Kate Hudson’s son Ryder wants to cut his hair


Little Ryder Robinson, son of Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson and actress Kate Hudson, has decided that he wants to chop off his long hair so he can look like Mom’s boyfriend-of-the-moment Lance Armstrong.

His mom, Kate Hudson, has been dating Lance Armstrong for only two months, but Ryder Robinson has become such a huge fan that he wants to be like Lance and get the same ‘do.

The 4-year-old always wanted to be exactly like his dad, rocker Chris Robinson, so he never let Kate cut his hair, says a friend close to the Fool’s Gold star. “But now that Lance is in the picture, Ryder wants Kate to lop off his locks so he can be as cool as Lance.”

[From Star Magazine]

The kid desperately needs a haircut. He looks like a little girl. However, given Kate’s track record, I wonder if it’s such a great idea for little Ryder to get too close to Uncle Lance. He could be out of the picture tomorrow, replaced by yet another celebrity bachelor. And I can’t help but wonder how his dad feels about this. Sure, Chris Robinson has been seen hanging out with Kate and Lance and the kids - but it’s a lot different when your own son starts idolizing the new guy. It’s got to sting a little bit. But whatever the motivation, I hope Kate brings the little tyke to the barbershop ASAP. He’d look so cute with a buzz cut!

Note by Celebitchy: There is a real trend for boys to have longer hair now, and you can see how Ryder is inspired by his dad to grow his hair long. Of course Ryder is going to emulate whichever male figure is in his life, and for some reason I think that Kate and Lance are going to last. I may sound idealistic or foolish or whatever, but I bet you they will last at least a few years. Sure it started fast for them, but they seem really suited to each other and they are trying their best for their families to get to know each other.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong meet her mom for lunch - at the Ivy


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.”

[From People]

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.

Does Kate Hudson move too fast in relationships?


Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong in Cannes on May 25, 2008
In Touch has a new story that claims that Kate Hudson, 29, has already told her new boyfriend, athlete Lance Armstrong, 36, that she loves him. They don’t specify whether Lance said it back, but claim to have a witness who heard her say “I love you Lance” several times. They also say that Lance and Kate are talking marriage and that it’s the “real thing” for both of them.

There’s an inset story beneath that one that details Kate’s dating history and the way that she falls head over heels for boyfriends quickly. This was more interesting to me, because I have girlfriends who jump into relationships too soon and I have to admit to being foolish in love at times too:

Moving in After 4 Days [ex husband Chris Robinson]
Days after their first date in May 2000, Kate moved in with Chris Robinson. “We knew we were in love after four days,” she says. They wed seven months later.

Dating after 1 week [Owen Wilson]
One week after her separation from Chris was confirmed, rumors flew that Kate was already dating her You, Me and Dupree co-star Owen Wilson

Vacationing after 2 weeks [Dax Shephard]
Two weeks after she was first seen with comedian Dax Shepard, Kate invited him to take a vacation with her to Canada to meet her entire extended family.

Meeting kids after 1 date [Lance Armstrong]
Lance and Kate were first spotted at a Kid Rock concert after-party in NYC on May 15. She flew with him to Austin, TX, the next day and met his children.

[From In Touch, print edition, July 7, 2008]

The accompanying article warns that the danger with falling in love too quickly is that you can just as easily sour on a person and ditch the relationship the minute you get a taste of reality. It also can be hard on your kids if you’re a single mom and bring too many men into their lives. In Touch quotes “relationship expert” Dr. Gilda Carle who says “Her son gets attached to her various partners, but when it’s over, Ryder may become disappointed and confused.”

That could be true, but we don’t know how many men she’s dated who have played a significant role in his life. There are three that I can think of since she split with her husband. Certainly you should be careful not to bring a lot of men around or make them seem like replacement daddies, but kids are resilient and I see Kate as dating until she finds the right man, not sleeping around.

It does sound like Kate moves too fast, but it seems more like she falls quickly and just goes with it. In Touch includes a quote she gave to Cosmopolitan in 2005, when she was still married, to suggest that she may be fickle in relationships. She said “If for some reason it’s over, why would you spend five years of your life trying to make it work when you can spend those five years being friends and finding someone else?” She probably already knew her marriage was over at that point, and it’s possible she didn’t move on to Wilson that quickly after it ended, and just waited to announce her separation.

If anything Kate sounds guilty of the same thing a lot of do when we find a great new man - we think he’s the one and start to revolve our lives around him. It’s better to step back a little, get your head together, and focus on your friends and interests for a while so that you can make a better decision about who you want to commit to - for now.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong denied table at exclusive restaurant


It seems like a lot of these celebrity-target clubs and restaurants turn away famous people just to get press. That may be the case with this latest story of Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong not being able to get a seat at a restaurant, or it might just be the type of place that has a strict reservation system. Lance brought Kate to an upper East side restaurant notorious for its exclusivity, and they were turned away:

BICYCLING champ Lance Armstrong had some trouble impressing new gal pal Kate Hudsonthe other night. Armstrong - strangely unaware of the reservation system at legendarily restrictive Rao’s, where regulars have their own tables and everyone else must wait months - thought he and Hudson might be able to walk into the East 114th Street eatery and be served. But he was out of luck, a spy reports. The managers apologized, but Armstrong and Hudson left hungry, searching for another restaurant.

[From The NY Post]

Kate and Lance have been traveling a lot together this summer. They were in NY yesterday, but were in Toronto just the day before for a charity bike race. Lance helped raise money for cancer treatment at area hospitals through his 117 k “Ride with Lance” fundraiser. Before that Kate and Lance were holed up for a few days at a cabin owned by Kate’s mom, Goldie Hawn, in Muskoka, northern Ontario. People Magazine notes that it was mosquito season.

US Magazine reports that Kate, Lance, Kate’s son Ryder, 4, her ex Chris Robinson and Lance’s kids Luke, 8, and twin daughters Isabelle and Grace, 6, all went out to brunch yesterday in Brooklyn for Father’s Day.

Thanks to Splash News for these pictures of Kate and Lance yesterday. They were headed to an Iron Maiden concert at Madison Square Garden.

Kate Hudson took Ryder to Lance’s hometown; doesn’t discuss new relationship


This week’s OK! Magazine has a tidbit which claims that Kate Hudson, who has been dating Lance Armstrong less than a month according to the magazine, is going to visit his hometown of Austin, Texas. They say Kate plans to take her son Ryder, 4 and a half, along with her.

According to US Weekly, Kate has already visited Austin with Ryder. They had dinner with Lance and his three children at his home in the Texas city on May 17. OK! puts the date they “hooked up” as May 15, but you assume it was sooner than that if they introduced their kids to each other on the 17th. This upcoming visit with Ryder to Austin would be their second trip there within a month. It sounds like Kate and Lance are spending a lot of time together and that things got serious quickly.

Hudson stayed at Armstrong’s New York apartment for several days last week while filming Bride Wars. OK! also claims she’s often on the phone with him during breaks while she’s on set.

Hudson, 29, called into the Ryan Seacrest radio show this morning and gave a very wise response when asked about her relationship with Armstrong, 36. She says that whatever she says about their relationship will be twisted around so she won’t discuss it. And she states that her main priority is always her son:

Opening up about a relationship “only causes more problems and more words taken out of context,” Hudson, 29, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday. “Everything is always misconstrued.”

Not that discussing other males wasn’t all right with Hudson, whose Seacrest appearance was to help promote pal (and celebrity hairstylist) David Babaii’s WildAid hair products.

“My main priority in my life is my son,” said Hudson, referring to her 4-year-old, Ryder.

Yet as far as anything remotely revolving around the cycling champ, Hudson said only, “It’s better to let … people speculate as much as they want to speculate.”

[From People.com]

Hudson gets a bad rap for dating after her divorce and she deserves a lot of credit for taking the high road. It must be very hard to be a single mom in the spotlight and she seems to handle herself well. A lot of people commenting here trash her, and I don’t understand the ire for this woman. She’s had a few boyfriends since her marriage ended, but she certainly doesn’t seem like she’s sleeping around, and she is trying to find someone she can have a long term relationship with. You also see her out with her son all the time and you can tell she’s a hands-on mom. Good for her for refusing to talk about Lance and saying she may as well let people talk and ignore it.

Kate Hudson is shown looking annoyed to be photographed at a Stella McCartney spring 2009 fashion presentation at the Jefferson Market Garden in Greenwich Village on 6/3/08. She is seen talking to artist Jeff Koons and his wife, Justine, along with designer Stella McCartney. Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Owen Wilson “pretty upset” over Kate & Lance’s relationship

According to OK Magazine, Owen Wilson isn’t handling his breakup with Kate Hudson very well. The actor tried to commit suicide last summer after the pair broke up for the first time and Wilson saw photos of Hudson kissing Dax Shepard. He went through a lot of treatment and stopped drinking and seemed to be doing really well. Needless to say, their friends and families weren’t so wild about the pair rekindling their romance. When it fizzled out again a few weeks ago, everyone seemed optimistic that the pair could handle it well.

However Hudson immediately started dating Lance Armstrong, who was one of Wilson’s good friends. Owen has recently been spotted drinking heavily in several clubs, causing those close to him to worry that he’s slipping back into his old habits.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are still going strong with their new romance, but one person who’s not as happy about it is Owen Wilson.

The actor, who went officially off-again with Kate a few weeks ago, isn’t taking his ex’s rebound relationship too well, according to clubgoers who spotted him at club G in Philadelphia.

“Owen looked pretty upset,” an eyewitness tells OK!. “He was drinking and sulking until last call.”

Besides drowning his sorrows in alcohol, the 39-year-old, who attempted suicide in August following his split with Kate, has turned to little brother Luke for support.

“Owen’s been spending time on the phone with Luke,” a Marley & Me set source tells OK!. “There are a lot of people making sure they’re there for him.”

[From OK! Magazine]

Several of their friends have said they assumed Owen would break Kate’s heart, and were genuinely surprised that it was the other way around. It makes you wonder if Kate is dating one of his friends out of spite. Though considering their past, let’s hope that’s not the case. By all accounts Owen has a great family and really close friends. It’s good he’s leaning on them. Hopefully they can get him away from drinking and back on the straight and narrow quickly.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong photographed leaving hotel together


After all the stories about their many dates and public makeout sessions at Cannes, Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have been photographed together. They were seen wearing sunglasses and warm clothing as they left their hotel in Monaco yesterday. D-Listed reports that they’re there for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. They were seen boarding a speed boat with other passengers. Lance put his arm protectively around Kate in the boat, which was open on the sides. They laughed as waves hit the boat and looked like they were having a great time.

OK! Magazine reports that at that Dolce & Gabbana party in which Kate and Lance kissed and danced, Kate was also spotted washing Lance’s shirt in the bathroom.

I wish them well and hope that it works out for them, as I mentioned yesterday. Armstrong doesn’t seem like the best boyfriend material, but he could be smitten with Kate and maybe he’ll stick around. It would be nice not to know everything that’s going on with them, but if they go to high profile parties it’s kind of inevitable that we’ll hear about them. Whether that’s deliberate on their part or not remains to be seen.

Thanks to Splash for these photos from yesterday.

Lanc Armstrong and Kate Hudson’s PDA at Cannes


In case you were on the edge of your couch wondering if Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong’s rumored romance was still going strong, you can rest assured that they made out at a party at Cannes and all is well in their new relationship:

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong only had eyes for each other at Dolce & Gabbana’s annual party in Cannes Friday.

The pair kissed and danced to old Madonna songs and other ’80s favorites. “They were beaming at each other,” a source tells PEOPLE. “So cute.”

In a VIP room so packed that Petra Nemcova couldn’t get in, Hudson and Armstrong chatted briefly with Cannes juror Natalie Portman, who was holding hands with her folk-rocker beau Devendra Banhart. (Unlike all the other female celebrity guests, Portman wore Chanel because she decided to come to the party at the last minute.)

[From People.com]

Part of me thinks “Oh, please” when I hear about these two making out at a party, but I really like Kate Hudson and I hope this works out for her. Lance Armstrong has a reputation as a cad lately, but maybe they’re both trying to find the right person after their respective divorces. They’ve each have had long term relationships in the past and this could be something that lasts for them. Or it could end badly like each of their other recent flings. It could go either way.

Kate Hudson is shown arriving at the Dolce & Gabbana party at Cannes on Friday night, thanks to Splash News. That could be Lance off camera but it’s hard to tell. Lance Armstrong is shown visiting “Nevada Cancer Institute to raise awareness for the fight against cancer” on 5/14/08, thanks to WENN.

Kate Hudson already dating Lance Armstrong

It seems like dating Lance Armstrong is a rite of passage for Owen Wilson’s ex-girlfriends. Kate Hudson is now dating Owen’s good friend Lance… just like Wilson’s other ex-girlfriend Sheryl Crow. Apparently the pair have been dating for about three weeks – nearly immediately after Hudson and Wilson’s split. She originally met Lance through Owen. Let’s hope these two are such good friends that they don’t mind when one dates the other’s exes.

They both have reputations as heartbreakers. Now glamorous blonde actress Kate Hudson has embarked on a passionate affair with seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong. The news will be wearily familiar for film star Owen Wilson, Miss Hudson’s ex-boyfriend. He had previously had a three-year romance with singer Sheryl Crow – only to see Armstrong move in after they split and get engaged to the pop star. Armstrong, 36, may have a tough time explaining himself to Wilson – the fellow Texans are, or were, close friends. On Friday, Miss Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, flew to join new boyfriend Lance at his home in Austin, Texas, for a romantic weekend together.

A source said: “Kate and Lance have been dating for a couple of weeks. She thought it was funny when people were writing recently that she was engaged to Owen because the reality was that they had split again and she was secretly seeing Lance.

“She and Lance are both physical, passionate people – she’s never been happier.” Miss Hudson started dating Armstrong after sparks flew at a private New York dinner party. The source said: “They have known each other for a while and Lance is one of Owen’s good friends. “When Kate was with Owen, she got to know Lance really well but they hooked up again recently at a dinner party thrown by a mutual friend and that’s when the romance began. They have both been keeping it very quiet.”

[From the Daily Mail]

By all accounts Wilson and Hudson’s second split was not a friendly one at all. Supposedly there was a lot of shouting, and they are no longer on speaking terms. That makes you wonder what must be going on between supposed good friends Owen and Lance. If I had a bitter breakup with someone, and then my good friend started dating that person, I’d be pretty damn pissed. You’d think Lance would have a little more class than that… especially the second time around.

Brigitte Nielsen wants to pose for Playboy… again

There was a brief time in my life several years ago when I was floundering emotionally and spiritually and somehow let myself watch a bit of reality television. Okay I really wasn’t floundering at all, but that’s the only excuse I could think of to justify it. And there’s a chance I was a mild fan of The Surreal Life. I often marveled at Brigitte Nielsen. The woman was as bizarre as they come, especially her odd relationship with Flava Flav.

I was pretty impressed that Sylvester Stallone married a woman so much older than him. Imagine my shock when I found out Nielsen was only 41 when she filmed the show. She looked at least 65. But clearly she doesn’t see it – Nielsen has announced that she’d like to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her Playboy cover by posing again.

Sylvester Stallone’s busty ex Brigitte Nielsen wants to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her Playboy magazine cover - by baring all for the men’s magazine again.

The actress/model announced her plans during an appearance on the Billy Bush Radio Show in Los Angeles, admitting she’ll undergo cosmetic surgery to look her best for the big reveal in December. Nielsen explains she’s planning a face lift and a boob lift and reduction.

She says, “I wanna look up and say, `Oh, I like myself. I don’t like my lines… I’m gonna do the boobs; I’m gonna lift them and be a bit more discreet and then I will do Playboy. Twenty years ago, I did the cover of Playboy… I wanna do Playboy December this year. I’m gonna be 45.”

[From Starpulse]

I hope that plastic surgery is going to involve at least 30 rounds of diamond-grade microdermabrasion. Botox would be good for all the wrinkles, but that woman’s face looks like a splotchy leather glove. She is a true testament to what hard living can do to your looks. Brigitte looks like she spent the last twenty years smoking cigarettes in a tanning bed.

Here are some other famous women born in 1963. Imagine their faces, and then look below to understand my point: Vanessa Williams, Kathy Ireland, Elle Macpherson, Natasha Richardson, Phoebe Cates, Tori Amos, Lauren Holly, Nicolette Sheridan… you get the point. They don’t all look like they’re 25, but none of them look 65 either. I’m not sure plastic surgery could even make Brigitte Nielsen look her real age. Something tells me she might want to focus on other endeavors… like sobriety and visiting the dermatologist regularly.
