Kate Winslet, who "enjoys" having a curvy figure, has revealed that she makes sure she wears clothes that flatter her hour-glass shape.

According to InStyle magazine, the 36-year-old ‘Titanic’ actress also said that she is very confident about her body after learning over the years what clothes suit her shape.

“I’m lucky to go in and out at the right places, proportionately that’s something I inherited from my mother,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

“I enjoy my shape and my curves. At the same time, you have to know how to dress. If you are hippy, then pleats off the waist? Forget it! You absolutely cannot wear them. It’s about knowing how to work with the right fabric,” she added.

Silk Smitha’s family sends legal notice to 'The Dirty Picture’

South sensation Silk Smitha’s family is upset with the makers of ‘The Dirty Picture’. Her brother V Naga Vara Prasad sends a legal notice to Milan and producer Ekta Kapoor claiming the movie obscene. They also claimed that the film was made without their permission.

They were not happy as how their sister has been portrayed in the movie.

"We came to know through TV channels and newspaper reports that The Dirty Picture portrays my sister in a rather obscene way. Ekta Kapoor is making the film with Vidya Balan in the lead role. Neither the producer nor the director contacted us (the family). What right do the producer and the director have to make this film, without the family's consent?" Vara Prasad questioned.

Confirming that he has indeed sent a legal notice to the makers of The Dirty Picture, Vara Prasad added, "There still has been no response from their side. We are now going to send a second notice in a couple of days through a High Court lawyer in Hyderabad. If they go ahead with the release, we will be compelled to initiate proceedings."

Silk Smitha, whose original name is Vijayalakshmi, belongs to a small village in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. Vara Prasad, the only brother of Smitha, said that the family and relatives were upset with the film that shows her in obscene avatar.

"We learned that they made the film based on inputs given by an alleged boyfriend of Smitha in Chennai. If they wanted to make a perfect film with facts in place, they should have contacted us to know about her childhood at least," said her brother.

Vara Prasad added, "We have to see the content of the film. Whatever is objectionable has to be deleted. Those days, the media was limited hence we could not get the actual truth behind her death. Many believe that she ended her life because of financial problems. It may not be the truth."

Prasad also made it clear that the family is not looking for any monetary gain. "We don't need anything from them. We just want them not to hurt us and our relatives," he stated. He said the family would do its best to prevent release of the film on Dec. 2, the birthday of Silk Smitha.

When contacted, Milan Luthria said, "Basically people like us tend to get into a situation like this very late in the day. It is very difficult to say anything at all as our legal advisors have warned us not to comment since the matter is subjudice".

Aishwarya denies delivery report

Ever since Aishwarya Rai Bachchan got married to actor Abhishek Bachchan, she has been constantly making news for her pregnancy.  Now that her delivery date is drawing nearer, gossip mills started to churn out that she will be delivered at Seven Hills hospital at Marol, Andheri (E) Mumbai on 11.11.11. The Bachchan family is highly upset with media cooking wrong stories about Aishwarya’s delivery.

Aishwarya’s spokesperson clears the air about Ash’s delivery, “The report ridiculously insinuates that the family would actually turn nature’s course for such blind and sensationalised beliefs. There is a limit to time and again making regressive remarks like marrying her off to a tree or actually planning or delivering her baby just for sensational journalism.”

The report also suggests that Ash regularly visits the hospital at 7.30 am for check-ups and in-house gynecologist Dr Vinita Salvi visits the Bachchan bahu.

However, the hospital denies it all. Dr Pai, head of radiology and vice president, Seven Hills Hospital, says, “The information and details are a figment of someone’s imagination. The reports of 7.30 am appointments and a C-section for the 11th have no resemblance to the truth and such stories only put the medical fraternity in bad light. Sonography is a personal procedure and is not performed in open wards. Twisted details mislead the people of this country to believe and follow what a writer may see as good masala for newsprint.”
