Kate Hudson accompanied rumoured boyfriend Lance Armstrong to Canada at the weekend for a charity bike ride. The ‘Fool’s Gold’ actress and the cycling champion - who reportedly began dating last month - travelled to Ontario where Lance was joined by 40 local residents for the 117-kilometre race to help raise over $1 million on Saturday.

The Ride With Lance event was held to benefit cancer research at two hospitals, Grand River Hospital in Kitchener and Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. Before the race, Kate and Lance - who has battled testicular cancer in the past - spent a romantic few days together.

They had a mini vacation in Muskoka where Kate’s mother, Goldie Hawn, has a cabin. On Friday, Kate took her four-year-old son Ryder out for lunch and ice cream in the trendy Toronto Yorkville shopping district and was also spotted with Lance’s children, Luke, eight, and six-year-old twin girls Grace and Isabelle, while he prepared for the race. Later that night, the couple were seen canoodling in the lobby of their hotel. Read more »

Kylie emerges with a new single and dazzling make-over

Kylie Minogue is set to release a brand new single in November - the first since she was diagnosed with breast cancer - and has a dazzling new look to match.

The pop princess has given fans a sneak peek of the cover art set to accompany her new song, titled 2 Hearts.

The image shows the style chameleon covered in a mask of diamantes and lashings of hot pink lipstick while surrounded by butterflies.

The track has been written and produced by Kish Mauve, a London four-piece electro outfit, and will be the first taste of her forthcoming album, which is due for release in November.

The highly anticipated record will be Minogue’s first studio album since 2003’s Body Language, and is expected to feature tracks by Calvin Harris, Scissor Sisters and Groove Armada.

The 32-year-old actress - who lost her mother Marcheline Bertrand to ovarian cancer earlier this year - has pledged her time and support to TV star Fran Drescher’s Cancer Schmancer Movement.

The charity strives to ensure all women’s cancers are diagnosed in Stage 1, when they are most curable.

Fran, 49, told TV show ‘Access Hollywood’: “Angelina’s mother had ovarian cancer and did not win her battle, so she is going to lock elbows with me and we are going to do some things together.

“We are dedicated to ensure that all women’s cancers get diagnosed in Stage 1 by galvanising and educating, then we can change policy by signing petitions.”

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue will become the first woman to receive Britain’s Music Industry Trusts’ Award at a ceremony in London on Oct. 29.

The awards committee called Minogue, a breast cancer survivor whose career in music has spanned 20 years, “one of the great entertainers of all time” and “an icon of pop and style,” the BBC reported Monday.

Minogue, 38, said she was “truly thrilled” about receiving the annual award, which is in 16th year and recognizes a wide range of figures connected to the music industry, including retailers and company executives.

Previous recipients of the award include Sir Elton John and Peter Gabriel.

“As well as being a fantastic evening, this award ceremony also raises much needed funds for The Brit Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, and it is a pleasure for me to be involved,” said Minogue.

Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, who had breast cancer surgery early last year after a breakup with champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, said on Friday she had adopted a 2-week-old baby boy. The Grammy-winning recording star, known for such hits as “All I Wanna Do,” “Soak Up the Sun,” and “If It Makes You Happy,” announced the adoption with a short message to fans posted on her official Web site.

“His name is Wyatt (after my dad) Steven (after my little brother and Scooter) and we are enjoying some very private family time,” she wrote. Scooter is the nickname of her longtime manager and friend, Steven Weintraub.

No other details about her newly adopted son were revealed, but Crow’s publicist said the child was born in the United States.

Crow, 45, postponed a North American concert tour in February of last year to undergo “minimally invasive” surgery for breast cancer. She announced during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in October that she was cancer-free.

The singer’s surgery came about a month after she and seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, himself a cancer survivor, broke off their engagement, ending a high-profile two-year relationship.

Mischa Barton has something else to do besides acting. The movie beauty is the latest star to be the face of a health campaign which warns against the dangers of too much exposure to the sun.

The actress has been tapped to front the skin awareness for everyone (Safe) campaign, launched by the Institute of Cancer Research and high-street chain Superdrug.

“I spend a lot of my life in the sun and know how important it is to be sun aware and protect your skin,” Mischa said. “I hope that my support of Superdrug’s important campaign will ensure everyone stays safe in the sun this summer whether at home, on holiday or even on the beaches of California.”

Concerning her new duty, Mischa is about to pose for in-store posters and stress the need for protecting skin from sunlight, which can cause skin cancer. (Aceshowbiz)
