Kate Winslet announces her engagement

Bad news for those who bought "Titanic" for the nude sketching scene and pretended she was posing just for you: Kate Winslet is getting married. She is engaged to Jim Threapleton, 24, whom she met last year when he was assistant director on her upcoming film "Hideous Kinky." (Winslet plays a hippie mother in the 1960s who whisks her daughters away to explore Morocco.)

"When you know it's the right thing, you just know," she said Friday. "We want to get married sometime next summer, but we want to keep the details a secret." Winslet has been good at keeping most of her life a secret even after being nominated for an Oscar for "Titanic," preferring to keep a low profile in London unlike her night-owl costar Leonardo DiCaprio.
