Kate Hudson is a skinny little thing, isn't she? Actually, no she isn't. Kate Hudson isn't skinny at all, and anyone that says anything along the lines of "Kate Hudson is painfully thin" will get their bony behinds sued off by Kate herself.
The National Enquirer, for example, published a story last year that claimed Kate Hudson was starving herself away into "skin and bones." So Kate Hudson took the magazine to court, incensed at it for calling her skinny, and she's won undisclosed libel damages in a High Court trial. And she'll probably spend it all on cakes, the fat bitch.
It hasn't been a good week for the British edition of The National Enquirer. First it had to apologise to Britney Spears for claiming she's getting divorced to Kevin Federline and now it's feeling the sting for saying that Kate Hudson is too thin.
Nobody likes having their weight discussed in magazines, especially if they've just had a baby and they're struggling to get back in shape and their whole career is based on how they look and they're probably a bit neurotic. So when the British version of The National Enquirer published a photo of Kate Hudson looking frail and gaunt, accompanied by a story about how Kate was apparently starving herself with the headline Goldie tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens! Kate Hudson had no choice but to take The National Enquirer to court.
In the article, the magazine claimed that Kate Hudson had "recklessly and foolishly endangered her health," by getting so skinny. That was all cobblers, said Kate Hudson, who says she was just getting back in shape ready for a film role after the birth of her son. And the High Court agreed; she's just won a libel case against the magazine, and has accepted undisclosed damages and a printed apology. In a statement, Kate Hudson said:
"The allegations that I sued over were blatantly false, and I felt I had no choice but to set the record straight by challenging them in court."
We've seen a few Kate Hudson movies – not by choice – and we think that the magazine would have been better off calling her "painfully mediocre." Not that we're suggesting she is, of course. Please don't sue us.
