In her new film "How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days," Kate Hudson plays a frustrated self-help writer for a woman's magazine who seems to have come up with the perfect new article.
As Andie Anderson, Composure magazine's "how-to" columnist, Hudson has to write a firsthand accounts of all the things that women do to inadvertently drive men away and she's got to do it in 10 days.
Hudson visits The Early Show Monday to talk about off-screen and on-screen romances.
In the film, Hudson’s mission is to find a guy, get him to fall in love with her, then make all the classic dating mistakes so he'll dump her. But that is not what she has done in real life.
On Dec. 31, 2000, after her "Almost Famous" success and as she was filming "The Four Feathers," she married musician Chris Robinson in Colorado and then took a year off to be with her husband.
