No other Netflix show gets breathless ratings reporting other than whatever the Duke and Duchess of Sussex produce. Recently, I binge-watched the docuseries Court of Gold on Netflix, and I?m sure it made Netflix?s top-ten, but I didn?t see much chatter about the ratings or how many hours people watched or whatever. There?s only this kind of fevered mainstream reporting when it involves the Duchess of Sussex specifically. Well, in any case, With Love, Meghan is a hit. It?s a hit globally, its a hit in America and an even bigger hit in the UK. LMAO.
Meghan Markles lifestyle series With Love, Meghan premiered on Netflix last week, and the viewership numbers are in.
As of March 12, the Duchess of Sussexs show ranked tenth on Netflixs global Top 10 Shows Overview list. According to the streamer, With Love, Meghan has amassed 2.6 million views and 12.6 million hours watched since its debut on Tuesday, March 4.
More specifically, With Love, Meghan ranks seventh on Netflixs Top 10 Shows chart in the United Kingdom and tenth on the platform?s Top 10 list in the United States.
Season two of With Love, Meghan has already been filmed and will hit Netflix queues this fall. Michael Steed returned as director for the second season, as the first season of the Duchess of Sussex?s show premiered at number six on Netflix?s U.S. Top 10.
Meghan, 43, is in good company on the charts as her friend and With Love guest Mindy Kaling also has something to celebrate. Kalings basketball comedy Running Point, starring Kate Hudson, is ranked number one on both the global and U.S. lists. The series premiered on Feb. 27 and imagines Hudson as an overlooked executive whos unexpectedly named president of her familys sports franchise.

I?m so happy for Mindy that she has another hit show with Running Point Mindy has turned into one of THE top television showrunners/writers/producers out there. As for WLM? making the Netflix Global Top Ten is no joke. Being one of the top-ten most-watched shows in the UK and US is no small thing, especially for cooking/lifestyle programming. I?ve said from the start that Netflix would have supported WLM even if the viewership was initially low, just because WLM is so inexpensive to produce. But now it?s inexpensive to produce AND it?s a hit show? LOL.
In case you?re wondering, the 2022 Harry & Meghan docuseries made it into Netflix?s top-three (I believe it topped out at #2, behind Wednesday) within days of its release, and people watched 81.6 million hours in three days. Tom Sykes at the Daily Beast is gloating about how WLM ?barely? made it into the top-ten, but this is looking like long-delayed justice for the success of the H&M series, after the British media spent years mocking that series as nothing special. Like, wow, people really watched the fk out of the 2022 series, huh? It will be the same for WLM long-term people will keep coming back to WLM to chill out, and there will be word-of-mouth viewers too, especially among the mom-set.

Mindy Kaling and Kate Hudson have both been everywhere in the past two weeks, hustling for their Netflix show, Running Point. Running Point is already a hit on Netflix too, just like With Love, Meghan. Both shows are in the top-ten. Mindy is the executive producer and showrunner on Running Point, which is loosely based on Jeanie Buss, president of the LA Lakers organization. Kate Hudson stars as the ?Jeanie Buss-esque? character.
Well, Mindy has been all over the gossip pages this week? but not because of Running Point. It?s because of her one-episode appearance on With Love, Meghan. In that episode which was filmed spring Mindy refers to Meg as ?Meghan Markle? and Meghan corrected her, saying in part ?I?m Sussex now.? As I?ve said this week, the REACTION to that one moment has been fascinating. I had a big ?aha moment? as I watched the British royalists react to it and it ended up being a confirmation (to me) about what was behind all of those ?bullying accusations.? Meghan would correct someone or state a preference plainly, and those Salt Islanders would lose their damn minds and create convoluted melodramas about how Meghan had bullied them or shamed them or made them cry in a coat closet. In any case, Mindy was on The View on Thursday and she was asked about that WLM moment.
Mindy Kaling has weighed in on the social media conversation about her appearance on Meghan Markle?s new Netflix show. The ?Sex Lives of College Girls? creator, 45, appeared on Thursday?s episode of ?The View? to discuss her new show ?Running Point,? when co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin asked what her experience was like cooking and hanging out with Meghan, 43, on the duchess? cooking and lifestyle series, ?With Love, Meghan.?
?You know, I had a great time,? she began before alluding to social media chatter about an exchange she had with Meghan over the duchess? last name (it?s ?Sussex? not ?Markle?).

Kate Hudson is currently starring in a Netflix series called Running Point. Kate plays Isla Gordon, a reformed party girl in her 30s who has to prove herself when she gets put in charge of her family?s professional basketball team, the Los Angeles Waves. It?s a Mindy Kaling series (she?s one of three co-creators) that was inspired by the LA Lakers president and controlling owner, Janie Buss. Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, Justin Theroux, Max Greenfield, and Jay Ellis are also in it.
Kate recently sat down with Bustle to talk about Running Point, family, her life philosophy and more. Now 45, Kate is such a free spirit that she?ll flirt with anyone. Thankfully, her fianc, Danny Fujikawa, is A-OK with it! It?s a lengthy interview and you can check out the full piece here. Here are some of the highlights:
Running Point is full of hotties: [W]orking on Running Point was like feasting at a heartthrob buffet. There was Max Greenfield at peak Nice Jewish Boy, Jay Ellis still sporting his Top Gun: Maverick abs, and Justin Theroux doing his best Hunter Biden (complimentary) as a dirtbag scion. ?I was like, ?What a dream! We have so many beautiful men to work with every day!?? Hudson tells me so enthusiastically it sounds like she might drop a hubba hubba. A relative newcomer, actor Toby Sandeman, made her full-on weak in the knees. ?I remember there?s a scene where he comes in in this white suit, and he actually took my breath away. I literally was like, ?Hi.??
She?ll flirt with anybody: ?I?m the biggest flirt on the planet. So I think anybody who?s ever been with me is very aware that I flirt with everybody ? girls, boys,? she says matter of factly. Her fianc, musician Danny Fujikawa, with whom she has daughter Rani, has learned to roll with it since they first met decades ago as friends. (Hudson also has a son with The Black Crowes? Chris Robinson and another son with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy.) ?Thank God Danny is my partner. He can handle this. I met the right guy.
Covid made her realize her need to be creative: ?In COVID, I realized that my creativity had been shut off for a long time. In those moments of fear, I was like, ?I?m not putting out what I want to be totally putting out right now.? Music was the big flashing red light for me,? she says of her debut pop-rock album, Glorious, which dropped last spring. (Entering the music industry in your 40s? That also takes guts.) ?I?m very clear about the things that I really want to be doing now in my life. Whether it?s good, whether it?s bad, I know how my machine wants to function.?
On parenting: ?As a parent, you want your kids to love themselves. You want them to know what the core of who they are is and to honor it, to love it, and to love themselves.? Sometimes parenting, however, means tough love. For example, she?s made sure her son Ryder is well aware of what will be required of him if he moves home after college. ?Hes like, ?I got to figure out what my life is going to look like and how I?m going to achieve the things that I want to achieve and how I can live. I think you should be teaching your kids those things way earlier on so that when they get to that point, they?re not like, ?Oh my God, how do I afford my life and not lean on my family???
On sex in your 40s: ?The best part about sex in your 40s, honestly, is the freedom. Sex isn?t supposed to be pretty. When you get older you kind of have more fun with that.?
She faces discomfort head-on: ?God, you?d be a sociopath if you just had the confidence to walk into anything or be fearless in everything,? she says. It?s just that, in those moments, she doesn?t try to shy away from discomfort. Hudson?s super power lies in her ability to take everything life throws her way in stride. ?Everybody?s different in what your challenges are,? she says, shaking her head playfully. ?We say challenges, not weaknesses ? even though they feel like weakness sometimes.?
Aries just wanna have fun: ?Let?s be honest, I?m a star sign person. I?m an Aries, and we?re the people that if you want to go have a good time, you?re like, ?Hey, are you down?? We?re like, ?Yes,?? Hudson says, grinning. Especially if, say, a locker room?s worth of men and their bulging biceps are what?s on the menu. ?I mean, on this set I was like, ?How lucky am I? This is not difficult.??
[From Bustle]
The whole interview is a vibe. Kate definitely gives off that force-of-nature energy. She?s so outgoing and seems like she?d be a fun person to hang out with. I have no trouble believing that she?s the kind of person who laughs in the face of discomfort and takes things in stride. I love what she has to say about realizing during Covid that her creativity had been shut off. I think that a lot of people used that time to explore personal or creative projects.
I also have no trouble believing that Kate?s a naturally flirty person who flirts with everyone she meets. It?s probably part of her rizz. I like that she put it out there about having more ?fun? with sex as you get older, I think that applies to so many things! I wish that someone had told me in my mid-20s not to worry so much about certain things because they don?t ?have? to be a certain way. It really is quite freeing.

If you told me Kate Hudson did an album ten years ago and it faded into obscurity I would believe you. Shes just someone who has her finger in a lot of pies, like Fabletics, a vodka brand and a supplement line. Shes said Im an Aries. I get bored. I gotta keep moving, which might explain her latest foray into music. Kate has released a single co-written with venerable multi-Oscar nominated Linda Perry and Kates fiance, musician Danny Fujikawa. Its called Talk about Love and its very mid, for lack of a better word. First heres People Magazines writeup about it. In her press release for the song, Kate said I wanted it to be something delicious and sexy and all the things that I believe in.
Kate Hudson?s debut single has landed!
The actress-turned-singer?s first song ?Talk About Love? has finally dropped after weeks of anticipation from fans, providing a burst of blended rock/pop sounds for listeners to enjoy.
In the song ? co-written with Linda Perry and Hudsons fianc Danny Fujikawa ? the actress, 44, celebrates having a love connection at the deepest level possible while belting out vocals over columns of synth, guitars and a jumping rhythm track guaranteed to raise the mood.
?You only have one first single,? Hudson said of her musical debut in a press release. ?And I wanted it to be something delicious and sexy and all the things that I believe in.?
?I wanted it to be open and seeking, searching to find something powerful. But I also wanted the music to be the rock, the pop, the dance music and even a bit of the alternative records I love,? she continued. ?It was a lot to put into one song, but thankfully, I had some wonderful people working with me. And so, here we are!?
Hudson worked independently with producer Johan Carlsson and Fujikawa to form a fresh sound for the song that also felt natural to her. The collaboration developed into the makings of an album which the actress has teased will be released later this year.

This single, which is below, isnt bad. I like the retro vibe, but its like a theme song on a CW show. Its budget Lady Gaga without the soul or variety. The refrain is OK and it grew on me I just dont find it memorable or catchy. Good for Kate for doing music if she wants though. There are so many other musicians who are doing complex, nuanced and haunting music who dont get much attention at all. Im thinking specifically of Chadwick Bosemans widow, Simone Ledward Boseman, who sings as sahn. Her music is phenomenal and some of her videos on YouTube have less than 2,000 views. Shes in a different genre and she does slower jams but they just have so much heart. Id love it if she got wider recognition. As for Kate, sometimes celebrities dabble in things they want to do rather than things theyre passionate about and it shows.
Heres that single from Kate.

It seems like Kate Hudson is reflecting a lot on her career lately. The past few things Ive read about her have been about her thoughts on nepotism, and her famous roles, interspersed with stuff about her upcoming, but still unplanned wedding. Kate recently appeared on Kelly Ripas podcast (everyone has a podcast) and talked about getting a lot of media attention early in her career and how it affected her self-image and love life.
Kate Hudson is getting real about life in the limelight.
During an appearance on the Lets Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast, Hudson reflected on garnering so much media attention in the earlier days of her career.
When I got really famous, there was so many lies, said the Glass Onion actress, 43. It was so weird because in my mind it felt so unjust, like this is unfair.
Opening up about her experience, Hudson continued, They were so mean to women. I mean, the body-shaming from being too skinny to too fat to then going up your skirt and the cellulite.
The star added that her celebrity status also impacted her love life.
I couldnt speak to a man without being partnered with him. I couldnt sit and say hello to someone, she said. There was so much of it at such a rate that I couldnt in any way comprehend that I just realized I need to figure out how to not care about any of this.
At one point, Hudson said she refused to let it get to her.
It was so negative, she said. You just realize that youre letting them win the more you feel bad. If Im going to allow this negative energy to get into me, then they win. Ive given them all my power.
[From People]
Kates completely right that media is so mean to women. And Id argue that it still is, but it has moved more from the actual outlets being mean to social media meanness in the comments. Everyone has an opinion and the ones most often shared are the negative ones. And still, to this day, everyone gets body-shamed no matter what size they are. Womens bodies are a constant topic of conversation and of course it impacts your self-image to be scrutinized like that so consistently. I do remember people being kind of mean about her love life too. Maybe Kate wasnt even dating as much as we thought according to her comments on the podcast, but I remember people would call her man-eater and stuff like there was something wrong with enjoying single life. I think the tide has turned on that though because I dont see much commentary on her kids fathers. But three kids with three dads is positively quaint considering some of the stuff that male celebs get up to. Anyway, good for Kate for no longer letting negativity get to her. If she could bottle that and sell it, shed make a killing.

Kate Hudson and Danny Fujikawa are having a long engagement. Theyve been friends for 15 years, a couple since 2016, parents since 2018, and engaged since September 2021. In November, Kate mentioned they hadnt started planning the wedding yet and were in no hurry to do so. They were at the pre-planning the planning point. And now it seems like theyre nearing the end of the pre-planning point? Theyre planning to start planning, know it will be a destination wedding, and have some ideas, but Kate cant decide if she wants a large or small wedding.
Kate Hudson got engaged to Danny Fujikawa more than a year ago, but she?s nowhere close to walking down the aisle.
?Right now, planning a wedding feels insane, but I?m excited to plan a wedding, and I go back and forth between a small wedding and a large wedding,? she shared on Tuesday?s episode of the ?Table for Two? podcast.
Hudson, who was previously married to Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, remembered her first wedding being ?so small.?
?So there?s a part of me that wants the big bash, you know?? she said. ?There?s, like, two sides to me: the big bash or the small, intimate [wedding]. I think somewhere in there I?m going to come up with both.?
The ?How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? actress, 43, is also considering having a traditional Japanese wedding to ?honor? the heritage of her fianc and their 4-year-old daughter, Rani Rose.
?We do sometimes go back and forth with the traditional Japanese wedding ceremony, which would be really beautiful and quite emotional for Danny, seeing as his dad is gone,? she said.
The one thing Hudson, 43, is sure of is that her friends and family will have to travel if they want to witness her and Fujikawa, 36, tie the knot.
?It?ll totally be a destination wedding,? she said. ?It?ll be such an adventure that people will really want to have to come to show up. To me, those are always the most fun weddings. Like, if you really want to be there, you?ll be there.?
She joked, ?If someone?s like, ?I can?t really be there,? then I don?t want you there. That?s all I got right now. That?s all I got for the wedding.?
[From Page Six]
Since Kates first wedding to Chris Robinson was really small and intimate, it makes sense that she might want to do something completely different for her second wedding. But it would also make sense if they wanted to keep it small since theyve already been together so long and have a daughter Kate has said something to that effect before. But Kate says between big or small, maybe theyll come up with both does that mean somewhere in the middle or two weddings?! I dont think Dannys been married before; I wonder what his preference is. The traditional Japanese ceremony sounds like a lovely way to honor Dannys heritage and do something special. I could see them doing that and also having a big bash perhaps in Japan? Celebs are going to celeb and Kate and Danny seem fun so their destination wedding probably will be awesome.

Kate Hudson is great in Knives Out 2: The Glass Onion. She?s definitely sending up a certain kind of privileged celebrity woman, the kind of tone-deaf, casually racist, vapid, past-her-prime beauty who gets by on her connections and her side-hustles. I can understand why Kate was cast, and I?m not saying that as a slam on Kate at all I actually like Kate Hudson a lot and I think she did a great job in The Glass Onion. But this definitely wasn?t a huge acting stretch for her. Kate has given several interviews to promote The Glass Onion, and the interviewers have started venturing into some of the topics of the day, namely ?cancel culture? and nepotism. From Kate?s interview in the Independent:
She?s well-liked by everyone because she keeps it real: ?I?ve not led a very traditional life, you know? Maybe that resonates? Women do come up to me and talk to me about their personal lives a lot. I think because I?ve always been really open and honest about everything. I could never be phoney about it. It?d be exhausting.?
What Kate thinks of people being ?canceled?: ?People should just have a deeper awareness, right? And people who don?t are being called out. We should hold people accountable who do anything that?s sexist, misogynistic, or racist. We should call out the lack of diversity in companies. Or the lack of women on boards. Kanye should be held accountable for his behaviour. Period. There are clear things that [warrant], you know, ?You?re cancelled, bye!??
She does feel like people should go easier on canceling the youths: ?If you?re over 40, there?s a line. Where it gets challenging is when it swings too far in the other direction. I don?t want kids to be scared to make art, or to say things. They need to take risks and speak their minds, because what they want to say could actually be really powerful. You can?t just cancel someone because they?ve made a little mistake. My only thing with ?cancel culture? is that it scares the younger generation. They don?t know if what they?re about to say is going to be met negatively or positively, so they just choose to not say anything. I think we can make a little bit of room for the younger generation to find their way.?
On her famous parents: ?When I was starting out, if anybody asked me about them, I?d always try and change the subject. I really wanted to have my own career. Once I was a good decade in, though, I realised it just didn?t matter. Sometimes talking about my parents was actually a great distraction from talking about the movie I was meant to be promoting.?
On nepotism & knowing her sh-t: ?There was a lot more criticism. I really felt like I had to know my s***, and be as prepared as I could be. It felt like I had to live up to something.? But she admits that there seemed to be a lot less ?son-or-daughter-ofs? back then. It meant a more glaring spotlight was placed on her. ?It was me, maybe Gwyneth I just felt so lucky to get parts. I think a lot of directors and producers didn?t want to hire me because they didn?t want [my parents] to become what the movie was about.? She definitely didn?t feel as if her parents helped her get work eventually, either. ?I remember Cameron Crowe saying that it wasn?t as if Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell showed up to his door with, like, trench coats on, holding a gun to his head and making him put me in the movie. That?s not how any of this works.?
More on nepotism: ?The nepotism thing, I mean I don?t really care. I look at my kids and we?re a storytelling family. It?s definitely in our blood. People can call it whatever they want, but it?s not going to change it. I actually think there are other industries where it?s [more common]. Maybe modelling? I see it in business way more than I see it in Hollywood. Sometimes I?ve been in business meetings where I?m like, wait, whose child is this? Like, this person knows nothing! I don?t care where you come from, or what your relationship to the business is ? if you work hard and you kill it, it doesn?t matter.?
[From The Independent]
Re: nepotism? I mean, she looks SO MUCH like her mother. That was a huge part of Kate?s selling point in the early days of her career, the fact that she looks so much like Goldie and she?s perky and blonde. Please, Hollywood sent Kate every rom-com script they had. So yeah, she got a huge leg up in the industry I wish she would acknowledge that in a real way. Other than that, I like and agree with everything else she says here. Nepotism happens in every industry, and I?m sure she?s been in business meetings where she knows more about the business than whatever Business Nepo Baby. I also like what she says about accountability and how a lot of people do deserve to be canceled for being deplorable.

Here are more photos from the Vanity Fair Oscar party. There were so many Oscar attendees who changed their gowns to party, and there were so many ladies who just came out to party. Kate Hudson is a perpetual Oscar partier, although she?s usually also invited to present at the Oscars. It would have been nice to see her at the telecast, but it was also nice seeing some new faces present, and Kate seemed happy enough to just come out to the parties. She wore this rather stunning Vivienne Westwood gown. I?m a big fan of Westwood, and I love this on her. Sure, it was probably made for someone with more curves, but it looks fantastic on Hudson.
Olivia Wilde wore Fendi to the parties this is actually a jumpsuit, not a dress. It looks comfortable and sort of ?70s chic, which is her vibe.
Charlize Theron in Dior. This is so bad! I can?t believe Dior put their name on this mess. Still, I bet it was slightly more comfortable that her Oscar Dior.
Florence Pugh in Louis Vuitton. She looks like a chic baked potato slowly shedding its foil. Or something!
Sea Leydoux in Louis Vuitton. The dress is fine/pretty/flattering but her styling!! Lord, a center part and ?natural? makeup, can we not?
Gugu Mbatha Raw in a goth-glam Louis Vuitton. I feel like Rooney Mara is lusting over this dress.
