. . . to a bloke who has changed his name from a perfectly good one to a reeeeeally stoopid one, and who works for his uncle on a pointless vanity project.

Yeah flame away, I know I am being U. I expect he's lovely. Or something.

But if I was her Mum, I'd be "Kate, Kate! Let your Aunty Ivy set you up with a nice suitable boy!!

Beat me to it highlander, was just about to say wonder if he knows what ned means over here!

MrsJREwing · 27/12/2012 17:39

Well that explains her couger stuff with the guy after Sam, what a dick denying it was an affair.

Bella88 · 27/12/2012 17:41

She's a dick, he's a dick...match made in rocknroll heaven I say Xmas Grin

MulledPinot · 27/12/2012 17:41

Her first husband didn't leave her. Noooooooo. She was the one who wanted to be famous in Hollywood and slept her way to the top left him.

I get v catty where Ms Winslet is concerned.

I had a gleeful little snurk at the news she's married Mr RocknRoll.

MulledPinot · 27/12/2012 17:43

Rebecca Hall is gorgeous. I would.

hermioneweasley · 27/12/2012 17:46

Agree - she's the same age as me and on her third marriage. She must have been very.....unlucky.

Nancy66 · 27/12/2012 17:46

Kate Winslet always strikes me as a complete bloke's bird - no time for her own sex.

And, yes, of course I form that judgement having never met her. Grin

digerd · 27/12/2012 17:47

I thought he looked more like 24 and really cute - she looked old enough to be his mother in the picture I saw. Is she the one with the oodles of dosh then? Liking the light hearted, amusing cattiness very much in this thread.

JustFabulous · 27/12/2012 17:49

I liked her when she seemed down to Earth. She loves herself a bit too much now for my liking.

VBisme · 27/12/2012 17:49

I think we can safely say it's his lovely generous uncle with the oodles of cash!
Mind you, bit nasty that she arrived at Necker Island with one bloke and left with another.....

Pagwatch · 27/12/2012 17:51

Is this the nepotism thread? I always loved how unexpected Rebecca Halls rise to fame was

MrsJREwing · 27/12/2012 17:59

I just checked out the dm article, they all sound like a load of bed hopping cheats apart from Jim and the first Mrs Rocknroll

Northernlebkuchen · 27/12/2012 18:00

According to the Mail their parents weren't aware of the wedding and it's his second too....

juneau · 27/12/2012 18:00

Anyone who has to change their name to RocknRoll has to be an utter tosser, surely? Because anyone who actually WAS rocknroll would never feel the need to change their bloody name. Third marriage at the ripe old age of 37? Perhaps she fancies herself as the next Liz Taylor.

Northernlebkuchen · 27/12/2012 18:03

The wedding picture of his frst wedding didn't bode well either....prat!

Bella88 · 27/12/2012 18:09

I read that Leo Dicaprio gave her away...

CometAndCupid · 27/12/2012 18:10

I am very suprised that she is only 37. I thought she was mid forties. Not because she looks it, just because she has been around as long as I can remember.

BigBaubledBertha · 27/12/2012 18:11

she irritates me for claiming she is so normal. Not sure she can claim that now being Mrs Rocknroll, can she?

And I thought she left her first husband because they had 'grown apart'. He was probably still a normal bloke and she went all Hollywood.

ReindeerBollocks · 27/12/2012 18:13

Didn't Kate cheat on Jim for Sam;
Then Sam chated on her with Rebecca Hall;
Now she's married a man with a made up name.

I hope it lasts but I wouldn't put cold hard cash on it.

MrsJREwing · 27/12/2012 18:19

Rocknroll left his wife for Kate and Kate left the model for Rocknroll!

yousankmybattleship · 27/12/2012 18:22

I'd love to be Mrs RocknRoll! Who wouldn't?

She does look like his babysitter in the weddding pics though.

lunar1 · 27/12/2012 18:25

I can just see the thread title now, AIBU to change my children's names to match my new husband. If she has any more lest hope she gives them her name.

juneau · 27/12/2012 18:30

I'm afraid that she looks like a barmaid in this outfit:

DumSpiroSperHoHoHo · 27/12/2012 18:31

May I suggest "Webuiltthiscityon" as a name?

Lol Grin (and much needed too - ta muchly!)

I went to college with someone who was at high school with her. Let's just say based on the high school reputation my friend described, I'm not surprised she's already on husband no 3.

Still, if that's what floats her boat, good luck to her.

BoerWarKids · 27/12/2012 18:36

I can't believe she got married without telling her parents! Shock

Leo gave her away instead of her dad Sad
