In her dreams, the beautiful daughter of Goldie Hawn sees herself away from Hollywood, selling her own handmade beauty products. She longs for a quieter life with husband Chris Robinson and their baby son Ryder.

She confessed: "Every day I tell my husband, 'Maybe we should cash in.
I'll make handmade lotions and you can write music and sell it on the Internet'."

But, when not dreaming, Kate is suing magazines in order to defend her image. She has recently filed legal action against five publications for displaying 'skinny' pictures of her and making comments that suggest she is suffering from an eating disorder.

Her lawyers had declared that the articles in question, along with the pictures, could be "of commercial and artistic concern to those who might cast her in movies and choose to use her image to endorse products", and, therefore are a potential threat for Kate's career.

So, plans to quit Hollywood are indefinitely postponed...

Kate Hudson's latest projects include comedy "You, Me and Dupree", currently filming, starring names such as Michael Douglas and Matt Dillon, and "Sleight of Mind" drama, to start shooting early next year.
