Kate Hudson to sue over weight stories

LONDON—Hollywood actress Kate Hudson, star of “The Skeleton Key,” instructed lawyers to begin action on Monday against several publications for printing pictures which she said falsely implied she had an eating disorder. Hudson, daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, claims the pictures “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,” her lawyers said.
The images, and the articles that accompanied them, could also prove damaging to her career as it might raise concern amongst casting agents, London law firm Schillings added. The publications included U.S. tabloid The National Enquirer for its article last month titled “Goldie tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens!” British magazine Heat and the Daily Mail UK newspaper are also cited.—Agencies
