Goldie Hawn‘s ex-husband Bill Hudson has a tell-all book coming out about their marriage and his lack of a relationship with their children, Oliver and Kate Hudson. As you’ll recall, Oliver and Kate were raised by Kurt Russell, and Kate once said, “My father doesn’t know me from a hole in the wall.” Yet somehow, that hasn’t stopped him from calling her names and lecturing her on the importance of family. Bill says in the book, “I love Kate, but… She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother [who has Alzheimer’s].” [Radar]

I’m a natural foods chef and health is a top priority for me and my family. The Skinnygirl Margarita is made with natural ingredients and its label is consistent with U.S. federal regulations, which is why it is carried in stores nationwide and continues to fly off the shelves.” [TMZ]

I asked my Grandma Chenoweth, ‘How can it be that he’s going to hell? I just don’t think that’s correct.’ And she said, ‘Well Kris, I read the Bible like I eat fish: I take the meat, and it serves me well, but I don’t choke on the bone.’ And I think she was onto something. I read my Bible and I pray and all of that – really do. But at the same time, I don’t think being gay is a sin. Period.” [OnTopMag]
