Lawyers for Kate Winslet say the actress has accepted 25,000 pounds (more than $40,000) in damages after the London Daily Mail falsely reported that she lied about her exercise regime.
Winslet was not in court for Tuesday's settlement but through her lawyers said she wanted an apology "to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise."
In 2007, Winslet won damages against a British magazine that wrongly stated she had visited a diet doctor.
Associated Newspapers, owners of the Daily Mail, apologized for "any distress caused."
