The Lovely and Talented Kate Hudson

Goldie Hawn's daughter stars on the January cover of Harper's Bazaar. Inside she chats about pregnancy, engagement and break up rumors, heartbreak and why her and Chris got divorced. “No matter how many times my heart breaks, I’ll never be any different,” Hudson says, explaining the heartbreak is worth the risk. "I'd rather hang out with a person who's done everything than who's done nothing. It would suck to die and not have experienced my life, really. I mean, I think you should keep your eyes open. Blinders are fun for a second, but they have to come off eventually. And I believe it's important to get to know people, to really get to know them." The January issue hits stands December 15.

Kate addresses rumors, specifically those regarding current beau A-Rod.  "I'm not pregnant," she says. "I can't go two months without being pregnant, engaged, or breaking up because I'm too needy, which is always the one they love. I'm not needy. You kind of have to laugh it off, but it can kind of screw up other things around it."  On why she doesn't talk about her relationships: "I have a child, and there are people involved, and it's unfair to talk about somebody else, especially when you're not in that place yet to be discussing those things. If I was sitting here with a belly out to here, I'd be talking about what the relationship is and how important that is in my life right now."

On not feeling pressure from family or friends to avoid Alex Rodriguez because of his past mistakes: " I don't really have friends like that," Kate says. "My mother never shook anybody's hand. She has kissed and hugged her way through life. [My family had] an open-door policy. We were never afraid to bring the wrong person home. They were always open to our failures." On the photo of her and A-Rod kissing: "There's a guy that's shooting probably 60 frames a minute. That was a sideswipe on the cheek. That wasn't even a kiss. I quickly kissed the cheek. And I remember one of the headlines the next day said, MAKEOUT SESSION. What is wrong with people?"

On ex husband and father of her son Ryder, Chris Robinson: "Chris is a great dad. I feel really lucky. When we first met, it was so immediate. I had no question in my mind I was supposed to marry him and have children with him.
