People magazine named Kate Hudson it’s Most Beautiful Person in its annual “100 Most Beautiful” issue. Then again, Rumer Willis was also included on the list, so you can imagine how much authority this thing carries. [People]
Even though Owen Wilson is re-romancing Kate Hudson, the blitz of publicity from the tabloids didn’t help his film career any. Comedy Drillbit Taylor took in only $10 million over the weekend. By ways of comparison, a single set of photos of the blonde couple holding hands swept up $100,000, or 1 percent of the movie’s opening gross.
Even after spending $6 million for Jennifer Lopez’s new twins, People magazine couldn’t resist also being the magazine that scored those first pics of Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson holding hands. (Smart move keeping Marc Anthony off the cover though!) Us Weekly is said to have dropped out of the bidding for the photos, proving too costly at around $100,000, and was instead forced to go with (yet another) Lauren Conrad cover.
Since none of the celebrity tabloids that hit newsstands today have the $100,000 photos of Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson holding hands, we can only assume People magazine was the highest bidder. We’ll know tomorrow.
In the latest round of overpriced celebrity photos, we’re hearing Splash News’ exclusive pictures of Kate Hudson holding hands with Owen Wilson in Miami are commanding a whopping six-figure sum.
The photos, caption writers will lead you to believe, are the first evidence the twosome have resumed their romance since A) he tried killing himself; and B) rumors surfaced that they began dating again. And those caption writers would be correct!
One source suggests only Us Weekly and People have the budgets to remain in the bidding war against each other, where the price of the pics is expected to go for over $100,000.
The photos will also provide the winning tabloid with a nice sidebar: It’s been reported Owen Wilson had been romancing Marley & Me co-star Jennifer Aniston, which, of course, is now totally false because he’s totally in love with his old blonde flame and would never risk his mental stability to date two A-listers at once.

RUMOR OF THE DAY Kate Hudson is carrying Justin Timberlake’s Sexy Baby. “What about Jessica Biel?” “Was Us Weekly hiding this from me?” you might ask. Well it’s all gossip, but allegedly they’ve been shagging for a year. It’s been on the L because Kate Hudson doesn’t want to be responsible for any more awkward situations and or become the next Cameron Diaz. This can end in one of two ways: Kate Hudson will lose weight or she will have the most awkward People magazine spread ever. [Hollyscoop]
• Jennifer Lopez has set the birth of her twins for February 14. Cheesy, sure, but a total J. Lo move. What we do judge is planning her c-section on a Thursday, for the benefit of the tabs. If that’s true, he deserves every forthcoming invasion of privacy.
