Phony Bogus Fake False Celebrity Social Media Pages
While Kate Winslet faces disapproval for a recent role that probably isn’t what currently infuriates her the most.
The Brit beauty has been stung by attacks over her nude scenes in controversial movie The Reader - in which she plays a Nazi concentration camp guard who falls for a teenage boy.

False sites in her name have overtaken the number created for Britney Spears, the pop star, Sarah Palin, the colourful Republican former vice-presidential candidate, and President Barack Obama.
