Kate Hudson On Her Desire To "Smack" Paparazzi, Not Playing A Hooker

Kate Hudson graces the February 2009 cover of Elle Magazine, and she talks about her ire for the paparazzi and choosing darker roles. She stars in "Bride Wars" with Anne Hathaway, out January 9.

On the paparazzi:

"They've become an entity to themselves... But eventually they'll implode. They're creating a house of cards that will inevitably fall. These are not nice people. When you're taking your child to school, and they're trying to get on school property to get a picture, it literally makes you want to just smack them."

On her acting range:

"I could be in an interview and people would keep going, 'So why do you always do romantic comedies?' Do I want to do darker roles? Of course. It has to be the right thing, though. I'm not just going to, like, make a movie that's, Oh, she's a whore, prostitute, and heroin addict."

The article also talks to Jennifer Meyer, wife of Tobey Maguire and childhood classmate of Hudson. Jennifer remembers Kate getting sent home for wearing her skirts too short in high school.

mediocre talent.

AT BEST.

you should be thanking them.

This must be the down side of fame and mega-wealth. Oh, well.... there's always a price to pay in life.

I'm only a fan of hers for two reasons. She's a look-a-like daughter of Goldie Hawn and did a pretty good job in "Almost Famous." Her personal life does seem rather yucky. Just an opinion, not a hater.

[swiss-ski]

This is news?

[sloreader]

Who? I am not sure if I have heard of her before.

[HARVIN]

Kate doesn't want to "play' a hooker.It would be like Tiger Woods "playing" a golfer.

[drumz]

Is that supposed to be funny? If so, you are imbalanced and most likely a republicreep.

[JoeHurley]

How demacrappie of you.

[Bmantra]

I may be in the minority but I've never undrstood her appeal. She is not a very good actress. I always thought her mom was great.

Man, people on here are flat out VICIOUS to celebrities, particularly female celebs. Sure, she's a second generation pretty face in show business, but I don't think that invalidates her point that the paparazzi is getting crazy. Is she wrong to suggest getting hounded when you take your kids to elementary school is a little excessive?

[unfettered]

I thought she was a hooker in most of her movies.

[broody]

Kate Hudson is good. This movie with Anne is going to be a hit.
I like her. Check out some of her photo albums:

Kate, You aren't that fabulous. You aren't that talented. The paps probably track you down because your refuse to give your poor kid a hair cut (oh yeah, and you rival Sienna Miller for most boyfriends in the past two years). If you weren't Goldie's daughter I think you'd be flipping burgers or working at Walmart.

Get over yourself. We all have.

[brooklyncitizen]

Is this kind of posting cathartic for you?

[Pastprologue]

It is for me.

[randyfitzimmons]

I meant so say, consider yourself 'lucky' you were born to fame (below).

I like Kate Hudson. She is pretty and funny. She is a descent actress. I like her, and if she challenges herself she will eventually grow as an actress. I don't care about her personal life, that is her business. I sometimes read the stupid celebrity magazines and they are so dumb, I can see why it would anger movie stars. The majority of times, they are lying. Their sources always seem so fake. And its always about celebrities personal lives. Who really cares. I hope the magazines eventually lose their appeal. And people will stop buying them.

[randyfitzimmons]

Dear Kate,

You don't need to live in LA. You should also consider yourself born to fame, otherwise people would have stopped caring about you long ago.

[lizziekw]

Oh honey, please. Celebrities are in a mutually dependent relationship with the paparazzi. They need their photographs in magazines, on entertainment programs and on the internet. It keeps them in the public eye. The more interested the public is in reading and seeing them, the more roles they are offered and the more money they are paid.

Celebrities whining about the paparazzi are like seafood chefs whining about fishermen. They need each other.

[defdes]

That maybe true for "celebrities" but certainly not for "stars". I.E. those who garner buzz and publicity for their WORK and not who they are, where they are, or who they are with certainly don't need these pariah. As far as I am concerned they, those who pay their salaries, and those who pay service to tabloid journalism, should be rounded up and...(place bitter, painful, tragic ending here).
