Kate Hudson wants her real-life mother Goldie Hawn to join the cast[/caption]
In the 2003 flick, magazine writer Andie (Hudson) was assigned to write a special column on the concept of how to lose a guy in 10 days.
The pair were both completely unaware about each other’s intentions as they fell for each other.
However, it has been revealed that both the A-list pair have been approached to reprise their roles in the hotly-anticipated sequel.
The movie currently has a working title of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days – again’.
It is set to follow the pair as they prepare to finally tie the knot, whilst they tackle Andie’s tumultuous relationship with her mother.
According to The Daily Mail, Kate Hudson is begging her real-life mother Goldie Hawn to join the cast.
However, sources say the 78-year-old veteran actress is hesitant to take on the role.
She reportedly does not particularly desire to play out the fractured mother/daughter relationship on-screen because they are so close in real life.
An insider told the outlet: “The only reason Goldie is not 100 percent ready to sign on is that in the new movie the two have a very strained relationship.
“In real life Kate and Goldie are more like sisters than mother and daughter. They share all their secrets and Goldie was even at the birth of Kate’s three children.”
They added: “Goldie is worried she will find it really hard to play a mother who is at odds with her daughter.
“Kate’s begging her to do it but Goldie still hasn’t fully committed yet.”
Filming is reportedly due to start next year as Christine Peters’ Marmont Lane Entertainment will return to produce.

THIS is the dramatic moment Vladimir Putin’s notorious prison torture boss is blown up as his car explodes into a giant fireball.
The daring car bomb blast killed Sergey Yevsyukov – the ex-head of the Olenivka jail where hundreds of Ukrainian PoWs have reportedly been beaten and killed.

Yevsyukov’s wife narrowly escaped death as she was thrown out of the car in the blast[/caption]
The calculated assassination is believed to have been orchestrated by Ukraine in revenge for years of torment at the hands of Yevsyukov.
Shocking footage captured the moment the 49-year-old’s Toyota Land Cruiser was turned into a fireball when it blew up as he sat in the driver’s seat.
CCTV shows Yevsyukov already inside the car as his wife begins to climb into the passenger seat.
Moments later a powerful explosion goes off and creates a fierce fireball inside the Toyota.
Shards of glass can be seen flying across the camera as a dark cloud of smoke billows through the sky.
Yevsyukov is believed to have died instantly in the blast as the bomb was placed on his side of the car.
An alleged bomber was seen on camera some time before the explosion appearing to plant a device before fleeing the scene.
The car was parked up in occupied Donetsk next to a busy road at the time of the blast which is said to have taken place earlier this week.
His wife was thrown out of the car by the force of the blast after never closing the door completely.
She survived and was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Russian FSB security agents today confirmed they had arrested a man on suspicion of planting an explosive device in Donetsk.
It is unclear if it is related to the same incident.
Police footage showed heavily armed Russian guards barging open a door to a flat belonging to the suspected assassin.
They then ordered the man to crawl on the floor towards them as they pointed guns directly at him.
The FSB video then features a guard asking the suspect what he was being detained for.
He replied: “For blowing up a man in Donetsk.”
Further footage released by the FSB went on to show the man appearing to admit to the Ukrainian secret service ordering the hit.
In what seems to be a confession made under duress and possibly off a script, the suspect claims to feel like he was “being used” by Ukraine.

He can be heard saying: “I established contact with the Ukrainian security services, then detonated a bomb under a car on 9 December.
“I know that a man died and his wife was injured. I regret what I did. I realise that I was being used.
“Those who work with the Ukrainian special services will be detained and will be deservedly punished.”
Prison boss Yevsyukov has long been accused of allowing the torturing of Ukrainians under his watch.
The Security Service of Ukraine, known as the SBU, also claim he was “involved in the mass abuse of Ukrainian prisoners of war”.
They allege he had set up a personal “torture chamber” for the PoWs as well as subjecting them to the threat of a “slow murder”.
More than 100 men were tortured by Yevsyukov, the SBU say.
The close Putin ally had also been hit with a serious charge of mass murder by the Ukrainian government after 53 PoWs were killed in an explosion.
Back in 2022, a fatal blast inside the Olenivka torture jail left the dozens of men dead as well as 73 others being wounded.
Ukraine say the explosion was caused by Yevsyukov and his cronies.

MICHAEL Strahan was furious with San Francisco 49ers star De’Vondre Campbell after his controversial act on Thursday.
De’Vondre Campbell went back to the locker room after refusing to play against the Los Angeles Rams[/caption]
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan claimed Campbell didn’t want to play.
And he was seen walking back to the locker room during the loss to the Rams.
The Fox NFL Sunday crew discussed the ramifications for Campbell stemming from his actions.
And an infuriated Strahan claimed, “How do you do that to your teammates?”
Fox insider Jay Glazer revealed the 49ers are working with the NFL to try and figure out a suspension.
The team want to see “what’s the max they can do” in terms of punishment.
Glazer added, “Even if he apologized and wanted to come back, players don’t want that.”
The Fox reporter also confirmed it was 49ers general manager John Lynch who sent Campbell to the locker room.
Lynch went down to the sidelines to confront Campbell when he refused to enter the field in the second quarter.
And when Campbell stood firm, Lynch sent him away from the side line.
Glazer said, “I had players who called me after and heard me talk about the alter ego of John Lynch this ’47 Red’ character.
“They said, ‘Man we saw it, that dude is crazy.'”
Strahan then added, “I’ve seen it first hand, you don’t want ’47 Red’ you want John Lynch.”
Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson also revealed the benefits of suspending Campbell as opposed to cutting him.
If Campbell was released, he would still be owed the rest of his one-year, $5 million contract up until the end of the season.
Michael Strahan's NFL career
Michael Strahan is one of the most recognizable faces on television.
But he came into his media career off the back of a hugely successful stint in the NFL.
Strahan spent 14 years all with the New York Giants from 1993 to 2007.
He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and helped them win the Super Bowl in 2007 – ending the New England Patriots’ hopes of a perfect season.
Strahan was also a two-time NFL sacks leader and also won Defensive Player of the Year.
The ex-Giants star set the single-season sack record with 22.5 in 2001 – a feat which was matched by J.J. Watt exactly 20 years later.
He is one of the best defensive stars to have ever played the game – finishing with 141.5 career sacks and 854 tackles.
The 31-year-old was slammed by his coach, teammates and the wider football world.
Tight end George Kittle said, “I’m a leader on the team, and if that is something that is being a distraction on the sideline, I would’ve loved to voice my own opinion in the moment.
“I don’t like distractions on the sideline. I think that’s ignorant and I think it’s just dumb.
“It’s just stupid, and it’s very immature. I just don’t see how you could do something like that to your team.”
“It’s one person making a selfish decision.
“I’ve never been around anybody that’s ever done that, and I hope I’m never around anybody who does that again.”

2 weeks agoUSA UpdateComments Off on I tested genius wine gadget that can ‘age’ cheap plonk in seconds… it doubled the ‘price’ of Aldi’s cheapest red wine
THERE’S no denying that once you get just one taste of delicious, pricey wine, it’s never quite the same when you crack open that £4.99 bottle of red from the offy again.
But what if that cheap bottle of plonk could taste like a £50 vintage red perfect for Christmas?
The Winewizard works much better on red wine than white, according to Joe[/caption]
M&S Round & Plummy Merlot, £5.75[/caption]
That’s the bold mission statement behind a genius new gadget, dubbed the Winewizard, that has been sweeping dinner parties by storm.
The three-in-one aerator costs £49.95, and is scientifically proven to dramatically improve any bottle by replicating the ageing and decanting process.
Backed by the UK’s leading wine institution, Plumpton College, it uses micro-oxygen methods to boost wine’s flavour, and make it taste much more expensive.
But how does it really stack up against supermarket wines – and which ones fare the best?
We got drinks expert Joe Wadsack to do a blind taste test of some of the cheapest wines around after they’d been sprayed with the Winewizard to see which are worth splashing out on.
M&S Round & Plummy Merlot, £5.75
Even after the Winewizard had been used, this red smelt quite cheap.
It was a bit jammy, and tasted like it might have been acidified slightly for balance.
It had a pretty sound finish, but was quite short and very uncomplex.
Winewizard price: £6
Price increase: 3%
Masabele Pinotage, Lidl, £2.99
Lidl’s Pinotage was slightly cheaper than Joe thought[/caption]
This wine had quite a simple palette, but smelled a bit more leafy, and herbaceous, like a damp autumn, rather than sitting on a deck chair in Mexico.
There was a nice purity of fruit, and it was very sweet, but I was also getting some hints of residual sugar, which would’ve been added to make the wine taste better, so I didn’t think it was expensive, even after the Winewizard had been used on it.
Winewizard price: £5.50
Price increase: 46%
M&S Malbec, £6.25
The M&S Malbec was Joe’s favourite[/caption]
This was definitely my favourite. It tasted like proper wine, and as if the fruit had been picked with care.
The Winewizard definitely did its job with this, as there was a full, round flavour to it, as if the edges had been sharpened, after spending some time being aerated.
If I was forced to drink a glass of this in the pub, I’d probably have another one, and you can’t say more than that, can you?
Winewizard price: £11.99
Price increase: 92%
Grapevine Merlot, Aldi, £3.99
Aldi’s Merlot costs more than half of what Joe thought[/caption]
This wine had a lovely nose, and smelt much more complex than the others, which I thought was a sign it started off as a more expensive wine, but I was wrong!
It was a lovely, fruity, spicy wine, with some woody notes, as if it had been aged for a while. But the oak was subtle, and well-integrated, along with a nice, vanilla undertone.
There was an artificial sweetness that made me think it may not be more than a tenner though.
I was shocked when I found out this was just £3.99 and could really taste the difference when I tried it without the Winewizard after.
Winewizard price: £10
Price increase: 151%
Conde Noble, Lidl, £3.45
Lidl’s Chenin Blanc wasn’t bad[/caption]
This one had some colour, and smelt nice and pretty, with a simple, fruity aroma of pears and baked apple. But it was a lot harder to drink than to smell.
It was quite high in acid and awkward. The finish was short and rasping.
Even after the Winewizard had been used, this tasted like an entry-level wine you buy when you want the cheapest bottle – and I was right!
Winewizard price: £5
Price increase: 45%
M&S Light and Fresh, £5.75
The Winewizard actually decreased the price of this M&S wine[/caption]
This white wine was not good. There was absolutely no nose on it – and I could taste the sulphides that had been added on my pallet.
It tasted like a wet Labrador dog, and had no fruity flavours.
Even if that was £3.99, I’d take that back to the shop, so I can’t believe this actually costs £5.75.
Winewizard price: £3.99
Price DECREASE: 31%
Aldi Chenin Blanc, £3.99
Joe wasn’t a fan of Aldi’s Chenin Blanc[/caption]
This wine smelt like it should’ve been drunk more than six months ago and was already ready for the bin, but it tasted way better than it smelt.
It did actually taste like Chenin Blanc, and had a nice honeysuckle, tangy flavour, but on the nose it was a bit funky.
Yes, it is wine, but I’d recommend not drinking this. Life’s too short!
Winewizard price: £5
Price increase: 25%
M&S Pinot Grigio, £6.25
The Winewizard worked the best on M&S’s Pinot Grigio[/caption]
This was the nicest white wine I tasted, but then it was actually the most expensive anyway.
It tasted like a blend, and not like any specific wine I could think of, but it was tasty.
Its anonymity is how I knew it was cheap, but I’d still pay more for it than any of the others!
