Kate Hudson is deeply boring in 'Elle' magazine

Quick: name the last decent movie starring Kate Hudson. Other than 'Almost Famous.' You can't do it, can you? That's because Kate Hudson has made one piece of crap film after another since her breakthrough performance. But somehow, she has landed on the cover of Elle magazine's February 2009 issue, talking about how she wants to take on 'darker' roles.

Kate Hudson graces the February 2009 cover of Elle Magazine, and she talks about her ire for the paparazzi and choosing darker roles. She stars in 'Bride Wars' with Anne Hathaway, out January 9.

On the paparazzi:
'They've become an entity to themselves… But eventually they'll implode. They're creating a house of cards that will inevitably fall. These are not nice people. When you're taking your child to school, and they're trying to get on school property to get a picture, it literally makes you want to just smack them.'
On her acting range:

'I could be in an interview and people would keep going, ‘So why do you always do romantic comedies?' Do I want to do darker roles? Of course. It has to be the right thing, though. I'm not just going to, like, make a movie that's, Oh, she's a whore, prostitute, and heroin addict.'

The article also talks to Jennifer Meyer, wife of Tobey Maguire and childhood classmate of Hudson. Jennifer remembers Kate getting sent home for wearing her skirts too short in high school.

Wow, she's so edgy, talking smack about the paparazzi like that! I've never heard another star complain about paps before. Blah, blah, blah. Why didn't the interviewer ask her how she feels about her ex-boyfriend, Lance Armstrong, knocking up another woman just a couple of months after their breakup? Or why Owen Wilson tried to off himself after she dumped him? Or why anyone should pay $9 to see another one of her horrible movies? Now THAT would be a fascinating read.

As for her refusal to play a prostitute or a drug addict, it sure seemed to work out okay for actresses like Julia Roberts and Charlize Theron. But who would want their careers when you can keep churning out the same bad movies year after year? Kate's latest cinema masterpiece, released in that no-man's land of January (when all the really bad movies come out), is called 'Bride Wars' and co-stars Anne Hathaway and Candice Bergen, both of whom I adore. I'm going to tell myself that Anne was drugged into agreeing to be in this movie. It looks absolutely dreadful. By the way, two of the movies that Kate Hudson starred in last year, 'Fool's Gold' with Matthew McConaughey and 'My Best Friend's Girl' with Dane Cook, have been named to numerous 'Worst Movies of 2008″ critics' lists. Way to go, Kate!

Here's the trailer for Bride Wars:
