Kate Hudson and Colin Egglesfield’s Steamy Smooch

Puckering up for her new movie, Kate Hudson was busy filming a steamy smooch scene for "Something Borrowed" in the Hamptons, New York on Wednesday (May 19).

Looking to be having quite the enjoyable time, the "Fool's Gold" hottie giggled it up in between takes as she locked lips with co-star Colin Egglesfield as fellow castmate Ginnifer Goodwin watched on.

In related news, Miss Hudson recently spoke with the UK's Telegraph about her body - which she says that she's perfectly fine with despite recently getting a small breast augmentation procedure.

Kate tells, "I'm pretty comfortable with my body. I'm imperfect. The imperfections are there. People are going to see them, but I take the view you only live once."

Video: Obama Gives Tough Speech at NAACP Anniversary Celebration

Stirring. Honest.Controversial.Bold. But what do you think of the speech? Do you agree with President Obama's view on responsibility? Do you think his words were too harsh?
President Barack Obama had a tough-love message for fellow African-Americans on Thursday, urging black parents to push their children to think beyond dreams of being sports stars or rap music performers. Obama's election as the first African-American president buoyed the black community. At the 100th anniversary celebration of the NAACP, the country's oldest civil rights group, he urged blacks to take greater responsibility for themselves and move away from reliance on government programs.

"We need a new mindset, a new set of attitudes -- because one of the most durable and destructive legacies of discrimination is the way that we have internalized a sense of limitation; how so many in our community have come to expect so little of ourselves," he said.
Obama told a packed ballroom at a Manhattan hotel that blacks need to recapture the spirit of the civil rights movement of a half century ago to tackle problems that have struck African-Americans disproportionately - joblessness, spiraling healthcare costs and HIV-AIDS.
"What is required to overcome today's barriers is the same as was needed then...the same commitment. The same sense of urgency. The same sense of sacrifice," he said.
Obama said parents need to force their children to set aside the video games and get to bed at a reasonable hour, and push them to set their sights beyond such iconic figures as NBA star LeBron James and rap performer Lil Wayne.

I want them aspiring to be scientists and engineers, doctors and teachers, not just ballers and rappers. I want them aspiring to be a Supreme Court justice. I want them aspiring to be president of the United States," he said. (From Yahoo News/MSNBC)

XXL Editor Steps Down

XXL Editor Steps Down It's hard not to notice the trend here. Could this be the end of music magazines? XXL Magazine Editor-In-Chief Datwon Thomas has reportedly left his position at the publication after just over a year.While details are in short supply, the news of Thomas' departure hit the net earlier today (May 12).

Word on the curb is that Datwon Thomas has stepped down from his position as Editor-In-Chief of XXL and Executive Editor, Vanessa Satten will resume duties at the top of the masthead. No reason as to why Datwon allegedly left his post, but we'll have more as this story develops. (Rap Radar)

Thomas took over the magazine in March 2008.

"I won't take the job lightly," he said in a statement last year. "The game is in a tough spot. Lagging sales, declining buzz, warring factions, creative slump and various other factors make the details of my job tougher than expected. I'm here though, ready to grip up and bust some for a culture that's slipping into uncharted territory that looks a little grim. The fact that a lot of good hip-hop is still out there helps make my job that much easier. I, with your help, will find that hip-hop and give it the platform that it rightly deserves. Wish me luck, I'm going in." (Pro Hip Hop)
Prior to XXL, Thomas helped launch King Magazine and helped build it into a prominent urban publication. (Compiled by Sohh.com)

RIHANNA & THE LEAKED PHOTO

The Web has been buzzing over the shocking photo reportedly of Rihanna. Today is the "Umbrella" singer's 21st birthday, but she has not been seen in public since the alleged attack hours before the Grammy Awards. The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation and filed a personnel complaint after a photo leaked late Thursday of what appears to be a bruised Rihanna following the alleged incident with Chris Brown on Grammy weekend. E3 Gossip has chosen not to post the picture, due to the nature of the case.

The unauthorized release of a domestic-violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation,” an LAPD spokesman said in statement about the photo, which appeared on TMZ. “The Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris Brown. The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD asserted in the statement. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”
Rihanna's dad is disappointed with the way the Los Angeles police are handling his daughter's domestic violence case.
TVPopStar would like to wish Rihanna a HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY and all the Best!!!
