Kate Hudson Opens Up About Wanting Her Blended Family to Be 'One Unit' While Raising Her Kids: 'My Priority'
Kate Hudson is opening up about how she navigates her co-parenting relationships. While at the inaugural Newport Beach TV Fest, the Glass Onion actress, 46, spoke about how she intentionally maneuvered her co-parenting relationships to raise her kids as "one unit." Hudson, who is a mother to three, said that she would make "a conscious decision to do things that didn't take me away from my kids for too long." "I have three kids and I have three different dads, and all of them tour, and I made a very conscious decision to do things that didn't take me away from my kids for too long, on top of trying to diversify," she explained. "I like to play the long game and just do different things, so for me it was like I wasn't getting the roles that I wanted to be playing. The ones that I did, I would make some hard decisions and if it took me away for too long, I just couldn't do it because I had to be with my kids and I wanted to make sure that I was the center of my kids' universe and that we had one unit." "That included me going to my exes' tours and being very consciously uncoupled with everybody, and so that was my priority," she continued.

The actress welcomed her first child, Ryder, with her ex-husband Chris Robinson in 2004, followed by her second son, Bingham, whom she shares with her former fiancé Matt Bellamy, in 2011. Hudson's family grew once again in 2018, when she gave birth to her first daughter, Rani, with her fiancé Danny Fujikawa. Hudson previously joked about the fact that each of her kids has a different father during an appearance on Sunday Today with Willie Geist. "I've got multiple dads, I've got kids all over the place," she said with a laugh. She spoke further about her relationship with her kids' three fathers in a November 2022 interview with The Sunday Times. "It might not look traditional from the outside, but on the inside I feel like we're killing it," she said of co-parenting with the three men. "The unit that I've created with three children with three different fathers is a seriously strong unit, and it's ours." is now available in the Apple App Store!

During a 2020 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actress said she was open to having more children. "I don't know if I'm done," she said. "I'm in that place of like, right now, Rani is at that age where you're like, 'I want another baby.' But once she gets like 4 or 5, you're like, 'I feel like my life is kinda back a little bit [and] they're kinda in a groove.' It's weird … it's like a window." Hudson spoke again about the possibility of having more kids during an interview for Byrdie's "After-Dark" digital issue, which was published on Dec. 12, 2022. "I've been having children my entire adult life," she explained. "I've got my 4-year-old and I've got a kid in college. And I don't even know if I'm done yet. You know, I don't have that answer yet."

‘Poker Face' Season 2 Review: Rian Johnson Ups the Chaotic Ante in Peacock's Comforting Howcatchem
Sleuths, by and large, aren't given the luxury of lying low. Worn-down beat detectives are always getting called to the next crime scene. Part-time investigators can't resist a femme fatale's desperate pleas (or ample pocketbook). But even when you set aside their professional obligations, puzzle-solvers usually don't know what to do with themselves when the game is not yet afoot. Typically, gumshoes crack cases by compulsion. Take Rian Johnson's last 'Knives Out' mystery: At the start of 'Glass Onion,' Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) has grown frustrated by the pandemic's stultifying effect on real-world brainteasers. With too much time off (and too much time moping in the tub), he thinks he's going insane. He's tried reading books, he's tried playing games, he's even enlisted help from a few similarly-minded peers (including Angela Lansbury and 'Poker Face' star Natasha Lyonne). But nothing helps. 'The last thing I need is a vacation,' he says. 'I need danger, the hunt, a challenge. I need… a great case.' More from IndieWire How 'Andor' Season 2 Production Design Gives the Empire Its Oppressive Weight 'Poker Face' Season 2: Costume Designing Wicked Looks for Cynthia Erivo's Quintuplets In 'Poker Face' Season 2, Johnson sees this quandary through the looking glass (onion). Lyonne's Charlie Cale has too many cases to solve and too little downtime in between. No matter where her baby blue Plymouth Barracuda takes her, there's another liar, another dead body, and another wrong waiting to be righted. Her situation, like her innate ability to identify a lie, is unique. She's not a cop on assignment. She's not a private eye looking for work. She's happy to make a living picking apples from an orchard or snagging foul balls in the minor leagues. And yet, death haunts Charlie wherever she goes, so it's only natural to wonder: Is her nose for bullshit a blessing or a curse? What a mystery! Resolving this dilemma gives 'Poker Face' Season 2 a sturdy spine, which is especially important since the individual vertebrae (aka the individual episodes) aren't quite as compelling (save, once again, for one true gem). Since we've known Charlie, she's been running. In the first season, she seeks justice for her murdered friend and, as a result of doing the right thing, has to go on the lam. Each week, she's in a new town, working a new gig, caught up in another suspicious story. The lone wolf lifestyle suits Charlie just fine — for a while. Her ebullient personality helps to make friends wherever she goes, but when some of those friends end up dead and the rest have to be left behind when it's time to skip town, well, those losses add up. As Season 2 starts, Charlie's traded one vengeful mob boss for another. She out-maneuvered Sterling Frost, Sr. (Ron Perlman), but after refusing to use her 'gift' to help another crime family, she now has to deal with Beatrix Hasp (Rhea Perlman). Here we go again: Charlie does the right thing, and her reward is a life spent in hiding. For a procedural, starting over is more of a comfort than an annoyance, and the first episode, directed by Johnson, offers numerous pleasures — five of which are all played by Cynthia Erivo! There's also a mini-montage of Charlie trying out odd jobs (and making new friends) before she's chased off by gun-toting mobsters. There's lovely cinematography by director of photography Jaron Presant, and Johnson savors every odd little eccentricity available in the wacky initial investigation. (His ability to reveal key details through playful yet carefully considered camera movements is downright Spielbergian.) Perhaps most importantly, Episode 1 also makes it clear Charlie is enjoying her life as best she can; that is, she's enjoying her life whenever she's not staring death in the face (those mobsters' bullets come awfully close) — a pattern that persists in her subsequent cases. While most of those aren't as satisfying as the first, Charlie always is: Generous and bright, like the long curly locks spilling out from under her various trucker hats, Charlie is an unnatural charmer, her wide smile and gravelly intonation a congenial contradiction that convincingly cultivates curiosity in wherever they're aimed. She makes the most out of her fleeting conversations with strangers, and only the liars among them are ever upset for sharing a few sentences with our affable star. It's a testament to Lyonne's well-honed charisma and attentive performance that Charlie remains the top draw despite an onslaught of shiny guest stars playing distinct characters. Katie Holmes is a delight as a fed-up mortician's wife more than ready to fly the coop. Gaby Hoffman's quick turn from straight-laced Cop of the Year candidate to a feral Florida Woman is batshit fun. Simon Rex settles in nicely as a washed-up pitcher looking to make a little money off losing. Melanie Lynskey and John Cho crackle with chemistry in the season's best episode (of the 10 screened for critics), and Erivo brings the perfect playful pitch to each of her nearly half-dozen characters. Two tweaks to the format help distinguish Season 2's journey from the original run: The first is a notable uptick in chaos — the situations Charlie finds herself in range from psychotic scams ('A New Lease on Death') to absurd send-ups ('One Last Job'), but each episode attempts to ratchet up whatever quirky quality it's working with, including an early entry that nearly goes supernatural ('Last Looks'). The other departure is simpler: Charlie, without crossing into spoilers, gets to come out of hiding. She's free to decide where to go and when, which allows the show to revel in an extended stay later on and serve the season's central conceit: Season 2, by and large, is about accepting who you are, even if living your best life doesn't mean living an easy life. Charlie yearns for enough time to appreciate 'the unobserved pageant of the ordinary,' as she calls the knickknacks filling up random cars, and thus, random lives. A life on the run doesn't allow for much rumination, but neither does a stationary one. Giving Charlie the time to experience both allows her to examine what she really wants, and what she really needs, without deluding herself into thinking things would be different if she wasn't being hounded by mobsters (or, on the flip-side, if she wasn't tied down to any one place or person). She's not like Benoit Blanc, always itching for the next great case to crack; she'd be perfectly happy floating in untroubled waters. She isn't a detective, and she's certainly not a cop; for all the odd jobs she's had, solving mysteries isn't one of them. Charlie is just a person in a unique position to help, so of course she's persistently hounded by people who need it — and lots of people need it! At a time in America when our institutional safety nets are being disbanded and the burden to support each other often comes down to individual efforts, Charlie's struggle feels all the more apt. She wants to help — she just also wishes there was less need for her to do so. And therein lies her salvation. Charlie can't help but love people. She's a people person. Even when she tries to stay out of their lives, she's inevitably drawn in by natural or circumstantial curiosity. Because Charlie thrives around people, so does 'Poker Face.' As a howcatchem procedural, it has to resolve similar issues as its lead: The formula requires a certain amount of repetition, just as the audience demands a new mystery each week. When episodes rely on people to bring them to life — be it famous guest stars, well-realized characters, life-affirming arcs, or all of the above — they're that much easier to enjoy. For the most part, 'Poker Face' Season 2 is quite easy to enjoy. After all, it knows helping people isn't a gift or a curse; it's a calling, and when you realize how fulfilling it can be, the only mystery left to solve is how to help others see the same thing. 'Poker Face' Season 2 premieres Thursday, May 8 on Peacock. Three episodes will be released the first week, then one episode weekly through the finale on July 10.

Daniel Craig returns as Detective Benoit Blanc in the newest Knives Out mystery trailer, and fans can't keep calm; watch
If there's one thing OTT has mastered, it's turning murder mysteries into comfort food. Knives Out — the now-iconic whodunnit series crafted by Rian Johnson — has managed to stay razor-sharp through its clever storytelling, absurdly rich characters, and the ever-charismatic presence of Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc. Now, the long-awaited trailer for the third film, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, has finally dropped, and it's everything fans had hoped for, and then some. This time, Benoit Blanc isn't just solving another murder — he's entering a whole new tone. With a slightly rugged new look and that unmistakable Southern drawl, Craig returns to anchor what appears to be a darker, more gothic entry in the franchise. As always, he's backed by an all-star cast: Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church are all set to appear, adding major star power to this next mystery. The internet, as expected, had a lot to say. Reddit lit up the moment the trailer hit screens, with reactions ranging from hyped to emotional. 'Southern Gothic Knives Out? Fuck yeah I'm in,' declared one user, perfectly summing up the collective mood. Another said, 'I'm happy to see the tonal shift from movie to movie. I wasn't a fan of Glass Onion. It was a little too on the nose for me, but I recognise a lot of people enjoyed it. Hoping to enjoy the third one as much as I did the first — this trailer certainly does much more to appeal to my tastes.' One comment read, 'Love all the previous movies in this franchise; can't wait to see what they do with this one.' Another fan added, 'I'm digging the murder mystery genre lately. Between this and the Brannagh Poirot movies, I have been spoiled.' Still, perhaps the highest praise came from a fan reflecting on Daniel Craig's post-Bond career: 'Daniel Craig could do this series for the rest of his life and I wouldn't complain... love that he's found his niche so quickly after his long stint as 007. I don't think any other James Bond actor has ever found such a compelling franchise after 007 like Craig has, very impressive 👏.' Knives Out began with a simple but delightfully twisted premise: a wealthy crime novelist dies on his 85th birthday, and everyone in the family is a suspect. The 2019 original was both a tribute to Agatha Christie-style mysteries and a clever social satire, earning critical acclaim and box office success. Its sequel, Glass Onion, took Benoit Blanc to a Greek island for a tech billionaire's murder-mystery party that turns fatally real. While some fans found it too on-the-nose, others praised its playful critique of the ultra-rich and clueless. Now, with Wake Up Dead Man, it seems Johnson is once again shifting gears — taking us deeper into darker territory while maintaining the franchise's ridiculously enjoyable plotting. And thank goodness, because murder has never looked so good!

Knives Out 3 trailer hints at possible victim in ‘Wake Up Dead Man' — Here's who might die
A Missing Presence Sparks Suspicion Returning to the Roots of the First Film Live Events Simone Vivane's Death Could Alter Series Dynamics Knives Out 3 Prepares for a Darker Turn FAQs What is Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery about? Why is Cailee Spaeny's character, Simone Vivane, important? (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The recently released trailer for Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third installment in Rian Johnson's acclaimed whodunit series, has generated considerable intrigue, not for what it reveals, but for what it omits. With Daniel Craig returning as detective Benoit Blanc , speculation is already mounting about the identity of the central murder victim. And if early observations from the trailer are any indication, Cailee Spaeny's character, Simone Vivane, may be the one who meets a tragic fate, as mentioned in a report by Knives Out 3 trailer is deliberately sparse in plot details, instead leaning into gothic overtones and a moody atmosphere — a stark shift from the colorful, satirical tone of Glass Onion. But among the familiar faces and stylish shots, one major element appears absent: Cailee Spaeny's Simone the trailer confirms screen time for several key cast members — including Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and Daryl McCormack — Spaeny is notably absent. In fact, the only two cast members who do not visibly appear are Spaeny and Thomas Haden Church, raising questions about their roles in the plot's central on the trailer's structure, Wake Up Dead Man may follow a narrative format closer to the first Knives Out film than to its sequel. In the original movie, a large ensemble cast was introduced only for one character to be killed off early, setting the stage for a layered mystery. Similarly, Spaeny's absence from the promotional footage suggests that her character could be the victim whose death propels the story to this theory is the trailer's brief glimpse of a red-lit silhouette and a lone cellist — figures some speculate could be Simone. If that is indeed Spaeny's character, it could imply that her fate is sealed early in the film, making her the tragic centerpiece of the unfolding possible demise would mark a notable shift in the franchise's approach to its female characters. In the first Knives Out, Ana de Armas' Marta served as the emotional core and active participant in the investigation. Here, however, it seems Benoit Blanc may be partnered instead with Mila Kunis' character, police detective Geraldine Scott, indicating a more conventional law enforcement loss of a young, artistically gifted woman like Simone, especially in a setting hinted to involve religious imagery and potential supernatural elements — would bring emotional weight and thematic depth to Knives Out 3. A church, a possible priest figure, and discussions of miracles all hint at a more symbolic and perhaps morally layered murder than seen in past the mystery deepens, what's clear is that Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is preparing to offer a darker, more emotionally charged chapter in the Benoit Blanc saga. While Rian Johnson remains silent on plot specifics, the trailer's visual cues — and Simone Vivane's absence — are already prompting these early impressions are accurate, Cailee Spaeny's character may serve as the story's tragic catalyst, reinforcing the gothic tone and reaffirming the franchise's commitment to reinventing the murder mystery for a new plot details are under wraps, the trailer suggests a gothic murder mystery featuring Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc, with themes of loss, symbolism, and a darker emotional noticeable absence from the trailer has led to fan theories that she may be the murder victim whose death propels the plot, similar to the first Knives Out film.
