Us: Kate Hudson hit on Thom Yorke before settling on Matthew Bellamy

69906ef_hudson_b-gr_04
US Weekly has a bitchy little piece this week that claims that Kate Hudson’s new boyfriend, Muse singer Matthew Bellamy, was her second choice while she was trolling for potential musician boyfriends at Coachella in April. US was the first outlet to report that Kate and Matthew were a new item, which was semi-confirmed by a double date the two had in Paris with Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper. Now US makes it sound like Kate was on the hunt and Matthew just happened to fall prey to her charms. They report that she was initially trying to get Thom Yorke of Radiohead to pay attention to her and when that failed she asked a friend to help her find her next target.

Kate Hudson, 31, may have flown to Paris to watch Muse frontman beau Matthew Bellamy, 32, perform… and even brought him to hang out with pals Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper… But a source says when the pair met at Coachella in April, the serial dater was more interested in Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, 41, (who has a longtime girlfriend): “She was chatting him up. He just shrugged and was unresponsive.” Another insider adds, “After she was rejected, she said, ‘What other up-and-coming bands can I go hit on?” Enter Bellamy. Says the source: “She just pounced!”

I can buy that Kate was trying to talk to Thom Yorke. Radiohead is awesome and maybe she just wanted to hang out with them and Yorke wasn’t having it. Kate’s last husband was a musician and she just seems to love the type. The thing that makes me think this report is not true is that quote that Kate was looking for another “up-and-coming band” to hit on. In no way is Radiohead an up and coming band, and Muse is pretty well known too. I think we should give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was just hanging out backstage and wasn’t actively looking for a boyfriend. Can’t a girl chat with some rock stars without being desperate? Plus they’re careful to quote “another” insider with that comment that Kate was looking for someone else.

    Gotta love Thom. He sure doesn’t tolerate celebrities gladly. He’s probably nicer to bums on the street.

  2. ctkat says:

    Thom will have my eternal love for blowing off Miley Cyrus that one time (remember that? Awesome!).

  3. Kimberly says:

    Does she have a daughter ? Because she’d be the WORST example of how to be in a healthy relationship . As soon as she meets a guy she brings them around her kids .

    I really can’t stand her for that one .

  4. meme says:

    ya gotta LOVE thom yorke. blows off miley cyrus and now manwhore kate hudson.

  5. seVen says:

    Kimberly – She has a son, Ryder… Cant remember how old he is but I agree with you. That cant be healthy for little kids to see mom with a new guy every few months.

  6. denise says:

    Kate loves the schlong!

  7. Kazoo81 says:

    i love thom. that is all.

  8. kd says:

    guys must have an infatuation with her at first, then when they get to know her personality . . . they run and run fast!

    or

    she is a low self-esteemed needy chick that likes to sleep around for “love”.

  9. Lisa says:

    she must be unbearable to live with if so many men have passed on having long term relationship with her, I love Thom York for blowing her off.

  10. gloaming says:

    My wee Yorkles must have had made this face to Kate.

  11. Lauren says:

    Thom’s girlfriend has a Ph.D, why on Earth would he waste his valuable time on some airheaded romcom actress? Please. Kate Hudson is a groupie.

  12. Zelda says:

    She was TALKING to him?!
    Wh*re.
    I keep from talking to men by praying in my head all day.

  13. Jeri says:

    She seems ready to get married as soon as she declares she’s in love. I thought she was enjoying being single after ARod dumped/two-timed her.

  14. Liana says:

    Thom Yorke isn’t the first or only “cool” musician to blow her off. Just sayin that girlfriend needs to stop trying to hit on other women’s men.

  15. lolo says:

    I love him. Fell in love with him at age thirteen (:

  16. normade says:

    God she looks bloated. Never liked Muse, more reason not to like them. Dude has bad taste!

  17. Kim says:

    Shame, I loved Kate in Almost Famous but then she started doing sucky roles. Thom is my hero.

  18. stk4 says:

    “what other up and coming new bands can i hit on.” does she even know who thom yorke really is, sort of established and has been for many years, Muse is far from up and coming as well. these people are in such a bubble and are so dumb.

  19. sidona says:

    i absolutely adore Muse – what i can´t understand is, why the genius matt bellamy would fall for such a maneater…..utterly scandalous! he´s been in a relationship for nearly 9 years with a common girl and always seemed so down to earth and normal and always mentioned in interviews, how much he hates being seen as a “celeb”. poor guy, she´ll just drop you as soon as a-rod, lance, owen, dax, …. are back on track….what a shame, matthew.

  20. dezz says:

    Ok actually he was her THIRRRD pic

    first she went to thom

    THEN she went to mah dominic howard!
    he brushed her off and then went to bellamy even tho she said he was UGLY whhich he is NOT.

    i say…FUCK HER. she can just……. go find some OTHER dude to muster up to

  21. the-panda-tamer says:

    I cant believe you idiots think she actually said that. Paris Hilton would be believable of saying this, but look at her. You might not like Kate Hudson but shes not stupid.

    If shes into musicians, shes going to know the difference between ‘up and coming’ and already famous.

  22. Kitty says:

    The US weekly report sounds completely made up. Kate is a rock chick. You’d be hard pressed to find an American who didn’t know Radiohead and Muse are two of the biggest bands in England.

    The British music press have always tried to play Muse and Radiohead off against each other. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d never approached Yorke and the lying journo is trying to stir the pot.

  23. Carolyn Carprenter says:

    According to industry witnesses, Kate did NOT use the “up and coming” band remark in reference to Radiohead… it was only after Thom (God) Yorke told her to hit the road that she started mouthing off about finding somebody else, and face it, for the average person, Muse isn’t exactly U2 or Pearl Jam in terms of US recognizability. And these same witnesses (yeah, I know one) confirmed that she went after Dom first and made the remark about Matt being ugly. Isn’t the expiration date on this farce just about up, anyhow? Matt, so many of us used to have so much respect for you… and until you dump the ho, that respect has ceased to exist.

  24. Kitty says:

    I wonder what happened to Gaia? She sounded like a lovely girl.

  25. Definitely believe that that you said. Your favourite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest factor to have in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed even as other people consider worries that they just do not know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the whole thing with no need side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
