Lifestyle Kate Hudson casts off her girl-next-door image

Kate Hudson has cast off her wholesome girl-next-door image in a new series of raunchy pictures.

The stunning shots show the blonde actress oiled up in a black swimsuit with satin gloves and feline eye make-up.

Kate, whose mother is Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn, is also snapped with the same eye-catching make-up teamed with tousled hair and a sexy belted dress. The 30-year-old, who has been dating New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez for six months, revealed she has given up alcohol in preparation for a film role in which she stars as a terminally ill woman who falls for her doctor.

The star, who lost 20lbs, said, "I love my glass of wine. I love tequila. To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage, I'm not sure I've ever done that!"

Kate also used the interview to set the record straight and deny that she is engaged to Alex after she was reportedly spotted with a ring on her finger.

Feline fine

Just when you thought she couldn't get any stranger, Lady GaGa ups the ante.

The famously eccentric songbird has posed for a bizarre series of pics for cult brand Hello Kitty, designed to celebrate the famous white cat's 35th birthday. And she keeps her eyes closed throughout.

In the first, GaGa donned a jewel-encrusted bra with a matching eye-piece, Marilyn Monroe-style locks, fishnet tights and a Hello Kitty purse strung around her waist. In the second, meanwhile, she posed against a gold backdrop, with Hello Kitty's signature red bow in her hair, and manga cartoon eyes drawn over her lids.

She also donned a dress made entirely from Hello Kitty cuddly toys, and a sleeveless black leather biker jacket teamed with vertiginous Hello Kitty heels. - Daily Mail

'LiLo' 'caught kissing Jennifer Aniston's man'

It seems there is yet more heartbreak in store for unlucky-in-love Jennifer Aniston.

The Friends star has been romantically linked to her latest co-star Gerard Butler, but he's turned his attention to another Hollywood bachelorette - one Miss Lindsay Lohan.
