Making her way to New York City following a family trip to Aspen over the holidays, Kate Hudson teamed up with a gal pal for a Saturday morning outing in Soho.

The “Bride Wars” beauty and her friend first paid a visit to a local health club to work up a sweat, then making their way to Starbucks for a coffee drink.

Looking rather unhappy about being followed by paparazzi, Kate recently voiced her displeasure with the pesky shutterbugs, telling Elle magazine, “They’ve become an entity to themselves. But eventually they’ll implode. They’re creating a house of cards that will inevitably fall.”

Continuing on, Hudson adds, “These are not nice people. When you’re taking your child to school, and they’re trying to get on school property to get a picture, it literally makes you want to just smack them.”
