Hudson sues over eating disorder reports
Monday 7 November 2005
Hudson claims that the pictures and articles printed "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 actress also claims that the reports could be damaging to her career when it comes to casting, according to London law firm Schillings.
Among the publications cited in the legal action are Heat magazine, the Daily Mail and The National Enquirer, which had an article entitled: "Goldie tells Kate: Eat Something! And She Listens!".
A statement released by her lawyers said: "Ms Hudson will argue in the courts that the images in question gave a seriously false and misleading impression as to her true physical condition, in that she was portrayed as being dangerously thin with an eating disorder."

- Golf: PGA Championship
Golf is one sport that looks amazing on TV, so here's another treat for couch potatoes. Hazel Irvine presents live coverage of the fourth and final round at Wentworth. Last year's final day culminated in a dramatic play-off between Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, and it was the former who emerged victorious to take the world number one spot off his compatriot. With so many Europeans dominating the top of the World rankings, viewers can expect a tight contest (and maybe an Irish win).
