Kate Hudson is stepping up promotion of her latest interchangeable romantic-comedy, Something Borrowed, and she’s been doing many, many interviews. In true Kate Hudson fashion, though, she barely discusses the film at all. She’s pregnant, so it seems more like she’s promoting her bump. But it’s fine – I like that she’s the kind of celebrity who likes talking about herself and what’s going on in her life. In an interview with Extra, Kate said that being pregnant “is wonderful. You do get the pregnant mush-brain… you know what it’s like? It’s like getting stoned.” See? I said that the other day – pregnant women always looked stoned to me. It’s the hormones – the hormones give pregnant women that blissed-out, hungry look that I associate with being stoned. Kate also talked about gaining weight with this pregnancy, saying, “My doctor looked at me and goes, ‘So let’s try not to gain 68 pounds this pregnancy,’ I told her I wasn’t promising anything.” Haha, that’s kind of funny. Anyway, Kate covers the new issue of InStyle Magazine, and People Magazine has some excerpts from the magazine:

When the news first broke that Kate Hudson was expecting a baby with British rocker Matthew Bellamy, many wanted to know more about him. And now, Hudson herself has opened up about their love story, including sharing how they met and offering a peek into what led to her surprise pregnancy.

“You always hear people say, ‘I never thought this would be the person I would end up with,’ but I don’t think you ever really know,” Hudson, 31, says in the May issue of InStyle, on newsstands April 22. “I love that Matthew knows how to express himself. He shows his love. He communicates.”

The musically-inclined couple met for the first time at the renowned Coachella music festival, Hudson says.

She was “watching Radiohead’s Thom Yorke with a guy I knew from high school, who introduced me to Matthew,” says Hudson. “We realized we had met a few years earlier, in Australia. Then I got distracted and said, ‘I’ve got to find my friends; I don’t know where they went.’ He just looked at me and said, ‘Come on, I’ll take care of you.’ That’s when I went, ‘Wait a minute, who are you?’ ”

Bellamy, 32, lead singer of the band Muse, eventually asked Hudson for her number, and the rest, as they say, is history. But what kept her interested in those early days?

“Matthew was polite and immediately protective, which for somebody like me who’s all over the place – one minute I’m over here and the next I’m over there – is important.” Plus, she adds, “He is just an amazing person.”

That said, Hudson didn’t feel the thunderbolt that assured her that he was “the one.”

“In the beginning I felt like, okay, this is going to be heavy. Am I prepared for this? Because it had been a while, and I wasn’t looking for that,” she tells InStyle. “But I just couldn’t stay away. I wanted to talk to him and be with him all the time. On our first dates we would take long walks and talk the entire day.”

Soon enough they were in love – and, says Hudson, pregnancy seemed a natural progression, even though it wasn’t exactly planned.

“Well, it wasn’t like we didn’t know what we were doing,” says Husdon with a laugh. “There were no ovulation kits involved. We were tempting fate, and it worked.”

Adds Hudson, who has a 7-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson: “I didn’t think I was going to have another kid until I was maybe 33 – that was in the back of my mind before I met Matthew. But we were so in love when it happened, it was just so exciting for both of us.”

Aw, that sounds sweet. I do think Bellamy cares for her, honestly, and I think they’re very happy together – for now. We’ll see where they are in a few years. Oh, and who is Kate trying to kid with “This is going to be heavy. Am I prepared for this? Because it had been a while, and I wasn’t looking for that”? She hooked up with Bellamy just a few months after a relatively serious relationship with Alex Rodriguez, and she had spent those months in between A-Rod and Bellamy hooking up with several different men. Yeah, maybe she wasn’t really looking for anything serious at the moment she met Bellamy, but she’s definitely the kind of girl who is always searching for a boyfriend.

Oh, and Kate is convinced she’s having a girl – she’s even employing some witchy old wives’ tales to convince us!
