Here’s a photo of actress Kate Hudson on the cover of People Magazine’s 2008 100 Most Beautiful People issue. The celebrity weekly has selected the You, Me, and Dupree actress as the World’s Most Beautiful Person. (What criteria People was using when they wielded out that title is anybody’s guess.)

“I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed,” Kate told People.
