Kate Hudson Dispels Arod Engagement Rumors

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:02:22

theinsider.com - Kate Hudson gets candid in a new interview about rumors she is engaged to Alex "AROD" Rodriguez, losing 20 pounds off her already trim frame, and whether she'd ever get Botox. She tells Elle UK magazine about a ring spotted on her right hand that provoked rumors among certain publications, "'Did you know that it was this one, on my right hand," she explains to the reporter. "I hear about this and I'm like, 'Why would I even respond? What would I say if you're going to lie about something ridiculous?' And if you really did your job, you'd look at the pictures taken that day and realize [the ring] was on my right hand." She also reports that she's losing 20 pounds for a role playing a terminally ill woman, but says, "I'm pretty solid, actually. I'm not, like, 110 pounds. But I'm probably heading towards that." She tells Elle UK that she misses being able to freely consume alcoholic beverages without weight worries: "And I love my glass of wine. I love tequila. To be in New York for two weeks and not have one beverage! I'm not sure I've ever done that." And on Botox, she reports, "I was in a press conference once, and someone says, 'So, I can tell you've never had Botox!' Is that a compliment? Or are you trying to say I'm starting to get wrinkles? I literally was like, 'What?' Everyone's so obsessed with who gets Botox, but it's great! Are you kidding? The fact that women can avoid going under the knife, and get a little Botox treat and not have to worry about it? I'm glad it's there for when it's time."

Baby Talk With New Mom Jennifer Hudson

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:50:14

theinsider.com - Jennifer Hudson is in her first months of motherhood and she's opening up about the bottle-feedings and lullabies that go with taking care of her baby son David Daniel Jr. "I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," Hudson -- who welcomed first child on Aug. 10 with fiancé, David Otunga -- tells People magazine. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?" Hudson and Otunga kept her pregnancy secret for as long as possible, saying of the secret, "David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there." The singer/actress says of her son's playful personality, "His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it’s the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it’s like he knows, ‘Ain’t nothing come out of here. No, I don’t want that. Where’s the real deal?’ His best friend is that bottle; that’s all he wants." She tells People that baby David will "just turn off like a switch" when she sings to him and as for his feedings, Hudson says she's "never seen a baby eat like he does." So will the award winning actress and singer's son go down the same career path as his mother? "We'll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school," she tells the publication. "My mom always said, 'Whatever you want to do, I'll support you as long as you’re happy.' So I will do the same."
