It’s almost Mardi Gras!

Kate Hudson treats 6-year-old son Ryder Russell to a fun day out, scoping out the Big Easy scene — and collecting some beads — on Saturday.

The actress is in New Orleans shooting her latest movie, Earthbound, costarring Gael García Bernal and Kathy Bates and due out later this year.

Dad is Chris Robinson, who just made Ryder a big brother — the Black Crowes frontman and wife Allison Bridges welcomed daughter Cheyenne Genevieve on Dec. 26.

In A Family Is a Family Is a Family, Rosie O’Donnell examines modern family life. Footage of her own four children with former partner Kelli Carpenter appears in the documentary, despite their breakup, and Rosie says she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Kelli and I had been working on what kind of arrangement our family was going to proceed in for the last two and a half years,” she tells Reuters. “I never once thought to stop doing the documentary.” As for how the kids are handling their changing family dynamic, Rosie says that all is well, noting “it’s different when gay people with children separate.”

“It is not as dramatic as what you stereotypically think with heterosexuals, where one person walks out … It was more of a collaborative effort of how are we going to proceed and make sure of the most important thing — which is that the emotional health, the heart and soul of these kids, remains intact.”

Adding that “the greatest thing you can teach your child is how to deal with adversity,” Rosie opines that “even though change is scary, sometimes it is necessary.”

At least one thing remains unchanged for the 47-year-old radio talk show host, however. When asked about what she thinks of first in the morning, Rosie replies,

“Where the kids are. Who is up.”

Rosie and Kelli are parents to Parker Jaren, 14, Chelsea Belle, 12, Blake Christopher, 10, and Vivienne Rose, 7.

A Family Is a Family Is a Family airs throughout the month on HBO. The Carpenter-O’Donnell’s are pictured below at a screening of the film on Jan. 19th in New York City.
