Gwyneth Paltrow is creating a 33-room mansion. The "Two Lovers" actress and her Coldplay rocker husband Chris Martin are knocking two London properties together to create one large house, worth around £7 million [$11.5 million].

A neighbor said: "It will be a massive house. What they have already is a substantial family home, but to double and add a bit on will make it a real mansion."

Kate Winslet is taking a break from films. The Oscar-winning actress thinks she is so overexposed she has no choice but to take some time off.

The 33-year-old star said: "I think I have to take a holiday. I'm sick of me and I'm sure everybody else is too!"

Kate Winslet wore a pubic wig for "The Reader." The Oscar-winning actress had to bare all for the Holocaust movie and producers took measures to ensure her body was consistent with the era.

She told Allure magazine: "I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn't come back quite the way it used to. They even made me a merkin - a wig - because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough."

Kate Winslet still wears a ring Leonardo DiCaprio gave her. The happily married actress cherishes the engraved gold band presented to her by Leonardo when they starred as doomed lovers in the 1997 box office hit "Titanic."

Kate, who wears the band alongside her wedding ring, told Flare magazine: "Yes, Leo's ring is engraved on the inside, but I'm not going to tell you what it says."

Russell Crowe is using a $120,000 gym on the set of his movie to avoid gaining weight. The 45-year-old actor is so desperate to stay svelte while filming "Robin Hood," producers have installed state-of-the-art exercise equipment in his private trailer so he can work out when he is not shooting.

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Russell is a professional. He knew he was cast to play Robin Hood, not Friar Tuck. He knows he has to stay fit."

Kate Winslet runs a very strict household. The Oscar-winning actress - who raises her two children, Mia, eight, and five-year-old Joe, with husband Sam Mendes - is an authoritarian when it comes to family life and likes everything to run smoothly.

She said: "I really rule the roost, I absolutely steer the ship. Constantly making checklists - you know, library books have to go in on a Friday, make sure that one day a week the children are not having bread for lunch."
