i thought this thread was going to be another Big Brother game!

There's a piece on MSN news on this story too, in which it says that Kate Winslett and Leonardo di Caprio stepped in to pay her nursing home fees of £3,000 per month for the last month as she'd been forced to sell off practically all her memorabilia.

Nothing to stop it being turned into a floating casino now then, is there?

She's not really a survivor, though, is she?

At 9 weeks old, I doubt she ran the length of the ship, bounded women and children into a lifeboat, lowered it safely into the sea and swept them to safety.


If she did, then fair play.

She survived the sinking, so what else can she be, she's not a victim! :unsure:

What memorablia did she have if she was only 9 weeks old when it went down? They must teach these thieves early is all i can say!

All those years at sea freezing her nips off...She sounds like one tough bird...
