Kate Winslet was all smiles at Heathrow Airport on Tuesday after a flight home from L.A. where she attended the Emmy Awards.
Kate won the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie, for her role in HBO's Mildred Pierce and she made a point of thanking her mom in her acceptance speech, but there are rumors there is another special person in her life these days.]]>
A host of award shows brought some celebrities out, but not all of them: Gwyneth Paltrow attended the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in a sparkly Burberry number to support husband Chris Martin, whose band Coldplay performed with the backing of a marching band; Katy Perry, who was up for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (but lost to British singer Adele), performed in a Carmen Miranda-esque fruit ensemble.
Kate Winslet picked up a statue for Best Leading actress at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) in London, for which she was nominated both for her role in "The Reader" and "Revolutionary Road." She posed on the red carpet with presenter Daniel Craig. Less than two weeks till the Oscars! And speaking of the Oscars, Jessica Biel appeared in Oscar de la Renta at the Academy Awards' Scientific and Technical Awards Saturday night to give out all the little gold men that don't fit into the telecast.
But award shows aren't always the trip worth taking: Angelina Jolie arrived at the BAFTAs after a visit to a refugee camp in Thailand for cyclone victims from Myanmar, proving she still thinks some things are important than her career. (She and fellow Super World Traveler Brad Pitt were both up for leading awards; Jolie lost to Winslet, above, while Pitt lost to Mickey Rourke.) And last year's Grammy darling Amy Winehouse, who performed via satellite when she was not granted a visa to travel to L.A. for the ceremony, skipped the festivities altogether: Rumor has it she is staying in Jamaica to record her third album within reach of, uh, "inspirations." Well, there's always next year.

Last week Ryanair announced it would start fining passengers for taking more than one carry-on bag aboard. We don't imagine a lot of A-listers are taking Europe's cheapest airline, but if they did, who would rise to the challenge and who would be digging in their pockets for that £30 ($42) fee?
Anne Hathaway conquers the clutter with one tiny purse -- even her man-friend has a bigger bag! Kate Winslet's elegant handbag makes it easy for her to sign autographs for her fans and talk on her phone at LAX. Vanessa Hudgens looks a little weighted down by her huge bag, but she managed to keep it to one -- for an LAX-Tokyo flight, nonetheless!
But not every celeb can get down to that one bag. Bar Refaeli's pair of a blue purse and roller makes her a light packer, but a heavy overhead-bin user. Hayden Panettiere's super-chic belted bag (complete with seatbelt buckle) wouldn't fool a gate agent into thinking she was only toting a purse. And Jessica Simpson's second piece can't be checked -- she'd be paying a fat fine for her Maltipoo Daisy.

Kate Winslet arrives at LAX with a chic white jacket and a tan zippered tote, plus the celeb-required sunglasses. Put together yet comfortable: Anyone getting off a plane could rock this low-maintenance look.
Winslet will probably be doing a lot of traveling soon to promote her new flick "Revolutionary Road," directed by husband Sam Mendes and starring Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as '50s suburbanites in Connecticut.
But this ain't "Titanic 2": The somber Richard Yates-penned novel addresses alienation and frustration that can't be resolved with a party in steerage class. Still, the December 26 opener will have some major Oscar buzz around it and could be Winslet's sixth nomination--and maybe even her first statue.
