LATEST: Hollywood newcomer KATE HUDSON will marry her wayward rocker boyfriend CHRIS ROBINSON - and mother GOLDIE HAWN has finally given her blessing.

Fearful of losing her daughter, Hawn has agreed to host the nuptials at the Snowmass, Colorado, ranch she shares with lover KURT RUSSELL. A source says, "Goldie threw up her hands and threw in the towel. She realised she had no choice but to go along. She loves Kate with all her heart and couldn't bear to miss her big day."

Now Kate is going full speed ahead with her wedding plans and has already sent out videotaped invitations to 56 guests, inviting them to the wedding bash at her parents' ranch. The source adds, "Chris' admission of past heroin use frightens Goldie. She's afraid Kate has no idea what she's getting herself into. "She begged Kate not to rush into marriage but Kate wouldn't reconsider."
