People magazine only looked at Alex Rodriguez's batting average during his romantic involvements with Madonna, Kate Hudson, and Cameron Diaz (his current girlfriend/whatever), so the Post decided to offer a comprehensive look at how well the slugger does with his various blondes—adding ex-wife Cynthia and stripper Joslyn Morse (she of the "Stray-Rod" cover) into the mix. more ›

Clearly believing that two Hollywood starlets will sell papers, the Daily News devoted front page real estate to the alleged spat between Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson over Alex Rodriguez. There's nothing new in the News' article, which is based on the US Weekly analysis of this verrrry exciting sorta/not quite love triangle. The Post mentions the feud in Page Six and has this quote from a "source close to" Kate Hudson: "Kate thinks Cameron is an aging old-lady actress struggling to remain sexy and relevant." Meow, indeed! more ›

OMG, this explains everything about A-Rod's relationship with Cameron Diaz. US Weekly claims she and Kate Hudson are "locked in a bitter battle over Alex Rodriguez... An insider believes Diaz is bedding Rodriguez as a form of retaliation after Hudson hooked up with Justin Timberlake in January 2007 -- just two days after the couple of four years split." The insider says, "Kate thinks it's payback, pure and simple," while Diaz's friend offers, "Cameron was actually in a serious long-term relationship with Justin. She thinks it's a joke Kate would be mad. Kate is only upset because she hates being single." Another claim: Hudson got breast implants after they broke up because A-Rod likes "busty women." more ›

So, Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz are dating. But before you assume you'll be spotting Diaz at Yankees games the way yesteryear's news Kate Hudson was, think again: A source tells Betty Confidential, "He doesn’t want what happened to him and Kate to happen between him and Cameron. Kate was at every New York game and then some and even went to Alex’s game practice. Things got too clingy too fast." The source adds, "Cameron is not really into baseball, so she wouldn’t want to go to all the games." She was apparently cool with just hanging out with A-Rod in their Boston hotel suite all weekend when the Yanks were playing the Red Sox. more ›

It seems the Kate Hudson/A-Rod breakup is getting more attention than their relationship ever did. Today the Daily News says the starlet is shacked up at her family's Aspen chalet, where Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are helping are helping get over the Yankee. Meanwhile, her friends say, "Kate is better off. She had much better chemistry with Owen Wilson. Alex is such a diva. When he came to the London premiere of Nine, it was obvious he didn't like standing in the background." But his friends say he just wasn't ready for a serious relationship (typical), and that being together "helped her more than him." more ›

Kate Hudson may be all about working out during the day, but the Post says she's downing dirty martinis once the sun goes down! They report she did just that last night at Strada 57 with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell — a source says she was drowning her sorrows after an expected phone call from alleged ex A-Rod never came. "She expected him to call [after a recent fight], but he didn't — instead he went to Miami and had a good time with a number of good-looking girls." Oh Kate, anyone with a portrait of themselves as a centaur isn't worth it. more ›

As she continues her high-profile romance with the Yankees' third baseman, Kate Hudson is getting a little boost from the Yankees. At least, that's what Page Six says. more ›

If you glanced at the Daily News' cover today, you might think the tabloid was saying a kiss between Yankees' third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Hollywood starlet Kate Hudson will make you sick. Actually the "Sick" headline refers to a disturbing look at city hospitals, while A-Rod and K-Hud's canoodling has its own feature: According to sports writer Rich Shapiro, the pair "put on a very public display of affection for the first time, locking lips during the team's annual family picnic." And A-Rod's two daughters, Ella, 1, and Natasha, 4, were also present. Yankees manager Joe Girardi may give Rodriguez a day off, since he's "4-for-22 with no homers and three RBIs in his last six games, and he's whiffed six times in his last three games." Newsday points out it could be "preventive," since "A-Rod turns 34 Monday and had a big birthday bash planned for last night in the city, thrown by Hudson, with all his Yankees teammates invited." It's unclear what the overall Hudson effect on A-Rod's performance is; a few weeks ago, it seemed mixed. more ›

It took Alex Rodriguez some 13-plus seasons to have the scheduling gods grant his first ever regular game season to be played in his hometown of Miami against the Marlins. How did Joe Girardi celebrate the homecoming? By giving A-Rod the first two games of the series off due to "fatigue." But is A-Rod exhausted from leftover effects of off-season hip surgery—or being linked to Hollywood starlets? The Post says that Rodriguez was able to get enough leverage out of his recovering hips to make a night of it with new romantic band-aid Kate Hudson in South Beach until 2:30 in the morning after spending Friday night's game on the bench. Despite sitting out, A-Rod had 100 tickets put aside for friends and family to watch the Yankees win without their slumping third baseman, who is hitless in his last 15 at-bats and hitting .212 for the season. The doctor who performed A-Rod's hip surgery said that he was happy to see him rest and wished the slugger had already sat more, instead of playing all of his first 38 games back, with only three as DH. more ›

It was a modern Father's Day for some of Kate Hudson's past and present beaus. Yesterday Hudson, her current boyfriend Lance Armstrong, his three children, Hudson's ex-husband Chris Robinson, and their son Ryder all attended a two-hour brunch in Brooklyn together in honor of Father's Day. more ›

Yesterday WWD had a story on how the transit strike is effecting our fashions. Leave it to them to declare the comeback of Uggs in a "major way". Though the Chicago Sun Times will declare it's the "Reeboks-and-gym-socks-with-your-business-suit" look that have come back in to style. We're they ever in style? And if so, what the hell does the Chicago Sun Times know about what we're wearing during the transit strike. more ›

If you're an intense professional in a movie or sitcom, watch out. Because a relative will die, leaving to you care for their children (via some tragic incident). But at least comic antics will ensue. Last week, Kate Hudson agreed to star in a movie called Raising Helen, about a rising professional who suddenly inherits her sister's three children, when her sister dies. Today, it was announced that Lori Loughlin would star in a WB showabout a woman who inherits her sister's kids after the sister dies. Hmm. One of the best comedies on air now, The Bernie Mac Show, is about a man who takes care of his sister's three kids, because his sister is a crack addict. Other movies with a similar theme: Mostly Martha (sister dies, intense chef inherits her niece), Baby Boom (distant relatives die, leaving intense career woman to inherit baby girl), Evening Star (daughter dies, leaving intense grandmother to inherit three children), and countless others. more ›
