eTalk, the Canadian entertainment show for which Lainey is a correspondent, scored an interview with Kurt Russell when he was in Toronto for a celebrity baseball tournament to raise money for Mt. Sinai hospital’s cancer center. (You can see their interview with Kurt at about 7:00 into this video.
You can’t tell in the video what the interviewer asked Kurt, as we only hear his responses. At one point he goes on at length about Kate Hudson’s exes, name dropping her ex husband and her son’s dad, Chris Robinson, and also saying he had “a lot of fun” with Alex Rodriguez. Kate and Kurt were spotted several times in the stands at Alex’s baseball games. Kurt never mentions Lance Armstrong, but Kate didn’t date him for long anyway.
Kate Hudson might be pregnant and engaged to Matthew Bellamy, but that doesn’t mean Kurt Russell doesn’t love all of his daughter’s ex-beaus. (Kate’s biological father is actor Bill Hudson, but the actress considers Russell her dad.)
“I gotta say, I love Chris Robinson, loved him, still do,” Russell, 60, told Canadian entertainment show etalk. Hudson, 32, and Robinson, 44, were married from 2000 to 2006 and have one son together: Ryder, 7.
“I loved Alex [Rodriguez]. We had a tremendous time together,” Russell added. Hudson dated the New York Yankees star, 35, in 2009.
Russell added: “I think Kate has been fortunate with all the men she’s gotten close to, we’ve all had a close relationship to, and Matthew is a wonderful guy. I’m loving the process of getting to know Matt more and more.”
Hudson and Bellamy, 32, are expecting their first child together this July. So how does Russell think the two will do co-parenting? “She’s a real good mom and I think Matt will be a real good dad.”

Kurt said a little bit more about how Kate was due in July and how he and Goldie were excited about it. He said it would be their fourth grandchild and that they were “getting pretty used to it.” As for how they feel about Matt, he added “I’m just happy she has someone, once again, the whole family can feel confident in and close to.” For all you can say about Kate’s lovelife, she’s close to her family and she expects her boyfriends to be too. Maybe she should wait a little longer before she introduces them, but she plays for keeps.
Our last story on Kate Hudson was about Matt Bellamy allegedly getting a groupie pregnant right before he met Kate and impregnated her. We had five comments on that post from the same person posing as different commenters defending the groupie and trying to give her side of the story. She is some kind of “model” and has bikini photos up comparing herself to Kate Hudson. That whole story is probably fan fiction.

LOL- how funny.
Kirk looks GREAT ! I LOVE HIM !
I swear I recognize this Sophia chick from the clubs in Toronto – she’s an absolute bottle rat.
She launched her public facebook page last month, and it looks like her website was either launched or rehauled in April as well.
This is so all set up for publicity.
Your headline had me LOL!
It must be so cool to have Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn as your parents.
Kinda sad Goldie’s the only one smart enough to be wearing a helmet while biking.
I love that look on Goldie’s face in the biking pic! I imagine her thinking like the character she played in ‘Overboard.’
“Can’t the driver just meet me up ahead and take me the rest of the way? I’m so tired and this biking thing is lame!”
:o) Always love Goldie…
Side Kurt Russel story: My brother had the opportunity to be in “Miracle” with Kurt Russel. My brother’s best friend passed away during the filming of it, Kurt heard about it and took my brother (a NOBODY on the set, just an extra) under his wing and sat with him and talked about his friend (whom he didn’t even know). He knew the family had very little money and supplied the entire funeral with gorgeous flowers, and kept in touch with my brother. Such a sweet man, very genuine. I got to meet him as well, and he’s just an honest to goodness nice man.
Great story, Working… I’ve loved Kurt since his Disney days and I have always thought he seemed like a sweetie.
kurt and kate seem to have such a happy relationship – the whole family does, really. that’s nice to see.
i like kurt too, always have, goldie seems fun too.
Oh, Celebitchy, I love your candor! 😀
“We had five comments on that post from the same person posing as different commenters defending the groupie and trying to give her side of the story.”
kurt is exactly the kind of man id stick with, with or without a marriage contract, like goldie did, and if he weren’t my biological dad, like kate, i’d absolutely insist on everyone acknowledging that he were. in all likehood, he couldn’t have helped being a real dad even if the kid weren’t his own. such a good hearted man.
and don’t forget, he’s grizzly now – but by god, he used to be so handsome. i know that may offend for what it implies – he continues to be a nice-looking man, but he’s at a different age now, a different kind of handsome. but when he was a younger man, oh my…
Makes me want to watch “Overboard.” I still love that movie.
What? Kate Hudson is the daughter of KURT RUSSEL?! Why didn’t I know that before? I know her mother is Goldie, but I never knew her father was famous, too.
Never thought Kurt Russel had children, lol. How funny.
Well one liberal and one conservative (Kurt’s a libertarian) relationship in Hollywood didn’t crash and burn this week. Take that, fate.
And they love their lil reproducer, Kate. It’s still got to be weird and icky to get to know so many of your daughter’s lovers. Kate, your dad won’t tell you so I will: settle on one of these characters for your dad and kids’ sake. Another gift to dad and the world– no more see-through Madonna tops with high heels during your pregnancy.
@Working: that is such an awesome, heart-warming story. Thank you for sharing.
Never got the fuss over Kate, but Goldie and Kurt have always seemed like very down-to-earth and likeable people.
@ Trustiva
Her father is Bill Hudson, Goldie’s ex-husband. They split when she was little and Kurt Russell raised her.
As a family they work. Kurt is in the same class as Harrison Ford now. Devastatingly handsome all their lives and suddenly old and grizzly. I mean that in a nice way 🙂 I recall a pap photo a few years ago of him and Goldie on holiday and she had a green face mask on, she was smoking and they were both sunbaking LOL. I think they were meant to find each other and stay together. Bill get over it.
