The Gwyneth-Martins Buying In The Hamptons

Gwyneth Paltrow is looking to spend more time - and money - on this side of the pond, now that she’s buying property in the Hamptons.

Sources say the granola-crunching London resident, and sometime actress, is in contract to purchase a summer home in Amagansett.

This, of course, is a very good morale boost for us Yanks, since the Oscar winner has been quoted as saying that she prefers living in London instead of the U.S. because she believes that Brits are “more intelligent and civilized” than we are. Securityconscious Gwynnie and her rocker hubby, Chris Martin, are in the process of buying a five-bedroom Traditional-style home - surrounded by high hedges - with ocean views, a pool and guest quarters. There’s also plenty of room for the nannies of their two kids, Apple and Moses.

Her broker, Gene Stilwell of The Corcoran Group, would not comment on the transaction, but he does have a listing that looks remarkably similar in description. For some time now, the skittish actress has reportedly felt uncomfortable in her adopted home, and complained about the gloomy English weather and possibility of more terrorist attacks.
