Sarah Jessica Parker replaces Demi Moore
Seal can't explain breakup with Heidi Klum

Duchess Kate is the queen of hats

By Maria Puente, USA TODAY

What do Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and the former Kate Middleton have in common? Hats!

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, as Middleton is now known, was named Hat Person of the Year by the Headwear Association, the 104-year-old trade association that "promotes hats and headwear awareness worldwide." Who knew?

According to the association, Duchess Kate took the title this week after winning about 91% of the votes in its online poll. The likes of Rachel Zoe and Justin Timberlake were distant runners-up.

But then Catherine is a very English girl with a very English ease in showing off millinery, from feathery fascinators to flowery plate-sized chapeaux. Which is a good thing, because since she joined the royal family last April by marrying Prince William, she has to wear a lot of hats.

And those hunky American boys Depp and Pitt? This is the third year the association has handed out a Hat Person of the Year award -- and those two won it in previous years.
