Photos
This is a paparazzi photo of Kate Hudson walking with her friend, Matt Bellamy, in what is clearly a very strong contender for the title of Mr. Cool Disguise. Hahahhaha. Uh, take it easy, Matt Bellamy, NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHO YOU ARE! (OK, I guess that’s not true. I googled Matt Bellamy and he’s in that band Muse? Do you guys listen to that band? Who listens to that band? Whatever, Matt Bellamy. Either way take this dumb old bag off your stupid face.) Looking at this photo, you just know that Matt Bellamy was totally the dude who got, like, one of his songs played one time at 3AM on a college radio station and immediately stopped talking to all his friends because he just “needed to be around people who understood the pressure he was under.” This guy. Meanwhile, what is even the point of this picture? If anything, Kate Hudson should be the Mrs. Cool Disguise, but she’s pure class ever since she starred in Bride Wars and/or Le Divorce. When two celebrities want to keep their private life a secret, they will do that thing where they walk two steps behind each other outside of a restaurant, which is already kind of silly, but at the same time it is increasingly difficult for famous people to guard their privacy, but at what point is someone like “this is exhausting, I think the solution is to put this plastic bag on my head and tear only one eye hole.” Like, you’re going to go to the trouble of putting a bag over your face, but you’re not going to go to the trouble of PUTTING ON AN ADULT STYLE OF PANTS? “Please, no photos, I am on my way to a pickup game of crab soccer” Kate Hudson is probably calling her mom in this photo. “Mom, you’ll never guess who I’m with. Yes, Mr. Cool Disguise. Good guess. You’re Goldie Hawn!” (Via Zimbio. Thanks for the tip, Patricia.)
P.S. YO, KATE HUDSON, THE FUCK IS ON YOUR FEET?

I found this picture to be very a-muse-ing.
Celebrities – they’re just like toddlers who accidentally asphyxiate themselves!
What if Kate Hudson starts dating Buckethead?
gross – I ‘replied’ wrong and also someone else made that joke. My bad, monsters.
You guys, you are falling for their trap. His baghead is meant to be a diversion so we won’t notice her toe shoes.
Goddammit. Why’d you have to point that out, FLW?!
Those damn toe shoes are the WORST!!! They make me a little nostalgic for crocs!! Crocs should be as bad as it gets!!! Dangit!!!!!!
Muse is my dad’s favorite band. If I was Matt Bellamy, that would be enough reason for me to put a bag on my head.
i don’t get Muse. they literally came out of nowhere. i first heard of them when they just all of the sudden started headlining festivals and then Glenn Beck loves them and “oh, they’re huge in Europe…”
and it seems lots of older people like them…i’ve heard like 4 of there songs and just. dont. get it.
I haven’t heard enough of them to have a real opinion, but my dad has historically terrible taste in music so I just assume they’re awful.
they’re not bad, i just still don’t see how they’re so popular, got so big without me hearing of them*, and don’t get how/why old people seem to have heard of them and liked them so much.
* i realize this sounds like a dickish, know-it-all comment, but it’s like they’re arcade fire at the grammy’s and i’m rosie o’donnell. i just don’t get how it’s possible to be on that high of a level without a person who follows these things pretty closely had never heard of them or their music.
Late 90s / early-aughts = pretty old. Like, Radiohead old. Generally, they seem to be big in England and nobodies here.
You gotta remember that that was before the great internet hype era, when people read Spin magazine and browsed the CD shelves at Tower Records and shit. It was really possible to get into a cool band that seemed pretty big (because they had a major-label contract) but your friends didn’t know them at all. Like Soul Coughing, or Clinic, or something.
I really like their album “Absolution.”
Having said that, I haaaate the plastic-bag-Mr.-Cool-Disguises so much. At the very least, they’re not environmentally friendly! Douchey on so many levels. Doubly douchey.
I am surprised Muse is big with dads. But that makes sense, they have kind of a 70s-80s sound, like this huge swooping ambitious space-operatic prog-mess that kind of rocks. No one really goes for that anymore. It is very evident in “Knights of Cydonia,” which really swings for the fences and is probably my favorite video of all time.
I think Muse is okay. I play them in the background sometimes but couldn’t name more than two of the songs.
As a fan of Muse for ten years I can solve this riddle.
Matt Bellamys Dad was a member of the band The Tornados, who were big in the 60s. Their hit Telstar was in fact the first british song becoming #1 in the US. That was 62.
Muses Knights of Cydonia is a big reference to Telstar, so probably many dads out there got reminded of their attempts to dance to this song with these weird “synthies”, whatever magic stuff that is. There you have it.
(And just like every fan-for-a-decade of every band ever, I don’t like their latest stuff because it’s not club music but stadium music now.)
I discovered muse at the Norehbongs in Korea. They are on every karaoke machine over there.
they still are.
The photographer still knew who he was, so…what’s his game? Does he think the camera will steal his soul? Zit on the end of his nose? Is he a vampire working on ways to walk in the daylight? Your bag only deepens my interest in you, guy-who-I’ve-never-heard-of.
Kate is fittingly dressed as a bag lady, so I guess this makes sense.
what’s with kate hudson and dating musicians?
This is lolhorrifying
He’s British, right? I assume he just tweeted some timely Family Guy references and is trying to avoid deportation.
“Please, Mr. Cool Disguise is my father. Call me Matt.”
Surprised you got through that comment without laughing.
After this Gabe will read from the novelization of Fool’s Gold.
this: “one of his songs played one time at 3AM on a college radio station and immediately stopped talking to all his friends because he just ‘needed to be around people who understood the pressure he was under.’” made me LOLL(oudly)
Stop making fun of Matt Bellamy’s condition where his head is a plastic bag it’s tough with Wes Bentley always filming him

Interesting. Tell me, what are your thoughts on the film, The Boondock Saints?

Louis, I have to think people like you are the reason Matt Bellamy is wearing a bag over his head.

You misunderstand me, Louis. I’m only saying that people become Mr. Cool Disguise for one reason and one reason only: to stave off the superfans. I may or may not be the reason murders are increasing, but I am definitely the reason Emma Stone, Christina Hendricks, Carey Mulligan, cakeordeath, and a number of other celebrities never leave the house without a bucket on their heads.
“”THEIR LIVE SHOWS LEAVE PEOPLE APPALLED.”
Can’t argue with that.

Louis, you’ll be happy to know that I took a roadtrip over the weekend and listened to Muse all the way from Kansas City to Omaha. Appalling time.
Louis, I was agreeing with you. Their shows leave people appalled. Why the aggression?
I mentioned not everyone, Im sorry I thought your comment was very nice and fair
This is an indisputable point!!!!
I’m appalled by this comment. So great!
I would like to thank you for using the word “addictive” and not “addicting.” Though I question your logic, your grammar is sound.
HAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS THE BEST THREAD EVER. So great.
Who do you guys think would win in a fight – Muse or Incubus?
311 would eat Muse and Incubus for
breakfastlunchbrunch?LinnerDUNCH.Toooootally Muse. They harness the power of the Matrix.
Muse forever
Whoa, Louis. You like Muse? No way!
looool can you believe that? I actually do?
This whole thing feels so Empire Records. Did you just want to become a Monster this whole time, Warren?
AHHHH HOW DO I TURN OFF FACEBOOK CONNECT YOU GUYS!!!
There must be a logout at the end of the page
Don’t fall for it guys – he’s just trying to get into Monster’s Ball for lowest rated comment. Don’t let him steal what is rightfully ours!
Ugh. He probably writes for Parks and Rec. That show sucks.
nice try.
At the very least, he’s an angry fan of that talentless ogre Ryan Gosling. Ugh, give me a Gwyn-Pal movie over that nonsense ANYDAY.
You guys it isn’t going to work. You have be earnest about it. Like for example, my earnest utter distaste for Roman Polanski’s directing work, but my total support of whatever that man does with his personal life.
I hate cats!
I like Mondays!
Nutella sucks!!
Have you all heard of this Newt Gingrich fellow? I really like the cut of his jib.
Measles!
what kind of world do we live in when someone doesn’t know who KATE HUDSON’S boyfriend is? And if the paparazzi are after him he’s got to be amazing!
I think you should google the word “appalled,” okay?
Thanks everyone, this was a great read. The journey of Louis Simon from extreme downvotes to upvotes through the power of the smiley face and his undying love for Muse.
He won me over very quickly.
BTW, I came back here after a few hours and upvoted every fucking thing. Seriously my favorite thread in a long time. We need more people like Louis.
By the way with regards to my previous by the way, but I think we should have more people like Louis – not to be amused and have fun with them, but because I feel everyone should be welcome here, regardless if they get our humor or give a shit about our inside jokes. It makes it more interesting, and this was one of the most interesting threads I’ve read in a while.
Love you, Louis.
Please come back to Videogum.
Dad?
I can’t wait to hear how this is deployed as a metaphor in his next hit single. “Only one eye can see/ Through this plastic world around me.”

how can you even operate a computer enough to get on the internet and write stuff like these when you don’t know how to turn off the caps lock?
Ya BURNT, Gabe!
kelly on the other hand prides herself on her extensive knowledge of Kate Hudson’s personal life.
Another indisputable point! The internet…huh! “where a man can make a point nobody can deny.” – Mark Twain?

No, you burnt Gabe, the author of this article. Gabe is the one who is burnt.
You are burnt, Gabe.
You leveled a sick burn at Gabe, is what he’s saying. Sick burn, dude.
Oh this time I misunderstood the “burning’ part sorry to everyone
cause he’s a jolly good fellow
“I know Matt and Kate”

Nice Try, Louis Simon.
I see through your Internet bag.
Actresses have bad taste in bands to be band-girlfriends with.
winona ryder always seems to have good taste in
musicmusiciansThat gives me an idea for a blog! It shall be a cross between Pitchfork and Millionaire Matchmaker.
Oops! Reply to R. Rubbermaid.
Weak comment. For all of its coos about being a reply, it’s the comment equivalent of a faked orgasm. 5.5
Before I was pickpocket, I had a brief career commenting under my own name, Louis Simon.
I told you you never should have enhanced your lips.
Honestly, Kate Hudson always seemed like the type of celebrity to shop at Waitrose, not Tesco.
Just so we’re clear, Muse is basically a bad, The Bend’s-era Radiohead plus piano, right? And whinier, with more sci-fi nerd appeal? Definitely appalling, for sure.
Muse is your basic go-to if you are looking to listen to Bends-era arena rock outside of Radiohead. Like a “What If…” comic book where the question was asked “What If… Radiohead Continued to Make Different Versions of The Bends Album?”
Wow, wouldn’t that world be a para, para, paradise.
What If….A Queen Cover Band Decided to Make Different Versions of The Bends Album and Were Inexplicably Successful Until Thanos Married Aunt May?
Thanos: “With this ring, I thee WEB?!”
Spider-Man: “Not so fast, Thanos!”
Thank you.
THIS ISTHE SILLIEST THING I`VE EVER READ. MUSE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BAND EVER AND YOU JUST DON`T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT. I THINK YOU DON`T EVEN DESERVE EARS.
This is the best comment ever.
Gabe, please hand in your ears to the Videogum offices.
I like the name Louis Simon, but you still need an Avatar. Have you thought perhaps of using a Muse logo?
Also, you Donna Darko’d yourself, kind of.
I know this board is already overlong, but can I just say the joke that everyone’s probably thinking?
PAPER OR PLASTIC?
hahahhalol
Whatever, I’m barely even bothering with other threads anymore. This is the best one. Let’s stay here forever.
She dumped the guy from the Black Crowes for the elephant man?
I like to think that Kate Hudson is taking a picture with her iPhone in this photo, that way all her friends can see what a cool boyfriend she has
I shall refrain from comment lest approximately 17 billion Twilight fans thrash me into a very unattractive canine carcass.
Almost Famous + Too Goddamn Famous, Apparently = Internet Famous
That would be a Tesco bag on his head, which makes me think this is not a disguise at all, but rather an uninspired Rubberbandits costume.

I have to applaud all the ridiculing that this picture has generated. And I totally agree with all of the trashing. However, I have to give props to Kate Hudson for being cool enough to go out in public wearing the best fucking shoes ever invented. Vibram five fingers!!

I’m sorry they aren’t Fastball or Everclear, you know bands with talent
I guess if they aren’t featured on stereogum or pitchfork theyre irrelevant.
Yeah no, I just can’t take them seriously. They dress too nicely and lack facial hair. And I don’t like bands that rock, really, I prefer them to shamble.
But maybe if you explained them to me I’d come around. Are they, like, earnest? Do they mean the stuff they sing about? Or is it like a joke that their fans are in on? I like bands that are jokes.
