No that story is definitely new.

 

As for it being true or false... I'm thinking the latter.

:snore: :snore: :snore: :snore:

Cooking lesson:

 

Take a snippet of this tabloid article, a dash or two of that rumor, a handful of actual interview soundbytes (slightly out of context of course- couldn't possibly be too accurate with them) and top it off with a couple of pure fabrications. Blend well.

 

Behold a brand new story. :rolleyes:

:lol:

 

 

It tastes bad.... :cry:

Proof positive

Her part in Proof the play redefined Gwyneth Paltrow, but is she happy to be reprising the role on the big screen? You do the maths, she tells Garth Pearce

 

 

 

Gwyneth Paltrow’s attempts to publicise her latest film, Proof, did not go to plan. First, a faulty plane en route to the Venice film festival had to turn back mid-flight and make a dramatic emergency landing in New York. Her next try, in London, had to be postponed because she had discovered she was pregnant, for the second time in her two-year marriage to Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, and wanted to keep it secret. So what happens when we finally meet? All the talk is about plane disasters, marriage and babies.

This is something of a breakthrough: Paltrow usually likes to keep the lid firmly down on her private thoughts. “I cannot believe how my life has turned around,” she says. “I have a great husband, a beautiful daughter and another baby on the way. My life is full and so happy. When my plane returned to New York, I could see all the fire engines and ambulances surrounding the runway, and I thought, ‘Oh, no. I’m not going out like this, surely? Please, not now.’” She implies there were times when she might have surveyed the same scene with different emotions. “It’s only now that I see how unhappy and turbulent my twenties really were. There was everyone saying, ‘Oh, aren’t you lucky? You have a marvellous life.’ And me thinking, ‘If it is that marvellous, why do I feel so sad?’” Paltrow is the only actress I’ve met who looks better in the flesh than on screen or in photographs. It’s often, alarmingly, the other way around. Of course, she has the pregnant glow that seems to bless some women. But her long blonde hair and clear, pale skin seem switched on, as if by some magic light. She’s all blue eyes and white teeth and revelation.

 

 

 

When she won a best-actress Oscar at 26 for Shakespeare in Love, the world ridiculed her for her inability to get through her speech for the tears. It turns out she was shedding them regularly in private, too. Her high-profile relationships with Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck were doomed. Her life seemed to be spent in front of a camera — as well as Shakespeare in Love, she released four more films in 1998, including Sliding Doors, and clocked up The Talented Mr Ripley in 1999, Bounce and Duets in 2000 and The Royal Tenenbaums and The Anniversary Party in 2001. “My life,” she says, “consisted of 5am calls, hair and make-up trailers, 14-hour working days and much confusion. It was supposed to be all I ever wanted. Wasn’t it?” The question is rhetorical, of course, and she pauses for no more than a second. “But I was working myself to death. My twenties were so turbulent. I had no time to explore the world or who I was. I also didn’t have any relationship of any significance or worth. I was aware I was being snappy and difficult, and feeling guilty about it. This was just not me, since I had been brought up to be polite and treat others kindly. The expectations surrounding me, though, were just too great.”

 

This is when Proof first came into her life. The British director of Shakespeare in Love, John Madden, was working on David Auburn’s play, already a hit on Broadway. It was to be staged at London’s tiny Donmar Warehouse, and the cast would be lucky to clear £300 per week. The lead character, Catherine, was an eccentric girl who had spent years caring for her maths-genius father, despite his grumpiness and mood swings. She was being undermined by her sister and confused by the attentions of one of her father’s young devotees. The role needed skilful casting if it was going to work in such an intimate atmosphere. Madden offered the part to Paltrow as a long shot. She accepted on the spot.

 

“I was 29, and this was the biggest turning point of my career,” she says. “It was the start of a much slower, less furious, much more careful and artistic way of approaching life.” She moved to London and was visited regularly by her elegant actress mother, Blythe Danner, and her television-producer father, Bruce, whom she has no compunction in describing as the love of her life. The reviews, particularly of Paltrow’s performance, were the stuff of every producer’s dreams. (“Thrilling ... the kind of actor you don’t want to let go”: The Sunday Times.) “That summer of 2002 was a perfect summer,” she says. “Everything seemed right in the world.”

 

Then, shortly after the play ended its run, she took her father, who was suffering from cancer, on a holiday to Italy. He died of a heart attack during the trip, aged 58. “It was three days after my 30th birthday — and the worst day of my life,” she says. “What happened after that is best not analysed too closely. I had lost the most important person in the world, but my life did a 180-degree turn and somehow came right. It was a very strange feeling to have both of these things going on at once.” She met Martin a few weeks later. They began a romance in secret. By the time it became news, she was already set to marry him. She was pregnant at their wedding, in December 2003, and gave birth to their daughter, Apple, the following May. They set up home in London, and suddenly Paltrow changed pace. She was no longer earning big bucks for crowd-pleasers like Shallow Hal, but playing Sylvia Plath in the low-budget and introspective Sylvia. She was also off the front pages and no longer being pursued by photographers.

 

“I was a wife and mom,” she shrugs, as if to say “just like that”. “And I had never felt happier. Friends who knew my life for years from the inside could not believe it. I couldn’t believe it either. Perhaps finding the right person was the key. But I had to clear a lot of personal stuff out of the way to be ready for it. I did have some therapy, just a limited amount, which helped clear my mind. I also could never come out with the fact that I felt so unhappy. The reaction, quite rightly, would have been, ‘Are you mad? You think you have problems? You’ve won the lottery of life, you foolish woman.’”

 

Paltrow is far from a fool, of course. And she was certainly bright enough to accept the film role in Proof when it came her way. She had been promised the part if Madden could think of a winning way to adapt the play to screen. He has done so, with some heavyweight casting. Anthony Hopkins plays the father; a feisty Hope Davis, who nearly steals the movie, is her estranged sister; and Jake Gyllenhaal is the student of her father’s proofs who falls for the enigmatic Catherine. Again, Paltrow delivers emotions just this side of what seems like madness. Those who do not know the play will be kept guessing as to whether Catherine is insane or a genius.

 

The intense father-daughter relationship is given extra frisson because Paltrow is mourning her own father. “I asked John Madden if he could tell any difference in my performance,” she says. “I had this life-changing experience, and wondered if it reflected itself in the film. He assured me my approach was the same. I felt, myself, that when I did the play, I had a fear of my father’s death. By the time I did the film, I knew the suffering of this incredible loss. So I felt there was a difference, and I found certain scenes with Anthony Hopkins very difficult to deliver.”

 

But deliver she does, to such an extent that there is talk of a possible Oscar nomination in a year, truth be told, when really strong women’s performances are in short supply. If so, it would be a triumph for the discerning Madden, who backed Paltrow to become a star when she was an unknown. “He auditioned me for Golden Gate when I was 20,” she confirms. “But the guy at Fox who made the decisions said I wasn’t pretty enough. I find it best to be in total denial over remarks like that. I refuse to hear or see. Otherwise, it would drive you nuts.” She has the same policy, apparently, when it comes to her avalanche of press cuttings. “I don’t read them,” she says. “I pretend it’s not happening. It would be difficult to leave your front door if you took it all too seriously.”

 

Refreshingly, Paltrow is not whinging about how she’s been treated by photographers or the press. “There is obviously an appetite for gossip,” she admits, even among those who are on the front pages. “Why is it so sticky and addictive to see what people are doing and wearing and saying, and who is breaking up?” she asks. “An actor friend was talking to me at dinner about this. He had just been with someone famous who had been outraged when reading an inaccurate gossip item about himself in the New York Post. Then he turned the page of the same newspaper and said, ‘My God, do you see who is together?’ So we’re all at it, aren’t we?”

 

On that subject, let’s address some recent tittle-tattle about Paltrow. That her London house, bought from Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet, is haunted: “I love our house, and it has such a warm feeling. It is definitely not haunted.” And that she criticised London as being dirty: “I am from New York City — so you want to talk about dirty?” She smiles. “London is immaculate. I love it here and love the British way of life.” She is also the new face of Estée Lauder. Did she accept it for the money? “Sort of,” she answers, honestly. “I have a baby, another on the way, and found myself thinking, ‘I want to be with them and continue doing the type of films I want to do.’ There’s no real money in these films, and I don’t want to go back to being on a set for 12 weeks at a stretch, 14 hours a day. So I thought the Estée Lauder job would give me financial freedom.”

 

To that end, she has completed a small-budget film, The Good Night, with Danny DeVito and Martin Freeman, directed by her brother, Jake. And she has directed a short film, Dealbreaker, with her best friend, Mary Wigmore, which is being screened at the Sundance film festival. It’s about how a new and potentially loving relationship can be changed in one moment of crass male carelessness. “It’s very much a personal story,” says Paltrow with a smile. “I’ve had plenty of experience.”

Thanks so much for posting that, was interesting to read. She always comes across really sweet and I really admire her honesty.

I don't think it's true, as these tabloids can't know what's going on inside their private lives like this..

 

But to be honest, I think it's definitely likely, because.. just imagine you're 5 months pregnant and your husband is on the road all the time.. This must be depressing :cry:
