Everybody knows acting is in Kate Hudson’s blood — after all, she is the daughter of Goldie Hawn — but the ‘Almost Famous’ star tells PopEater she got some musical genes from mom as well. “I don’t remember a day that my mother wasn’t singing in the house or I wasn’t trying to sing myself,” she says. “I’m definitely comfortable around music.”

Hudson is currently showing that previously hidden talent off in the film ‘Nine,’ where she does a stirring song and dance number called ‘Cinema Italiano.’ With her first foray into singing, Hudson is now nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song alongside the likes of U2 and Paul McCartney, among others. “I am so excited,” she says, laughing. “It is very exciting and I never thought that would ever happen.” KEEP READING

Before the days of outrageous hairdos and avant-garde ensembles, Grammy-nominated Lady Gaga — aka Stefani Germanotta — was just an Italian Catholic schoolgirl from New York. “I was a bit insecure in high school,” the 23-year-old star reveals. “I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak.” But once she started college at New York University, she says she began showing her true colors. “I really let the real me out,” the pop sensation reveals. And clearly the “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” performer hasn’t suppressed herself since. “I’m an outspoken and extreme dresser,” she admits. “I am inspired by photography and art, but mostly by New York.” She defends her quirkiness and explains she does it all for her fans, who can relate to feeling like an outsider. “This is really who I am, and it took a long time to be okay with that,” she says.

Here’s the latest from TMZ:

Brittany Murphy’s husband and mother made a frantic attempt to revive her before paramedics arrived … this according to notes written by an investigator from the L.A. County Coroner’s office. And, there were a shocking number of strong prescription meds on Brittany’s nightstand.

TMZ has reviewed the documents, written by Investigator Blacklock. According to his notes, Brittany Murphy “had been complaining of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pain” for 7 to 10 days prior to her death. According to the notes, Murphy went into the bathroom at around 7:30 AM Sunday and shut the door.

A half hour later Brittany’s mother, Sharon Murphy, went to check on her daughter, opened the bathroom door and “discovered the decedent lying on the floor unresponsive.” According to the notes, Sharon yelled for help. Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, who was in bed, heard the screams and ran to the bathroom.

According to the notes, Sharon called 911 and Simon “attempted to revive the decedent by placing her in the shower and running the water.”

The notes continue — “The decedent remained unresponsive and purged her stomach contents prior to the arrival of the paramedics.”

When the paramedics arrived, Brittany was “without signs of life.”

Paramedics moved Brittany from the bathroom to the master bedroom, where they found a slew of prescription drugs — “A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent’s name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the decedent’s husband’s name, the decedent’s mother’s name and unidentified third party names.” (Could she have been taking prescriptions prescribed to her husband and mother?)

According to the notes, the medications included Topamax (anti-seizure meds also to prevent migraines), Methylprednisolone (anti-inflammatory), Fluoxetine (depression med), Klonopin (anxiety med), Carbamazepine (treats Diabetic symptoms and is also a bipolar med), Ativan (anxiety med), Vicoprofen (pain reliever), Propranolol (hypertension, used to prevent heart attacks), Biaxin (antibiotic), Hydrocodone (pain med) and miscellaneous vitamins.

The notes say, “No alcohol containers, paraphernalia or illegal drugs were discovered.”

According to the notes, “The night prior to her death, the decedent had consumed some noodles, leftover Thai food, Gatorade, water and tea with lemon.”

The notes also say Brittany had a history of hypoglycemia and was hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while on location in Oregon.”

Monjack told the investigator during the 7 to 10 days prior to her death, Brittany complained of shortness of breath and severe abdominal pains but he was not overly alarmed because “she often suffered from severe menstrual pains.”

The investigator spoke with police at the scene, who told him “foul play is not suspected.”
