Kate Hudson Gets Apology for Being Called Too Thin

The British 'National Enquirer' pays again

The Oscar nominated actress won the case against the tabloid, in a trial initiated by her last year. In October 2005, the 'National Enquirer' published a story titled 'Goldie Tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens', according to which the actress was so thin because of an eating disorder.

The article also came with a bunch of pictures, making her look as if she really starved herself. Kate's lawyer said that the tabloid implied that she had, quote, 'recklessly and foolishly endangered her health by deliberately starving herself'.

The allegations were proved false in court, as the actress had just lost some weight after giving birth to her son, but not because she was embarking on another movie project, like the 'Enquirer' claimed.

This is the second time in just a week that the British issue of the newspaper is apologizing to a star. But, unlike the case with Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's marriage, this time it has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum of money, besides printing an apology in the next issue.

The actress said in an interview: 'The allegations that I sued over were blatantly false, and I felt I had no choice but to set the record straight by challenging them in court'. No word yet on whether the other tabloids she had taken legal action against are to pay in the same manner as the 'National Enquirer' did or not.
