Kate Hudson wins a massive payout

Kate Hudson has won a massive payout from the British edition of the National Enquirer after the publication falsely accused the actress of having an eating disorder.
The British edition of the National Enquirer has agreed to pay undisclosed damages and print an apology for an October, 2005, article that claimed Hudson was "way too thin" and looked "like skin and bones," said Simon Smith, a lawyer for the 27-year-old actress.
Hudson was described as "painfully thin" by the magazine last year, and it also reported that her mother, Goldie Hawn, had begged her to eat more.
However, Thursday after a successful libel case the star was awarded undisclosed damages for any distress the article may have caused, and was granted an apology.

Simon Smith, the lawyer for Hudson, told the High Court in London his client refuted all claims in the article, saying, "Ms. Hawn has explained to me that she never had any concerns about her daughter's appearance whatsoever."
He also noted discrepancies regarding Hudson's figure in other issues of the National Enquirer, which described her as "looking great" and "stunning" at the same weight.
A relieved Hudson said after the judgment, "The allegations that I sued over were blatantly false -- I could not stand by while such lies were being perpetrated about me."
