Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson: Big Smiles in the Big Apple

Like Lance Armstrong on a bicycle, you can’t stop this cancer survivor from dating Kate Hudson.

You can scarcely even contain him!

The new couple, christened “Hudstrong” by those in the business of nicknaming celebrity couples, were spotted again yet again in New York last night.

What do you think of this pairing? Will they make it?

Going Hudstrong

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson are spending more time together than Britney Spears and her kids. A lot more time.

Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong: Caught Canoodling!

Over the weekend, we reported that Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson were spotted smooching at a party in Cannes. We couldn’t provide visual evidence of the trip to first base between this new couple, however.

Fortunately, our celebrity gossip photographer refused to rest until they could prove that the actress was  and cyclist were enjoying a romantic Tour de Lance together.

With that in mind, here’s a shot of Hudson and Armstrong in Monaco yesterday. The cozy couple arrived in the city for the Formula 1 Grand Prix and hopped aboard a boat, nary a care in the world except for each other…

Turn away, Owen Wilson. Kate Hudson really is dating Lance Armstrong.

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson: Spotted Smooching!

What kissing couple could knock Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson off the front page of celebrity gossip tabloids?

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson, who were spotted making out and dancing at the Dolce & Gabbana party at the Baoli Club in Cannes on Friday.

“They were just really into each other,” a witness told Us Weekly. “They would look at each other in the eyes and then kiss on the lips.”

Hudson and Armstrong were first spotted together publicly May 15 at New York City’s Wildwood Barbeque following a Kid Rock concert.

“They seemed like they were having a great time,” said a source.

So, what do you think of this new couple? Is there a better nickname for them than Hudstrong?

Spotted: Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong!

At this rate, Lance Armstrong will have as many celebrity girlfriends as Tour de France titles.

The famous cyclist and cancer survivor looks to be adding to his Hollywood tit tote board (which already includes Sheryl Crow and Ashley Olsen) with Kate Hudson. The pair were spotted having dinner together in Austin on Friday and Saturday night.

For a pair of serial daters (Hudson has been linked in the past with Dax Sheperd and Owen Wilson), you’d think these two would eat breakfast together instead. No? Is this thing on?

Possible new couple alert: Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong.

Anyway, the athlete and the actress first dined at Eddie V’s on Friday, a high-end Texas restaurant frequented by Armstrong, according to a restaurant insider.

“They came in [Friday] and had dinner together, it’s true,” a source confirmed to People.

The following night, Hudson and Armstrong ate at Hula Hut with Lance’s three children and a group of friends.

“They came in with the kids and a large group of people,” said another witness. “They ordered dinner – tacos, burgers and fries and that sort of stuff.”

Is it too soon to name this couple? What does everyone think of “Hudstrong?” We can see the bracelets now.

Ashley Who? Lance Armstrong Dating Kim Strother

Kim Strother, Lance ArmstrongLance Armstrong has recently been spending time with many babes, some of them famous and anemic. But his most frequent conquest came as something of a surprise.

At a recent NASCAR Nextel Party at New York City hot spot Marquee, OK! Magazine spies spotted Lance Armstrong and Kim Strother getting awfully cozy.

Kim Strother is a 30-something fitness model with the Ford Agency, sources report, and according to onlookers, the cute couple was more than friendly.

“[Lance Armstrong and Kim Strother] were all over each other in Marquee sitting in the banquette,” one person at the party reveals.

“They were completely into each other the whole time. I didn’t see them kissing, but she was sitting on his lap at one point and being very affectionate.”

It is believed that the seven-time Tour de France winer and Kim Strother, who some say bears a strong resemblance to two of Lance’s recent ex-girlfriends — Sheryl Crow and Tory Burch — exited the club together around 3:45 a.m.

Kim Strother doesn’t much resemble his most recent plaything, Ashley Olsen. We are guessing that Kim eats, making such a comparison pretty impossible.

Lance Armstrong: Ashley Olsen is Just a Friend

Trying to quell the recent rash of hot, strange dating rumors surrounding him, Lance Armstrong is now denying that he and Ashley Olsen are an item.

“Ashley Olsen and I are strictly friends,” he told the New York Post. “We have hung out amongst other friends, and she strikes me as a nice, smart lady.”

Lance and Ashley

The actions of Lance and Ashley paint a different picture, however.

As we reported last week, the odd pair — 36 and 21, respectively — both booked rooms at the luxe NYC hotel SoHo House and dined a deux at NYC’s Waverly Hill after taking in the Broadway play Young Frankenstein October 29.

Meanwhile, Lance Armstrong’s ex, Sheryl Crow is trying to debunk Life & Style’s claim that she was disgusted by the May-December romance.

The tabloid said that when asked about the Ashley Olsen-Lance Armstrong fling, “Sheryl rolled her eyes and said, ‘That’s pathetic. Ashley’s a kid.’”

But Sheryl Crow, 45, blogged: “Lance and I are friends. I have a lot of respect for him and what he does in the world of cancer. What he does in his personal life … it is none of my business. Nor would I ever comment on it.”

Does this mean Ashley Olsen and Lance really aren’t hittin’ it? Sad. Here’s hoping Mary-Kate Olsen and Stavros Niarchos are still hot and heavy.

“Bring Ashley Olsen to School Day” For Lance’s Daughter

Radar Magazine says that one of Lance Armstrong’s six-year-old twin daughters recently brought Ashley Olsen to “show and tell.” Yes, the little girl showed off daddy’s strange new girlfriend at her Texas elementary school.

A source said that apparently, “celebrities do this all time.”

In fact, when Lance Armstrong was dating fashion designer Tory Burch, her son brought him to show and tell at his Upper East Side Manhattan school.

Ashley Olsen: Show and tell material?

In related news, an intern at The Hollywood Gossip recently found a mangy meth addict strung out and huddled on the street, experiencing “the shakes.” So he brought her to our annual “show and tell” day at work. Turns out it was Britney Spears!

Just kidding. But totally believable, no?

Regardless, it looks like Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen are really hitting it. At least we’re more sure of that rumors of Mary-Kate Olsen dating Sean Avery and/or Stavros Niarchos. Not sure what the hell is going on with Mary-Kate.

Ashley Olsen, Lance Armstrong Shack Up at N.Y. Hotel

After riding to victory over cancer and to seven consecutive Tour de France titles, Lance Armstrong has now moved on to Ashley Olsen.

The new couple was spotted at New York hotspot Rose Bar on October 29 by an eyewitness who tells Us Weekly, “they were being very flirtatious.”

The next night, the odd duo took in play Young Frankenstein. Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen then enjoyed dinner and wine at the Waverly Inn.

And while Lance Armstrong was preparing to run in last Sunday’s New York City Marathon, the lovebirds shacked up at luxe hotel Soho House, where they both had booked rooms. Sounds like a full house… of love!

Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen

Sources tell Us Weekly, however, that 21-year-old Ashley Olsen shouldn’t let herself get swept away by the whirlwind Big Apple romance.

“Lance is a candidate for a midlife crisis,” says an unnamed source, who the magazine says is close to the divorced father of three.

Why, because he’s in his mid-life? Or because he recently broke up with fashion designer Tory Burch and singer Sheryl Crow, to whom he was engaged?

“Next week, he’ll be on to someone else,” another insider says.

Maybe Mary-Kate Olsen? That would make for some interesting drama… not just between the twins, but between Lance Armstrong and Sean Avery.

Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen: Hitting it Again!

Much like his Texas friend Owen Wilson and Jessica Simpson, Lance Armstrong is apparently getting close with a famous blonde that we never saw coming.

Yes, Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen were spotted again Wednesday.

The seven-time Tour de France champ and the waifish Full House actress have have met up at least twice in the past week while the former is in town for the New York Marathon, numerous news sources have reported.

Lance and Ashley first shared a special moment Monday night, getting close at the Rose Bar inside Manhattan’s Gramercy Park Hotel. Their evening rendezvous was well documented in New York’s newspapers on Wednesday.

Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen, take two… really?

An observer tells People: “Lance was hanging with her, definitely. [Ashley Olsen] was very flirtatious, and was sitting on his lap.”

Another source confirmed that Ashley Olsen was with a group that included Lance Armstrong and was just “hanging out, having a good time.”

Armstrong, 36, and Olsen, 21, reunited again in the wee hours Wednesday at the Waverly Inn. Armstrong was seen there earlier that evening with Owen Wilson.

The retired cyclist and fashion designer Tory Burch recently broke up after a year-long relationship. A rep for Armstrong had no comment on Olsen.

Strange Couple Alert: Lance Armstrong & Ashley Olsen

Former child star and waif Ashley Olsen reportedly has a new, older man.

While we would normally take celebrity gossip reported by the New York Post or the New York Daily News with a grain of salt, when they’re both reporting a story… you’ve got to at least reduce the size of that grain of salt.

The 21-year-old anorexic twin and bad dresser showed up to the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel Monday night with … Lance Armstrong! A Post spy said:

“They came together with a group of friends. Ashley Olsen drank red wine, sat on his lap and was making out with him all night. They left together around 2 a.m.”

Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong: Hitting it off? 

Said a separate New York Daily News spy: “Ashley and Lance settled in and within minutes, he was whispering in her ear and she was giggling like a schoolgirl. They totally looked like they were on a date.”

Sources say Lance Armstrong has been spending more time in New York City since he bought a home there recently. Another source said, “He tried to make [ex] Tory [Burch] happy when they were dating by buying a place here, but she couldn’t deal with him not actually living in the same city, so they broke up.”

Maybe the lesser-known of The Olsen Twins just wanted some tips on how to wear spandex well. Who knows. Also on hand? A sober Owen Wilson. Who knew!
