Kate Hudson, You Are Getting on My Last Good Nerve

Kate Hudson was already at the top of my shitlist for starring in the upcoming heap of execrable misogybaggery Bride Wars (for which she pocketed $10.8 million, btw), but she's managed to aggravate me even further:
"I'm actually enjoying being single right now because I really never have been," Hudson – who's dated Lance Armstrong and Owen Wilson – tells InStyle magazine for its January issue.

"I feel good in relationships," says the 29-year-old actress. "I enjoy them, so I feel my best when I'm in something solid. But it's also the first time I've ever taken a step back and gotten a new perspective."

"So," concludes Hudson, "I've made a conscious decision to try to stay single as long as possible."
Kate, this is America and you're a multi-millionaire. It's possible for you to stay single for the rest of your life.

Legally, you will never be forced to marry someone against your will, unlike millions of women around the world.

Financially, you will never be forced to partner with someone to make sure that you and your child have something to eat and a place to rest your heads, unlike millions of women around the world.

Emotionally, you can use your substantial resources to secure the assistance of psychological health professionals if you really can't stop yourself from getting into a relationship, unlike millions of women around the world.

Do I sound like I'm picking fights over semantics? Tough. It isn't semantics to her.

Try to be a little responsible with your privilege, willya?
