When I first saw this picture set I thought “holy sh*t, these two went to the damn Ivy.” The Ivy, on Robertson Boulevard in LA, is the place where celebrities go to be photographed and there’s always a swarm of paparazzi outside. It’s an ideal place for lesser-known celebrities and reality stars to get some much-needed publicity because the photographers will take just about any semi-famous person’s picture. Kate Hudson, 29, and her new boyfriend Lance Armstrong, 36, were at “The Ivy on the Shore,” though, which is in Santa Monica and isn’t as much of a paparazzi target. It’s the first place that the paparazzi snapped a photo of Kate with Owen Wilson after news of their rumored affair hit the press, though.
Kate, Lance, her mom Goldie Hawn, 62, and an unidentified man dined at the Ivy starting around 2 pm yesterday, and sat out back so they could supposedly avoid photographers, but it didn’t work. People Magazine reports that they looked like they were having a great time.
Casually dressed in a gray Nike T-shirt and matching pants, the cycling champ, along with Hudson and her mom, actress Goldie Hawn, met for a late lunch Tuesday afternoon at Ivy at the Shore in Santa Monica, Calif.
The trio, along with an unidentified male, arrived just before 2 p.m. They got some privacy from fellow diners and the throng of paparazzi camped out front by sitting on the patio at the back of the beachside restaurant.
“They looked like they were having a great time and enjoying each other’s company,” says an onlooker. “Goldie was all smiles. Lance was sitting next to her and they were chatting while Kate was laughing. They were all just really happy.”

You think they would avoid the place, but maybe Kate and/or her mom have dined there relatively undisturbed in the past and the food is really good. At least they weren’t at the main Ivy, but maybe next time they’ll be a little more creative with their restaurant choices and will be able to keep photographers at bay.
A lot of you say these two aren’t going to last, and you could be right. Both have sketchy recent relationship histories, but maybe now that they’ve found each other they’ll settle down. They certainly seem intent on getting involved in each other’s lives, and Lance has even met his maybe future mother in law. He should watch out, because the in-laws seem a lot different once you’re married - or so I’ve heard.

Free advertising for Nike. Little else.

that hair style does not suit lance armstrong… hahaha!!

He must be wetting himself with glee, oh the Ivy, all that exposure, yes yes yesssssss!
-
The other t shirt he wore in another picture said ‘have a nike day’. I know he is making insane money endorsing them but a grown ass man who wears t shirts constantly, to go out?
DO NOT WANT.He also has no lips. I would not kiss that mess.

Hey, some of those no-lipped men are GREAT kissers!
Never having set foot in L.A., can anyone tell me if The Ivy is better than Olive Garden?
-
I’ve never been to The Ivy, but from what I’ve read they just serve the LA basics - salads, tofu burgers, cocaine.
But, seriously, The Garden puts out a good spread. All the good breadsticks and salad you want, a lot of pasta and meat dishes, with healthy proportions.

Kaiser, you sound like a PR rep for the Olive Garden, I love it
Their bread sticks back in the day were the shit, no doubt. They made them right there, and the baskets were wicker with linen. Once the bread sticks needed to be defrosted before being put into the plastic bowl, complete with thick paper napkin… that’s when I found my interest waining. -
Please tell me she’s not pregnant.

Jody, I swear I’m not.
*crosses fingers and cashes check from The Olive Garden*

I must have missed the cocaine special at The Ivy. It would have been preferable to the meal that I had!
