She’s currently dealing with the somber fact that her marriage has fallen apart, and Kate Winslet fittingly spoke with press prior to the divorce announcement about dealing with heartbreak.

“I’m no stranger to heartbreak or rejection,” she told OK! magazine. “I’ve always been quite emotional, but when something like that happens, you have to find a way to move on.”

Splitting from Sam Mendes, her husband of seven years, Miss Winslet continued, “I went through that as a teenager. I was always falling for the wrong guy, or I was the girl who never got the guy.”

Meanwhile, insiders tell that Kate and Sam used to fight about their career paths, with a source dishing, “Sam told friends Kate would talk about the film the moment they woke up, and it was overbearing. They went stir-crazy and argued more than ever. Kate told Sam, ‘Your career is not more important than mine.'”

Since the announcement of Kate Winslet’s split from her husband Sam Mendes, we’ve noticed her name has been removed from her NYC film premiere Monday.

Kate was originally listed as an attendee of the NYC premiere on March 22 of A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism (aka The Sunshine Boy), for which she narrated, but her name has since been removed.

The award-winning actress announced her split from husband of nearly seven years in a statement through their lawyers Monday.

The documentary film, narrated by Kate, follows an Icelandic mother who travels to the U.S. to research new therapies for her 10-year-old son Keli’s who is severely autistic.

The film debuts on World Autism Awareness Day, April 2, on HBO.

Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet: Victims of Oscar curse?

Interviews/Articles News Personal/Career

Just days after last year’s Oscar winner Kate Winslet announced her split with hubby Sam Mendes comes news that the marriage of the newest champ, Sandra Bullock, may be on the rocks. In Touch Weekly reports that Bullock’s hubby, Jesse James, had an affair on the sly while Bullock was filming The Blind Side.

Now Oscarologists wonder: Is there really a kiss of death curse associated with winning best actress?

Over the past 12 years, eight of the best-actress champs busted up with their lovers after winning: Kate Winslet (won for 2008), Reese Witherspoon (2005), Hilary Swank (1999, 2005), Charlize Theron (2003), Halle Berry (2001), Julia Roberts (2000), Gwyneth Paltrow (1998), Helen Hunt (1997). Five of the splits occurred less than a year after their Oscar triumphs (Winslet from hubby Mendes, Witherspoon from hubby Ryan Phillippe, Swank from hubby Chad Lowe, Paltrow from boyfriend Ben Affleck, Roberts from boyfriend Benjamin Bratt). Berry’s break-up with Eric Benet occurred 18 months after winning; Hunt split with Hank Azaria less than two years later.

It’s ironic, looking back, at how effusively the stars gushed at the Oscar podium while thanking their men on the eve of their relationship’s end.

Rumors were flying that Sam Mendes was hooking up with actress Rebecca Hall behind wife Kate Winslet’s back, but the director is quick to deny it.

Even though Sam was seen with Rebecca in London and New York, his rep shut the rumors down saying:

“Utter nonsense. Untrue and ridiculous.”

Hall and Mendes met in 2006 on the set of Starter for 10 which Sam produced and have been working together on productions for his Bridge Project theater company.

As for Kate, she’s still in Mexico with the kids now taking a much-needed break!

Kate Winslet to move back to the U.K.

Kate Winslet is reportedly packing up and moving back to the U.K. She’s lived in New York for the last seven years, but her split from husband Sam Mendes has made her want to return to England.

According to the Daily Mail, Kate is in “turmoil” over the divorce. A source close to the actress said, “Kate is in meltdown mode and doesn’t know quite what to do.”

Apparently Kate wants to be near her parents and her close friend Emma Thompson, who both live across the pond. “Kate feels she needs a support system, but she is torn because doesn’t want to disrupt her kids and is able to be very low key in New York,” continued the source.

The latest on why Sam and Kate decided to split is that he told her he didn’t think he could be with one woman for the rest of his life. A close friend of Kate’s told the Mail, “Sam had been really withdrawn and had shut himself away from her. They then had this big talk and he told her ‘people can’t be inspired by just one relationship. For me, it’s never going to be about one relationship… life is a series of relationships.’

Kate told him ‘For me it is, that’s what I want’, but Sam replied ‘Well, that’s not what I want’ and they both knew the marriage could not go on, it was hopeless. Kate did not want to break up, she had been trying her best to keep things together for months, but in the end it was just too much.”

It seems like men in the public eye lately don’t realize how lucky they are to be dating smart, beautiful women! Sam Mendes, Jesse James, and Tiger Woods should be grateful for what they had!
