Kate Hudson on People's "Most Beautiful" list; credits Ryder for lack of sleep

Actress Kate Hudson, 29, graces the cover of People’s "100 Most Beautiful People" issue. The special issue discussed how her 4-year-old son Ryder Russell has an active lifestyle that plays a role in her lack of sleep at night. Ryder might have inherited some of that active personality from his mother. Kate explained:

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.

Ryder’s father is Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes.

Gwyneth Paltrow discusses her children and going back to work

Currently in the middle of a media promo tour in support of her new film, Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she’s having trouble dealing with the 7-day, 6-night separation from her kids, who are home with dad, Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

I keep bursting into tears because this is the longest I’ll ever beaway from my kids. Now it’s six nights, which is the longest by doublethat I’ve ever been away from them. So quite pathetically,I kept bursting into tears. It’s so painful to even miss one day.

Youknow, they change so quickly and the idea of somebody else being therewhen they do their first this or say their first that is just like, itmakes me die.

Discussing her children — Apple Blythe Alison, who turns 4 in two weeks, and Moses, 2 — Gwyneth chatted about her and Chris’ choice of name for their daughter, as well as the kid’s personalities, expounding a bit on her comments to David Letterman.

[The name Apple] just emerged — we thought it was unique, but we didn’t expect the media onslaught. I call her Appley-Dappley.

Moses is absolutely gorgeous, and he makes me go weak at the knees.Apple changes her outfits about seven times a day. She loves clothesand walks around the house in my high heels.

Salma Hayek featured in People en Espanol's Most Beautiful People; talks about Valentina

Actress Salma Hayek, 41, has been named Most Beautiful Mother in the list of People en Espanol’s Most Beautiful People, featured in their new June issue.  Salma, who has a daughter, Valentina Paloma, 7 months, with her fiancée François-Henri Pinault, admits that ever since the birth of her daughter, she can not erase a smile off her face.

I am smiling so much more than before.  Valentina has changed me a lot.

Salma’s brother, Sami, 34, who has never seen such a "dedicated" mother, had only compliments for his sister’s parenting skills.

You guys don’t have any idea what a good mother she is.  I haven’t seen anyone so dedicated as she is.

As for Valentine’s future, Salma already has plans for her daughter to be an active participant in charities and humanity efforts.  By starting young, Salma knows that later in life it will not come as a burden to help other people in need, but rather as a natural part of her daily life.

Valentina is going to do [charitable work] as part of her normal things that one does, it’s not going to be a [forced] effort.  I want her to grow up seeing how to help other people.
