Michael Lohan, 2.0?
Kate Hudson's biological father Bill Hudson has long been removed from her life, and the actress and new mom considers Goldie Hawn's longtime love Kurt Russell to be her dad. But now, the musician, 61, is coming out of the woodworks to bash his famous daughter -- and his ex-wife -- in a tell-all memoir.

"Life in the spotlight is not without its consequences, and the Hudson family was no exception," the book's website says. "After [his divorce from Hawn in 1980], Bill found himself in the middle of the controversial issue of parental alienation. His rights as a father to see his children were often played out in the media because Oliver and Kate became actors themselves." (Kate's brother Oliver Hudson, 35, currently stars in Rules of Engagement.)

Bill hasn't held back his contempt for his 32-year-old daughter. "Kate doesn't have to talk to me, and she doesn't have to give [me] a dime of her millions," he told RadarOnline.com. "All I want is for her to call [her grandmother who is battling Alzheimer's disease] and say,'Hi grandma,' before it's too late."
"I love Kate, but... she had done stuff which is just awful," he continued. "She is a spoiled brat in my eyes and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother."

Kate and fiance Matt Bellamy welcomed son Bingham "Bing" Hawn Bellamy in June. She also has a 7-year-old son, Ryder, from her relationship with ex-husband Chris Robinson.
Tell Us What You Think
28i think she should see her grandmother before it too late
wow some of these comments have my chin on the floor!! to the rude beeotch dissing the girl she doesnt know, are you like best friends with Mr Hudson or something? wow! and i would hide my face behind that ugly dog too if i was as ignorant as u! geesh
Isn't it funny how he says she doesn't have to give him any of her money but she needs to help her grandmother. Why? I think if people are trully over their own past they don't say things like this to keep hurting anyone. Get over it Bill and move on apparently Goldie and her children did already.
I agree with Karen Martin...very well said ;) NONE of us know what is going on, so SOME people need to stop acting like they know them personally. We can only go by what we hear/see, comment on what your opinion is on the situation (almost everybody did). Karen compared her feelings on a similiar situation that has happened to her. There is no reason for some people to "attack" someone else on here, very immature. @Karen Martin, you sound like a very mature young lady, and good luck in medical school!
I never liked Goldie Hawn and when she and Bill got divorced, she brainwashed their children against him. Goldie is a control freak and Bill found out she was cheating on him while making a movie and showed no remorse at all, that's why she never married Kurt, she's a free "spirit". Kate and Oliver will be sorry if they don't get in touch with their Grandmother, who loved them very much. Shame on them. GROW UP Kate and Oliver. Bill, I can't wait to read your book. Good Luck
I can understand Kate walking away from Bill Hudson but I cannot fathom why she'd show such disregard for her grandmother or her half sister.
That tell all memoir is not a good way to get Kate and Oliver to start a loving relationship with their biological father. Seems to me that money is the motivating factor and unfortunately, our family members can't be trusted to be loyal and not try to capitalize on their children's success.
@Kim Greene, perhaps YOU shouldn't comment on a situation when you have no clue what happened. i tried to reach out to my dad once when i was 12 and i asked my mom if i could see him (and not that it's any of your business, but she never said one bad thing about him to me), he met me up once and then didn't talk to me again until this past year. get a life, it's fine for you to comment on this article just like everyone else, but you don't comment towards me, and act like you know more about my situation then i do. i'm not bitter about my life in the least, i had a great parents and a supportive family, i had a wonderful childhood, and now i'm engaged to a great guy, and clearly i never needed that man to have a good life because now i'm only 21 years old, and going to med school in the fall without his help. i wouldn't change my "situation" for anything else in the world. i wouldn't read his book because i wouldn't put money in the pocket of a man who can't even raise his own child. if he really wanted to be in their lives he could have, i have a cousin who got a divorce from his wife and she tried to keep him from their son, but he cared enough to fight for his right as a father, and he took his wife to court to petition for shared custody and visitation rights, and guess what? it took 2 months, but he got visitation rights and he got joint custody. fathers have rights
NO, HE DOESN'T WANT HER MILLIONS, NOT MUCH! WHAT A SLIME FOR A FATHER, NO WONDER SHE AVOIDS HIM.
Making a point of calling her a brat now, as a mother in her 30s when he's never been a Father to her is ridiculous. Famous or not, no one outside a family can ever really grasp all involved, as it is usually just TOO MUCH. So much that when it has gone of for so long, some relationships just can't be repaired. He needs to get over his anger, mind is own business and stop begging for attention by making mean, hurtful comments.
it takes a donation of sperm to make a baby and become a father.... it takes A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN THAT TO BE A DAD!!!! take it from someone who has NEVER met her father and is 38... i bet he'd "appear" in my life if i made money too!! shame on you mr hudson, regardless of what your ex wife did or did not do, it was and still is up to you to be a dad to your daughter...
Hey Karen, you are so ignorant of the situation you shouldn't comment. But parental alienation is a big issue. You might ask your mom if she ever deliberately kept you from your Dad - she won't fess up and guess what?? Neither did Goldie. It's okay for the mom to badmouth dad..but if Dad speaks up he's a victim? You are such a cliche female its really sad. You are so ignorant - now that Kate Hudson is rich and famous?? She's always been famous by virtue of her mother...she can't carry a movie anymore so she'd better cling to the $$$ she's made so far. Oliver is not less rich or less famous than his sister. He is a child of the great Goldie Hawn, the same woman who badmouthed Bill Hudson all over Malibu when he divorced her. Karen, have you read the book? Do you know if he mentions Oliver?? Or are you faulting him for the way/angle Us decided to take on the story. I mean less people would click on it if they announced Bill Hudson calls Oliver Hudson a spoiled brat. I'm sorry but making a child does make you a father...making a child doesn't make you the center of the universe. Goldie didn't understand that and treated Bill Hudson horribly. Its chicks like you that are so bitter about their own lives they don't understand situations can actually be different. That is sad.
please. he hasn't done anything for her, and now that she's rich and famous, he wants to play this sad victim who "only wants her to help her grandmother." funny how he only brings her up, and not her less famous and less rich son. yeah right, this same thing happened to me, my biological father left, and i was raised by my mom and "stepfather" who i consider to be my dad. my biological father never tried to contact me until this year when he found out i got an acceptance letter to med school, but i would never care to meet him or his family, because simply making a child doesn't make you a father
she is a b itch just like kim , congrats on your bouncing baby bast ard
Salem: I feel the same. I can see her being a total beyotch...but I think Goldie really did a number on them growing up. So wrong. And yes, Kurt (though I am sure he loved being the favored male figurehead) really should have been a bigger man and encouraged them to forge even just a basic, civil discourse between everyone. None of us know what went on obviously, it's all assumption, but I find it odd that Bill Hudson has been trying to see his kids since they were grade school age and they just refused on their own?? Doubtful.
He had nothing to do with her for all of these years and suddenly he wants her to "help" her grandmother. Bill is a a piece of crap who needs to get a job and take care of his mother himself!
I am in agreement with the dad on this one. It's true Mr Hudson was away a lot with his band the first couple years of the kids' lives but that was no excuse for Goldie to shut her kids out of their father's life. Much of the blame falls to Goldie who had a responsibility to NOT portray him in a bad light. He has been trying to make amends for decades...for basically being absent during a time period where the kids memories are at their vaguest anyway. I think it's great Goldie found a soul mate in Kurt but, really, both she and Kurt should have allowed the kids to bond with their father. I think Goldie is one warped woman in this regard. As much as she may hate Mr Hudson or whatever, she had no right to turn the kids against their dad...and believe me, she had to have. There is no way kids just grow up hatiing their father when he isn't even allowed to see them. Shame on Goldie (and Kurt for being complicit and not saying boo to Goldie) about it.
Give me a break. And why is he only bashing Kate and not Oliver too?
Oh Yeah, what a better place to call a his daughter a spoiled brat than from the safety and anonymous of a book that few if anyone will read, a real profile in courage considering that he thinks he knows a lot about his daughter in the absence of her presence. I guess he is upset that he could not get fame or fortune in exploiting his daughters celebrity. Kate does not owe this wanabe exploiter and absent father a thing.
What a creep! Bashing your daughter and calling her names is childish and isn't going to make her do what you want, dude. Being the sperm donor doesn't make you a father or your other blood relations family. Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn did a wonderful job raising those kids and this guy is just very bitter.
