The staple of romantic comedies since she got nominated for an Oscar for the rock tale/chick flick Almost Famous has definitely gone downhill since. Kate Hudson, the bright-eyed, wide-smiled daughter of screen legend Goldie Hawn has done her best to separate herself from her famous mom, but this latest attempt at originality has gotten her seriously fug. Yup, she’s traded her golden blonde locks for a yucky shit-brown shade that looked like the dye was applied by blind people. And to make things worse, she seemed to have packed on the pounds, especially around the hips and neck. Guzzling down a plastic-cup full of what’s probably beer and walking around looking like some loud-mouthed trailer trash whore, one can’t help but wonder – What the hell happened to Kate Hudson?
Well, the answer is simple: It’s for a movie. Yup, this drastic change in her appearance is the result of her latest film called The Killer Inside Me where she plays a small-town white trash girl (hence the fug hair and the extra poundage) who may or may not be involved with a serial killer. This is Kate’s second horror/suspense film after the 2005 flop The Skeleton Key and she maybe didn’t learn her lesson that time so she’s hoping for another flop. Flops aren’t always difficult for her of late. After her only hit How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days, she’s pretty much been downhill – career-wise – with flop after flop. Alex & Emma, Le Divorce, Raising Helen, You Me and Dupree… and the list goes on. Even her last release Bride Wars failed to catch the bouquet at the box office and ended up an old maid. So it’s easy to think that this latest incarnation of Kate is a result of depression and binge eating as the result of her failing stardom.
Well, let’s hope that this movie project will be good for her. She’ll be coming out in the fall all swinging, dancing, and singing in Rob Marshall’s adaptation of the hit broadway musical Nine – ergo Oscar bait for 2010. Then come summer or early fall of that year we’ll get to see this fug version of Kate acting alongside Jessica Alba, Casey Affleck and Simon Baker. And who knows, maybe all this fat and shit-hair will actually make people think differently about Kate – see her as more than just a RomCom gal. But if I were her, I would stick to what people want to see me in. I mean, look at what happened to Meg Ryan. If it ain’t broke Kate, don’t fix it. But if it’s a crazy Hollywood fix you’re after, head on over here and check out the hottest and most embarassing celeb moments this side of the net.
