There are certain celebrities I have an inexplicable obsession with, and Kate Hudson is one of them.  Okay, maybe it’s not completely unfathomable that I find a cute, perky, blonde actress the same age as me inspiring (I mean, it’s not like I’m breathlessly idolizing an seventy-two-year old male mechanic from Serbia or something), but for me, Kate can do no wrong.  Recently, I’ve also developed a fascination with Africa, specifically with Tanzania and Botswana, two countries I’m dying to visit.  People.com, it’s like you were reading my mind: photos of a Kate Hudson/Peter Lindbergh shoot in Africa?  And beauty-related (Kate’s partnering with her longtime hairdresser David Babaii to promote his organic haircare line WildAid), to boot??  Two minutes of Jolie-clicking heaven.  (The line, incidentally, is sulfite, paraben and petrochemical free, they don’t test on animals, and ten percent of all profits will be donated to the WildAid global conservation organization.  Good karma!)  I will be enjoying a little quality-time with my iron tonight in an attempt to replicate her fat, glistening curls below, by the way.  Gorgeous.
