s-mother-Eve June 06
June 8, 201311 yr Telegraph slams 'slut shaming' Telegraph Kate Winslet articleThe Daily Telegraph has published a second opinion piece attacking a previous article by another of its writers about Kate Winslet's pregnancy.The first piece by Judith Woods was headlined "Three babies by three fathers - will it be third time lucky for Calamity Kate Winslet?"The article claimed that the actress's two children would be unhappy and damaged by their mother having a third child by a third father."Three children by three different fathers doesn't look good on anyone," said Woods."I know that you are a woman of grand, towering passions and deep, gushy emotion, but you are steering perilously close to clinching the Ulrika Jonsson Dysfunctionality Award for Services to Broken Britain."She added: "Falling in love and marrying and having a baby and breaking up and then doing it again (and possibly again?) stretches credulity, undermines your credibility, and the fallout for the little human beings you've brought into the world is too awful to contemplate."Several readers criticised the piece in its comments section and via Twitter, and the newspaper's Wonder Woman channel noted that the piece was not by one of its writers."Not our writer or commission or view," the account said. "Got tagged in our section. And one person's views.""I was infuriated to read Judith Woods's hateful article on Kate Winslet earlier today," said Zoe Margolis, slamming the "sexist double standard" of the piece in a response article.Margolis's own article was headlined "Slut-shaming Kate Winslet exposes sexist double standard applied to women"."The Woods piece is seething with outrage and judgement; but what has Winslet done to deserve such treatment?" she said."She has had multiple loving relationships and children with each partner."It continued: "Critical assumptions and moralising over the choices women make have no place in journalism and are damaging, not just to the person who's being written about, but to women as a whole."She concluded: "I would like to see an end to these shameless, gratuitously sexist pieces and the slut-shaming of women for behaviours men are rarely criticised for. I live in hope."
June 9, 201311 yr People should feel ashamed for picking on pregnant Kate Winslet for having three kids by three different menIt's such a double standard that men don't get attacked in the way that women doI read a really great piece in The Sun today by Ulrika Jonsson.She's defending the gorgeous, talented, and currently pregnant Kate Winslet.Kate's come under fire by some, despite the happy news that she's pregnant for a third time - because she's DARED to have her three kids with more than one man.SERIOUSLY. In this age?! Divorce rates are high. Everyone knows this. And I literally don't understand the Victorian view that Kate's some kind of harlot because she's pregnant for the third time by a man who didn't father her two other kids.I think it's especially great that Ulrika - cruelly nicknamed ‘four by four' by some because she has four children with four different dads - has taken the chance to defend mums who don't conform to the ‘norm' (whatever that is!).Ulrika also brings up the very important point that men who have lots of kids with different women don't get picked on like this!She says: ‘Clint Eastwood has seven children with five different women, Mick Jagger has seven with four. Rod Stewart now has eight kids with five women. These facts are rarely, if ever, mentioned by the same people who pour scorn on and derision on women who have children by more than one man.'Good point, Ulrika - and good on you for standing up for yourself, Kate, and women in general.These men, Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger especially, are treated with no less than 'waheeey, LEGEND'. Yet Kate's a scarlet woman. Excuse me?!As Ulrika goes on to say, we have no idea why Kate Winslet's previous marriages broke up. That's her business. And she has every right to love again, and have more babies, too!Why should we be anything but pleased as punch for one of our most talented actresses and her lovely baby news - and indeed, for women in general who aren't 'lucky' enough to end up with the formulaic nuclear family?Go Ulrika, go Kate - and go ladies in general. Don't let the critics get you down (and especially those ones who ignore the, um, eenie meenie fact that men often have lots of kids with different women, too)!
