Kate Hudson and 46 More Stars You Won’t Believe Are Turning 40 This Year

Speaking to

“I personally, with having a baby, feel like I deserve a really good hangover,” she joked. “I’ve been so good, I’ve been so busy. I’ve been breastfeeding like crazy and I just want some martinis. I want to sleep in. [That’d be] really nice.”

The eldest of the Kardashian crew celebrated her 4-0 on April 18.

“When she talked about turning 40 a while back, she didn’t seem too excited,” a source told PEOPLE. “Turning 40 is a big deal. But instead of seeing it as something negative, Kourtney turned it around and she seems very excited about her life just in general.”

“She’s been through a lot, personally, over the last decade and feels she’s come out stronger and happier,” added the source. “So she’s excited about turning 40 and what’s to come.”

The singer spent his 40th — March 18 — on an epic birthday trip to Mexico with friends and wife Behati Prinsloo.

“I feel like I’m Benjamin Button-ing. I feel younger and less mature, better-looking and just overall more youthful,” the Maroon 5 frontman — referencing Brad Pitt’s film in which a man ages backwards — joked to PEOPLE in February. “Maybe I was born old!”

“I think there are times when you take birthdays for granted, and I really want to take advantage of the fact that reaching 40 in my generation is different than it was for my grandmother and for my mom,” Dawson said. “I don’t know if I’m going to go jump from a helicopter or do a bungee jump, but I want to be out there, celebrate, and be in appreciation of who I get to share this with — and that will be my sweet 16 year old.”
