Kate Hudson Sued for Helping Planet

Kate Hudson went on the talk show circuit a few months back promoting her partnership with hairstylist David Babaii for Wildaid. Together they developed (i.e. Babaii did the work and Hudson was the pretty face in the ads) eco-friendly hair and styling products. Now Hudson and Babaii are being sued for fraud and breach of contract, among other things. It all comes to down to volcanic ash.

220 Laboratories claims they had an “oral contract” with Babaii to develop a line of hair products with their newly discovered volcanic ash from the Vanuatu Islands of the South Pacific. The company was shocked to see the products released a year later via Universal Packaging Systems, with 220 Labs’ volcanic ash ingredient. Both Hudson and Babaii say the lawsuit is “without merit.” No good pharma-charity deed goes unpunished.
