everyone has a celebrity best friend.

well, I know I speak for the ladies on this subject - the basis of our interactions is empathy, so its only natural that part of our many daydreams is the one where we're having a cup of coffee with our celebrity best friend, gossiping like the old friends we are. See, we've been friends since *before* she was famous, (or perhaps we met by chance at a bar near some movie set) so she sees me as someone who keeps her grounded. And she's so real! Isn't it cool that we know the *real* her?

so it goes in my mind when I watch an interview of Kate Hudson. She seems so real, and very hippie-ish like myself. I could totally chill with her, light one up, and have a girlfriends' bitch fest about divorce, men and the annoyances of being famous (well, just her on that last point). She'll call me from set, and I'll hold my phone up so my friends can see "Kate Hudson" on my cell phone screen.
