Kate Hudson appears in the upcoming issue of Elle Magazine, and the 30-year-old actress posed for some sexy shots and dished on everything from A-Rod to botox to losing 20 pounds for her latest film role.

So what was Kate's secret to dropping the weight? Giving up the booze! "I love my glass of wine. I love tequila," she said. "To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage, I’m not sure I’ve ever done that!" That seems much healthier than the cleanse or the cookie diet, and these photos definitely show off her fab figure. But maybe a little less grease on her skin next time? Eh, whatevs - she still looks amazing!

Anyway, when asked about the ring she's been spotted wearing recently, Kate responded, "Did you know that it was this one, on my right hand? I hear about this and I’m like 'Why would I even respond? What would I say if you’re going to lie about something ridiculous?'"

While Kate didn't seem too keen on blabbing about her love life, she did open up when the topic shifted to plastic surgery. "Everyone’s so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it's great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I'm glad it’s there for me when it’s time."

We love how refreshingly honest Kate is about most things, and with Nine coming out this Christmas along with a string of other movies in the works, it looks like this Oscar nominee isn't falling off the A-list anytime soon.
