Kate Hudson is trying to change up her career a little bit this year. Instead of wallowing in her persona as the “Rom-Com Blonde,” Kate has taken a six-episode, guest-starring role in Glee. I thought it would just be a chance for her to sing and dance, but her character seems to be something of a maniacal alcoholic who is out to get Lea Michele’s character. As such, I would expect Kate to, you know, look kind of rough. I mean, “acting,” you know? But the Enquirer claims that Kate was upset with just how rough she looked in her first episode, so she demanded a better makeup person:
Kate Hudson was so freaked when she saw her face on “Glee” she paid her own makeup artist to fix it up, say sources.
“Kate thought she had what she called ‘Hollywood face’,” an insider told The Enquirer. “She complained that her makeup was over the top, and she looked more like a wax statue than a person!”
Kate signed on for a plum six-episode guest gig on “Glee,” playing an alcoholic dance instructor riding roughshod on Lea Michele’s character Rachel. But when Kate saw her face on the small screen during the season premiere, she lost it, revealed the source.
“Kate was horrified by how she looked,” the insider said. “She usually plays the romantic lead in movies, which means everyone works hard to make her look flawless. But on Glee, it’s not all about her. Besides that, producers wanted Kate’s character to look icy and over the top, and that’s exactly what they got. Kate got the OK to bring in her own makeup artist and paid the tab herself. It was worth it to her to look her best. Everyone on the show wants her to be happy, but most of the team thought she was being ridiculous.”
Kate’s also desperate to measure up to Gwyneth Paltrow, who won an Emmy for her 2011 guest gig on Glee. “Kate loves singing and dancing, and she’s jealous that some reviewers have compared her less than favorably with Gwyneth,” said the insider. “She’s out to prove that anything Gwyneth can do, she can do better.”

I’m not offended that Kate wanted to look her best. I’m offended that “looking her best” wasn’t authentic to the character, but Kate is so superficial and NOT-Method that she just wants to always look good, even if she’s playing a hard-worn alcoholic. I’m sure Kate’s hair is perfectly bouncy and her skin glows and her body looks tight… and so how are we supposed to know her character’s hidden demons? Let me guess. Kate’s character announces that she’s an alcoholic? Glee writers and expositional dialogue? While I never!
As for the comparisons to Gwyneth… you know what? I actually like Kate Hudson more than Gwyneth. And Gwyneth’s Glee thing became increasingly insufferable.

I don’t watch Glee but caught some of the Gwen parts online and honestly she really wasnt that good in it. Her singing parts were actually kind of awkward and hard to watch. “Good” would NOT be the word I would use to any of it.
I actually like Gwen as an actress, not so much the person but I always thought she was really good in her movie roles but the whole Glee thing was just awkward. Im not even sure why they kept having her on there but then Im not really familiar with the show. Never could get into musicals.

Her ears though o_O. Anyway I saw the first episode of this season’s glee, not an avid follower by any means, I was blown away by Hudson’s Americano performance. It was nice.

Did anyone see that movie where Kate Hudson dies of cancer? In that movie her makeup, hair, and styling was definitly lacking… For that reason I don’t buy this story because she certainly didn’t hide her imperfections in that movie. Don’t get me wrong, Kate is flawlessly beautiful but in that movie you could see the real Kate.

Haha I think we are all astounded by her ears bc it’s like “Wait, KH does have a flaw.” It’s selfishly a little gratifying I think.

Well I remember that her performance in NINE was the only part that was really fun as opposed to GOOP who is really cringe worthy when she tries to sing…I think that the NE article was secretly written by Lainey.

If you’ve watched it from the beginning and gotten to know the characters, it’s fun. But if you are not a song and dance kind of person, it would be unbearable lol

I can’t stand Glee; could only watch one episode about halfway through. But my first impression is that Kate would be better than Gwynnie in just about everything.

She looked “rough”? She hardly looked rough from the episodes I’ve seen. She looked fantastic. She’s really good on this show.

I tolerate each and every episode of Glee and I can state with ease that Kate Hudson has already been waaayyy better than Gwen Paltrow. GOOP is soooo monotone. She has no pitch when singing or speaking. As a matter of fact she sings like she is speaking.
I’ve never been a big Kate Hudson fan so was pretty disappointed when I heard she was going to be in Glee. However, she blew my mind with her performance of Americano/Dance Again and I can honestly say she is redeeming herself to me everytime I see her on that show!

They didn’t make Kristen Chenoweth’s alcoholic character look rough on Glee, and they’ve never really committed to character consistency or depth, so I’m calling BS on this.

Kate Hudson is way better than Paltrow, no contest. And she and Lea Michele have a lot of chemistry together.

Kate has been looking AMAZING since giving birth to her baby. I truly believe that she will ROCK the hell outta her role on ‘GLEE’ and will continue to amaze the public and paparazzi for many more times to come…..

I can’t figure out why she didn’t bring her hair people to get her ready for the last couple of pictures. Her hair looks terrible.
