Actress files for arbitration to get domain name.
Actress Kate Hudson is fighting for the right to the domain name KateHudson.com. [Update: she won the case.]
The actress, famous for roles in Almost Famous, You, Me and Dupree, and My Best Friend’s Girl (pictured), has filed for arbitration at National Arbitration Forum to get the domain name.
The domain name is currently parked and shows links for “kate hudson pics”, “celebrity photos”, “kate hudson”, and “kate hudson biography”.
Whois records show that the domain name was registered to a woman named Kate Hudson (but not the address) from 2003-2005, but then the domain name expired. The domain has bounced around since then, landing with BWI Domains for a while until earlier this year, when the whois record changed to a man in Shanghai.
A National Arbitration Forum panelist should render a decision within a couple months.

Here we go again… Yet another dozy celeb and her equally dozy management team trying to get the name dot com domain sometime after the fact. What were her agents doing when it expired previously? Why didn’t they try for it then? More to the point, why didn’t they register it in the first place? Kate Hudson has been around some years now. If they hadn’t been asleep at the switch they could have registered or quietly purchased it off the original registrant years ago.
