Serial daters Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have broken up.
The couple started dating back in May, with Kate even introducing Lance to her son. A source told UsWeekly,
“There was no drama or ugliness – They just decided to end things. There is no hatred, just sadness.”
In the short time they were together, the 29-year-old actress was seen with the 36-year-old cyclist at many of his races and events, including his three-day Lance Armstrong Livestrong Summit in Columbus, Ohio this past weekend.
It was at the conference that Hudson and Armstrong decided to go their separate ways.
Justin Timberlake does his best Jessica Simpson impersonation as he stands in front of a cutout of the aspiring country singer onstage at the 2008 ESPY Awards held at NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
It’s ok Justin… we ALL make fun of Jessica.
People magazine reports,
The singer earned raves as he alternated between self-depricating humor (at one point, he poked fun at his infamous 2004 Super Bowl performance with Janet Jackson, saying “I wanted to be the only guy at a football game to get to second base”) and playfully mocking audience members (he lowered his nose to one of David Beckham’s Tom Ford shoes and proclaimed, “Smells like $250 million to me!”). He also performed several big musical numbers.
“If I made the decisions, I’d ask Justin to be [our] entertainment every week,” Monday Night Football host Stuart Scott told reporters during the show. “After what he’s putting down tonight … Justin can come hang out with us on the set anytime.”
Seconded snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler, who won best female action sport athlete: “Not only is he funny, but he obviously knows [the sports] he’s talking about. I was here two years ago when Lance Armstrong was hosting and he did a great job, but JT is ruling it.”
Even the athletes he poked fun at seemed impressed. “It’s all in good fun,” said Terrell Owens, whose emotional news conference after the Dallas Cowboys’ season ended was spoofed during the show at L.A.’s Nokia Theater. “He’s had some funny dialogue; his interaction with the crowd is good. He’s an entertainer, and he did a great job.”
The ESPY Awards air July 20 on ESPN.
Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong were caught swapping spit on the courts.
The couple were spotted between volleys during a doubles match in Brentwood, Los Angeles yesterday.
The actress took her eye off the ball long enough to wrap her arms around the seven-time Tour de France champion and shower him with kisses.
After the game, they slipped off for a romantic meal together in Laguna Beach.
The pair first began seeing each other during a visit to the Bahamas in May, right after she broke up with the troubled actor Owen Wilson.
While they have tried to keep their romance low-key, they have increasingly been seen by each other’s side in recent weeks.
You know, I’d be happy for Kate — if Lance wasn’t such a womanizer.
As the NY Times reports,
But there was also plenty of publicity unauthorized by Mr. Armstrong, including three days of coverage in The New York Post, a string of articles on Us Magazine’s Web site and an article in Life & Style entitled “How Lance Stole Kate From Owen,” all chronicling Mr. Armstrong’s relationship with the actress and tabloid darling Kate Hudson.
Furthermore, many people seem to mention his two-year relationship with the singer Sheryl Crow, his romance with the fashion designer Tory Burch and his canoodling last year in a New York nightclub with Ashley Olsen, rather than his serious pursuits.

Just Lame Stuff linked with Kate Hudson And Lance Armstrong Caught Kissing
Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are in Toronto this weekend for a charity bike ride… they even brought their kids with them.
Don’t you just love it when celebrity couples leave buildings with with large gaps between them? “No, we aren’t together… see the distance?”

Lance Armstrong (36) and Ashley Olsen (21)’s new romance takes them on a well-traveled Hollywood path. Here’s how other celebrity couples have handled a decade-plus difference:
Marilyn Manson (38) and Evan Rachel Wood (20): After splitting with wife Dita Von Teese, rocker Marilyn Manson took up with actress Evan Rachel Wood, 18 years his junior. Manson told Rolling Stone that Wood, “was a real catalyst to help me realize that I wasn’t delivering the message that I always stood for.” And Wood seems defiant about the seemingly bizarre match, telling GQ, “I have blond hair and blue eyes and my boyfriend looks like a vampire. What do you want me to do about it?”
Demi Moore (44) and Ashton Kutcher (29): When Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher started dating in 2003, they were the most unexpected and fascinating couple in Hollywood. After two years of marriage, the novelty has worn off, but the love is still going strong. Kutcher says of Moore, “She’s my best friend, my everything.” And Moore has hinted that she’d like to have children with her strapping young hubby. “Once you hit three [children] and you’re outnumbered, it’s really like, ‘What’s the difference between three or four or five?’”
Warren Beatty (70) and Annette Bening (49): Annette Bening is more than just an award-winning actress — she’s the woman who tamed notorious Hollywood bachelor Warren Beatty. The couple, who have been married since 1992 and have four kids together, provide each other “proper perspective” on Tinseltown’s highs and lows, Bening has said. That was never more true than when Beatty accepted the 2006 Lifetime Achievement Golden Globe, telling the audience, “It isn’t easy being humble when you’re married to Annette Bening.”
Angelina Jolie (32) and Billy Bob Thornton (52): Angelina and Billy Bob’s 2000-2003 marriage is best remembered for the extreme displays of affection that earned criticism from even her estranged father Jon Voight (”So much exhibitionism!”). But while Billy Bob still seems to hold a torch for Jolie (he has said that his ex “is an amazing, sexy person who happens to be beautiful”), the global do-gooder has moved on. Of her current beau (and father of her children) Brad Pitt, Jolie says “Brad is the first man to understand me.”
Justin Timberlake (26) and Cameron Diaz (35): In hindsight, when Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz both professed their fear of commitment on Ellen DeGeneres’s show, we should have known the relationship was doomed. While Timberlake told the host that any wedding was a good “15 years” off, Diaz confided, “I’m a commitment-phobe… don’t want to [get married].” Since their January split, both have found more age-appropriate hookups: Timberlake is dating actress Jessica Biel, 25, and Diaz has been spotted with actor Bradley Cooper, 32.

It really must be Halloween, that time of year when celebrities dress like sluttier versions of themselves and start acting crazier than normal. Take this latest celebrity couple rumor, for example - Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong were spotted at the Rose Bar together making out. Now that’s scary.
A bar spy says,
 “They came together with a group of friends. Ashley drank red wine, sat on his lap and they were making out all night. They left together around 2 a.m.”
Lance is 36, Ashley is 21, and together they’re just plain creepy. I don’t know why, they just don’t seem to go together.
What others are saying:
- Mollygood says, “Kinda gross, but the guy’s a cancer survivor, so he gets some leeway. Do what feels good, Lancey! Also: Who pegged an Olsen to be mature enough to look past a guy having only one testicle?”
- dlisted says, “Ash is only 21. Everyone should spend their 20s slutting it up. Get in, get on, get off and get out! Lance is a hot piece of man meat, so she should suck that one nut and then move on.”
- celebitchy says, “As a fit guy under 40, he’s not creepy-old for a 21 year-old, just in-denial old. This doesn’t make me go ‘ewww’ so much as say ‘why?’”

Lance Armstrong didn’t train very hard for the New York City Marathon and came in half an hour behind the woman’s winner.
Lance Armstrong, who knows a thing or two about tough competition, got more of a challenge than he expected Sunday when he ran the ING New York City Marathon. “For the level of condition that I have now, that was without a doubt the hardest physical thing I have ever done,” the seven-time Tour de France winner said after the race, according to the Associated Press. “I never felt a point where I hit the wall. It was really a gradual progression of fatigue and soreness.”
Armstrong, 35, placed 856th in a field of more than 35,000 runners. His goal was to run the five-borough course in less than three hours – a feat he accomplished, though barely, crossing the finish line in 2:59:36. Visitors to the marathon’s official Web site could watch his progress live on a special “Lance cam.”
 The week before the race, Armstrong told the AP, “I’ve been training some, but I wouldn’t call it serious. It’s just something to fill a void in my life after I quit competing as a professional cyclist.”
That approach may have come back to haunt him. “I think I bit off more than I could chew. I thought the marathon would be easier,” he said on Sunday. “(My shins) started to hurt in the second half, especially the right one. I could barely walk up here, because the calves are completely knotted up.”
Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil won the men’s race in a time of 2:09:58. Defending champion Jelena Prokopcuka finished first among the women, with a time of 2:25:05.
Beaten by a girl. Actually, probably several. How embarrassing.
Ahh, Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey. Not only jogging - but “shirtless” jogging. Yummy. Now, who do you think is going to win? Sure, you might be thinking of their running race, but I am actually talking about the”hotty” race. Me thinks Matthew McConaughey will win - but only by a pec.
