Kate Hudson is also in that awful-looking Mother’s Day movie which landed Jennifer Aniston on the cover of People this week. I took one for the team and watched the trailer and there’s a meet-cute scene in the trailer between Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis’s single parent characters while he’s in the supermarket buying tampons for his teenage daughter. Several other played-out movie tropes occur including a career woman who gave up a child for adoption, a child peeing on someone, and an overbearing mother. I could do an entire post on all the things wrong with that trailer, but I’ll spare you.
Hudson has been doing the press junket, and she has interviews with both Entertainment Tonight and E! ET got Hudson to talk about that date she snapchatted with football player J.J. Watt. Only Kate says that she’s not really dating J.J., it was a group date and they have the same agent. Sure. To E!, Kate talked more about her kids and her relationship with her mom, Goldie Hawn.
On posting to social media
You should never post without getting someone’s permission. You know when you’re in a group photo and there’s one friend who won’t be happy with that picture… I’m always like ‘Everybody has to approve it.’
On if she’s dating J.J. Watt
We actually just have the same agent. We were at, like, a big dinner. It’s just what happens.
On being a working mom
It’s a hard thing when you’re a working mom and you’re thousands of miles away from your kids and they’re doing things that are important in their life that you can’t be present for. It doesn’t make you a bad mom.
Q: What is the biggest secret you keep from [your mom] Goldie?
I’ve always had a really super open relationship with her. I talk about everything. I’m like the person who comes home and can’t hide anything. Even my friends sometimes are like, ‘Kate, you’ve got to stop talking so much about your life.’ And I’m like, ‘Why?’ I can’t keep things in, really.
I really enjoy Kate’s interviews because you get the impression that she’s unrehearsed and is just talking off the cuff. (I don’t know if I’m buying that excuse about her date though.) It’s nice to hear that Kate and Goldie are so close. Now that I’m in my 40s I’m like that with my mom too. It took a while but we’re close and I tell her almost everything. She gives the best advice and I always feel like I can go to her with a problem or issue. Love you mom! (She reads CB too.)
Kate is set to star in a TV show with her dad, Kurt Russell, called Barberry Coast. They already have a distributor but are looking for a network to pick it up. The show will be set during the gold rush in San Francisco, and that’s a great historical setting but we already have one of the best series of all time set in that period, Deadwood. Unfortunately Mel Gibson is going to co-write and also star. Mel and Kurt were in 1988’s Tequila Sunrise together but I’m still surprised at this collaboration. I hope for everyone’s sake that Mel is sober now or they’re in for a world of hurt.
Update: Kate celebrated her 37th birthday with friends, her mom and a bunch of shirtless men. We know because she Instagrammed it. You can see more here.
Here’s Kate at the opening of World of Cyberobics, a fitness studio and tourist attraction on Alexanderplatz in Berlin. I guess the concept is short workout videos which you can do for free and longer classes available when you join McFit (a line of German fitness studios) or pay. She looks like Beetlejuice in those pants.
