Kate Winslet's children 'would have been teased at school if semi-naked pictures of Ned RocknRoll were published'

Half-naked pictures of Kate Winslet’s third husband Ned RocknRoll should not be published to protect the actress' young children, a judge said today.
Explaining his decision to ban a newspaper printing the embarrassing pictures of Mr RocknRoll, Mr Justice Briggs said there was a 'real risk' that Miss Winslet's daughter and son would be ridiculed at school.

The 'innocent but embarrassing' photographs were taken of Mr RocknRoll at a private fancy dress party with an 'outrageous' theme more than two years ago, the High Court had heard.

They were taken by party guest James Pope in July 2010 and posted on his Facebook account.
The Sun had argued that publication of the 'semi-naked photos' would be justified because Mr RocknRoll - who changed his name from Edward Abel Smith - was a public figure.

Mr RocknRoll, 34, who was previously married to Viscount Cowdray's daughter Eliza, used to work as 'Head of Astronaut Relations' for the space travel branch of his uncle's Virgin empire before becoming a sheep farmer.
 
The judge said: 'Mr RocknRoll’s employment with Virgin Galactic comes nowhere to placing him in that narrow category of persons who, although engaged in no public office, may be regarded as having reduced expectations of privacy due to their important role in national affairs.
'They may include the chairmen of major public companies and the captains of national sporting teams, but Mr RocknRoll was, so far as the evidence goes at this stage, no more than a not very conspicuous middle manager in his uncle’s private business empire.
'In any event, that role ceased some two years ago.'

In a written judgment published yesterday, the judge added:'Mr RocknRoll has, inevitably, briefly become something of a public figure as a result of his relationship with, and now marriage to, Miss Winslet.
'To some unavoidable degree this has led to published photographs of them together, but not so as to place Mr RocknRoll in the public sphere in his own right.'
Mr RocknRoll, who is Miss Winslet's third husband, had argued he was not a role model and was a 'relative nobody' before his marriage to Miss Winslet.
His lawyers said publication would be a breach of privacy, would not be in the public interest, and could lead to Miss Winslet’s daughter and son being bullied.
Lawyers for the Sun said the images revealed conduct which 'some people might legitimately regard it as being unacceptable behaviour'.
And newspaper editors said they would pixelate any the parts of photographs which showed the 'lower half' of Mr RocknRoll’s body.
But Mr Justice Briggs said that while the photographs showed him partially naked and engaged in 'rather silly, schoolboy-like behaviour', they were taken at a private party and he was not expecting them to be made public.
He also said publication of them could harm the children's relationship with their mother's new husband.

He said: 'There is in my view good reason to suppose that, if the photographs or a description of their content were published... there is real reason to think that a grave risk would arise as to Miss Winslet’s children being subjected to teasing or ridicule at school about the behaviour of their newly acquired stepfather, within a short period after his arrival within their family, and that such teasing or ridicule could be seriously damaging to the caring relationship which, on the evidence, the claimant is seeking to establish with them.'
After Mr Justice Briggs ruled against Sun publisher News Group Newspapers on January 8, Miss Winslet said she aimed to maintain privacy and refused to accept that her family could not lead a 'relatively normal life'.

 
Miss Winslet and Mr RocknRoll, who married in New York last month, said in a statement: 'We have stopped The Sun from publishing semi-naked photos of Ned taken by a friend at a private 21st birthday party a few years ago.
'The photos are innocent but embarrassing and there is no reason to splash them across a newspaper.
'We recognise that in the internet age privacy is harder and harder to maintain.
'But we will continue to do what we can, particularly to protect Kate’s children from the results of media intrusion.
'We refuse to accept that her career means our family can’t live a relatively normal life.'
No detail of what the photographs showed emerged at the public hearing earlier this month. The judge heard evidence about detail in the photographs in private.
Mr Justice Briggs was told at the hearing earlier this month that the dispute over publication rights could be fully aired at a High Court trial. And he banned publication pending any trial.
But lawyers for both sides told the judge yesterday that there would be no trial.
They said Mr RocknRoll and the Sun had now agreed an undisclosed settlement of the litigation.

Bad boy Charlie Sheen gets chilling warning over his 40-a-day smoking habit on Dr Oz show

He's the unashamed wild man of Hollywood who once boasted of having the lungs of a non-smoker despite puffing on 40 cigarettes a day.
But Charlie Sheen was given some food for thought on Tuesday as he was confronted by the grisly reality of his nicotine habit.
Appearing on the Dr Oz television show, the former star of Two and a Half Men was shown the stark contrast between the lungs of a healthy person and those of a long-term tobacco user.
Health warning: Heavy smoker Charlie Sheen was shown the devastating effects of tobacco use in an appearance on the Dr. Oz show in New York

The show's host, top cardiologist Dr Mehmet Oz, left the 47-year-old actor in no doubt about the likely effect his heavy smoking habit was having on his body as he showed him the blackened, necrotic lung of a smoker.
Whether shock treatment is enough to change Charlie's wild ways remains to be seen.
However the actor was given a happy reason to take his long-term health seriously this week after confirming the news that he is to be a grandfather.
In an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman on Monday, the Anger Management actor revealed that his 28-year-old daughter Cassandra Estevez and her husband were expecting their first child.
'Me as grandfather, Dave...I don't know. It's like the world's going to crack in half,' he joked to Letterman.

Concern: Charlie was shown the stark contrast between a healthy lung and one blackened by years of smoking.

But he added: 'It's fabulous. It's just not a title I'm ready to adopt.'
Cassandra is Sheen's daughter with his high school girlfriend Paula Profit, and was born when he was 19. He gave her away in 2010 when she married her high school sweetheart Casey Huffman.
Along with his oldest daughter Sheen is also a father to daughters Sam, eight, and Lola, seven, with second wife Denise Richards, and three-year-old twins, Bob and Max, with third wife Brooke Mueller.
Sheen, who now stars in the FX series Anger Management, was fired from Two and a Half Men in March 2011 and attacked the show's creator Chuck Lorre over the following few months on stage, on Twitter and in the press.

A Short Discussion On Silver Fashion Jewellery



For many years, women and men have used jewelry to make a fashion statement or to complement an outfit. Jewelry of all types has always caught the eye of those that are looking for the correct accents for an occasion. There are many choices that can be bought at local and online stores for a wide array of prices. Some consumers have purchased gold or platinum jewelry, but the most popular type is silver fashion jewellery. Silver tones have proven to look great with all types of gems and sometimes other metals.

There are a few different choices when looking at silver jewelry. Although when most people talk about silver jewelry, they usually mean silver toned. The following is a general look at the types of silver jewelry that can be purchased. There are some considerations when purchasing high quality silver jewelry that will last a lifetime and sometimes become an heirloom piece to share with your family members.

One of the most popular silver toned jewelry pieces were created in sterling silver. Sterling silver is pure silver that has been mixed with other elements to make it hard and durable. Although it scratches fairly easy, it can be shined to a gleam. All sterling silver is marked with a . 925 stamp somewhere on the piece. Since sterling silver has nickel in it, many people are sensitive to the metal making it hard for some to wear the metal comfortably.

For those that are sensitive to sterling silver, silver plated jewelry makes a better choice. Most of the coating that is used to coat metal for silver plated jewelry does not contain nickel. Not only does it look as luxurious as sterling silver, it will sometimes hold up for a long time.

Another popular choice of silver fashion jewellery is the type that is made out of high quality metals that have a silver tone that does not tarnish or lose its gleam.

Someone's not looking his best! Simon Cowell sports grey locks and tatty jeans at Britain's Got Talent auditions

He is said to use vitamin injections, placenta facials and botox in a bid to keep a youthful appearance but it appears Simon Cowell has neglected her hair care regime.
The 53-year-old music mogul was seen sporting a grey barnet as he arrived at the Britain's Got Talent auditions on Wednesday.
Simon's hair was considerably lighter around the sides of his head and even showed off flecks of white follicles.

The X Factor USA judge had also paid little attention to his wardrobe, stepping out in a pair of worn jeans that were rather tatty at the bottom.
The trousers were much too long for the diminutive TV personality and had frayed from being dragged along the floor.
Given Simon's net worth, which was estimated at £220million last year, you would have thought he could have splashed out on a new outfit for the first day of the auditions.

Ahead of her arrival at the Millennium Centre, Alesha had been enjoying some Twitter banter with David.
After one of the auditionees complained it was freezing waiting for the judges to arrive, David replied: 'I will be there first. The other judges all take about 10 hours in make-up.'
Alesha then replied: '2 actually.'
