Kate Winslet: Celine Dion’s ‘Titanic’ Song Makes Me Want to Throw Up

By Kathleen Perricone 

 

There is no love lost between Kate Winslet and Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," the theme song to her 1997 blockbuster, "Titanic." The Oscar-winning actress was asked her thoughts on the inescapable track during promotion for the 3-D release of the iconic film — and she didn't mince words. "Like throwing up," she described to MTV matter-of-factly. "No, I shouldn't say that … No, actually, I do feel like throwing up. I wish I could say, 'Oh listen, everybody! It's the Celine Dion song!' But I don't. I just have to sit there, you know, kind of straight-faced with a massive internal eye roll."

Perhaps the reason for Winslet's disdain for the song — which sold over more than 20 million copies worldwide — is because every time she walks into a bar or restaurant, someone always puts it on. "It's thrilling for people to surprise me with the Celine Dion song," she added with a laugh. Worse yet, some people have actually encouraged the "Mildred Pierce" actress, 36, to sing along. During a recent interview for a talk show in Italy, she says a pianist began to play "My Heart Will Go On" and the host "rather severely, urged [me] to go and sing it as though I had in fact sung it myself in the first place. It was like, 'No! I'm not going to do that.' They're like, 'Oh no, come on it will be funny.' No, it won't be funny. At all. And I'm not going to."

Thanks to "Titanic," it's not just "that song that shall go unnamed" that has forever haunted Winslet — so have boats in general. But not because she fears another accident with an iceberg. "I actually now get onto boats and say, 'No jokes, OK? No jokes. Can we just move on from that? And if you have any jokes, let's just get them out of the way right now. Thank you. Anyone? Jokes, jokes? OK, moving on.' And then they still tell jokes," Winslet said. The most unoriginal one? Asking the actress to reenact the "I'm the king of the world!" scene made famous by her onscreen love, Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite the annoyance, Winslet maintains good humor about it. "Oh, yeah! Oh, that one! Oh, don't worry, it's my party piece. Sure, come on up, bring your granny."

Who Are America's 6 Richest Women?

Forbes' comprehensive list of the world's billionaires (there are 1226) came out recently, and we were curious -- are there women on the list?
Turns out, there are. Yes, men far outnumber the ladies. But starting at number 11, women help fill out the ranks of the fabulously wealthy.
Where do these fortunes come from? Uniformly, these top six women have shrewdly managed the companies and fortunes handed to them by husbands and fathers. But most of these women have put in their own hard work into these companies to grow them, especially the woman who is now president of Fidelity Investments. (Because women do make better investors!)
Of course, it took a few generations for these fortunes to build up, and many of the male billionaires on Fortunes' list are, well, advanced in age, having worked hard for their wealth over a lifetime. We're looking forward to a few years down the road when the list is populated by many more women and their own companies, instead of those founded by the the men in their lives.
After all, the founder of Spanx just broke into the billionaire list. Who knows what kind of riches she'll have by the time she retires?

Miss Universe Canada Disqualifies Transsexual Contestant: She was Born a Boy

 Jenna Talackova (right)Miss Universe Canada officials have banned 23-year-old transsexual Jenna Talackova from participating in the pageant finals to be held in Toronto in May, 2012. The Vancouver contestant was one of sixty-five women chosen to compete in the national contest (which is owned by Donald Trump). The Daily Mail Reports that Denis Davila, national director of Miss Universe Canada, asserts that every contestant must be a "naturally born female." Critics of the decision claim that the rules do not specifically address sex change or plastic surgery.

The statuesque blonde Talackova is calling it a human rights issue. She says that she knew she was a girl by age four, started hormone therapy at fourteen, and had sex reassignment surgery at nineteen. She's previously competed in both transsexual and women's beauty pageants. "All I can say is that they disqualified me because I'm not 'natural born,' she told the National Post. "[That] doesn't make sense because since I was conscious, I always felt this way."

After being kicked out of the pageant, Talackova, whose twitter account has since been locked, tweeted, "I'm disqualified, however I'm not giving up. I'm not going to just let them disqualify me over discrimination." Online support for the beauty queen is growing. So far, over twenty-one thousand people have signed a petition demanding she be allowed to compete. It reads, "She is a woman and deserves to be treated as any other woman would be."

Talackova, who says she is not doing interviews until she consults a lawyer, describes herself as, "a woman with a past."

How To Get Hair Color Every Man Will Notice

When it comes to hair, most women can’t help wondering what men think of it. According to a Pantene poll, 74% of men notice a woman because of her hair. It also found that men are more likely to approach a woman with great hair than one with a low-cut shirt.
So what is it that makes for noticeable hair? Here are a few insider tips: men generally prefer long hair with natural, soft texture. They also tend to be more attracted to shiny hair. And what about the color? They find blondes to be less serious and more playful. Red hair tends to be a warning sign, but it still has a classic, confident beauty. Studies show men would settle down with a brunette because dark hair seems more intelligent and attractive.
It’s not hard to get hair color every man will notice. Even better, you can coyly hide any stubborn grays that age you before your time. The trick is finding a way to do it without breaking the bank with expensive salon bills. Here to offer you winning color at a fraction of the price is eSalon.com.
The innovators at eSalon have found a way to offer it all – quality home coloring products at an affordable price with the personal guidance of a highly trained salon professional.

eSalon’s haircolor solution

eSalon sells hair color for home coloring, but it’s nothing like the drug store experience, where customers are forced to settle for pre-mixed colors off the shelf. Celebrity colorist and eSalon Color Director Estelle Baumhauer – who has taught coloring techniques for salons in such fashion forward cities as Paris and New York — explains eSalon’s simple process.
“You just log onto our website and one of our color experts will be there,” said Baumhauer (who, by the way, has worked with several high profile clients, including Hilary Clinton, Nicole Kidman and Yoko Ono). “We’re that accessible. You can talk to us on the phone or through email. And after our consultation, we’ll blend your color the same way we would at a salon, with the same high quality color. The personalized pigment we create will actually have your name on the bottle, because it’s made for you and no one else.”
Made from high quality dyes, the pigment provides long lasting color, 100% gray coverage, while leaving hair silky soft, thanks to their blend of vitamin E, B5 and aloe vera extracts.
And for the ultimate in convenience, each order is delivered right to the client’s door-step for $19.95. Compare that to the $100-plus price tags stylists prefer to charge.
“I’m proud of the service we provide for busy, professional women,” says Baumhauer, a licensed cosmetologist herself trained by top colorists in Paris over 20 years ago. “It’s an alternative no one else in the business can bring them.”

Top Gifts for Women

When you're looking to give a lady a gift she'll love, a little pure pampering is never a bad idea. Try show-stopping dazzle, alluring aromatics, cozy extras and chic little treats. We've put together some ideas for the best surprises of the season.  

All that glitters: Jewelry

Bringing on the bling is a pretty sure-fire way to please most women on your gift list and there's a huge array of sparklers in the marketplace to choose from. If she's the least bit trendy you'll likely want to go with something big and bold—but that doesn't necessarily mean spendy. More affordable costume jewelry is totally hip now, so look for long multi-layered necklaces, Boho-style drop earrings, crystal-encrusted pins, and—if you happen to know her size—Lucite bangles and large vintage-style cocktail rings.

If she skews more ladylike, there's nothing more sublime than the soft glow of pearls. Dove gray varieties are especially chic, and black pearls are always exotic, so think about going beyond classic white. And again, if you aren’t sure of her exact size, a matched pearl earrings and necklace set is pretty much foolproof.

While it's debatable whether or not diamonds are a girl's best friend, faux-diamonds are great pals of savvy gift givers. The quality of these pretty pretenders have hit new heights and are virtually indistinguishable from the real deal. Look for everything from fun fashion pieces coated with crystals, to high-end designer pieces that enhance cubic zirconia with fine gold or platinum-enrobed settings. 

Warming trend: Knit goods

Giving her something soft and warm for the holidays is kind of a no-brainer. After all, it's typically cold outside—and yes, we've even heard tell of chilly winter nights in Arizona and Florida. Scarves spring to mind and they just happen to be totally on-trend as well as perfectly practical. The more texture the better—ruffles, fringe, cable-knit, nubby—it all adds up to affordable luxe. Cashmere is less expensive than you'd expect, and mohair, silk, and wool blends all do snug duty, too. The newest twist is the infinity loop (or tube scarf), which is a super-soft example of cutting-edge fashion.

Want to go bigger? Cushy capes, ruanas and wraps are showing up everywhere and offer more coverage. Smaller? Knit gloves and mittens are always appropriate and well-used gifts. Hats can either look "hipster" or classic, while our favorite newest warming trend is the earmuff. They're totally cute in faux-fur, plaid knit and even a little fun-loving sparkle.

If you've got her stats at hand, seek out a sweater. They're trending as one of the most popular presents this season. If you want to score the hottest variety, consider a cardigan. It's the most versatile knit top—sleekly buttoned up or unbuttoned and used as a stylishly toasty layer. Deep jewel tones are the most universally flattering color choice. 

All together now: Gift sets

When you can't decide on one gift, why not give her many? The easiest way to do this is by wrapping up a gift set. Think of these as elegant goodie boxes for grown-ups. We love the sheer sensory kick of a bath and body collection. There’s a reason why it's a perennial present fave—the unabashed indulgence. Look for kits that contain both cleansing and moisturizing products, plus fun little extras like brushes, candles, even inflatable bath pillows.

Don't know her favorite perfume? Fragrance samplers offer an assemblage of aromas to play with, some packaged in small sample tubes, while other kits reproduce full size bottle designs in mini replicas. If you know her signature scent, expand her repertoire with a collection of bath gel, body lotion, powder, and purse-size eau de cologne in that aroma.

Give her the gift of glam with an array of color and shine. A makeup set is one of the most gorgeous presents a woman can get, and these treats range from simple trios of saucy lip gloss, all the way up to complete cosmetic collections in multi-tiered, sliding tray palettes featuring every color in the rainbow and rivaling a Trump condo for sheer gutsy glitz. 

Small wonders: Leather goods

When you have absolutely no clue about her size or fragrance preference (or honestly, whether she's allergic to one substance or another), the safe, yet elegant, bet for holiday gifts are leather accessories. Even vegan friends can benefit from the higher quality faux-leather goods on the market. In both cases, think about long-lasting, practical presents that they'll really use.

For that reason, wallets remain a classic choice and they're offered in many shapes and sizes, from simple coin purses all the way up to multi-pocketed accordion styles that carry almost as much as a regular purse. Looking for something a little hipper? Check out all the sleek cases made just for those uber-popular handheld electronic devices—cellphones, tablets, eReaders, laptops—whatever gadget she uses, there's a stylish carrier crafted especially for it.

Giving a full-size handbag to a woman is a slightly iffy proposition unless you know her taste, so we recommend taking a look at smaller clutches and more casual mini-bags. Both styles are wardrobe staples, but are more of an accessory and less of an everyday necessity. Satin, beading, sequins and shiny stones are all hot decorative trends on clutches and evening bags, while a sort of utilitarian combo of canvas and tough buckles makes any messenger bag ultra-cool. 

Dream on: Sleepwear

Just thinking about the cozy collection of sleepwear warms us up. We can't imagine a more pampering present, and there are so many varieties to choose from you're sure to bring a smile and a better night's sleep to your favorite femme.

For cushy comfort and a boost of warmth in the winter, nothing beats a fluffy set of flannel pajamas. Go for brightly printed pairs for the extrovert, or solid rich jewel tones for the more elegant personalities on your gift list. Up a few style notches is the silk pajama. She'll be tempted to keep these on the entire weekend. Of course you'll find cozy flannel and glam silk in nightshirt and gown styles as well, and consider a matching robe to top everything off. And if some silk prices look too high, consider a satin equivalent. Today's blends don't feel cheap or flimsy and can typically be tossed in the washer and dryer for easy laundering.

Slippers aren't technically sleepwear, but they sure feel essential on those cold winter mornings. Soft shearling, luxe faux-fur, absorbent waffle weave cotton, breathable leather—there's a pair out there to warm up the frostiest of feet.

See Rihanna's New Cross Tattoo

Rihanna can't stop, won't stop when it comes to loading up on tattoos!

For her latest ink, she went to her favorite NYC tattoo artist, Bang Bang, and his soon-to-be-opened tattoo parlor on the Lower East Side.
PHOTOS: See more pics of Rihanna's tattoos
While there on Thursday, the "We Found Love" singer opted for a tiny cross on the left side of her collarbone.
"We cut the color with water, so it'll end up being light -- like the "rebelle" tattoo on her neck," Bang Bang, 26, describes to Us Weekly about the star's new ink. He adds that she decided to place her tattoo on her collarbone because it's easy for her to hide with a necklace but also can be in plain sight.
PHOTOS: Rihanna's strange style
"She loved it," Bang Bang, who has done around 12 of her various tattoos including the "Shhh" one on her finger, tells Us. "She always flips out [when it's done] and jumps up and down like a 16-year-old girl getting her first car."
PHOTOS: More celebrity tattoos
Bang Bang, who is the man behind the ink on Katy Perry, Russell Brand, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and other stars, has been tattooing since he was 19 years old and celebrates the opening of "the largest tattoo shop in NYC" this spring.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter Remembers Mother’s Last Days, Plans Career In Entertainment

Bobbi Kristina on "Oprah's Next Chapter."

Bobbi Kristina Brown, Whitney Houston's only child, spent her mother's last day in her arms, the 19-year-old told Oprah Winfrey on "Oprah's Next Chapter," her first interview since Houston was found dead in her hotel room on Feb. 11.
The night before Houston died, her daughter with ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown asked her mother to sleep with her as she often did.
"Sometimes she'd come in my room, she'd lay down with me," Bobbi Kristina told Winfrey. "On the last day, it was so early. I went to go get her. I said, 'Mom, will you just come lay down with me?' She stayed with me all day. I slept in her arms all day. All night long."
Does Bobbi Kristina want to change her name?
Bobbi Kristina appeared stronger, more confident and mature than one would expect of a teenager and only child who just lost her mother. Bobbi Kristina spoke to Winfrey at the Atlanta home of her uncle and aunt, Houston's older brother, Gary, and wife, Patricia, who was Houston's manager and confidant.
Bobbi Kristina said support from her family and God is helping her cope with the loss. She is also comforted by her mother, who, she said, still speaks to her.

Bobbi Kristina said after her mother died, she initially could not stay at their family home. "First night, I couldn't stay there. Next morning, I woke up and heard her say, 'OK. Come home now.' I felt humbled. I felt OK ever since then I've been fine to be in that house."
Bobbi Kristina has had a difficult time, though, dealing with various allegations that have been made about Houston, who had admitted to abusing drugs. Bobbi Kristina was down the hall from her mother's Beverly Hilton Hotel room when she died.
"Everyone wants to say she was something she wasn't," she said. "I saw her hurt. I saw her cry. I held her through that. We held each other. Everything people are saying about her … all that negativity is garbage," she said. "That is not my mother. That's not who she is. In reality, I know who she was."
Whitney Houston leaves everything to her daughter
Bobbi Kristina, who has been rumored to have had her own troubles with drugs, admitted that she was sometimes disobedient.. "I was a little rebellious," she said. "But when it came down to it, I was always, 'Mommy, mommy, mommy.'"
Bobbi Kristina desires to follow in her mother's footsteps. "I got to keep moving," she said. "I got to carry on her legacy. I still have a voice. We're going to do the singing thing. We're going to do some acting, some dancing. It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it."
Bobbi Kristina said she only realized the magnitude of her mother's influence when she joined her on tours, or most poignantly, saw how the public responded to her funeral that was streamed online.
"I just saw her as Mom for my entire life," she said. "When we did go on tour and the funeral and everything, I was like, 'Wow. This woman made an impact not only on a few people, but the world.'"
Patricia discussed her late sister-in-law's last days, including the reported heated exchanges Houston had with "X Factor" contestant Stacy Francis at a pre-Grammy party two nights prior to her death, and arriving to Houston's hotel room after she died.
Houston's brother Gary said his mother always described his sister as an angel and shared a revelation that her daughter would not live a long life.
Bobbi Kristina, who said it is still too hard for her to listen to her mother's music, said she would be OK. "I can hear her voice. She's always with me," she said. "'I've got ya.' That's all I heard."
