The actress is set to appear in the upcoming thriller “Everly,” as a woman who breaks up with her mob boss boyfriend and is forced to protect herself against the assassins he hired to kill her.

“Everly” is based on a script by Yale Hannon, which was on the 2010 Black List of the best unproduced scripts. The film will be directed by Joe Lynch. The film is set to begin filming in May and will be financed by Adam Ripp and Rob Paris’ Crime Scene Productions. Anonymous Content will also produce the film.

“When we heard that Kate wanted to make the transition into an action star, we knew we had found our Everly,” Ripp and Paris said in a statement, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “The physicality and intensity of this role will be transformative for her.”

There’s also a Blind Item about her today that’s rather juicy that I’d like to share:

This divorced blonde film star smoked and drank her way through her first pregnancy, and then did the same thing during her recent second pregnancy! The actress, who’s engaged to her new baby-dad­dy, is so nicotine-addicted that she began puffing away minutes after giving birth! Who is she?

As RadarOnline.com was first to report, Bill accused Kate of not visiting or calling her dying grandma, who is battling Alzheimer’s disease.

“Kate doesn’t have to talk to me and she doesn’t have to give her a dime of her millions. All I want is for her to call and say, ‘Hi grandma’, before it’s too late,” Bill said.

“I love Kate, but… She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother.”

“Kate and Matt are clashing over money issues… and it may destroy any chance they have of getting married. Their relationship was in a much healthier place before her put a ring on her finger.”

Kate is insisting on a pre-nup because she has more money than Matthew, and the proposed agreement is tougher on him than her.

“He would be on a payment plan of sorts, where he is allotted a certain amount ofmoney annually… and if he cheats, he will lose everything, but if she cheats, no harm, no foul. The fighting over the pre-nup has soured the experience… they may not get married at all. They may just stay engaged, or even split up.”

But if you believe your eyes…things are going more than fine between these two. A man that gains weight with his girlfriend/wife when she is pregnant is IN IT for the long haul. Check out the sympathy belly Matt is sportin’ these days.

Also, a rockstar that drags his ass out to a baseball field at 10am on a Saturday morning to watch his baby mamma’s son with another rock star is also IN IT. I swear Star just makes shit up on the daily.

She literally just announced it on The Today Show. Kate was on the show, and very pregnant and glowy, to promote her new chick flick Something Borrowed.  Leave it to that craft Matt Lauer to get the scoop.

I’ll have the video up for you as soon as it’s available.

Pregnant Pastries. So cute. And just one night after her boyfriend and baby daddy Matt Bellamy publicly thanked her while accepting his bands Grammy Sunday night.

“I would like to give a special thanks to my beautiful, pregnant girlfriend over there,’ he told the audience after receiving best rock album for Muse’s record The Resistance. Kate was cheering him on from the audience in a belly baring cut away blue dress. Kate is not afraid to show off her pregnant body, in the beginning anyway. If this pregnancy is like her first one, she’ll be cute and bubbly for a few months, but by the end…not so much.

See the rest of the pictures HERE.

A source confirms exclusively in the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday, that Kate Hudson, 31, is 14 weeks pregnant with boyfriend Matthew Bellamy‘s baby

“It was not planned, but they are excited and embracing it,” the source reveals.

The insider adds that the actress, who has been dating the Muse frontman, 32, for nine months, is stoked for her 7-year-old son Ryder (with ex-husband Chris Robinson, 44) to have a little playmate.

“She is happy for Ryder to finally have a brother or sister,” says the source.

This is awesome! I love Kate…she is one of my favorite celebs for lots of reasons I won’t go into now…but one of my most favorite things about Kate is that she gained 60 pounds when she was pregnant with Ryder. She ate ice cream every night and didn’t give a hoot!

Kate was photographed walking around backstage with an unidentified male friend, but according to everyone…her heart belongs to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy right now.

Muse played last on Saturday and were joined by U2′s The Edge for a version of “Where the Streets Have No Name.” U2 pulled out of Glastonbury when Bono hurt his back.
