Kate Winslet Slams Pregnancy Critics

Kate WinsletKate Winslet has blasted her pregnancy critics.

The Labor Day actress - who welcomed baby Bear with her husband Ned Rocknroll in December - was outraged to discover the public deemed her "irresponsible" for having three children by three different husbands, and doesn't believe anyone has the right to judge her for her lifestyle choices.

"No one has a right to comment on anyone's life or the choices I do or don't make. It's very easy to be judgemental until you know someone's truth. People have no idea at all. It baffles me, truly, that you can publicly treat a person like that. It's not very nice. I'm really sorry to the nation's press that I fell in love and got pregnant; I do apologize if you deem that irresponsible," she told British Glamour.

The 38-year-old star - who has a 13-year-old daughter, Mia, with her ex-husband Jim Threapleton and a 10-year-old son, Joe, with her second ex-spouse Sam Mendes - also scoffed at the idea of giving her newborn son businessman Ned's surname: "We haven't ever really had that conversation; it was always going to have my name. Of course we're not going to call it Rocknroll. People might judge all they like, but I'm a f**king grown-up."

The 38-year-old actress has three children, 13-year-old daughter Mia, with her ex-husband Jim Threapleton, 10-year-old son Joe with her ex-husband Sam Mendes and newborn son Bear, her baby with husband Ned Rocknroll.

While the 64-year-old star is one of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood - with three Oscars under her belt - she admits she doesn't buy into the hype and credits her children with keeping her feet on the ground. "When I'm not acting I don't have any sort of belief that I'm the most wonderful thing in the world. I have four children who remind me of this regularly! I'm under no illusions about my limitations as a human being," Meryl - who has four grown-up children, Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa - said.

The actress plays Violet Weston, an addict mother who has strained relations with her long-suffering children, in August: Osage County, and she admits she struggled with the role as she is so devoted to her kids Henry, 34, Mamie, 30, Grace, 27, and Louisa, 22. When quizzed if her children have seen her portrayal of a bad mother, Meryl said, "They haven't seen it yet except my youngest and she said, 'Mom, everybody is going to hate you but you're so good in this.' I realized it's worth risking everything to go to a place where you'll be loathed."

Katy Perry: Russell Brand Really Wanted Children

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Features,

Katy Perry and Russell BrandRussell Brand wanted kids with Katy Perry when they were married.

The pair tied the knot in October 2010 following a whirlwind romance and although Russell was ready to start a family, Katy wasn't as keen because she didn't want to sacrifice her pop career.

Katy - whose divorce from the comedian was finalized in February 2012 just a few months after Russell filed legal separation papers in December 2011 - said, "[Russell] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn't ready. I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, 'If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice - I'd have to be home more.' I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn't ready for it."

The "Roar" hitmaker - who is now in a committed relationship with musician John Mayer - insists she is still not ready to become a mother but when the time comes she wants to be a hands-on parent.

"I should be married and have 19 kids. And now I'm thinking my eggs are dying on the shelf. They're going to go past their expiration date. But it's what I chose, so I'm fine with that decision," the 43-year-old actress said, speaking at a roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter.

Julia Roberts also participated in the interview, along with Amy Adams, Lupita Nyong'o, Emma Thompson and Oprah Winfrey, and confessed she felt she "earned" a break from Hollywood to start her family, including twins, Hazel and Finn, eight, and Henry, six, with husband Danny Moder after almost two decades of acting: "I had been working for 18 years when I had Hazel and Finn almost nine years ago. So I felt like I earned that time in my house and in my kitchen and in bed all day with these two little people. I felt that was my present to myself."


Mila Kunis Wants to Raise a Jewish Family with Ashton Kutcher?

Ashton Kutcher and Mila KunisMila Kunis wants to have children with Ashton Kutcher and raise them in the Jewish faith.

The couple have the subject of speculation recently with reports claiming the actress is expecting their first baby - and it is said she wants any potential offspring to be raised in her own faith. "[Mila] definitely wants children with Ashton and wants to raise them in her Jewish religion... [He has] dabbled in Kabbalah, the practice of Jewish mysticism. But Mila's family is much more traditional and less Hollywood... Think Coney Island style Russian immigrants. They want Jewish babies and Mila wants to give them to her family. Tradition is very important to her," a source said.

The source also noted that the former That 70s Show co-stars are considering starting a family before they get married. "They want to have a baby now and it's far more important to them than getting married... It's a dream for Mila and Ashton, and even if he doesn't fully convert, he's very much into the idea of having little Jewish babies," the insider added.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in

Kanye West's music video for "Bound 2" might be garnering a lot of attention from fans all over (including James Franco and Seth Rogen, who loved it so much that they parodied it), but rumor has it that West's future mother-in-law Kris Jenner is not one of those fans.

Despite the positive buzz praising Kim Kardashian's post-pregnancy body - which is ostentatiously showcased in the music video - the reality star's momager isn't impressed by the video's popularity. "Kris went ballistic, telling her daughter this is worse than the 2007 leaked sex tape that Kim made with her ex-boyfriend Ray J, because that was meant to stay private, while this was meant to go public," a source revealed. "She started crying, saying how ashamed she was to see her daughter being 'forced into something so degrading.' She's saying that Kim's destroyed all of her credibility."
