Kate Hudson threw a star-studded Christmas party on Friday night, December 18.
The ‘Nine’ actress, who split with her New York Yankees baseball star boyfriend Alex Rodriguez earlier this month, forgot her troubles with the lavish bash at her Californian home, which had been given a festive make-over with strands of tree light, reindeer statues in the garden and valet parking attendants dressed in Santa outfits.
Hollywood friends including Kate Beckinsale, Tobey Maguire, Fergie and Josh Duhamel, described by one guest as “lovey-dovey” as well as Liv Tyler, Jason Statham and Kate’s parents, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, attended.
Kate, who is well known for her yearly Halloween parties, was said to be in a very good mood and “played the perfect host”.
A guest at the party told People magazine, “There were singers carolling to start the night and then a hip-hop DJ played later.
“The festivities continued into the wee hours before guests made their way home. She couldn’t have been in a better mood.”
While Kate was enjoying getting into the Christmas spirit, it was recently claimed that her New Year’s Eve, December 31, plans have been ruined following her split from Alex.
A source explained, “They were both scheduled to appear together at several bashes. Obviously that’s not happening now – she canceled! She canceled everything; she’s not going to Miami at all. Alex is probably still going, and no doubt will be flirting up a storm – as he usually does.”
