Kate Hudson’s co-star jokes that Kate needs a paternity test – funny or inappropriate?

When Kate Hudson was filming her latest POS romcom with Colin Egglesfield last spring there were definite rumors that the two were hitting it. Those stories seemed to be based on how cozy they looked while filming scenes showing their characters’ romance, so we didn’t put a lot of stock in it at the time.

Egglesfield recently “joked” that Kate got pregnant right around the time they were working together, so she should get a paternity test for the baby. At first he sounded like a complete jackass to me for saying that, like if he f*cked her, he shouldn’t say it, if he didn’t f*ck her, he shouldn’t say it because it will spark rumors that he did. Then he recovered by saying that Kate’s boyfriend was around and they weren’t really hanging out off set. He was probably just making an offhand comment in response to a question about how Kate got pregnant around that time and it sounds bad when taken out of context. I’ll try to give him the benefit of the doubt because he was such fine mancandy on that terrible Melrose Place reboot and he very gamely endured a romance with Ashlee Simpson’s character. That must have taken true fortitude.

Though the 31-year-old actress is currently 17 weeks along with Muse rocker Matthew Bellamy’s baby, her Something Borrowed costar Colin Egglesfield joked that he may actually be the child’s father.

“[She got pregnant] right around the time when we were working together, so they might want to do a DNA test when that baby comes out,” he joked at Wednesday’s Children Awaiting Parents bash in Hollywood.

Kidding aside, the 37-year-old actor tells UsMagazine.com he had a blast playing Hudson’s fiance in the upcoming flick — even if they didn’t exactly become BFFs when cameras stopped rolling.

“We had a lot of fun on the set, but at the end of the working day it’s not like we were hanging out as friends,” he explained. “John [Krasinski] had his fiancee, Ginny [Goodwin] had her fiance, Kate’s got her baby-daddy. After spending 14 hours a day with each other, it’s like, ‘I love you ,but get out of my face!'”

The guy probably didn’t mean it that way, but it was a dumb thing to say and smacks of a douche move even if he was trying to make a joke.

This film “Something Borrowed” is out on May 6 in the US. There’s no trailer available yet that I could find, but the movie poster looks really bad.

Kate Hudson was seen out in London last night with her boyfriend, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy. He looks annoyed by the paparazzi, but I have to say she’s gorgeous! I love her coat and those shoes are so cute. She must have been cold, though. She won’t be wearing heels for long.

    I love HIS coat and scarf. I definitely get MB’s hotness.

    I think the comment was funny and appropriate considering Kate’s reputation.

  2. Marjalane says:

    Kate Hudson’s a skank; Why would you cut her any slack? Matthew Bellamy needs to get a paternity test regardless of whether this guy said anything at all!

  3. normades says:

    They so don’t match style wise. I can only picture her with hippie boys or meat heads.

  4. annaloo. says:

    Look, I love Kate, but she’s fair game … that guy’s only voicing what everybody else is thinking.

  5. Audrey says:

    CDAN had a blind about one of the pregnant actresses now that is hoping her boyfriend IS the father of her baby! I think I solved that Blind!

  6. brin says:

    Co-sign Marjalane & annaloo.
    Would not waste time or $ on this movie.

  7. Lway says:

    It’s SPOT ON if you ask me. She sleeps with every man that stares at her for more than 3 seconds!

  8. jen says:

    Hahahaha!

  9. Sandy says:

    Spoiled celebrity brat.

  10. Jezi says:

    I don’t think he’s a douche at all, he’s just calling it like he sees it. She’s been around the block quite a bit so…..lol.

  11. Kasey says:

    While I do agree she’s earned herself a reputation, I still think it was inappropriate. He’d better be careful. I’d feel bad for him if it turns out he IS the father…….

  12. Lola7 says:

    Completely appropriate and warranted.

  13. samihami says:

    Please-if she doesn’t want things like that said about her, she should stop bed hopping with every guy that looks in her general direction. She’s earned her reputation.

  14. Motor35 says:

    she *is* kinda skanky. and she sure does get around.

  15. spinner says:

    Why does the woman always have to take it up the arse. I’m giving Kate a pass. She’s a born-again hippie…like her Mom. I think the guy was joking & it was meant to be a flattering remark, meaning she was so attractive to him & he would have scooped her up if he could have.

  16. dorothy says:

    Hey, the girl got around ALOT this past year. Paternity test sounds like a good idea.

  17. icantbelievethis says:

    @spinner I agree. Who cares if she ‘sleeps around’ while she was unmarried? I don’t understand the need to call a woman a ‘slut’, haven’t we moved past that?

    I saw her on that Rachel Zoe show and she seemed like so much fun and so relaxed. She seems like the girlfriend you go out drinking with or for a girls night.

  18. tapioca says:

    “Who cares if she ’sleeps around’ while she was unmarried?”

    No-one, except that: a). she takes her young son along for the ride & b). she’s doing it because she’s clearly desperate and can’t be without a man for more than a minute. You don’t talk marriage and babies with guys you’re just f***ing for fun!

  19. Embee says:

    I read the comment as being a reference to the fact that they were playing fiancees who presumably have sex. It didn’t seem like a comment about Kate’s dating habits.

    While I wish she would delay a lot longer in introducing her son, I have no issues with her social life. She’s a free spirit.

    She also seems like a real sweetheart and all-around fun gal, to me. She has a lot of love to give, in many contexts. Hasn’t she been wanting another child for awhile?

  20. Audrey says:

    @ tapioca – I agree with your #1, not #2. It’s Kate’s life, she can sleep with whomever is a consenting adult. It’s her business if she doesn’t handle the relationships well. I think the bigger issue is that she flaunts it in front of the paps. If she didn’t want everyone to know who she’s sleeping with, she doesn’t have to be photographed with them. There are plenty of stars who you never see on these sites because they keep a low profile. Kate is not one of them.

  21. Maritza says:

    I doubt the baby’s daddy will hang around for long, she gets tired of her guys very fast and this one is about due.

  22. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    UGH.. She is single, she can do what she wants..

    Who cares? I dont think she cheated on her Boyfriend cause she’s been up his a$$ the entire time they’ve been seeing each other so….

  23. LT says:

    Oh come on, it was just a joke.

  24. guesty says:

    Funny.

  25. Katie says:

    Completely appropriate seeing how we’ve been hearing for years she a HOE

    she also needs to stop making movies!
    they’re all the same pathetic storylines

  26. Koolkitty says:

    Whatever about douche-boy….Her shoes are SICK!

  27. Solveig says:

    Although she’s one of the few celebrities I almost hate (I dislike many of them, but hatred is just… too much), IMO this joke was inappropriate no matter what he really meant with those words.

  28. launicaangelina says:

    this is off base but the movie poster is so crappy looking. bad photoshop and design.

  29. My2Cents says:

    Hello it’s 2011 guys! Slut? Hoe? Hasn’t that stigma passed yet? It has in my world. Thank god.

  30. Sally says:

    @Audrey RE: blind item

    I have a fairly reliable source that this is true! Though I heard this a while ago, and haven’t got an update.. so sorry I can’t be more clear about it!

  31. Delusional says:

    walk of shame..

  32. Hb says:

    Eww. I thought posed couple shots like this were against everything Muse stood for.

    RIP Gaia Polloni

  33. Carrie says:

    Hm… This guy is absolutely worthless douche for making jokes like that. It’s a child he is talking about. Have some respect. And people here who think he is right are all the same (worthless douche))). I wish all fangirls to get laid already and stop counting somebody else’s boyfriends. Take care

  34. LittleDeadGirl says:

    I have nothing against her and don’t care one way or another about her dating life or know anything about it. I don’t think the joke was meant as an insult to her dating habit. I thought it was done in a light spirit since they were currently in a movie with onscreen romance … I didn’t really it take it that badly but I’m innapropriate half the time too …

    Carrie: Woah tone down the anger there, no need to call people worthless for voicing an opinion on a relatively mild subject.

  35. the H says:

    If this was a male celebrity nobody would blink an eye. But God forbid a woman have multiple parners…

    I dont love Kate. But who cares, you know?

  36. Camille says:

    I’m glad others felt the same as me. Hilarious! Definitely deserved. 😀

    Poor Matt being with that 🙁

  37. Weeble says:

    Joke or not, she is a straight up skank, and she probably did sleep with several people while on set. Why does she get cut slack for being a slore?

  38. Sparkly says:

    He joked at the Children Awaiting Parents bash…

    Really? That just seems doubly wrong to me.

    Possibly true, but that line, it killed me. 😛

  39. Francesca says:

    Not so cold in London, around 12 degrees, but definitely windy! Love the coat!!! <3
