Kate Hudson's son 'obsessed with breasts'

Kate Hudson's four-year-old son is obsessed with her breasts.

The 'Fool's Gold' actress revealed Ryder - her son with ex-husband Chris Robinson - has developed a keen interest in the female body and is always trying to lift up her top.

She told US talk show host Conan O'Brien: "I'm working on getting him off being interested in female parts. He thinks it's hilarious when he pulls off my shirt. He's four years old!"

Kate also admits she has trouble convincing Ryder to cut his long flowing locks as he wants to look like his rocker dad Chris.

She said: "I have managed to give him a haircut, it's just incremental!"

Meanwhile, Kate has yet again refused to comment on her relationship with cycling star Lance Armstrong.
When asked about the alleged romance, Kate said: "Yeah, I try not to talk about my personal life. I think somebody told me he was going to be on this show next week. You should ask him if we're dating."

The blonde beauty - who recently split from lover Owen Wilson - recently said she is happy for people to "speculate" about the relationship, but insisted she will never discuss details of her private life.

She said: "I don't discuss my personal life. It's better to let people speculate as much as they want to speculate. Opening up only causes more problems and more words taken out of context. Everything is always misconstrued."

Coldplay, Pussycat Dolls Set To Perform At MTV Movie Awards

From Jason Bourne to Juno MacGuff, the 2008 MTV Movie Awards are about celebrating the best names in film — but it wouldn't be MTV if some of the biggest names in music didn't get their chance to shine as well.

Set your "Clocks" for June 1, when Coldplay will take the stage live at the Gibson Amphitheater to perform the single "Violet Hill" from their first new album in three years, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. Released April 29, the song was downloaded more than 2 million times from the Coldplay Web site.

Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow (Chris Martin to his friends) and the rest of the band will no doubt be hoping to follow in the footsteps of already-classic MTV Movie Awards performances like the ones from Rihanna and Amy Winehouse at last year's telecast.

They'll have plenty of friendly competition from their fellow performers, the Pussycat Dolls, who will also hit the stage during the irreverent awards show, broadcast live this year on Sunday, June 1. The girls will grab the mic from host Mike Myers to perform "When I Grow Up" from their upcoming second album.

Only time will tell whether Coldplay and PCD will shine brighter than the other mega-watt stars in attendance, particularly those who find themselves vying for the coveted Golden Popcorn. This year, expect to see stars from movies like "Superbad" (which led all films with five nominations) and "Juno" (which came in a close second with four) — not to mention actors from films like "Enchanted," "Transformers," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Knocked Up" which were right behind the leaders with three nominations each.

Fans can vote for their favorites by visiting MovieAwards.MTV.com before voting closes on May 23. Stay tuned for more MTV Movie Awards updates, coming soon!
