Kate Hudson February 2009 Elle Cover Photo

Kate Hudson graces the February 2009 Elle cover looking oh-so-lovely - such a relief from seeing those bangs-gone-wrong in the Bride Wars previews.But, speaking of Bride Wars, you can catch Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway in all their comedic glory when the film opens in theaters January 9.

Kate’s take 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.”
