Note To America: Don't Call Kate Winslet "Irritating"
Filed under: Anglophilia > Legal Matters > Kate Winslet
Take a lesson from the Brit's who had to shell out $40,000 to the Oscar-winning actress for labeling her "The World's Most Irritating Actress". (By the way, we couldn't agree less!)
Kate Winslet won her suit against the Daily Mail, which she sued back in April for their report written in January labeling her as "vain" and accused her of lying about how she keeps in shape.
She and her lawyers settled for $40,000 in damages and accepted it as an apology for their slander. Kate released a statement following the hearing, saying:
"I am delighted that the Mail have apologised for making false allegations about me. I was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regime and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise. I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy."
Bravo!
And, honestly, she has no worries of being labeled that here in the States. Off the top of our heads, we can think of at least two dozen other actresses that we would call irritating over her!
Isn't that right, Lindsay Lohan? Mischa Barton? Sienna Miller? …

"Take a lesson from the Brit's"
Hopefully it'll be about how apostrophes work, you ass-fisting sack of moose poop.
The only thing I find irritating about her is I can't have her!GRRRRRR!!!!!
wtf
why would someone dislike kate??
she is awesome!!
Perez you really need to look at the BIG picture here…Don't you realize that Obama is pushing us to an England type gov't and you would be sued almost every hour!?!? That's freedom of speech being totally disregarded. That's what happens when insist on entitlements like healthcare and you give more and more power to the government! They didn't say anything libel or slanderous..All they said was thier opinion which is obviously illegal in England…Soon to be here in the USA as well. Look past the BS Obama feeds you and see what is really going on!!!
LOVE Kate Winslet! So talented!
my vote goes to sharon stone.
she's one of the only actresses I DON'T find irritating. Someone was obviously jealous of her success and grace over at the Daily Mail.
Go Kate .. really good actress and decent person
Porkez is in the top list of annoying and irritating beings.
Lindsay Lohan? Mischa Barton? Sienna Miller? Angelina Jolie maybe?
leave Sienna alone you fat stupid fuck!
Cee U Next Tuesday.
Gosh, she's a strong woman. Such an inspiration. Bah.
I LOVE Kate Winslet - she's an amazing actress and so beautiful, and she seems like a great person. I loved her in Extras.
How completely hypocritcal that you say 'Bravo!' when you've done/called people way, way worse!!! Should everyone you slam be able to sue you? That would make for a wonderful world.
I love Kate. She seems very down-to-earth with a great sense of humor in interviews. Excellent actress as well.
Kate Winslet is a class act. Gorgeous, talented, classy, and an amazing person and mom and wife. I LOVE her. Kate… will you be my BFF?
Re: Cubish – you're an idiot.
hey im british and i dont see a reason why anyone over here would call her irritating. but it is the daily mail and they obviously cant bare to see a successful working class woman
The Daily Mail is such a Scumbaggy Racist and Homophobic paper, Well done kate, i now have much more respect for you.
I agree with the Brits…she is annoying…winlset and s miller are the same…nasty and douchy…
Re: Cubish – Well done for holding up the american stereotype of an Ignorant moron, the USA is known for it's suing culture, kate is an actress, she has a big ego and has been heavily influenced by america, so she would sue, and as for health care, our healthcare is ranked much higher than The US in the WHO league tables.
Re: smiley010992 – don't lump all Americans in with that idiot, kthx.
I find it very irritating because, frankly, does she need the money? Unless she gives the 44 000$ to charity, it's very irritating and not very good for free press. What IF the person you find the most irritating was suing you, Perez? What about free speech? It's just a word. You can simply reply "NO, I'M NOT goddamn IRRITATING!". No need to ask 44 000$ for that.
Re: sleezy*e – don't worry, I'm well aware the vast majority americans are good and intelligent people.
I remember reading one of your interviews, where you said that you respect celebrities if they're talented! So now tell me what's your description of 'talented', you idiot? Bet you don't even know she can DEFINITELY act because your slow brain is too stupid to understand her films! The only thing your brain can process are reality shows..or Gossip Girl..or High School Musical (and you'll say that Zac Efron is talented..meh)
Love love LOVE Kate Winslet!! I don't understand why those Brit tabloids are so mean and nasty to her. She is a national treasure of England and is no doubt the BEST actress of her generation and definitely in the Top 10 of all time!! Just leave her the fuck alone and let her be beautiful for who she is!!!
I love Kate but I do hope she donates ALL the money and I really hope she learns that there is a HUGE difference between a
REGIME
and a
REGIMEN!!!!!
I'm shocked that someone who learned REAL English (as opposed to Yank English) would get that wrong. Maybe it was a typo.
She is full of herself. She talks about how (un)vain she is, but immediately a paper prints something negative about her, she is calling her lawyer. She really cares about what someone says about her. She has to let it go. She is famous now.
regime? omg
and shes freaking huge
another week another lawsuit against the Daily Mail. they get sued more than micheal jackson. and its always for lieing ad making up facts about people.
She is irritating. I worked at a restaurant in nyc a few years ago. She came in a few different times and each time she was snooty, and a very bad tipper. One night her and her lady friends stayed way past closing, asked if they could smoke in the restaurant to which i gladly replied NO! Finally after many obvious hints they left. such a bitch.
free press….
Ever since I saw her in the film heavenly creatures I have always liked her. She's gorgeous, smart, and genuine.
she may not be irritating but she is one giant asshole
I know a lot of people do like her, but I find her IRRITATING as hell as well!!!! She's so so looking but certainly not a pretty! She totally loved Leonardo but he so shrugged her ass off!
Re: 01badgirl – same idea!
Re: 01badgirl –
I know. She annoys the fuck out of me. She always complains about her self like how she thinks she's too fat and etc and her shameless Oscar begging was a real turnoff this year. I will never get why people like her so much, or her acting for that matter. Also she is not aging well. She's 34 and looks 40 in that picture.
Re: Cubish – Ha . . Your a fool . . . Do you believe everything Fox news tells you?
Re: Vexation – Please don't feel sorry for the daily mail having to pay out $$ because if you'd ever had the displeasure of ever reading that spiteful, racist, homophobic and fear mongering piece of sh*t then i doubt you'd care so much about Kate nailing them to a wall!
THE ONLY THING I FIND IRRITATING ABOUT HER IS THAT SHE NEVER GOT WITH LEO!! NOW SHE'S MARRIED
… I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER BEFORE SHE EVER GOT MARRIED. BUT IF SHE GET'S A DIVORCE, SHE CAN ALWAYS GET WITH LEO 
. MAYBE SHE'S THE ONE HE'LL SETTLE DOWN WITH AND MARRY. KATE/LEO
Kate Winslet is awesome!! A true lady and star!!
Re: Zombie Hitler – LOLOLOLOLO
How is she irritating? Them other Limeys are jealous of her beauty and class.
