Kate Hudson is taking legal action against five publications for displaying 'skinny' pictures and making comments that suggest she is suffering from an eating disorder.

She is most upset with the "National Enquirer" for an article entitled "Goldie tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens!".
The other four publications are the British tabloids Heat, Daily Mail UK, Star and Closer. They have all published the pictures in which Kate looks dangerously thin.

Hudson has urged her lawyers from London firm Schillings to start legal action. So the five publications have received letters and given seven days to respond to the complaint, if not the lawyers are to issue writs against them. If the case is not settled, it will go to jury trial at the High Court in London next year.

Schillings declared that the images were "used to accompany and illustrate articles which 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".
The pictures could also be "of commercial and artistic concern to those who might cast her in movies and choose to use her image to endorse products", the lawyers added.

Kate Hudson wasn't the only one targeted for being thin.
Earlier this year, "Heat" had published a list of "20 skinniest celebrities" that included, amongst others, Nicole Kidman, Victoria Beckham, Ren�e Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Terri Hatcher, Lindsay Lohan and Nicky Hilton.
