Kate Hudson: 'Of Course They Hate Us'

If you're an American and you go near Kate Hudson, keep your mouth shut, and stay away from the condiments.

She's been filming her latest movie, "Le Divorce," in Paris, and she obviously prefers the company of Parisians to folks like us.

Since she's been in 'Gay Paree', Hudson has apparently grown accustomed to the somber qualities of the continental Europeans, rather than the happy-go-lucky character of real Americans.

In an interview, she said, "Sometimes I'll be walking down the street and I'll hear some American and I'll just go, 'Of course they hate us, of course they can't stand us.'"

Some American? Is she now excluding herself?

Mrs. Robinson continued: "We're the most annoying, boisterous creatures in the world. I mean we come in and we eat mounds of food, and we're like, 'Where's the kaachup [sic] for our French fries.' I'm like, 'Shut up!'"

Preferring one condiment to another on fries - say for instance gravy, as in Canada, or mayonnaise, as in Holland - is a sign of obnoxiousness?

We think not, Kate. We think that perhaps you should stay in France if you like it there, and we'll stay here and stop seeing your movies.

Oops! Judging from the box office results of "Alex & Emma," it looks like we already have!

And The Black Crowes are without a doubt one of the hardest working bands in rock & roll.

Not anymore.

Besides, Chris loves guns.

In light of what has happened with Kurt Cobain, Phil Spector and Adam Ant, that's not necessarily a good thing.

Goldie Hawn's spawn.....

And just as flat-chested as her mother.

Kate has a point. Many American tourists behave deplorably.Living in Central Florida, an hour's drive from Disney World and all the other theme parks in Orlando and Tampa, I get to observe lots of tourists from overseas. The nicest, by far, are the British and the Australians. The worst are the French. They treat us locals as either circus freaks or servants. They're boorish, crude and arrogant in the extreme. Bad behavior while on vacation is not exclusively an American trait.

He might not be anything to look at,but the Black Crowes are a hell of a good band.

[Uncle Meat]

Yup, and a band that I have the upmost respect for due to them not comproimising their principles and giving into corporate sponsorship that they disagreed with.

Any band good enough for Jimmy Page to jam with gotta be good.Except for P.Daddy or whatever the hell his name is.[can't stand him,it was blasphemy to rip Kasmir the way he did]Saw the Crowes in Savannah years ago.Put on an excellant show.

I was once a lefty and I can tell you that a process is involved which begins with acquiring the ability to step outside of your country and view it from afar, the process gradually provides one with an extremely seductive feeling of belonging, also a sense of superiority over those who are not so enlightened, and evolves to the point where your country is THE ENEMY, in any and all instances.

I was a lefty once too, and let me applaud your analysis, but add one tiny suggestion. In my experience, it's not a matter of acquiring the ability to step outside the country to view it from afar, it comes from already feeling like a misfit in your own culture. Such people then, to protect the ego, decides that if they doesn't fit in it must be the fault of their culture, because otherwise they'll have to accept that there is something odd or wrong about THEM.

Of course, they never fit in anywhere, but living as an ex-patriot gives them the excuse as to why they don't fit in: they are ex-patriots, and they are regarded as rather exotic and special. This also appeals to the massive yet insecure ego of this particular breed of narcissist.

[Uncle Meat]

And just as flat-chested as her mother.

Both proud members of the "Itty Bitty Titty Comittee"

Well, the Robinson brothers' feud also had something to do with their demise. ;) I liked their 'Shake Your Money Maker' CD and the follow-up. These guys are famous (or infamous) for their push to get pot legalized.

How Hudson and Robinson hit it off is beyond me.

[A_perfect_lady]

He might not be anything to look at,but the Black Crowes are a hell of a good band.

Heh. I used to see the video of that 95 lb. scarecrow jerking around singing "Mama I'm sure hard to handle now..." and think, "Shoot, I could take him."

[Uncle Meat]

"Shoot, I could take him."

Now,now,that's not a way for a perfect lady to talk.He can't help it he's partyed till he's skin and bones.

[Uncle Meat]

Robinson had said in interveiws that he's no pot activist.He don't care one way or another if it ever got legalized.He just likes to indulge and doesn't think it's for everybody.

[rintense]

Wow. That's a change of heart. I can remember seeing something on VH1 about them supporting a legalize pot rally. Oh well.

[ladyinred]

I don't get it! Why would she say Americans hate us? She is an American! I am lost here!

[MissAmericanPie]

Who is Kate Hudson?

[MissAmericanPie]

I care, I love mayo on my fries.

[Uncle Meat]

The older you get,the less you get with the in your face legalize pot mentality.You start to get more unconfortable with being labeled a pothead and basicly get tired of fighting the system.It would be better for him to lay a low profile about it and just do his own thing.It's less hassle.

The nicest, by far, are the British and the Australians. The worst are the French.

I live in Orlando, have an annual pass to Universal and I totally agree with you!

BTW - I checked out your home page and my hubby is also an environmental engineer. He graduated with his Master's Degree in 1998.

Kate Hudson?
Is she that heroin-looking model?
