John C. Reilly to join Foster, Winslet & Waltz in “God of Carnage”

John C. Reilly will play Michael, the role originated by James Gandolfini on Broadway, in Roman Polanski’s big screen adaptation of the stage hit God of Carnage, according to Deadline.com. The gossip website had previously mentioned Matt Dillon for the part in the film, which will also star Academy Award winners Jodie Foster as Veronica, Kate Winslet as Annette and Christoph Waltz as Alan.

Written by Yazmina Reza, God of Carnage tells the story of two sets of parents who decide to have a cordial meeting after their sons are involved in a schoolyard brawl. The get-together hilariously goes south as each pair attacks the other’s parenting style and eventually reveals their personal qualms with their own spouses.

Reilly was nominated for a Tony Award for his work in True West and received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for playing Amos Hart in the film version of Chicago. His other Broadway credits include A Streetcar Named Desire and The Grapes of Wrath. His other film credits include Boogie Nights, Never Been Kissed, Magnolia, Gangs of New York, The Hours, The Aviator, Talladega Nights, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Step Brothers and Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant.

Filming is set to start in February in France.

The scoop on Kate Winslet’s birthday gift from her new boyfriend

Ever wondered what a successful male model buys his famous Hollywood actress girlfriend for her birthday? Well, if Louis Dowler is anything to go by, it’s luxe fashion all the way. For his girlfriend Kate Winslet’s 35th birthday last week, he paid the Belstaff store in London a visit and came away with the perfect gift — one of their classic leather jackets. Store manager of the Mayfair boutique, Fabio de Matteis tells PEOPLE: “He wanted a special present for Kate and took his time looking at the whole collection.” After browsing the British brand’s iconic selection of leather jackets, shoes and accessories, he opted for the Triumph jacket, a fitted, belted style with stud detailing. And Dowler wasn’t shy when it came to gushing about the birthday girl. “He said how much Kate loved her motorcycle but she only had masculine things to wear on it, so he wanted to treat her to something more feminine.” Obviously, the jacket, which retails for more than $1,000, was a hit as Winslet has already been spotted working a new biker-chic look, accessorized with a smile and a certain model on her arm. A triumph indeed.

Kate Winslet: Can she find bliss in marriage to Louis Dowler?

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rose Dawson from Titanic and one of the prettiest actress in the tinsel world Kate Winslet has had an eventful year so far. 2010 has been a mixed year as she found herself picking up double Golden Globes for The Reader and the Revolutionary Road but also got separated from her husband Sam Mendes.

After weeks of agony, however, now she has found comfort in the shoulders of model Louis Dowler. The duo have been all over each other as they get spotted walking arm in arm anywhere and everywhere.

Now the buzz is that Kate is contemplating walking the aisle with him and also have her own kids. But will she find bliss in marriage this time around?

Apparently, she is in deep love with Dowler and reportedly, is also keen to have him move to Chicago where she will be filming for Contagion. She has no intention of staying away from him and clearly doesn’t desire a long distance relationship.

Dowler is good looking and caring. He has certainly been instrumental in wiping her tears and ushering back the playful smile on her face. There is no reason why she shouldn’t find ecstasy and bliss if she ties the knot with him. Hopefully, this romance shall be an undying one…

Kate Winslet could marry boyfriend

Kate Winslet is so happy with her new boyfriend she believes the pair could get married and have children together in the future.

The 34-year-old actress has completely fallen for male model Louis Dowler, who is also 34, and has been contemplating their future together.

A friend told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “As far as Kate is concerned, they could go all the way together — get married, have kids. She’s the happiest we’ve ever seen her, he really brings out a wonderful, carefree side to her that we haven’t seen for years.”

Kate separated from her film director husband Sam Mendes after almost seven years of marriage in March and the break-up reportedly hit her hard.

But Louis — who started dating the Revolutionary Road star in July — has brought a smile back to the Oscar winner’s face and she has never been happier.

A source said: “It wasn’t that long ago that Kate was heartbroken. But we’re all so happy to see her back to herself — and looking sensational.”

It was recently reported that Kate had asked Louis to live with her while she films her new movie Contagion in Chicago, because she doesn’t want to have a long distance relationship with him.

A source said: “They have discussed the idea of Louis going with her while she films so they won’t have to endure a long-distance relationship at such an early stage in what seems to be something pretty serious.”

The British screen beauty currently lives in New York’s Greenwich Village with her two children, six-year-old son Joe, whose father is Sam, and her nine-year-old daughter Mia from her relationship with ex-husband Jim Threapleton.
