When you’re a celebrity, weight can become a very delicate subject, as Kate Hudson is finding out at the moment. Get pictured with a double chin and you’re a great big fat munter; but lose the double chin, and suddenly you have a grave eating disorder.

Kate Hudson is angry that a few publications printed snaps of her looking a bit skinny, and now she’s getting ready to sue them.

Kate Hudson (DVDs), daughter of Goldie Horn and star of Almost Famous, How
To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and Skeleton Key, is skinny, but not that
skinny.

So when she read an article in National Enquirer entitled Goldie
tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens!, she wasn’t very happy. Not
because a story about a woman telling her daughter to eat is a bit crap, but because the article apparently insinuated that Hudson
was so skinny that her family was worried stiff.

Then a number of British publications, including Heat, Star, The
Daily Mail and Closer, printed pictures showing what appeared to be a
dangerously skinny Kate Hudson. Kate has complained to these
publications, who now have seven days to respond before she gets London law firm Schillings to issue writs against them. Schillings said the
images were:

"Used to accompany and illustrate
articles which suggested that she had an eating disorder that was so
grave and serious that she was wasting away to the extreme concern of
her mother and family".

If the case is not settled, it is likely to go to a jury trial in the High Court next year, where Kate Hudson will argue that:

"The images in question gave a seriously false and misleading
impression as to her true physical condition, in that she was portrayed
as being dangerously thin with an eating disorder, which is contrary to
the true position of her weight and diet being of a healthy nature,
both at the time of the images being taken and at present".
