Lance Armstrong Hints at a Run for Political Office

Originally posted 07/25/2008 12:30PM

Between spearheading the cancer-education and fundraising Lance Armstrong Foundation and dating Kate Hudson, Lance Armstrong has his hands full.

But the cancer survivor and cyclist hinted Thursday night that he may be interested in expanding his empire to include something more: public service.

"There might come a time when you feel like you've reached a wall and you need to step into public office and try to make change through that channel or those ends," Armstrong, 36, told reporters at the Foundation's Livestrong Summit in Columbus, Ohio – which was attended by presumptive Republican Presidential candidate John McCain.

Lance Armstrong Dodges Kate Questions on The View

Originally posted 06/17/2008 02:10PM



Kate Hudson wouldn't spill anything about her budding romance with Lance Armstrong to the ladies of The View last week – and the athlete kept his lips sealed when he visited the show as well.

During an appearance Tuesday, Armstrong playfully dodged Barbara Walters's question about his relationship with the actress, saying, "I know you have to ask that question . . . and it's my right not to answer it." Still, he indulged them a little, explaining that he knows why everyone is curious. "When you're happy about something or proud about something, it's natural and human nature to talk about it," Armstrong said, citing an example: "If you don't eat two bags of potato chips everyday, you're proud of it." But when pressed again, he demurred, telling Joy Behar, "No, I'm not going to answer [the question.]

Instead, Armstrong and Hudson are letting their public actions speak volumes. On Sunday the pair took their respective children out for a Father's Day brunch at Frankie's Spuntino in Brooklyn. Earlier in the weekend, they were spotted in Toronto.

"All in the family" may be the best way to sum up how Kate Hudson celebrated Father's Day.

The actress took her son Ryder, 4, to brunch with her new boyfriend Lance Armstrong and his three children – Luke, 8, and twins Isabelle and Grace, 6 – at Frankie’s Spuntino in Brooklyn on Sunday.

The couple was spotted splitting into two cabs for the drive from downtown Manhattan – a boy cab and a girl cab.

Hudson's ex husband, rocker Chris Robinson, also attended the two hour brunch.

Earlier in the weekend, Hudson and Armstrong were spotted in Toronto, for a charity bicycle race.

Kate Hudson Grilled About Lance Armstrong on The View

Originally posted 06/11/2008 03:00PM

She's been spotted out with Lance Armstrong everywhere from Cannes to his hometown of Austin, Texas, but if Kate Hudson is kissing, she isn't telling. During an interview on The View Wednesday, the actress was grilled about her personal life. But even though Barbara Walters was asking the questions, Hudson stayed defiantly mum. "Yeah, I try not to talk about my personal life," she said, while laughing awkwardly. Instead, she shifted the focus to Armstrong himself, telling Walters, "I think somebody told me he was going to be on the show next week. You should ask him [if we're dating.]" Hmmm, think Armstrong will be more forthcoming?

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong may have been spotted together over the past month in getaways as far apart as Texas and France, but the actress doesn't want to talk about that.

Opening up about a relationship "only causes more problems and more words taken out of context," Hudson, 29, told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday. "Everything is always misconstrued."

Kate & Lance Dance and Kiss in Cannes

Originally posted 05/24/2008 01:00PM

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong only had eyes for each other at Dolce & Gabbana's annual party in Cannes Friday.

The pair kissed and danced to old Madonna songs and other '80s favorites. "They were beaming at each other," a source tells PEOPLE. "So cute."

In a VIP room so packed that Petra Nemcova couldn't get in, Hudson and Armstrong chatted briefly with Cannes juror Natalie Portman, who was holding hands with her folk-rocker beau Devendra Banhart. (Unlike all the other female celebrity guests, Portman wore Chanel because she decided to come to the party at the last minute.)

Other guests at the packed party, held at Baoli restaurant and club, included Lindsay Lohan (who made a brief appearance in the briefest of green dresses), Rose McGowan (who partied until 5:30 am, broken foot and all), Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell, Dita von Teese and Diddy.
