WINSLET SUES NEWSPAPER OVER 'NASTY' ARTICLE

Oscar winner KATE WINSLET is suing a British newspaper over an article which suggested she was 'The World's Most Irritating Actress'.
The star is seeking $225,000 (GBP150,000) from the Daily Mail after writer Liz Jones called her vain and accused her of lying about her fitness habits.
In an January 2009 article, under the headline 'Should Kate Winslet Win an Oscar for the World's Most Irritating Actress?' Jones wrote, "She caught a nasty dose of Hollywooditis. It happens to the best of them, of course it does. It is the duplicitousness that enrages me and most other women I have spoken to."
She also questioned a quote Winslet gave to Elle magazine, in which the actress said, "I don't go to the gym because I don't have time, but I do Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home."
In a lawsuit filed in London in April (09), Winslet insists the article "injured her personal and professional reputation" and left her feeling "distressed and embarrassed".
The suit adds, "(Winslet) was particularly upset by what she regarded as the very unpleasant and nasty way in which the article was written."
