Kate Hudson covers the September issue of Red UK. She’s not promoting any movies, so this must be a push for her Fabletics company. I get a kick out of the Fabletics ads — they appear to promise a tush like Kate’s if you wear her athletic clothing. Has anyone tried their clothes? They pick monthly outfits for you based upon your interests with no obligation to buy. The clothes look basic and functional and promise wicking capabilities. Hmm.

The journo in this interview seems shocked that Kate makes her confirmation call by herself. She also shows up without minders (a nanny for Bing doesn’t count). The topics of the conversation include her enduring engagement and how gossip magazines make women look bad. She also denies having an eating disorder to keep her figure:

Her 3-year engagement to Matt Bellamy: “I’m not in a rush. We are basically married. It is really about when are we going to take the time to plan a wedding.”

On dating/marrying musicians: “After Chris I didn’t think I’d ever date a musician again. That world is difficult. But it is what it is, right? I like people with musicality … I find it attractive.”

Tabloid interest in her love life: “It goes in waves. I think when you are single they just throw you in the fire. When you’re single, you are dating everybody. And you are like, ‘I never even met this person.’ You realise they want every female to be a wh-re. It’s true. These (gossip) magazines really, really want women to look bad. Why would you paint such a bad picture of women that young girls look up to? I will never understand that.”

No eating disorders here: “If there is one thing I will never have, it is an eating disorder. I won’t have girls — even if it is just one or two who care — thinking that. Because it’s a serious sickness, not something to plaster on the cover of a magazine. And I am the opposite. I want to be giving girls the message that, sometimes you do gain 70 pounds having a baby, and you can lose it if you want. The whole point is I want girls to love themselves. I want them to feel good about who they are.’

Journo says Kate should make a fitness DVD: “A lot of people say that.”

Kate is sweet and harmless. I think she’s genuinely aghast at the tabloid discussion of her love life. She’s correct about her dating encounters being sensationalized. Kate usually has long-term relationships, and it’s not like she was stumbling out of clubs and getting it on in public. Her Owen Wilson era was really heavy, but he’s a complicated guy. Their relationship was not a healthy one. I’m glad that she and Matt Bellamy are mostly drama free even though the tabs keep telling it differently.

On the eating disorder topic, Kate has already said that diets should be banned. She doesn’t have problems with food, and she’s responsible enough to realize girls are watching celebrities’ habits. I do think she excessively exercises at times. Kate worked out six hours per day (according to Star) to lose the baby weight. If that story’s true, does that qualify as a disorder?
