Kate Winslet to take on role for King Charles' charity
Kate Winslet has become the latest celebrity to become an ambassador for the King's charity. The Oscar-winning actress said she was thrilled to take on the role at The King's Foundation, following in the footsteps of David Beckham, Sienna Miller, Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster. Winslet recently joined the King at the charity's awards ceremony at London's St James's Palace, where she told him: "Don't worry, I'll be all in - I've got your back." After the announcement, the British star said: "One of my passions is exploring ways that we can protect and promote the natural world - something I have in common with His Majesty." Winslet added the foundation's work protecting the planet and encouraging young people to learn about the "beautiful" countryside was "deeply important" to her. She said she was looking forward to collaborating with the other ambassadors on how to make a difference. Other famous names who have signed up as ambassadors include UK TV stars Sarah Beeny, Patrick Grant, George Clarke, Alan Titchmarsh, musician and presenter Jools Holland. The King's Foundation, previously known as The Prince's Foundation following an amalgamation of Charles's charities in the year he turned 70, aims to "advocate for the change His Majesty wants to see in the world". It works to train the next generation of young craftspeople in heritage and endangered skills such as millinery, embroidery and woodworking, but also focuses on sustainability, farming and agriculture, health and wellbeing, and architecture and urbanism.

I became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN, says Violet McGraw
Violet McGraw "became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN". The 14-year-old actress didn't really know what AI was until she filmed 2022's M3GAN, and Violet admits that starring in the movie franchise has made her more cautious of the technology. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Violet shared: "I became more cautious of AI because of M3GAN. It scares me a little bit, and I never would've thought of it that way if I wasn't in M3GAN." Violet plays the part of Cady, who is sent to live with her aunt Gemma, a roboticist, in the horror franchise. And the actress admits that she developed an affinity with M3GAN, the child-sized humanoid robot doll that's powered by AI, during filming. Violet said: "I love M3GAN so much. If there was a M3GAN in real life, which probably should never happen, I would totally be best friends with her." Violet has reprised the role of Cady to star in M3GAN 2.0, and the actress feels her character has evolved since the last movie. She explained: "Cady is definitely getting more into tech after the first movie, but Gemma isn't a big fan of that because she doesn't want Cady to turn into her or make another M3GAN for that matter." Meanwhile, Violet previously revealed that she's eager to star in an action movie. The teenage star is delighted that M3GAN 2.0 features some thrilling action scenes, and Violet is hopeful of landing a role in a big action blockbuster. Asked if making M3GAN 2.0 felt different because it features more intense scenes, Violet told SFX magazine: "Definitely. "Everyone got older; Amie [Donald, who plays 'M3GAN'] got older. It was a different vibe, but with the same family, and same crew. "It made me want to do an action film so bad. "I'm waiting patiently." Violet originally wanted to be a stunt person, and so she would jump at the chance to star in some action scenes. The actress explained: "I love doing stunts, so whenever I get a chance to do my own stunts, I just get so happy. "I used to want to be a stunt person." M3GAN 2.0 features an upgraded version of the humanoid robot doll, and Violet was left stunned by how "insane" the robot looked and acted. The movie star said: "It had been a long time since I'd seen her, but she's just so upgraded - it's insane. "She's faster, stronger and more lethal than before. There's a picture of me when I first saw the 2.0 doll. And I was like, 'Wow!' "Your eyes get so confused because you think you're talking to a human being. "It feels like there's a real living person in front of me. And it basically is."
