Kate Hudson Mad About Being Dumped?

Is Kate Hudson taking out her heartache on her friends? Since splitting with Owen Wilson (38) the normally free-spirited actress (27) has been pushing pals away with her bad temper.

"Since Owen kicked her to the curb, she has turned into a tyrant to everybody in sight," a confidant tells the New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher column.

"And she just backed off on her offer to buy [soon to-be ex-husband] Chris Robinson a house in Malibu."

Added the source: "They’re ironing out their divorce right now, and there will be a line in it about Chris having ’suitable housing’ for when Ryder comes to stay, but she’s not going to buy him the Malibu dream house anymore."

The former couple are also reportedly quarreling over their son, Ryder, who turned three on January 7.

"She’s filming Fool’s Gold, with Matthew McConaughey, in Australia, and she told Chris if he wanted to be with Ryder on his birthday, he had to go down there," said the source, adding that the Black Crowes singer was "kind of broke."

Hudson’s lawyer told the Daily News: "Your source is not credible, as the reported allegations are all untrue … all matters involving Ms. Hudson’s and Chris Robinson’s separation and custody matters are private matters upon which we will not comment other than to report that they have all been mutually and amicably agreed upon."
