Kate Hudson has won an “undisclosed sum” against a UK Enquirer magazine which falsely represented her as being so skinny that her mother Goldie Hawn had said (as a headline): “Eat Something!”

Of course Hawn claims she never told her daughter any such thing. Keep in mind this is the same magazine, er tabloid, that wrongly reported Britney Spears was getting a divorce and had to apologize for that too.

I find it bizarre that anybody believes what’s printed in tabloids. I thought they were intentionally quasi-fiction, half-truth publications, yes/no? I mean, come on, some of the allegations are so out there that you have to wonder. I believe what I see in the tabloids about as much as pro wrestling.

With that understanding which I put out to readers to correct me on, Hudson’s attorney’s remarks don’t sound right to me either.

[Hudson’s] lawyer, Simon Smith, told Britain’s High Court the story and pictures implied Hudson had “recklessly and foolishly endangered her health by deliberately starving herself.”

Maybe just a little bit of hyperbole there, ya think? Maybe down on their luck attorneys can double as tabloid writers.

Caption contest, should we?
Now take a closer look at a totally different picture in the screenshot above. The headline for that picture from CNN could be from daughter to mother or mother to daughter. Do we dare have a caption contest? Should we risk stoking the fires On Goldie’s Pond?

I remember Goldie Hawn fondly as being pretty hot but the picture above doesn’t catch her best side. That’s the way it goes with that unscrupulous camera eye. Her daughter, however? Schhhwing.
