Hudson takes 2009 off

Hollywood actress Kate Hudson has cleared her diary for 2009 - because she wants to spend more time with her young son.

The Almost Famous star has vowed not to make any more movies this year, because her recent hectic schedule has meant has had very little time with five-year-old Ryder, from her marriage to rocker Chris Robinson.

Hudson has been promoting her latest offering, Bride Wars, as well as starring in new movie musical Nine.

And she is determined that will be last of her work for the rest of the year.

She tells InStyle magazine, "Being a single parent can be difficult, but I don't feel I am one. Chris and I are co-parenting and travelling is where it gets difficult.

"Chris is on the road and I've had a busy last year, so I am going to take a break in 2009. I want to soak in every little part of who Ryder is."
