Kate Hudson Accused of Ripping Ash

Celebrities get free advanced samples of cool stuff all the time -- but it's not often they're accused of stealing secret ingredients and selling them as their own!!!

Kate Hudson is being sued by a hair care company, accused of enjoying a soon-to-be-released secret volcano ash hair product so much -- she got together with a bunch of people and released their own line of volcano ash hair products. The lawsuit, filed Friday in L.A. County Superior Court, claims she even hawked the product on HSN.

The plaintiffs -- an outfit called 220 Labs -- are gunning for unspecified damages.

UPDATE:
Kate's reps issued the following statement: "Kate and her attorneys are only just learning of the complaint, as Kate has not yet been served. Kate does not know the plaintiffs and has never met with them or spoken with them. Her representatives believe that the claims are baseless and without merit and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit."

So, if someone gives you a free gimmick, then that permanently prohibits you from doing business in that industry??? I don't get it.

I had free pizza last week. Now I can never own a pizza place. That sucks.

Why doesn't she just use her cigarette buts and save herself a trip down the volcano? Her hair looks crappy anyway.

The only reason she has a career is because of her mother. If it weren't for Goldie, she'd be serving up fries. And boy does she go from man to man to man. Nice values. slut.

Poor Kate Hudson is really getting bashed on this post.. I think she is another one who should be a model, rather than an actress(same for Lindsay Lohan and Katherine Heigl). Beautiful women-- crappy actresses..

I saw Kate Hudson talking via phone on HSN about this product, David Babii for Wild Aid. Based on Kate's testimonial about how great the product was, my daughter tried the product. Why would she claim not to know anything about it!
