Kate Winslet is planning to take legal action against  British magazine Grazia into court over their claims she visited a US 'diet doctor' to slim down. Grazia magazine ran a story in its 12th February 2007 edition claiming she was taking desperate measures to shed weight by visiting a Chinese Healing Institute in Santa Monica, California, where she also addressed neck pain. Speaking at last night's BAFTA awards in London, Kate Winslet said, "I'm very upset, it's categorically untrue, it's a complete lie." The mother of two continued: "What I resent is that there is an image of perfection that is getting thinner and thinner. It's so damaging... and it frightens the life out of me." "I don't want people thinking that I would ever go to a diet doctor. I never have done, and I never will," Winslet told BBC's Radio 1. "I know I am a role model to young women, it's a role I take very very seriously. I would never want anyone to think I was a hypocrite."
