In January, Britain's Daily Mail labeled Kate Winslet as "The World's Most Irritating Actress," along with calling her "vain" and accusing her of lying about how she stays in shape. Now, the Oscar winner is having the last laugh, as Winslet sued for slander and won. The Daily Mail now have to pay her $40,000 in damages. Following the hearing, Winslet issued this statement:"I am delighted that the Mail have apologised for making false allegations about me. I was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regime and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise. I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy."
