Simon & Schuster will publish The Golden Hat, a book by Oscar-winner Kate Winslet that will feature self-portraits of celebrities and other notable persons, including Winslet herself, all wearing a “magical” hat. The title and concept were inspired by a poem by Keli Ericsdottir, a boy suffering from a severe case of non-verbal autism whom Winslet met while narrating the documentary A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism. The poem describes a hat that enables an autistic boy to communicate with others.
Winslet’s book tells the story of her friendship with the Ericsdottir family and includes Keli’s poetry and writings. The photographed celebrities will each reflect on what their first words would be if they were suddenly able to communicate after years of silence. The list of celebrities who will be donning the magic hat includes Anna Wintour, Ben Stiller, Brigitte Lacombe, Christina Aguilera, David Souffan, Demi Moore, Don Cheadle, Elijah Wood, Ellen Page, Javier Bardem, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jude Law, Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Laura Dern, Liev Schreiber, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maria Sharapova, Marion Cottillard, Meryl Streep, Michael Kors, Naomi Watts, Pedro Almodovar, Peter Sarsgaard, and Ricky Gervais. The book is planned for November 2011.

Great! another cool fact to use against the hates >:)
Aww that’s sweet, neat idea, that sounds really cool… sound like they could make a movie about the boy even! I’m glad Christina will be in it! Can’t wait to see it.
hahahaha!! i know right. You see?THIS is how it is with xtina. She can never not stay on her strong role no matter what she goes through. All this superbowl, arrest crap is the past now and xtina has moved on yet journalists keep dwelling on it. Whatever. That’s their issue cuase xtina has moved on. Xtina’ s issues weren’t even as bad as anything as say, what britney went through. But that’s just hollywood…..they blow up everything! Well…xtina has already moved past it all so that just goes to show how “big” those problems were. Xtina is invincible from pursuing her career in ANY way she wants and that’s why haters hate. What’s the big deal anyway? What’s their problem? Lol..they’re just plain dumb, have no life and are jealous. Hollywood just hates for greedy reasons for people to read their dumb articles! Im soo excited I can already see the hot role for xtina in these coming times…..the Voice is already warming her back up. I know things will be bright from here so suck it up haters!!!! Xtina “ain’t goin no place.” She’s here to stay!
