Kate Hudson used to be a stalker. The "Bride Wars" actress - who has a four-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson - admits she went through a phase of obsessively following her potential conquests.

She said: "I don't like being smothered. If a guy is calling me all the time, it just seems so desperate. Although I did turn into a stalker once."

Kate Hudson can't have a conversation without swearing. The "Fool's Gold" star was delighted when she read the script for her new movie because it reflected her real-life foul mouth.

She said: "I swear a lot in 'My Best Friend's Girl.' But I actually talk like that. It was fun to swear in a movie."

Kate Hudson struggles to find a man because her tastes are so similar to other women's.

The 'Fool's Gold' star - who is divorced from Chris Robinson and has been romantically linked to actor Owen Wilson and cyclist Lance Armstrong in the past - believes she is still single because women always look for the same characteristics in men, so end up competing for the affections of potential partners.

Kate Hudson's four-year-old son is "really into rap music and hard rock." The "Fool's Gold" star - who is divorced from Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, the father of their son Ryder - is surprised by her tot's choice of music, but is prepared to accept it.

She said: "Ryder is really into rap music and hard rock. It's so funny because while I like rap, it's not really what Chris and I would listen to around the house. But my kid just loves it. It makes him feel cool. I see his little face and all of a sudden he thinks he's cool."

Kate Hudson claims ego and pride prevent people enjoying friendships with their former partners.

The 'Fool's Gold' actress says she has remained on good terms with her ex-husband Chris Robinson - with whom she has a four-year-old son, Ryder - and claims only people's injured pride is what usually stops them from getting along with their old flames.
