Gwyneth Paltrow is happily over the hill.

The Academy Award winner (and mom to daughter Apple, 8, and son Moses, 6, with husband Chris Martin, 35) celebrated her 40th birthday September 27. At pal Tracy Anderson's Pregnancy Project event supporting Every Mother Counts in New York City October 5, the Iron Man 3 actress spoke about what the milestone birthday means to her.

"I was really worried about it, leading up to the day, but now I feel really happy and content with my life," Paltrow told reporters. "I'm excited to move into the next phase. It's much more exciting than I thought it would be."

Paltrow doesn't predict much will change now that she's entered a new decade. "I think I try to promote self-growth and reflection for myself every day," she explained.

Despite her luxe lifestyle, Paltrow -- whose BFFs include Cameron Diaz, 40, and Beyonce Knowles, 31 -- said she's just like any other mom. "We have a scrimmage soccer game in our yard every day after school. It's so fun," she said. Though Moses prefers soccer, "Apple has been really loving gymnastics," the star said.

Regardless of the activity, Paltrow is glad her children are being actively challenged on a daily basis. "I feel that mental happiness and physical happiness are so closely related, and especially for kids, because they have so much energy."

Gwyneth Paltrow's Star-Studded 40th Birthday Party: All the Details!

CELEBRITY NEWS

OCTOBER 6, 2012 AT 12:00PM

BY USWEEKLY STAFF

 

 

Quiet Upper East Side Italian eatery Elio's was the place to be in NYC Friday night. The reason? That's where Gwyneth Paltrow feted her 40th birthday, with a little help from some very famous friends.

Around 7:15 p.m., an eyewitness tells Us Weekly guests like Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw and Gwyneth's mom, Blythe Danner, started showing up. The birthday girl -- clad in a chic black blouse with white trim, arrived a half-hour later, followed by Jessica Seinfeld, Chelsea Handler and Kristen Wiig.

 

Ethan Hawke pulled up around half past 8, while Paltrow's BFF Beyonce arrived fashionably late at 9:30. Also in attendance? Jake Gyllenhaal, Christy Turlington, The Beastie Boys' Mike D, Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth's hubby Chris Martin.

Once inside, the group ate, drank, and mingled to a low-key, lounge-like piano soundtrack. (Paltrow and her pals ate chocolate cake for dessert, a source tells Us.)

Prior to heading to her party, another insider reveals the mom to Apple and Moses got ready for her big night with pal Diaz, also 40. (Celeb hair pro Josue Perez styled both of the blonde stunners' 'dos.)

"They are really fun and close. They were having a great time getting ready for the party," the insider shares. "There were lots of laughs."

 

Earlier this week, Paltrow opened up to reporters at Tracy Anderson's Pregnancy Project event about her latest milestone. (She officially turned 40 on September 27).

"I was really worried about it, leading up to the day, but now I feel really happy and content with my life," the Academy Award winner shared. "I'm excited to move into the next phase. It's much more exciting than I thought it would be."

I guess this is the 'curse' you live with for having friends all over the world...

I bet I know where they're spending this evening. Jay-Z is performing at the new Barclay Center in Brooklyn for the 7th or 8th night in a row. It's supposed to be live on youtube.

this is called birthday-touring!!! :p :p

Ah! Beyonce just took the stage at the Jay-Z Barclay Center concert. She said, I want to say happy birthday to a special friend of mine. Gwyn, I love you! Then she performed Crazy

In Love.

The bday wish is at around 3:02

This Yahoo France article http://fr.news.yahoo.com/gwyneth-paltrow-enceinte-094200452.html claims that Gwyneth turned down a role in Clint Eastwood A Star Is Born. I thought Beyonce was the one supposed to be in that one.

Can't read French:dozey:

Basically, it's about the pregnancy rumors. They say that she may have turned down the role due to being pregnant, and then it's about the Pregnancy event she attended (they're like: what a coincidence!). Finally, they say that they think they have trouble imagining she's pregnant, that she's in a very good shape and probably only meant to support a friend by attending her event.

They probably copy pasted this article and both articles are wrong. There have been rumours that Beyoncé is pregnant again and she is the one who isn't going to be in the Clint Eastwood film.

Yeah, I didn't want to give credence to the pregnancy rumors. I was just questioning the Clint Eastwood movie part.

Pregnancy Fitness: Gwyneth Paltrow, Tracy Anderson, Christy Turlington Spill Secrets

 

 

Given how exhausting our lives are, it's an accomplishment to fit in a regular exercise routine. So imagine keeping up a regime when you're nine months pregnant. Sound impossible? It's not, according to celebrity trainer Tracey Anderson and her "momshell" devotees, including professional beautiful people Christy Turlington, who frequents her New York City studio, business partner Gwyneth Paltrow and new mom and client Molly Sims.

 

HuffPost Healthy Living caught up with these famous moms at an event to celebrate the launch of Anderson's "The Pregnancy Project" -- a fitness system for pregnant women in each month of pregnancy. The DVDs will support maternal health worldwide, donating $5 of each purchase to Christy Turlington Burns' advocacy project, Every Mother Counts.

 

So how did some of the world's most famous moms stay fit during and after pregnancy? Read on for tips straight from their lips:

 

On working out while pregnant:

 

"It's very important to move when you’re pregnant. Well, if you’re sick you have to lie in bed -- I did!" said Paltrow, mother to Apple, 8, and Moses, 6, with her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. "But as long as you’re okay to get up and at least walk and really try to keep blood circulating.”

 

"Look, you can’t do as much," said Sims, who gave birth to son Brooks just 3 1/2 months ago. "For me, I got pregnant on my honeymoon, so I’d just gotten into fabulous shape [for the wedding] and then you start all over again. So you know, you see the scale go up instead of down and that’s a little frustrating. I think it's just, you know, dealing with becoming winded, really being exhausted, trying to do arm work while you’re nauseated."

"You know, give yourself a break. Nobody knows what it's going to feel like as a mom until it happens," said Turlington Burns, mother to daughter Grace, 9, and son Finn, 6, with her husband, the director and actor Ed Burns. "I don’t think there should be that kind of pressure. I think we should forgive ourselves. It's important to feel rested and to get back to yourself internally before you care about what you look like externally. But I think eventually, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have the life you had before kids in terms of physical activity. It’s empowering to feel good and to feel like, 'Yeah, I brought you into the world and I still look good.'"

 

"My number one thing is that I'm a big breastfeeding advocate," said Anderson, who gave birth to daughter Penelope four months ago and who also has a 14-year-old son, Sam. "The body will naturally pull back a lot from breastfeeding. But then, once your doctor releases you to work out, then you can use all those joints that have been relaxed to move around. But make sure that they do not start to work out before the doctor says its okay, even if they feel like it. There were some things [said] about me: that I got my body back in six weeks. Not true. I didn’t move a muscle for six weeks."

 

"I think the biggest motivating factor getting back into shape is that I want to fit into my clothes!" said Sims. "I don’t fit into anything. I fit into like 10 things -- that I want to burn.”

 

On the importance of fitness for maternal health:

 

"Pregnancy, as wonderful as it is, makes us very vulnerable," said Turlington Burns. "It just does. It makes us susceptible to gestational diabetes, preclampsia, things that are harmful. So the better foundation you have going in, the more healthy you’ll feel and the better outcome you’ll have with the delivery and the baby."

 

On the global mission for maternal health:

 

"As I was creating this program, I was thinking, 'This is such a luxurious item for women to have, this thing to help them keep their butts in shape,'" said Anderson. "And my friend Christy has this amazing charity where she helps women who don’t even have basic access to care. We are talking women who are 10 miles from the closest natal center. Pregnancy was hard enough with all the support and modern medicine that I had. She's fighting the fight that's significant and serious. Nothing is more important.”

 

On working out with your kids:

 

"Physical fitness is incredibly important for overall health and mental health, heart health and cholesterol and everything and I think it's a really important part of being a kid to be active. My son likes to do soccer and kickboxing and Apple’s very into dance and gymnastics," said Paltrow. "Every day after school, we have a little scrimmage together in the garden.”

Yes, but I am too lazy to do this when I come on here before I must tend to my real life:D If someone does speak English and they post something in another language, it would be nice if they just showed the translation as well, most people on this Gwyn Thread understand and post in English:)
