Hudson Is People's Most Beautiful Woman

CBS
Posted: 2008-04-30 10:34:46
(April 30) - (CBS) And the cover girl of the People magazine issue containing its latest "Most Beautiful" people list is -- Kate Hudson.

Editors chose her from among the 100 celebs who made it. The issue hits newsstands Friday.

People Senior Editor Galina Espinoza gave Russ Mitchell and Early Show viewers a sneak peek at the list Wednesday.

Want More Beauty? Sneak a peek at PEOPLE's full list and see top stars' biggest beauty blunders.

It ranged from Halle Berry, who made it for the 12th time, a record, to Miley Cyrus, 15, in the news the last few days in a less favorable light.

Hudson displaces Drew Barrymore, last year's cover subject.

Espinoza says Hudson "just embodies such an incredible natural beauty that is in vogue right now. We've gotten so accustomed to celebrities getting breast implants and nose jobs, and she will talk about being flat-chested and having a little bit of an offbeat look."

Espinoza added that Hudson embraces everything about her body, and that's one of the main things People staffers love about her.

The selection process for the list is fairly easy, Espinoza notes: Throughout the year, editors see pictures of the celebs every day, so they they're very familiar with the people they consider including.

Hudson is dating Owen Wilson again, Espinoza observes, and she has a movie with Anne Hathaway coming out. Hudson is a good mother and has a great relationship with her ex-husband.

"She seems comfortable with herself," Espinoza points out. "We have loved seeing her grow and evolve. She came on the scene as Goldie Hawn's daughter, then she became a mother. She has emerged as this strong, independent woman who revels in all of the roles that she has both personally and professionally."

Among others on the list:

THE HALL OF FAME: These all-stars have made our list so many times, they needed a list all to themselves:

Halle Berry Age: 41, Appearances: 12

Nicole Kidman Age: 40, Appearances: 9

Jennifer Lopez Age: 38, Appearances: 8

George Clooney Age: 47, Appearances: 8

Brad Pitt Age: 44, Appearances: 8

Angelina Jolie Age: 32, Appearances: 6

Matthew McConaughey Age: 38, Appearances: 5

Johnny Depp Age: 44, Appearances: 5

Jessica Simpson Age: 27, Appearances: 5

Alicia Keys Age: 28, Appearances: 5

Beyonce Age: 26, Appearances: 5

Berry leads the repeaters pack with 12 appearances, followed by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman.

When asked why they have made the list so many times, Espinoza responded, "These are the people who have really emerged as true style icons. They are not flashes in the pan."

She says these people have enduring careers and, as a result, have to change their look periodically. For instance, Jennifer Lopez is good at reinventing herself. Currently, she's a beautiful new mom. That said, not all celebrities have to change their look. George Clooney doesn't change that much. Espinoza says he just gets better with age!

About Berry, Espinoza remarks, "There is no question that she is one of the most beautiful women in the world, and we are seeing her evolve before our eyes. She is also a new mother. We saw her just this past weekend. You can't help but think, 'Wow!' She doesn't even look like she just had a baby. ... You can't help but think, 'How does she do it? ' "

Kate Hudson is cute at her best. Selma is beautiful, and Carrie Underwood would be beautiful if she had a different nose. Julianne Moore has great facial structure, but most are not truly beautiful. Any time of the day girls more beautiful can be seen throughout every city. I am thankful Amy Winehouse wasn't on the list.

I don't know why in the world Nicole Kidman ever made this list. She and Rene Zellweger are not pretty. Beyonce is pretty, I think Halle is timeless, but seriously, Kate Hudson? Salma Hayek is better looking. I can think of a dozen celebs right now that put Hudson to shame.

I think Beyonce and Halle Berry should be the only two and it shold be named Top Two

this is the stupidest article ive ever seen. first of all, julia roberts shouldnt even be in the same state as the top 100, nor should she be used in the same sentence as the top 100, nor would she make the top 100 list of weirdest looking, most over-rated beauty if there were only 99 in the world. second, i wish people would stop giving a sh*t about stupid celebrities. your pathetic gawking, abhorrent interest, and incessant gossip and "keeping track of their lives" like you actually know them or they actually care about you, is just fueling the flame of their already too inflated egos and their self-centered arrogant selves , that hardly should be a role model to anyone. just because all people care to do nowadays is watch mtv, all the stupid celebrity shows, read these stupid headlines, and shop for the same stuff so they can look exactly like them. well, reality check. these people are stupid, untalented, spoiled brats, and they are the 1% of the population that were lucky enough t

I think everyone just needs to get over it. Who cares. We are a society obsessed with youth, glamour, and wealth. There are more important things going on in this country and throughout the world than the 50 Most Beautiful People.

evrvrv...all this crap about jewish bias is bull. Scarlett Johanson is beautiful and so is Kate hudson. You are extremely ignorant to believe that these people are elected based on this fact alone. look at all of the other people that don't belong in the top 50....are they jewish as well?

kll th prm queen 08:19:09 PM May 02 2008

She is amazing, she is a great rolemodel to people. She is truly one, she is kind and caring, and she is beautiful on the outside. Inside is what counts more though, that's the real beauty, and she truly has it.
