| Books That Made a Difference to Kate Winslet |
The five-time Oscar nominee wants to thank the old boyfriend who gave her a fascinating French novel of over-the-top amour-and a shot of intellectual confidence; the cookbook/storybook that turned her on to Italian cooking; and the haunting modern classic by Richard Yates that inspired her next film.An ex-boyfriend and I used to go to breakfast every Sunday in London at a funny old café near Earl's Court. Afterward we'd go into this enormous bookstore, and we'd have to buy the other person a book. It was a really nice thing to do. I think sometimes when you're young, and even when you're older, purchasing a book for yourself or anyone else can be terrifying. I left school when I was 16, and I always felt - actually still do in some ways - intellectually insecure.He was 11 years older, this boyfriend, and this was his way of letting me know that it was perfectly okay to have an opinion, of helping me overcome my own insecurities - which is pretty spectacular. One day he picked up a copy of Thérèse Raquin, and I thought, You've got to be kidding me. But he said, "This is one of the most extraordinary love stories ever written." And that book, which is one of the five that changed my life, has never left me.

| A Red Carpet at Last |
The National Board of Review Awards drew an award-hungry crowd.
Based on the crowd at Tuesday night's National Board of Review awards, it seems Hollywood can be divided into two camps: those who love award ceremonies and those who hate them. George Clooney (Best Actor for Michael Clayton) falls into the former category — no surprise — as does Michael Douglas (Career Achievement Award), Josh Brolin (Best Ensemble Cast, No Country for Old Men) and Phil Donahue (Best Documentary, Body of War). Denzel Washington (who accepted The NBR Bulgari Award for NBR Freedom of Expression with the incredibly poised Great Debaters star Jurnee Smollett) looked like he was happy enough to be there, but his ensemble (a sloppy, untucked button-down shirt) seemed to say otherwise. And Kate Winslet, who presented Joel and Ethan Coen with the prize for Best Film, gleefully introduced the brothers, but then again, she is an actress. Before the ceremony, held at Cipriani 42nd Street, she said to a pal approaching her table, "I don't get up because then people start taking pictures of me."

| Kate Takes Over For Nicole |
Nicole Kidman's loss is Kate Winslet's gain. On Monday, Page Six was first to report that Kidman had to drop out of producer Scott Rudin's movie The Reader due to her pregnancy. Now, insiders tell us Winslet has agreed to star opposite Ralph Fiennes in the picture in which "a young man's decades-long obsession with an older woman in Germany runs headlong into a war crimes trial, where he learns an awful truth," as its publicity describes it. One source said, "The role was originally written for Kate, but because it was supposed to start filming in the fall, when she was working on Revolutionary Road, she had to drop out. Nicole was then hired, but her schedule kept getting pushed back and now she's pregnant, so the role went back to Kate." Reps for Winslet and Rudin, whose No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood are both nominated for Golden Globes, couldn't be reached for comment.

| Winslet Replaces Kidman In Erotic Sex Drama |
It's always weird when a high-profile star drops out of a movie, only to be replaced by another one. We spend so much time convincing ourselves that these stars matter because of their personalities, and that we care about each of them individually, but then we're reminded that, yeah, they're pretty much interchangeable pretty faces. It happened when Brad Pitt and Edward Norton both dropped out of State of Play (replaced by Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, respectively), and now it's happened again with Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman.
