A-Rod as Centaur? Kate Hudson Says That's Crazy Talk
Does
Alex Rodriguez keep a portrait of himself as a centaur above his bed?
Kate Hudson, the slugger's girlfriend and one of the few persons in this world who could answer that question, has laughed off the rumor as "horrible" and "the craziest thing anyone has ever asked me."
MTV News sat down with the actress to discuss 'Nine,' but pivoted the interview to talk centaurs and whether there was any validity to
Us Weekly's report that A-Rod commissions artists to make him into a half-man, half-horse creature.
"I would never indulge in something so ridiculous. That's ... no, I don't indulge in those types of stories," she continued, "As humorous as you might think they are."
Us claimed to have a first-hand account of the portraits. An ex-girlfriend revealed there were "not one, but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur" in his bedroom, adding "It was ridiculous."
Shhhh. A Quiet Courtship for Two Huge Stars
Though she isn't afraid to appear in public with her man -- or cheer him on at Yankee games -- Hudson has gone to great lengths not to discuss details of their relationship.
However, Hudson revealed at a taping of 'Inside the Actors Studio' on Tuesday that she met A-Rod "years ago through a mutual friend." After marriages for both fizzled, and boyfriends and Madonnas came and went, the pair reportedly got together some time in the past year.
They were first photographed together in early July in Beverly Hills, the Daily News reported, but their courtship wasn't officially confirmed until July 25 when she and Rodriguez locked lips during a Yankee family picnic event.

Hudson says she has no choice but to try and keep her relationship out of the spotlight.
"The tabloid culture is insane," she said on Tuesday when asked by 'Studio' boss James Lipton, "You can't even get a sandwich without being engaged!"
Asked if she was at least having fun with her new boyfriend, she responded with a big "Yes!"
Much has been said or written (by us
here and
here) about the impact Hudson has had on A-Rod's prowess at the plate. When he was dating Madonna last year, A-Rod struggled at the plate and the Yankees failed to even make the playoffs. With Hudson, however, his power surge thrilled fans accustomed to his October failings and helped propel the Yanks to a World Series win.
"She's certainly not hurting his game," Jesse Derris of Sunshine of Sachs & Associates, which has a fast-growing sports practice, told us. "Hell, the Yankees should retire her number if he keeps hitting in the clutch."
Rodriguez divorced ex-wife Cynthia last fall, while Hudson split from Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson (with whom she has a son, Ryder) in 2007.

If A-Rod was A-rod the carwash emloyee rather than a base ball star, do you think she would be interested in him then?

They are perfect for each other: BOTH are overated in terms of looks and talent (Hudson acts like she's a piece of Dead Wood and owes ALL her Hollywood breaks to nepotism). Her face is average at best and her cover as sexiest woman alive a couple years ago is testament to the fact that Hollywood is all smoke and mirrors (next they will tell us that 2 + 2 = 5). A-Rod - well just check out a sports page to get the full story on his averageness. And do young teen girls dream about this dudes ugly mug? Nah. So who gives a rats ass? Isnt A-Rod Madonna's sloppy second? UGH.

Perhaps you should " get a life ".

Who is Kate Hudson? Never saw her. Who is A-Ron? An unknown actor in this area.

I've lost all respect for her as well. She used to be so cutesy and maybe she's trying to shake that image, but she's sort of trashy. By the way, doesn't she have a small child with her ex-hub? Running around a lot for a single mother, eh.

Wasn't it just MADONNA? I can't keep up with this s**t. After watching him during the World Series, hold one finger to one nostril and blow a big one several feet out the other I can't see sitting down to Thanksgiving Dinner with him.

Just another white woman who rejects her own inferior race to have a Strong Man of Color. America and in europe is seeing the white race being bred out of existence. White woman travel all over the world to adopt a baby of color rather than get a lilly white baby here. we are breeding out you white devils. White kids want to be black, they listen out music, they want to dreses like us, not to mention try to talk black. Whatever that means. Just look at all the white devils who voted for a Strong Black man to lead us. No one wants a white man for anything.

just another white skank taking up with a brother. no white guy wants that slop
Are you one of those "brothers" that trys to convince US how cool it is to be a Negroid while desperately trying to "date" outside of your own Race? Negroids don't have to worry about others discriminating against them, they want nothing with their own Race! I have no problem with Caucasian Women making the choice to be with Negroids, emjoy the Negroid life! I believe that by losing our low skanks the Caucasian Race is improved.
Kate likes his A ROD. HEHE
