Kate Winslet: 'I Was Never Going To Change My Name To Husband

Actress Kate Winslet will not take on her new husband's surname of Rocknroll, as she admits she wants to carry on her own family name.

Actress Kate Winslet will not take on her new husband's surname of Rocknroll, as she admits she wants to carry on her own family name.

Winslet, who appeared at the Toronto Film Festival this week to publicise Labor Day, married Richard Branson's nephew Ned Rocknroll in December last year and is now expecting her third child.

Winslet, who has previously been married to Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, told the Telegraph: “I was never going to change my name to Rocknroll. I’ve never changed my name to anything so I didn’t see a reason to start now.

"I quite like Kate Winslet; in fact I think it’s very flashy. I’m proud of my name because I’m one of three girls and we have one boy in our family so essentially the only person who is going to carry the name along is my brother and he doesn’t have any children at the moment.”

Speaking of her varied film roles, and her own experience with relationships, she said: “Of course I still believe in love. It’s up there with great food and the love for one’s child.

“My parents have been very happily married for well over 40 years now so to have grown up with that level of togetherness in the home was definitely something that was important to me and I’m sure I still carry that.”

She added she now feels “really happy” in life, adding that “things are wonderful”.

Winslet is currently playing a reclusive single mother, abandoned by her husband because she could not have any more children, in film Labor Day.

Earlier this year, a study found women were increasingly choosing to keep their own names after marriage, with a third of those in their twenties using their maiden name.

The survey, carried out using Facebook, found 62 per cent of married women in their twenties took on their spouse’s surname, compared with 74 per cent in their thirties and 88 per cent in their sixties.

Rachel Thwaites, of the University of York, said there remained “cultural and social pressure” on women to change their name, adding: “Women who resist this pressure are often doing so as a feminist decision or a move for equality in their relationship."

It is a tradition followed by many women in the public eye, including Zara Philips who uses her maiden name when she competes in equestrian events.

Hunger Game Star Sam Claflin Marries Girlfriend Laura Haddock In Secret Ceremony

The 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' actor tied the knot with his fiancee of over a year recently and although they tried to keep the ceremony private, pictures have leaked to a number of fansites including thesamclaflin.tumblr.com.

Sam, 27, previously opened up about how he met Laura, 27, revealing it was love at first sight when he had an audition with her.

He said: "It's the sickliest story ever. I walked into an audition room, I saw her and I knew. I'm not kidding for the life of me. She was reading in for a part and it's my fourth free call. I've done previously three auditions with this other girl reading and this girl walked in and I walked out of the audition, couldn't care less if I got the part. I called my agent, I said, 'Mate, I am in love.' He's like, 'How did the audition go, mate?' I was like, 'No, no, you don't understand. I have just met the woman I want to marry.' Then, that evening I went to a party in East London and at 5 am, I stayed up all night having fun with my friends, got on the first tube or the subway home, got the subway doors opened at my stop, she was standing there. I'm not kidding. This actually happened.

"She was like, 'Sam!' and I was like, 'Oh my god, I'm still on the same clothes. My god, I smell.' But yeah we exchanged information."

Sam also revealed he loves Laura because she reminds him of his mother.

He said: "I think I found the one that I want to live with the rest of my life, luckily.

"How do I know that she's the one? She's my female counterpart is the best way to describe her. She is my mum... She reminds me of my mum so much which I think-

-a guy will know, right? It's important. Your mum knows like everything.

"She has a lot of very similarities but at the same time she's very different and the elements that she's different from my mom, she's me. My mum being the first woman I ever loved obviously and is now the second woman I've ever loved probably is you know, yeah."

Eva Longoria Denies Romance Rumours With George Clooney: 'George And I Have Been Friends For Years'!

The 38-year-old beautiful actress took to social media to shut down reports that anything romantic was going on between her and the 52-year-old newly single star.

The former "Desperate Housewives" star took to Twitter on Thursday to shoot down an Us Weekly report that claimed one of Hollywood's most handsome stars tried to "woo" her while still dating Stacy Keibler.

"As interesting as the George Clooney rumors are, they aren't true. George and I have been friends for years," Longoria wrote.

Actors Eva Longoria and George Clooney attend the Critics' Choice Movie Awards with Skinnygirl Cocktails at Barkar Hangar this past January.

According to the mag, Clooney, 52, began "pursuing" the petite brunette beauty.

"He told her that he was still with Stacy, but had plans to break up with her and was interested in being with Eva," a source told Us.

The pair hung out in March while in Germany for work, but Longoria denied his advances and they "did not hook up," the source continued.

Just friends: 'As interesting as the George Clooney rumors are, they aren't true. George and I have been friends for years,' Longoria tweeted Thursday.

Although the 38-year-old actress did not show any interest in Clooney, he reportedly continued to pursue her with texts and calls.

"Eva made it clear to him that she would not date or be with him until he was completely single," the insider added.

Longoria recently announced her new romance with Ernesto Arguello, whom she met while producing the NBC reality dating show "Ready for Love."

The actress told the Twitterverse in early July she "couldn't be happier” with her beau.

Keibler and Clooney officially called it quits earlier this month over reported opposing views on marriage and children.

Kiebler, however, dismissed the rumors this week, telling “Extra,” "There's nothing really dramatic that happened, so it's all good."

Selena Gomez's New Song "Love Will Remember" Leaked - Latest News!

Selena Gomez is opening up about her relationship with Justin Bieber—through her music.

The adorable pop star's new album Stars Dance is set to debut in just two weeks, but a new track from the highly anticipated record has leaked, and the Justin Bieber breakup ballad, titled "Love Will Remember," features a voicemail supposedly from the former Disney darling's on-again, off-again beau.

The song—which the singer has previously confessed is indeed about her ex—begins with a recording of a voicemail that certainly sounds like Justin Bieber confessing his love to his former gal.

Watch: Selena's new "Come and Get It" music video!

"Hey babe, it's me," the recording begins. "I just want to call and tell you that I love you so, so, so, so much. I just wanted to let you know that you are my princess. You are worthy of all the love in the world. You are the love of my life."

Cue Selena's sentimental vocals as she sings about a love lost and a special romance she will always remember (talk about taking a hint from bestie Taylor Swift !).

The brunette beauty has previously opened up about the heartfelt tune, telling InStyle mag, "That's the most personal track on the record, for sure. I think it's a sweet way of releasing it. It's not an aggressive approach to what people are probably expecting. I'm sure he'll [Justin] love it too."

While the track certainly suggests the former lovebirds are officially over, Justin and Selena continue to keep us guessing when it comes to their ever-changing relationship status.

On the Fourth of July, the Biebs posted an Instagram photo with his former love, captioning the pic "#heartbreaker" and subsequently reigniting the Jelena romance rumor mill.

However, a source tells the pair is not rekindling their rocky relationship (despite attending the same Independance Day celebration) and are simply "trying to maintain a friendship."

Bieber and Gomez split back in November due to "crazy schedules", but the young stars have gotten back together a number of times since their initial breakup.

In the same InStyle interview where Gomez revealed the meaning behind "Love Will Remember," the 20-year-old actress also opened up about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the public eye (Bieber and Gomez were broken up at the time):

"It's uncomfortable that everywhere I go, people know," she said of her relationship status. "I don't like that. But Justin and I never really focused on the attention. You can't help who you date. So I wouldn't swear off that or say that's what I want again. I don't know. I'm a kid, and a breakup is normal. I have to go through the emotions and feel it out. I'm doing my own thing, being with my friends, and he's doing very well too."

And it also seems they're doing well together.
