Kate may already sport a slender frame, but the actress slims down for the lead role in the upcoming film Earthbound — in which she plays a terminally-ill patient who falls in love with her doctor. The 30-year-old — who denies reports that she is engaged to Yankees’ third baseman Alex Rodriguez — reveals one of her diet secrets involved staying away from booze.

“I love my glass of wine. I love tequila. To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage, I’m not sure I’ve ever done that!”

Kate also revealed that’ll swear by Botox, when the time is right.

“I was in a press conference once, and someone says, ‘So, I can tell you’ve never had Botox!’ Is that a compliment? Or are you trying to say I’m starting to get wrinkles? I literally was like, ‘What?’ Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it’s great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife, and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I’m glad it’s there for when it’s time.”

The Bride Wars actress, who has been dating the New York Yankees third baseman since May, is reportedly desperate to have another baby after recently celebrating her 30th birthday.

Kate already has a five-year-old son Ryder, from her marriage to Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, but she would like to expand her brood before its too late for her to conceive another child naturally.

Since when are women in their early 30s too old to have kids?

An In Touch Weekly insider blabs: “Kate just turned 30 and she’s ready to have her second child. She wants Ryder to have a sibling, so she brought up the idea to Alex and told him that they would make a beautiful baby together, and that she would assume all financial responsibility.”

Alex has two daughters, Natasha, four, and 16-month-old Ella, with ex-wife Cynthia.

The 30-year-old actress – who has been dating the New York Yankees third baseman since May – allowed her friend to drive Alex’s SVU on a Manhattan street without his permission earlier this week. Drama ensued when the driver momentarily lost control and slammed into a parked vehicle.

A-Rod nearly had a coronary after learning the woman accidentally dented the back of the whip.

A source chuckled to The NY Daily News: “Kate Hudson’s girlfriend has been driving his Suburban with Kate every morning, bright and early, to get coffee. As the two women were pulling out of the garage, they hit another car! Hudson and the pal quickly re-parked and headed back upstairs.”

An incensed Alex lit into Kate and her friend when he saw the damage.

“As soon as he saw the rear of the vehicle and the damage done, he had her get out of the car and started talking about her reckless driving. He was visibly upset. The crash was so bad the license plate was obscured. He was ranting and raving while she stood there sheepishly.”

Alex Rodriguez ex-wife Cynthia Rodriguez reportedly approves of his new girlfriend, actress Kate Hudson. Sources tell TransWorld News Cynthia — who has two daughters with Alex — believes the Almost Famous star is a “better fit” for the Yankees third baseman than Madonna.

“Cynthia adores Kate. She’s a huge fan of Kate’s movies and thinks Kate is a ‘better fit’ for Alex than Madonna was,” says an insider.

Alex Rodriguez has had a crush on his rumored new girlfriend — actress Kate Hudson — for nearly nine years.

New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez – previously romantically-linked to Madonna — fell for the blonde actress after seeing her breakout performance in the 2000 film Almost Famous.

“It’s his favorite movie. Alex has seen it dozens of times, and he fell for Kate the first time he saw it,” a source tattles in the new issue of The National Enquirer.

Alex and Kate first met at Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau hotel last November, and kept in touch via text message. They reportedly started dating in April.

Friends of Kate Hudson are warning the Almost Famous actress not to get too serious with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriquez because the recently divorce slugger is know for hitting homeruns with hunnies all over Hollywood.

Kate was first romantically linked to A-Rod in April, after the actress attended a Yankee game as a “special guest” of third baseman. Later that night, the couple reportedly got cozy while eating dinner at Mustang Grill in Manhattan.

Alex divorced wife Cynthia in 2008. The official filing cited Rodriguez’s “affair of the heart” with pop star Madonna as one cause of the split.

“She should not take this too seriously,” a TransWorld source said Tuesday. “Alex doesn’t stick with one woman.”

Kate, 30, was previously married to Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson. She has also dated actor Owen Wilson and cyclist Lance Armstrong.

The Bride Wars actress was was recently spotted in a liplock with the New York Yankees star at the Mustang Grill Restaurant in NYC are spicing up their rumored romance with steamy sessions of phone boning.

“Although Hudson is currently filming in Oklahoma, she and A-Rod keep their new love alive with sexy late-night phone calls,” a source told The NY Daily News this week.

Famous as a witty blonde, actress Kate Hudson showed off her new brunette locks on the location of her new movie The Killer Inside Me in Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Not sure if this is a wig or not.

How would you rate Kate’s new look?

Move over, Madge. Kate Hudson is the latest Hollywood blonde reportedly letting Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez slide into home plate.

Kate — who met A-Rod at the reopening of the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach last November — was spotted “making out” with the third baseman after taking in a match-up at Yankees Stadium in the Bronx on Friday.

Spywitnesses blab to The NY Post: The real action came later that night at Mustang Grill on Second Avenue. Our source said a bartender at the Southwestern joint at 85th Street “was asking patrons not to go in the back room around 1 a.m. because A-Rod and Kate Hudson were back there making out.”

A chatty server also confirms that Kate and Alex enjoyed a night out together at the grill — although she denies seeing the two smooch.

Another tabloid tattle reports spying Kate, 30, positioned outside Manhattan’s glamorous 15 Central Park West, where A-Rod rents an apartment.

We hear mother-daughter duo Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson are anixious to work together and eagerly considering a number of film projects, including a comedy inspired by the ’60s television series The Beverly Hillbillies, as well as a remake of Goldie’s 1980 hit Private Benjamin.

Must we drag Jed & Granny into this?

An tipster tells The Globe’s Shelby Loosch: “This time around, Kate would play the title role and Goldie would play Doreen Lewis, the tough Army captain originally played by Ellen Brennman.”

The other project Kate and Goldie are tossing around would see Kate playing a glamorous fashion designer, living in Los Angeles, whose life is turned upside down when her uncouth mom, portrayed by Goldie, shows up in the City of Angels to elbow her way into her daughter’s glitzy life.
