‘Titanic’ memorabilia auctioned off.

Over the weekend, the nude drawing of actress Kate Winslet from James Cameron’s blockbuster film, ‘Titanic’ was auctioned off. The drawing was sketched by Leonardo DiCaprio’s character (Jack) in the movie, but was actually the works of Cameron himself. According to sources, the picture was expected to bring in £10,000 (over $16,000).

‘Titanic’ was a love story set in 1912 when the ship hit an iceberg and sank. Winslet played Rose, a 17 year old socialite and DeCaprio played Jack, a 20 year old who does not have a penny to his name, but wins the ticket to board the ship in a card game.

In the story, the two fall in love and after making out, they head back to Rose’s suite where she shows Jack the Heart of the Ocean (a diamond necklace which belonged to her fiance, Cal (Billy Zane). Rose asks Jack to draw her wearing nothing but the necklace. Then eighty four years later the drawing takes treasure hunters to Rose so they can learn her story.

‘Titanic’ was the highest grossing movie of all time, until Cameron broke his own record with ‘Avatar’.

Kate Winslet wins lawsuit

Kate Winslet has followed up her Oscar-winning role in The Reader with a damages-winning role as the Litigator.

The A-lister has banked more than $40,000 in damages after winning a lawsuit against Britain’s Daily Mail for a story that falsely claiming she lied about her workout routine.

The article in question, headlined “Should Kate Winslet Win an Oscar for the World’s Most Irritating Actress,” was published in January alongside naked pics of Winslet.

The 34-year-old thesp was not in court for the verdict, but her solicitor read a statement on her behalf explaining how the story had offended her and caused her a “great deal of distress” not only because it was “simply not true,” but it also left people the wrong impression about her views on the female body.
