The relationship between “You, Me and Dupree” co-stars Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson — never officially confirmed, but widely presumed to have broken up her marriage — may have gone the way of most rebound flings. A new Us Weekly cover story says the couple is kaput.
“They have definitely cooled off,” the magazine quotes a Kate pal. “She adores him and wishes it had worked out. But it didn’t.”
According to the tabloid, Kate has already moved on. Reportedly, dreamy Irish rocker Damien Rice was on Kate’s arm at a recent party, and she’s also dated shirt-aversive stud Matthew McConaughey. (Man, some girls have all the luck!)
Not that the Butterscotch Stallion is home pining for her: “Owen is calling girlfriends to tell them he is single,” another source reports to Us.
Kate married Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson in 2000; they separated in August. The couple has remained amicable for their son, Ryder, almost 7. But even with Owen out of the picture, it’s unlikely a reconciliation is in the cards; Chris has been photographed with a new squeeze.
And with the divorce not even final, perhaps it’s for the best that Kate, who’s just 27, is not rushing into another long-term commitment. “She is exploring everything while trying to get over Owen,” a source explains to the magazine. Sow those oats, girl!
Lindsay: In Demand
Speaking of oat-sowing, Lindsay Lohan could be doing endorsements for Quaker by now. Lately, the serial-dater starlet has been fielding offers from some rather dubious suitors.
Music producer Scott Storch, who’s been linked to Lindsay’s “frenemy” Paris Hilton (and even produced a nasty track by Paris pal Brandon Davis dissing Lindsay), now”has a total crush on her,” a source tells the New York Post, which reports that Scott showered LiLo with $1 million in diamond jewelry for the holidays. Another source, however, says Scott is only sweating her because he wants to collaborate professionally. Hmm … somehow, after the performance of Lindsay’s last album, we’re not buying that account.
But the Storchster isn’t even the most unsavory character vying for Lindsay’s attention. None other than Kevin Federline recently text-messaged her saying, “We should hang out,” reports Us Weekly.
“She couldn’t believe he was so pathetic,” the magazine quoted a Lindsay pal as saying. “She doesn’t want him using her to make Britney jealous.”
Gee, that’s ironic. We seem to recall Lindsay blasting K-Fed’s album and publicly declaring that he was “so sexy” and that she’d be into “hooking up with him” — in order to annoy Britney and then-BFF Paris, just more than a month ago. Linds, the boy’s not too bright. Can you blame him for getting the wrong idea?
J.Lo’s No Step-‘Monster’
Since Jennifer Lopez wed Marc Anthony in 2004, baby buzz has swirled around the couple … but time and time again, pregnancy rumors haven’t panned out. So do they want to have kids or what?
“I come from a strong family, so of course I want to have one,” J.Lo tells People en Español, which named her No. 1 among its 100 Most Influential Hispanics. But being stepmom to Anthony’s three kids is fulfilling enough: “I do have my own family: my immediate family, my husband and his children. I get to share in all of that. I am very lucky to have that.”
And while a baby might make their happiness complete, the “Monster-in-Law” star is happy with her blended family just the way it is — and doesn’t want to jinx anything. As she explains to the magazine, “When you are as blessed as I am, you don’t like to push it.”
