Kate Hudson Branded 'a Viper' by Dad
Kate Hudson's father has branded his daughter a "viper". Bill Hudson has slammed the actress for not allowing him to see his six-month-old grandson, Ryder Russell Richardson, and blames his ex-wife, Goldie Hawn, for poisoning Kate's mind against him. He told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kate used to be a sweet, little girl but now she is a viper... just like her mother. She has seen the way Goldie used her celebrity to trash me for the sake of her career, by saying I was living off her - and now Kate is carrying that on." Bill, who split from Goldie when Kate was just 14 months old, admits it was hard when he heard Kate, who is married to Black Crowes star Chris Robinson, named her son after her stepdad, Kurt Russell. Bill, who claims he was a good father to Kate, added in the interview: "The naming of Ryder was a real slap in the face. It was like a knife being stuck through my heart." But Kate, 25, has always claimed Kurt is her father. She recently said: "Kurt is my dad. He's a saviour who came into my life. My real dad was in and out of our lives."

Opposites make perfect couples, says Kate Hudson!
Movie actress Kate Hudson insists that her relationship with rocker Chris Robinson is successful because they have completely different personalities like her parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The 'Almost Famous' star believes that opposites make perfect couples because she is hedonistic and Robinson detests capitalism and materialism but adores her. "He is extremely anti the big corporations. Chris would never sell a song to be used in a commercial so he's a very extreme version of being on the opposite side," TeenHollywood quoted Hudson as saying. "Whereas I live in a world where I'm involved in all those things. I love dressing up and celebrating what we do. It's actually very similar to my mom and my pa's relationship because their politics and their belief systems are so opposite, yet the relationship works fine," added Hudson.

"The experience of being a mother has completely changed my life. You have responsibility, you have to grow up quickly," the actress who recently gave birth to a son added.

Marshall Remembers Kate Hudson As a Girl
"Raising Helen" director Garry Marshall gets sentimental when he thinks back to the times when Kate Hudson was a little girl on his movie sets in the late 1980s. Marshall said he met Hudson when he was directing her mother, Goldie Hawn, and Kurt Russell in "Overboard." "She was a little girl in my way on the sets," Marshall told reporters. "And I couldn't work with her running around. But she had a certain peppiness. And we made friends so I could do that movie. "And later when she suddenly became a Kate Hudson, it was kind of interesting to work with somebody whose mother and probably stepfather I worked with." On the subject of directing child actors, Marshall said it's easy if you let kids be kids. In "Raising Helen," he had to wrangle the three kids who become Hudson's charges after they are orphaned. "On sets, they tell the kids to shut up," Marshall said about other directors. "'When you're standing here, you never speak, just say your lines and don't talk. None of that whispering and carrying (on).' I don't believe that's natural behavior for children. So I let them run around and jump around and then I say, 'All right, enough of that.'" Marshall said he tries to make movies that can bring families and generations together. When he was young, families were supposed to eat dinner together. But, Marshall said, "it was a lie." "Families don't eat together. Which I think is (part) of the problem," he said. "Because at a table you talk to each other. So I'm forever trying to get families to do things together. And movies are a part of it." "Raising Helen," a comedy about a career woman who becomes reluctant ward to her dead sister's three children, debuted at No. 4 at the box office with $14 million.
