Is Kate Hudson my spirit animal? Thoughts from the massage table.
OK, hear me out. Over the years I have had wildly inconsistent opinions about Kate Hudson, which in fairness were really just about her persona as I perceived it to be. I do not know this woman. I will never meet this woman. When I first heard that she was releasing an album and making a career pivot my initial reaction was to roll my eyes. This is very unfair, for so many reasons. Setting aside the fact that I should not be judging people AT ALL, much less people I do not know, I absolutely allowed my perception to be clouded by the reality that she is beautiful and rich and successful and talented and thin and gets to spend Christmas skiing with Goldie Hawn. But then once I caught myself thinking these very unfair thoughts (again, about a STRANGER) I realized that maybe I’m having Feelings because she’s doing the thing. I mean, I also want to strike out on a new career. I think we’re pretty close to the same age. And credit where it’s due, she is doing it in front of EVERYONE. Like if I fail at a new career very few people will know. But she’s doing it out loud like, for real. And isn’t that something to cheer on and support? I can imagine how scary this must be, and it’s the kind of fear that no amount of money or fame or Louboutins can quell. So Kate Hudson, when you read this (Kate Hudson will never read this), I wish you success and I think you have already won just by doing the thing.
Also - I think Bride Wars may have been a real missed opportunity (sorry, Casey and June). I think a karaoke scene would have been amazing. I wonder if Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway realized they could both sing and would harmonize on set? Or maybe they didn’t like each other? Or maybe they were just co-workers for a time and don’t really think of one another one way or another? Pitching it now - Kate Hudson/Anne Hathaway rendition of “Take Me Or Leave Me” from Rent. It’s a good idea, right
It was a two hour massage, guys, I had a lot of time to get into it.
