Kate Hudson appeared at AT&Ts Shape conference over the weekend. It is listed as a Tech & Entertainment Expo but Kate still seems like kind of an odd choice to speak at a tech event, doesn?t she? During Kate?s panel called ?How Direct-to-Consumer Technology Is Transforming Celebrity,? Kate admitted that the reason we haven?t been seeing her on the big screen of late is because mid-range films, which are her preference, are going the way of the Dodo. Mid-range are films that are made on a $20-$60 million budget. Rom-coms tend to fall into this slot. Now that everyone is investing in major franchises, Kate?s struggling to add to her resume.
New technology not only reshapes entertainment content and distribution, but the role of performers as well, and sometimes in ways as distressing as they are promising, said actressKate Hudsonand others at today?sAT&TShape conference.
?There?s a lot of talent out there,? said Hudson, part of a paneltitled ?How Direct-to-Consumer Technology Is Transforming Celebrity? at the conference on the Warner Bros. lot, ?but it?s more about what is the next big thing instead of making the best version of that content.?
She said the studios focus on big branded franchises while the tech companies create platforms that make actors a commodity.
?I don?t work that much anymore,? admits Hudson, ?because the movies I want to be doing are much harder for me to get. The movies I could be in, I don?t want to be doing. I might do a big comedy but artistically I want to be doing different things.?
Today multiple content platforms and social media deliver the content and drive the narrative about what, and who, is hot.
Hudson does social media as a way to relate to her audience, promote her movies, TV appearances, books, clothing line and more.
?I never wanted anyone in charge of what goes out for me on my social media channels,? says Hudson. ?I wanted to be in control of that. To me, as my brand grows, it?s really important to be authentic, even if it?s a lot more work for me.?
?Technology makes it so hard to catch up,? adds Hudson. ?The movie industry still lives in an antiquated system and I still struggle, as an artist, to catch up to technology.?

I can?t remember the last big screen rom-com I went to see. It didn?t really occur to me that they aren?t in the theaters anymore (and also explains why I have so much trouble finding a movie in a theater when I just want to turn my brain off). I have only remedial knowledge on movie making but I think the caveat here is ‘the big screen’. Haven’t mid-range films and programming found new life on paid channels like Netflix, Hulu and HBO? Why can’t Kate get in on that? I’m also confused by how much more work Kate wants. She has her Fabletics activewear line going and has averaged two projects per year for the last several years. Regardless, I do agree that those films are leaving the theaters but I don’t think they’re disappearing. As for technology transforming celebrity, this has always been the case. The most obvious example is when sound came to film and the silent film stars who couldn?t deliver lines faded from the spotlight. Technology is always going to change, changing the game which changes the players. It?s the player?s job to keep up. I like Kate and I?ve enjoyed several of her films, light as they may be. I?d welcome her getting more work but I think she probably needs to open her mind to new ways of finding it.
Her comments about social media ring true, though. I can see Kate wanting full control of how she appears on social media. And yes, it is a lot of work. So maybe that?s her silver lining ? she may not be getting any work but now she has all this free time to better manage her brand on social media.

I know I’ve probably done dozens of posts on Bella Hadid over the years, but I still don’t think I’d recognize her on the street. Well, unless she was making the same face she makes in every single picture ever taken of her. Anyway, here she is posing for a selfie with one very lucky […]

I’m assuming this latest topless Snapchat from Bella Thorne is from behind-the-scenes on the set of some new lingerie photoshoot she got hired to do. At least judging from all the camera equipment around in the background. That, or she finally took me up on my career advice and decided to follow her destiny and […]

The first thing I thought when I saw these pictures? What’s that cougar doing posing in a bikini next to Kendall Jenner? Then, after I realized it was just her younger sister Kylie, I figured maybe their rich parents got some kind of a package deal for this photoshoot. 2 for the price of 1. […]

Charlize Theron was in Berlin all day on Monday to promote Atomic Blonde. At first I had a total derp moment of ?why are they doing the world premiere in Berlin?? Oh, right. Because the film is set in Berlin and they filmed in and around Berlin exclusively. They are trying to give thanks to Berliners by conducting the world premiere in Berlin. So here are the photos! Sadly, James McAvoy didn?t come to Berlin. I bet he?ll come to the London premiere, and maybe the American premiere too.
But for now, please enjoy Charlize Theron?s 41-year-old ass in Dior. Charlize is a Dior girl, obviously, but this bra-top and miniskirt was probably intended for some teenage celebutante. Charlize obviously saw this and thought ?Sure, I can pull that off.? And she does. On another woman, I would think this is completely tacky. And it is, sort of, just in general. So why does it feel like Charlize is really working the sh-t out of it?
I?m also including photos of Charlize?s costar Sofia Boutella, who wore a black Chanel Fall 2017 dress with some kind of horrid satin cowl neck. Yikes. They look like they?re going to two very different events. Sofia plays Charlize?s lover in Atomic Blonde, and they seem very friendly in these photos. It?s sweet.

We?re getting to that part of the summer where I tend to believe all of the really dumb movies are about to come out. In years past, that might have been the case, although I think it was smart to schedule both Atomic Blonde and Dunkirk?s releases this month. But what about Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? The movie has always looked like a gigantic mess, and I?m assuming that the studio really hopes that it just looks weird enough for people to shrug and say ?alright, why not?? The premiere gave that vibe too – like a stunt gone bad.
Rihanna has a supporting role in the film, and she valiantly tried to steal the show. It worked. Rihanna wore this bubble-gum Pink Giambattista Valli mullet dress with a crazy-long train, and she paired it with lace-up Manolo Blahniks. The effect is very ?futuristic ballerina.? I loathe this dress though.
I have to give it to Cara Delevingne, she looked completely appropriate for the event. Instead of going with some muted and matronly Chanel look, she chose this Iris Van Herpen gown which looks futuristic and amazing. The styling around the look – the hair, makeup – doesn?t completely fit the dress, but whatever. Bonus pic of Cara posing with her co-lead Dane DeHaan, who looks sickly.
Cara?s friend Kendall Jenner came out to support her, which is nice, I guess. Kendall sported an increasingly ?different?-looking face and a Carmen March dress.
