ContactMusic.com A top Hollywood child psychotherapist has reprimanded Gwyneth Paltrow for giving in to her young daughter's demands for pierced ears, insisting she's setting herself up for a bigger fight the next time Apple wants something her mother disapproves of. Paltrow recently revealed she allowed her daughter to get her ears pierced when she turned five after the youngster pestered her famous parents for three years. The actress and her rocker husband Chris Martin initially refused but caved in when little Apple asked mum why her Spanish friends were allowed to wear studs - and she wasn't. Paltrow said, "Our nanny is Spanish, so the kids both speak Spanish and are very much connected to the Spanish culture, and in Spain little girls get their ears pierced when they're born. Apple would see little Spanish girls and says, 'Why can't I have my ears pierced too.' When she was five we let her have her ears pierced." But Dr. Fran Walfish insists Paltrow may have have created a monster by giving in to her daughter's demands. She tells WENN, "Giving in to your toddler or youngster's demands may be reinforcing the very thing you want to get rid of. You are inadvertently teaching your child to fight you longer and harder next time. Parents must create a structure with clear boundaries that reflect their personal family values." Dr. Walfish, the author of The Self-Aware Parent, has also taken aim at Paltrow's cultural argument, adding, "I understand the Spanish culture where, in Spain, little girls get their ears pierced when they're born. But the Paltrow/Martin family is American/British and it's perfectly OK for them to hold to their initial decision to not have their daughter's ears pieced. "It is very important for young children to understand who compiles their family unit. The nanny is an employee who could leave her job abruptly if her personal circumstances change or she's offered a better opportunity. Parents need to define what is comfortable to them and stick to it. "From everything I have seen and read, Gwyneth Paltrow is a good mom. But how she can or cannot be swayed by the power of her child's demands at the young age of five sets the standard for what she can expect during the turbulent teen years." Haaaa, she gave into her oldest child last year, but he had to wait until he was 33:P

No petition..... I'm in Florida and can't get to any festivals either!!! I am just patiently waiting for their normal tour and then I will have a more intimate setting and more opportunities to travel within my state to see them, and possibly outside my state;) The only petition I want is that "Amsterdam" is played on their normal tour!!!!

Rory is amazing.... I loved watching him keep his wits about him, and learning from his mistakes in the last major he faltered in:)

Don't forget people who wished they could go, this is just a Festival, this isn't the tour for the LP, so if ya can't go, cheer up, they will be back in your area.:)

My birthday was last weekend and I got rid of our old High Definition TV and replaced it with a 50inch plasma HD....... Yippee...Just in time to see this:D

lips:wink3::kiss:

Yeah!!!! I recieved my refund, and scored 2 free movie tickets, but not without a **cough** **cough** where's my free tickets???:lol:

I know exactly what your saying Carrie, normally that is true, but this is advertising it as Coldplay:Live from Glastonbury, with no other acts being on the bill, it's 2 hours long which will have commercials, so the entire set should be shown. Maybe this is why the cinema showings were cancelled??? I'm just thrilled this is on.

June 25th at 10pm it will be shown Live from Glastonbury!! Not "LIVE", but you know what I mean:P On VH1 or PalHD.

I have a feeling they are gonna pull a LP then another along the Prospekt's March Release.

DIANNE.............Your totally cheating on me with this Lucy chick:lol:

People will wait to the absolute last few seconds, this will go up a Lottapulooza:lol: by the end, I bet it will be in the thousands.

All I know is that these tickets came onsale in America to select cinemas, and a week later they were cancelled. I believe all shows worldwide have been cancelled. I was told to return my tickets before June 25th to recieve a refund, and they are throwing in some free tickets.

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

:P He is very sexy, I'll give you that:D

:P IN THE WORDS OF CHARLIE SHEEN........WINNING:P

I found todays interview with Will and Guy... Boring.... I love them all, but there is something missing when Mr. Martin is absent. He is funny and entertaining, and always leads everybody in different directions. I feel Will and Guy didn't answer anything new, they were elusive about things as well, Mr. Chris would have at least added some comedic dialog. SORRY IAN:lol:

Nadia, click on the link and then click on the weekly vote icon on the top, then you can vote on Chrissy.

I dunno, but he is losing to some ugly men, especially Matthew Morrison, Blaaa:D

Aw Dianne, we are old in alot of peoples mind here, but age is just a number:P

Damn.... I had 2 kids by then:P

I like how he sings some of the song, then quickly inserts "This is for GP", like he thought, "Hmm, nobody will notice":lol: He either left his dirty socks on the floor, or it could just be a song "GP" likes and they are playing it for the festivals:)

Tracklist Sept. 17th Album release Nov. 8th

Thank-You very much!!! I downloaded them and now am happy!!!

Can anyone point me in a direction where I can download "free" the new songs that are good quality that have been made from the past few 2011 festivals? I want to put them on a CD to listen in the car. I don't know if this is possible, so excuse me ahead of time, if it's not possible to do.:kiss:
