Kate Hudson is looking forward to going home for the holidays – because she loves watching her relatives bicker on Christmas Day.

The Almost Famous actress will take her young son Ryder back to the Colorado town where she grew up – but admits the celebrations are often far from festive when her family begins feuding.

She says, “We go to Colorado every year where we grew up and just hang out. It’s a great time because it’s the one time when we all really get together. I can’t wait to see who gets in the first argument, that’s always a good one. There’s always going to be one argument. There’s always going to be the one that everybody’s worried about in the family – always! There’s always somebody saying, ‘I’m really concerned about your brother or I’m really concerned about Aunt so-and-so!’”

Kate Hudson, upset by her breakup with Alex Rodriguez, found a sympathetic ear at the local premiere of “Nine.”

At Tuesday’s after-party at M2 in Chelsea, Hudson was seen chatting quietly with Madonna, who dated the Yankee slugger last year. “When the cameras were on Kate she was all smiles. But privately you could tell she has had her heart broken,” a witness said.

Humiliated Hudson, who was reportedly dumped by A-Rod because he felt she was hogging the spotlight, also flew in her mom, Goldie Hawn, to support her. Mother and daughter drank dirty martinis at M2 “and hung out all night,” a spy said. “It was her big premiere, and she was upset Alex wasn’t there to support her.”

Hudson’s friends Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer tried to be supportive, but couldn’t make it through the aggressive crowd to congratulate her. The couple gave up and slipped out the back entrance into their waiting SUV.

While Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” became a Yankees anthem during the World Series victory, it was hardly music to Hudson’s ears. “When the song was played at the after-party, Kate looked at her mom and did a fake scream,” our source says.

Still, there’s hope for the relationship. A pal of Hudson told us they’re trying to make up. The source said, “They had a huge fight in London at the premiere of ‘Nine,’ and Alex flew to Miami to hang out with his friends. But in the last few days he and Kate have started speaking again on the phone. She hopes they can work things out. But they are both very stubborn.”

Also making appearances at the party were stars Penelope Cruz and boyfriend Javier Bardem, Harvey Weinstein, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Fergie, who showed up with husband Josh Duhamel, despite an Atlanta stripper’s recent claims that she had a one-night stand with the actor. “They looked very affectionate all night,” says our spy.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are helping their girl, Kate Hudson, shake off her breakup with Alex Rodriguez.

Riding high on the raves for her performance in “Nine” and her iTunes hit, “Cinema Italiano,” Kate has headed to the family chalet in Aspen to ski. “Kate is better off without A-Rod,” hisses one pal. “She had much better chemistry with Owen Wilson.

Alex is such a diva. When he came to the London premiere of ‘Nine,’ it was obvious he didn’t like standing in the background. He’d show up late to every appearance.” A friend of A-Rod’s says, “He just went through a crazy divorce. He wasn’t ready for a serious relationship. Friends would ask him, ‘Do you love, Kate?’ He’d say, ‘She’s a good person.’ Alex is a romantic. He’s a love-at-first-sight guy. I think she was more into the idea of them together. She dug going to the ballpark and being the center of attention for 50,000 people. It helped her more than him.”

Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman introduced the Black Eyed Peas at Sunday night’s American Music Awards, as Peas’ singer Fergie is also in the film.

During the intro, Hudson almost had a wardrobe malfunction when she leaned forward and her metallic dress went with her.

Actor Marlon Wayans commented, “Kate Hudson is pretty but she got a chest like me in White Chicks.”

Nicole Kidman was also at the AMAs to support husband Keith Urban.

A-Rod went 0-for-4 Saturday – but he made it to first base anyway.

The randy Yankees slugger and stunning actress Kate Hudson put on a very public display of affection for the first time, locking lips during the team’s annual family picnic.

Hudson, 33, was also spotted giving Rodriguez a big squeeze as the lovestruck pair canoodled following the Bombers’ loss to the Oakland A’s.

A-Rod’s focus wasn’t just on his flaming hot new gal pal. The Yankees star also spent time playing with daughters Ella, 1, and Natasha, 4, who were dressed in their Yankees best.

Notably absent from the family fest was A-Rod’s ex-wife, Cynthia Rodriguez, whom he divorced last fall.

The very public smooching puts to rest rumors that Rodriguez, 33, and Hudson are just close friends.

Hudson, the daughter of Goldie Hawn, is believed to have met A-Rod last November in Miami.

Since then, she has been spotted slipping into Rodriguez’s swanky midtown pad and cheering him on from the front row at several Yankees games.

The couple was first photographed together two weeks ago in Beverly Hills.

In recent years, A-Rod’s exploits off the field have garnered as much attention as his slugging.

His rumored conquests include Madonna and a Las Vegas stripper, with whom he was photographed in a Toronto hotel two years ago while he was still married.

Alex Rodriguez shouldn’t forget to take girlfriend Kate Hudson out to the ballgame.

Hudson seems to bring good luck for her new beau. The Bronx Bombers delivered a 2-1 win Monday night as the actress cheered from the stands.

The Yanks finished the week well, with six straight wins over the Orioles and Tigers. Maybe the hunky third baseman should keep the blond babe close by.

Hudson, who has followed Rodriguez from Dallas to Miami to see him play, has been a frequent fixture at Yankee Stadium.

And she brings better fortune than Jessica Simpson, who was derided as a curse after her then-boyfriend, football star Tony Romo, lost to the New York Giants in the NFL playoffs a couple of seasons ago.

GOTCHA! We caught lovebirds KATE Hudson and A-Rod exiting the club 40/40 late Sunday night. In typical sneaky celeb fashion, they left separately. The skirt-chasing Yankee and the blond “Bride Wars” star were there for the bachelor party of Bombers catcher José Molina. A-Rod co-owns the club and brought his new gal pal to party with teammates C.C. Sabathia and Mariano Rivera, as well as Carl Crawford of the Tampa Bay Rays. Sorry guys — we’re on to you!
