Kate Hudson
While recently shooting the upcoming thriller The Skeleton Key in New Orleans, Hudson wasn't just the star – she was also the on-set caterer. "When the baby got hungry, the director gave her time [to nurse]," says a crew manager. "As soon as they said, 'Cut!' she said, 'Where's the baby? Is he hungry?' "When Ryder Russell Robinson wasn't on the set nursing, he was getting settled in the Big Easy, where Hudson and her rocker husband, Chris Robinson, 37, made time to explore the city with their new son, dropping by local eatery Franky and Johnny's for crawfish and gumbo. For Hudson's surprise 25th-birthday bash on April 17 at the Funky Butt, a jazz club, the new parents celebrated alongside Hudson's mom, Goldie Hawn (whose new nickname is Gogo), and Hawn's longtime beau, Kurt Russell (Gogi) until 3 a.m. (too late for Ryder, who missed out on the festivities). Then it was back to work, where Hudson – who has shed the 60 lbs. she gained, thanks to exercise and a low-carb diet – has only one leading man on her mind. Says the crew manager: "Kate was around the baby every second she had free."
