Lance Armstrong has great taste in women, but horrible taste in music


Lance Armstrong will always be in the news. Apparently, overcoming cancer, winning the Tour de France seven times and constantly being accused of cheating will do that to a guy. Of course, nowadays his publicity revolves around his social life and not his ability to pedal straight up the side of a mountain at breakneck speed, which means the stories are always about who he’s dating now. For a while there, we were starting to worry about Lance, seeing how he courted old lady Sheryl Crow and one of the Olsen twins after his divorce, but it seems like he finally got it right.

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson are certainly spending some quality time together.

The seven-time Tour de France winner and the actress were spotted in Austin on both Friday and Saturday nights. First, the pair dined at Eddie V’s, a high-end restaurant frequented by Armstrong, according to a restaurant insider.

“They came in [Friday] and had dinner together, it’s true,” the insider tells PEOPLE.

The next night, Hudson, 29, and Armstrong, 36, ate at the casual Hula Hut with the athlete’s three children and a group of friends. “They came in with the kids and a large group of people,” says another restaurant source. “They ordered dinner – tacos, burgers and fries and that sort of stuff.”

Asked if the pair looked romantic, the source merely said, “They looked like they were having fun.”

Hudson and Armstrong were also in the same place on Thursday: Both were spotted in New York at the Wildwood Barbeque restaurant at the afterparty following Kid Rock’s Madison Square Garden concert.

Step aside Tony Parker and Eva Longoria, we might have our next hot Hollywood meets sports love connection right here.

Report: Armstrong admitted doping

The French newspaper Le Monde is reporting that while being treated for testicular cancer, Lance Armstrong admitted to his doctor that he had taken banned performance enhancing drugs.


Armstrong’s alleged admission was made Oct. 28, 1996, to a doctor who was treating him for cancer. Betsy Andreu testified that the doctor asked Armstrong whether he had ever taken doping products, and that the cyclist replied “yes,” according to Le Monde. The newspaper said she and her husband were with Armstrong on that day.

“He asks which ones. And Lance replies, ‘EPO, growth hormones, cortisone, steroids, testosterone,”‘ it quoted her as telling the court in January.

Meanwhile, Armstrong’s lawyer called the charges absurd and one of his doctor’s that treated him for cancer said that he and other colleagues visited armstrong the day before his treatment and no such admission was made. Amstrong himself said in a November deposition that no doctor had asked him about taking doping products and that Betsy Andreu is making it up because she hates him.

Why is it that allegations of cheating always come up from the French newspapers. Look, Armstrong kicked your ass 7 times. He’s retired now. Get over it.
