KATE WINSLET SETTLES WITH MAGAZINE

Kate Winslet Won't Put Up With False Stories

Kate Winslet has agreed to a financial settlement with a British magazine over a story claiming the actress was consulting a diet doctor. The curvy star -- an outspoken opponent of Hollywood's growing obsession with size zero -- was furious when Grazia magazine reported she was taking desperate measures to shed weight by visiting a Chinese Healing Institute in Santa Monica, Calif. She announced plans to sue the publication last month. Friday, the publication apologized and conceded Winslet went to the doctor in connection with a neck problem. A "substantial" monetary settlement will be donated to an eating disorder charity. In a statement Grazia says, "We are satisfied that she did not go to (a doctor) seeking any treatment for weight loss. "We are very happy to set the record straight and sincerely apologize to Kate for the distress caused." Through her lawyer, Winslet added, "I am delighted that this matter has been resolved, and the record set straight. I am not a hypocrite. I have always been, and shall continue to be, honest when it comes to body/weight issues."
