Kate Hudson, 'Cinema Italiano' -- Video Premiere

By Steve Baltin Posted Dec 22nd 2009 10:05AM

Everybody knows acting is in Kate Hudson's blood -- after all, she is the daughter of Goldie Hawn -- but the 'Almost Famous' star tells PopEater she got some musical genes from mom as well. "I don't remember a day that my mother wasn't singing in the house or I wasn't trying to sing myself," she says. "I'm definitely comfortable around music."

Hudson is currently showing that previously hidden talent off in the film 'Nine,' where she does a stirring song and dance number called 'Cinema Italiano.' With her first foray into singing, Hudson is now nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Original Song alongside the likes of U2 and Paul McCartney, among others. "I am so excited," she says, laughing. "It is very exciting and I never thought that would ever happen." Watch the 'Cinema Italiano' Premiere After the Jump!

And yes, she's in awe of the company she's keeping at the Globes. "Yeah, [they're] people that are literally in my living room everyday because I love them so much, like Bono and Sir Paul McCartney," she says.

The upbeat dance tune was a little daunting at first, she confesses. "It's a very difficult song to sing. There are a lot of words, a lot of places that when you're not somebody who's used to performing songs like that it's like learning a new language," she says. " Rob [Marshall, director] obviously has an amazing team that allowed me to gain a level of confidence to go for it."

Hudson admits there was another factor that has led to her musical success. "I was married to a musician for a decade so I definitely feel comfortable in a recording studio," she says, referring to her marriage to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, with whom she has a son, Ryder.

So, the talent and the knowledge was there -- it just needed the right showcase. Now that Hudson's found it, is there an album in her future? "I hope so, one day. I really do," she says. "I hope to either continue singing in that way, do other musicals or possibly stage, but I definitely want to continue to sing. It makes me happy."

Her dad is Bill Hudson of the Hudson Brothers (back in the 1970's). I'm sure she got some of her singing talent from him!

Was not expecting this! Great voice, great song, great dance. The whole package. Wonderfully put together.

By Gail

Why doesn't she acknowledge her father [Bill Hudson of the Hudson Brothers] as being a musician? It's as if he doesn't exist.
she acts as if Kurt Russell is her father.
I wonder what her real father did to make her ignore him?
