It’s almost impossible to imagine Titanic without Kate and Leo. In fact, I hardly reference their characters as Rose and Jack. Unlikely as it may seem, a surprising amount of other A-List celebs auditioned for those highly coveted roles. Can you picture Madonna as Rose and Johnny Depp as Jack? Me either. But they auditioned! Also notable are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Can you imagine if the on-set romance would have brought them together back then? They’d have like 14 kids by now! In honor of Titanic’s release in 3D, we put together a list of all the actors and actresses who were vying for Kate and Leo’s spots. If you haven’t had a chance to see the movie in 3D, do so immediately. The visuals are stunning, and the story, well, it’s like watching it for the very first time.

Would you have chosen any of the other contenders? Who is the most shocking?

True love never dies, as evidenced by the fact that we still love Titanic, even after 15 years. Can you believe it’s been that long since we were begging our parents to let us go see the movie just one more time? We can’t wait to relive the magic all over again when Titanic 3D hits theaters on April 4.

CC was lucky enough to snag a spot at the London premiere of Titanic 3D yesterday, and naturally we snapped some photos just for you. Kate Winslet was looking fabulous, as always. And the stars seemed to enjoy the movie.

Billy Zane said, “I haven’t seen Titanic in 14 years, but I have to say my acting skills look better in 3D.”

There you have it. Everything is better in 3D. Check out our exclusive photos from the event to tide you over until you can see the bigger, better Titanic for yourself!

The Grammy Awards, also known as music’s biggest night, will air live on February 12…this Sunday! From the crazy fashion outfits to the latest concoction Lady Gaga will use to make her entrance, anything can happen. This award ceremony is unique because it is solely dedicated to contributions in the music industry. And while most of the winners are, well, musicians, there are a select few that take on double duty.

In honor of the 2012 Grammys, here’s a list of 12 actors who have brought home the coveted Gramophone.

The new Titanic 3D trailer was released and, shocker, it’s basically the same as the original one. Does this make us any less excited to haul it to the movies once (or seven times) again to squeal when Jack draws Rose all nakey or shed silent tears for all the poor kids who weren’t special enough to make it into a lifeboat? Of course not!

While the re-release of one of our generation’s most epic movies causes our heart to pitter patter with delight, we can’t help but think this whole 3D business isn’t really suited for a movie like Titanic. I mean, really, think about it…

1. “…until finally she’s got her whole ass sticking up in the air – And that’s a big ass, we’re talking 20-30,000 tons.”

Do you remember that eloquent scientist dude from the beginning of the movie? Well, he pretty much hit the nail on the head when it came to describing the horrific fate of Titanic. Are we sure audiences want to see that much death and destruction in 3D? Personally, I’m fine taking his word for it re: the 30,000 tons of boat ass sticking up in the air. No need to don some ugly glasses just to experience it more realistically.

2. We realize Kate Winslet wasn’t always as glamorous as she is now.

Before you throw me under a bus or come after me with a machete, hear me out. She was 22 when Titanic filmed. I love Kate, but she had yet to come into her own. (Her hair was a little off color and oddly styled, her skin a bit too pale, am I the only one who thinks her nose was different?) In 3D this point will only be accentuated. Especially when compared to Leo’s glorious youthful looks, which bring me to…

3. We’re still wildly attracted to mid-20s Leonardo DiCaprio.

Is he a little bloated now? Does he have a few more lines in his face? Well, we didn’t really notice before, but now that we’re presented with a gorgeous 3D Leo from 1997, we feel creepy and lusty at the same time. Moral crossroads!

4. You know you’re going to see it.

As an intelligent, opinionated, well-rounded college woman, are you sure you want to admit to sitting in a movie theater for three hours watching this cornfest unfold in all it’s tragic, teary glory? And sobbing between bites of Junior Mints? And loving every minute of it?

1. Justin Timerlake hosting: JT on Saturday Night Live is the best thing since sliced bread. He wasn’t even in The Lonely Island performance! Yeah he won the Emmy for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, but I was expecting him to at least be there. JT was no where to be found. I think Jane Lynch was good, though I’d rather her played the host role as Sue Sylvester instead. You hear that Emmy Academy? JT for 2012 host!

2. Charlie Sheen and Ashton Kutcher throw down: While the MaSheen kept it classy like San Diego, it would have been pretty awesome to see a fight between him and Ashton instead of Jimmy Fallon vs. Jimmy Kimmel. Charlie is trying to clean up his act, but a shirtless Michael Kelso fighting over tiger blood would have been much appreciated.

3. Modern Family wouldn’t have won every.single.thing: I love Modern Family, it’s hilarious. But it was one of those situations where you start to hate that movie that wins all of the Oscars. Same thing. I’m not saying they didn’t deserve their awards, but I wanted to see some other shows get credit where it’s due as well.

4. Kate Winslet would have kissed everyone: I don’t think anyone was shocked when Kate kissed Mildred Pierce costar, Guy Pearce, since she always kisses those in her vicinity. How awesome would it have been for her to go all Britney and Madonna and plant one on Claire Danes and Hugh Laurie?

5. Steve Carrell would have finally won: I can’t get over the fact that Steve Carrell didn’t win an Emmy after his final season on The Office. I’m really bitter about it. He’s been nominated every year, and the man is beyond deserving as I’m pretty sure he actually is Michael Scott in real life.

6. The Lonely Island would replace The Emmytunes: I can’t tell you how much I obsess over Zachary Levi and Colbie Smulders, but the Emmytunes were awkward and totes unnecessary. I really wasn’t sure of the purpose of that song group, but I know if The Lonely Island were singing during those weird moments in the show it would have actually been funny.

7. Entourage would have at least been nominated for something: Where was love for Vince, Drama, Turtle, E, and Ari? With it being the year of their last season, I expected one nomination. Sure, the boys will be back for the movie soon, but this was the end! I loved seeing them walk on stage in true Entourage fashion, though I would have rather them all been holding shiny gold trophies.

8. The Colbert Report would have upset The Daily Show: Do I watch both of these in place of real news? Absolutely. The Daily Show always wins, and if you couldn’t tell it was a running joke throughout the awards. How great would it have been if The Colbert Report actually took a win from The Daily Show? Beyond amazing.

9. There would have been more pageantry: One of my favorite parts of the night was when all of our favorite funny ladies mocked pageants and sauntered on stage, waiting for their crowning moment. Impromptu silliness like that is what separates the Emmys from other awards shows. The Emmys are supposed to be fun and outrageous, which is why that bit was so funny.

10. Christina Hendricks boobs would have been even bigger: Seriously girlfriend, you’re foxy. But I feel like you’re going to crumble under the weight of your ta-tas.

Every day we’re bombarded with a million different messages about what we are supposed to look like. And tell you what, our not-so-scientific-yet-totally-accurate visual research proves that 99% of girls out there don’t fit the mold. So instead of telling you how to wear your hair, or how much weight to lose, or which one of Heidi Montag’s many surgeries to get (because, really, look where that got her), we’re going to celebrate these so-called beauty flaws with beautiful women every single week.

Last week we celebrated the natural nose. Today, let’s talk about curves.

It’s no secret that Hollywood likes their actresses to look anorexic-chic. But that doesn’t mean that all the women in Hollywood are conforming to that reasonable ridiculous standard. This week we’re putting on a spotlight on the curvy and voluptuous celebrities who haven’t let their bigger bodies stop them from having even bigger careers.

If you’re not a huge gossiper/have a subscription to every tabloid/read the gossip blogs religiously/understand the issue that is Suri Cruise’s choice in footwear, it’s hard to understand what all your crazy, celebrity-obsessed friends are talking about. I mean, it’s hard enough to tell the Jonas Brothers apart – how does anyone keep up with Britney Spears’ relationship status (are they on? off? on? is she shaving her head again?!)?

It’s exhausting and you’ve got more important things to do than look at who Perez Hilton is drawing penises on this week. So let me help and be your Cliff’s Notes of gossip. I’ll bring you the 5 biggest Hollywood happenings of the week so you know what’s going on to the most important people on earth. (That was sarcasm, in case you didn’t get it.)

1. Obviously, the top news in La La Land is the alleged infidelities of Jesse James against his wife, Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock. According to sources, James had an 11-month affair with tattoo model, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee. Although there are conflicting stories, Jesse James issued an apology this week saying, “The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.” He continued, apologizing to his wife and children. Sandra Bullock moved out of their home on Monday and pulled out of the UK premiere of The Blind Side due to “unforeseen personal circumstances.” There’s a lot left to come out of this story, so let’s hope it’s not another Tiger Woods saga.

2. Speaking of which, one of Tiger’s 4,587 big boobed mistresses launched a website today called Sexting Joslyn James where you can read all the naughty (and I mean naughty!) things Tiger sent to the lovely porn star. Seriously, this guy likes it freaky.

3. In still more relationship news, Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes officially split this week after going through a trial separation when things hit a rough patch while filming together on Revolutionary Road. Rumors have been circulating that Mendes may have cheated with actress Rebecca Hall, but his rep quickly denied those allegations. The pair split amicably and want to remain friends for the sake of their kids. Kate is supposedly relying on her good friend, Leonardo DeCaprio for support during this difficult time. Perhaps he’ll ditch Bar Rafaeli and give us all the happy ending we’ve been waiting for!?

4. The Runaways, and that “steamy” kiss shared by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart we’ve all been hearing about, opens today. Will it be more than just a girl on girl kiss between everyone’s favorite child actress and that Twilight girl who never smiles? We’ll have to wait and see.

5. Shiloh Jolie Pitt is still being criticized for wearing pants and having a short haircut. The tabloids are tearing her (a very small child) apart and wonder WTF is happening in the Jolie-Pitt chalet that could lead to such a travesty. It is so serious, in fact, that this story was in 2 magazines this week. TWO!

In Other News…
1. Sarah McLachlan just announced she’ll be releasing a new album on June 15! She hasn’t done new material for 7 years except those depressing animal commercials, so this is something to look forward to!

2. Heidi Montag fired her creepy, pyschic manager after only a few days. She’s been filming her cameo (alongside her boobs) on the set of Adam Sandler’s new movie Just Go With It. Also her and Spencer no longer want to be referred to as Speidi since he isn’t her manager anymore. Right.

3. Betty White said this week that the producers of Dancing With The Stars have been after her for the next season! She declined the offer because well she’s old! Waaahhhh (Snooki voice). But you can catch Betty White on Saturday Night Live May 8!

4. Chelsea Handler’s new book Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang was released this week. Go out and grab it!

5. Robert Pattinson is still hot.
