Kate Winslet marries Ned Rocknroll! So will she become Kate Rocknroll?

Kate Winslet marries Ned Rocknroll

Stop the presses! Kate Winslet is once again a married woman.

According to the Daily Mail, Winslet tied the knot with boyfriend Ned Rocknroll in a secret service in New York earlier this month. The ceremony was so hush-hush that her parents reportedly had no idea it was happening—apparently the only people to witness the nuptials were Winslet’s children and a handful of friends. Including one Leonardo DiCaprio, who gave Winslet away in the wedding ceremony.

This is Winslet’s third marriage. She said “I do” to Jim Threapleton in 1998. They had a daughter together—Mia—but divorced in 2001. In 2003, Winslet married director Sam Mendes, also in a secret ceremony. Sadly, the pair separated in 2010. They also had one child together, Joe.

Not too, too much is known about Ned Rocknroll. He is the nephew of Richard Branson, and works for his latest venture — Virgin Galactic, which will (maybe soon?) offer flights to space. Born Abel Smith, Rocknroll had just separated from wife Eliza Cowdray when he met Winslet, possibly on the Necker Island trip in which Winslet saved Branson’s mother from a house fire.

Winslet’s spokesperson has confirmed that Winslet is a married woman, and that she and Rocknroll have been engaged since the summer. We wish these two a very happy life together and are secretly hoping that she decides to take his last name. Even if it lacks some hyphens.

Kat Von D accepts a Twitter marriage proposal

Kat-Von-D-and-Deadmau5

By Kate Torgovnick

Kat Von D, who rose to fame on the TLC shows “Miami Ink” and “LA Ink,” is incredibly good at creating lifelike portrait tattoos. She is not, however, so good at saying no to marriage proposals that need quick shooting down.

Von D became known in circles who don’t watch TV shows about the art of tattooing when she began dating Jesse James soon after it was discovered that he had brashly and repeatedly cheated on Sandra Bullock. It took less than a year for Von D and James — both heavily inked motorcycle enthusiasts — to get engaged.

James gushed to People, “You know sometimes the public and press gets it wrong. This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend. An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs … So honored that she said ‘yes.’ Growing old with her is going to be a f—-n’ blast!”

Soon after, Von D revealed that they were done. Why? Because James cheated on her — with no less than 19 girls. Yeah, we could have told her that would happen.

In September, Von D began dating Deadmau5, the Canadian DJ who performs with a robotic mouse head. (Real name: Joel Zimmerman.) Shortly after they got together, Deadmau5 requested a star tattoo on his face to match Von D’s. But the pair broke up in November.

And then on Saturday night, Deadmau5 proposed to Von D over Twitter, which in our mind is a few notches below a Jumbotron. His message itself also wasn’t very romantic.

Do we prefer Kate Holmes or Katie Holmes?

Katie Holmes or Kate Holmes?By Kate Torgovnick

I know, I know — you are sick of hearing about Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise‘s split. But I promise that the readers of this site will be interested in this twist, which I somehow managed to miss last week. Apparently, Cruise and Holmes butted heads over, of all things, her first name. While she preferred “Katie,” he pushed hard to get her to become “Kate.”

Holmes was born “Kate Noelle Holmes,” but she’s gone by “Katie” professionally since back in the “Dawson’s Creek” days. However, Cruise was apparently not so into that little “-ie.” While Holmes was pregnant with daughter Suri, Cruise explained in an interview why he had taken to calling his wife “Kate.”

“Katie is a young girl’s name,” Cruise said at the time. “Her name is Kate now – she’s a child-bearing woman.”

9 reasons I’m sad that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are dunzo

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes weddingBy Kate Torgovnick

The rest of the world seems pretty happy about the fact that Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from Tom Cruise. The Telegraph titled their article on the split “Marriage Impossible?” Meanwhile, Amelia McDonell-Parry of The Frisky wrote, “Well, her contract must be up. Five years after they tied the knot in Italy, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are splitting.” Sherri Reed of The Stir took things a big step farther, writing, “Thank God, Katie Holmes has finally escaped that sham of a marriage … Run Katie run! Suri, take off your heels and run with her!”

So I know that I am in the minority in actually feel pretty bummed about this parting. Yes, Scientology freaks me out and I very much dislike the idea of religion where you buy your way in. But still, these two really did seem in love. And it’s always sad to see that end, no matter what.

After the jump, 9 reasons I’m sad that Katie and Tom are no more.

Katy Perry gifts Robert Ackroyd with pricey guitar, Russell Brand blasts talk show host for joking about split

Katy Perry and Russell Brand

By Kate Torgovnick

Katy Perry and Russell Brand may be close to finalizing their divorce, but their saga continues on. While it appeared that Perry was just having a Coachella fling with Florence + the Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd, the two are very much still dating, a source tells the British newspaper The Sun. The source adds that Perry recently gifted her new beau with a $35,000 guitar.

“She’s so smitten she’s bought Rob some very decent gifts,” the source claims. “He’s into his vintage guitars so she knew he’d be impressed by the Fender.”

Meanwhile, Brand made an appearance on the UK’s “The Graham Norton” show on Friday to promote his new flick, “Rock of Ages.” Of course, Norton asked about his split from Perry after just 14 months of marriage.

“My mum is here. She got upset when you dragged up my marriage. I saw her cry, Graham,” said Brand.

Justin Long and Kate Mara?

Justin-Long-and-Kate-MaraIt looks like Justin Long has added a second Kate to the list of famous women he has dated. The baby-faced actor, who is perhaps best known for being a “Mac” in those commercials opposite “PC” John Hodgman, has dated Kaitlin Doubleday (Joanna in “Catch Me If You Can”), Maggie Q (of The CW’s “Nikita”), Drew Barrymore, Kirsten Dunst, and Leighton Meister. Now, Long is reportedly seeing Kate Mara.

Tom Cruise gushes about Katie Holmes in new Playboy interview

Katie Holmes and Tom CruiseI know that, at one point in time, Playboy was all, “I read it for the articles.” But my impression was that said time had long since passed. So I was a little surprised to see that Tom Cruise, a man who does not give a ton of interviews, did a Q+A for the racy magazine’s June issue. In said interview he does talk about wife Katie Holmes, who he affectionately calls Kate. In fact, Cruise explained to Playboy why he named his P-51 Mustang fighter plane “Kiss Me Kate.” He says, “It covers two things I love most—my wife and movies.”

Oh, but he goes on to say even sweeter things about Holmes.

“She is an extraordinary person,” he says. “Everything she does, she does with this beautiful creativity. When she becomes interested in something, she doesn’t talk about it, she does it. One week I said to her, ‘You’ve been up in the middle of the night. Is everything okay?’ She smiled and then threw this thing on my desk and said, ‘I wrote this script.’ She wanted to try it, and she did. She wanted to try designing clothes, and now her line is wonderful and, to me, an example of how she just creates beautiful things in her life. She has a voice and warmth as an artist, as a mother. She’s funny and charming, and when she walks into the room, I just feel better.”

Kate Beckinsale shares her favorite prank to pull on her husband

Kate Beckinsale and Len WisemanKate Beckinsale loves a good prank. And not just sneaking sex toys into her poor mother’s luggage as she is on her way to the airport. During an appearance on “Ellen” on Monday, Beckinsale revealed that she also loves pranking her husband, Len Wiseman, who directed the actress’ new flick, “Total Recall.” (Beckinsale has already discussed how odd it was filming sex scenes with co-star Colin Farrell in front of her hubby.)

Apparently, Wiseman is such a deep sleeper that Beckinsale discovered years ago that she could apply makeup, and much more, to his face while he was asleep, without waking him up.

“Once I found out that I could do the make-up, then it got really crazy and I’d start gluing a proper ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ beard on … and then a bullet hole, all this stuff you can get in any Halloween store,” said Beckinsale. “It’s hours of fun for me.”

A brief timeline of Katy Perry and Russell Brand split denials

Katy Perry and Russell BrandAs much as Katy Perry and Russell Brand have tried to assure us that all is good in their marital hood, it’s starting to look pretty bad for the adorable couple. It appears that the two did not spend the holidays together. While Perry was photographed in Kauai, Hawaii, on the day after Christmas — splashing in the ocean with friends, sans her wedding ring — Brand was spotted in jolly old England, having a drink at a pub in Cornwall on Christmas day.

I’m still holding out hopes for Perry and Brand, as I am all in favor of any couple that has elephants at their wedding. But I wouldn’t be too surprised if this turns out to be a Nick-and-Jessica situation where, several months down the line, they’ll stop with the denials and fess up that things aren’t working out.

But for now, they’re sticking with the story that they are a very happy couple. After the jump, a detailed timeline of Perry and Brand’s split denials.
