The Pearly Kates
Want to become a Hollywood starlet? Change your name to Kate. This moniker is working for Blue Crush's surfing hottie Kate Bosworth, who at 19 is this season's go-to gal for photo shoots and magazine covers. And history proves the trend. Last year, Kate Beckinsale stirred hearts in Pearl Harbor and Serendipity. In 2000, Kate Hudson ruled as the groupie with a heart of gold in Almost Famous. And the list goes on.
From Entertainment Weekly. I remember the days when the only nickname for Kathryn was Katie. Or Kathy. Never Kate. I went through junior high giving up on correcting my teachers, just letting them call me Katie. And then there was the year when I thought Kate was plain and boring and I insisted on going by Kathryn. Or the week I went by my middle name. I started to like my name when I realized there weren't a whole lot of us out there... until now, apparently. Kates are popping up everywhere!
