Well, if we believe Chris, the last decision to cut his hair before MX release came from Will. He told him people wouldn't take him seriously with long hair.

Gwyneth Paltrow, actress-turned-lifestyle guru, has become the target of media criticism for a new gluten-free, sugar-free cookbook, It’s All Good. The book’s description begins with Paltrow recounting a time when she felt light-headed and feared she was “having a stroke,” according to Business Insider. The episode, which the New York Post suspected was just a migraine and panic attack, led the actress to start an “elimination diet” at the recommendation of her doctor. Paltrow cut out coffee, alcohol, dairy, eggs, sugar, shellfish, deep-water fish, wheat, meat, soy and processed foods. However, the actress was concerned that mealtime would be boring because of so many restrictions, and as a result, together with food writer Julia Turshen, she compiled a collection of 185 recipes that followed her doctor’s guidelines. Not everyone has been impressed so far, particularly the New York Post, which described Paltrow’s cookbook as reading “like the manifesto to some sort of creepy healthy-girl sorority with members who use beet juice rather than permanent marker to circle the ‘problem areas’ on each other’s bodies.” “It’s All Good seems to take laughable Hollywood neuroticism about eating to the next level,” the Atlantic Wire noted. Paltrow, an Academy Award-winning actress, has gotten a lot of flak in recent years for her roles away from the big screen as a foodie and lifestyle guru. She took a culinary tour of Spain with Mario Batali — where she declined to eat the ham for which the country is famous, according to the New York Post. She also launched a high-end lifestyle website, Goop, which earned sarcasm over its recommended cleanses and $750 sneakers. However, Paltrow’s last cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, “wasn’t totally lambasted by the press,” according to the Atlantic Wire. And NPR said: “Gwyneth Paltrow may be an unlikely domestic goddess, but her cookbook mostly delivers on the promise of its subtitle: delicious, easy recipes celebrating family and togetherness.” Business Insider pointed out that it was “a critical and commercial success.” And as one Guardian food writer noted, maybe the haters are just gonna hate: “Casting Paltrow in the role of the neurotic celeb, selfishly inflicting her own faddy and dangerous eating habits on her poor starved offspring, has undeniable appeal,” Joanna Blythman wrote in defense of the dietary restrictions in It’s All Good. ”But Paltrow has a point.” Maybe it’s just time to decide for yourself. If you’re looking to get your hands on Paltrow’s latest project – and finding out more about the low-carb, gluten-free diet she’s put her two kids on – you’ll have to wait until the book’s April 2 release date.

Great find! Thx. I'm so glad they worked things out and now he's got his role in the band, a good position that doesn't put a strain on their relationship. The whole band is so fond of Phil and I can see why. PS. I didn't realize that Phil is also from Devon. I only knew they met at school in Dorset.

Why Gwyneth Paltrow's no-carb diet for children makes perfect sense Gwyneth Paltrow has been castigated for saying she avoids feeding her children carbohydrates, but she's right: we don't need to eat starchy carbs at all, says Joanna Blythman Gwyneth Paltrow has provoked the wrath of the dietetic establishment by saying that she avoids feeding her children bread, rice and pasta, because she believes that these carbohydrate foods aren't good for them. Paltrow was writing in her new low-carb, gluten-free cookbook, It's All Good, which is out in April, and whose recipes are said by her publisher to "form the basis of the diet Gwyneth goes back to when she's been overindulging, when she needs to rebuild, or lose weight." What to Eat: Food that's good for your health, pocket and plate by Joanna Blythman Buy it from the Guardian bookshop Search the Guardian bookshop Tell us what you think: Star-rate and review this book Dieticians who subscribe uncritically to government nutritional guidelines have been wheeled out to testify to how 'vital' carbohydrate is in the diet, and warn in the bleakest terms of the dangers of restricting it. Paltrow is putting her children, aged eight and six, "at risk of nutrient deficiencies", warns one. Her children "won't be able to think straight as their brain won't be functioning", says another. In the same Daily Mail piece, it is even observed that Paltrow's children are thin – shock horror! – as if this was automatically cause for concern. So accustomed are we to the sight of overweight children, thin ones are beginning to look unusual. Casting Paltrow in the role of the neurotic celeb, selfishly inflicting her own faddy and dangerous eating habits on her poor starved offspring, has undeniable appeal, especially for those of us who aren't rich or pretty and who struggle daily with our own excess weight. The New York Post says: "The book reads like the manifesto to some sort of creepy healthy-girl sorority." But Paltrow has a point: no one, not even a child, actually "needs" to eat carbs. Now, this may sound counterintuitive. That familiar notion of "[basing] your meals on starchy foods" is currently a central plank of public health advice. But this orthodoxy is under attack from influential researchers and nutritionists. The fact of the matter is that there are no nutrients (vitamins, minerals, micronutrients) in starchy carbohydrate foods that we can't get elsewhere, and often in a superior form. Of course, the processed food industry works ceaselessly to convince us that we must eat highly refined starchy foods, such as breakfast cereals and white bread, trumpeting that they give us energy. But all food gives us energy. Contrary to what we have been led to believe, there is no dietary "need" to eat starchy carbohydrates at all. Now if Paltrow was to starve her children of protein, then social workers could quite legitimately come knocking at her door. We are made of protein. Our bodies require it to build and repair muscles and tissue. But we have no absolute requirement for carbohydrate. It is only in recent times that starchy foods have been presented as health foods. For much longer, they have been seen as fattening foods. Why do farmers feed their livestock on grains? To plump them up for market. For half a century we have been told to avoid saturated fat, even though there is no good evidence that fat is inherently fattening. By diligently avoiding it, we have ended up replacing whole, unprocessed foods, such as red meat and butter, with starchy carbs of the highly refined and processed sort, often containing added sugar. Net result? We're getting fatter. The problem with sugar, and starchy refined carbs, is that the surge of energy they give you is shortlived. Like newspaper ignited with a match, refined carbs burn up quickly, producing a sharp spike in blood sugar level that encourages our bodies to produce insulin, the fat storage hormone, so encouraging weight gain. Unlike protein and fat, which give a longer, slower, steadier release of energy, when our blood sugar level crashes after eating carbs, our appetite is unsatisfied and we crave more food. This is probably what Paltrow means when she writes in her book: "Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains … we're left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs". Fruit and vegetables are, of course, carbohydrates, and do contain natural sugar. However, they also contain micronutrients, notably fibre, that slow down the rate at which sugar is released in the blood. The same applies to whole, unrefined carbohydrates, such as brown rice. What's more, the general effort required to chew fruit, vegetables and whole grains puts a natural brake on how much we can eat. But it's easy to overeat refined carbs, the kind Paltrow avoids. If the daily diet in the Paltrow household includes protein (fish/meat/eggs/pulses), unprocessed fats (butter/olive oil), plenty of vegetables and some fruit, then it is healthy, nutrient-rich and lacking in nothing. If that's what the Paltrow kids eat, she's doing them a favour. Yes, children do have slightly different nutritional requirements from adults: they need more fat and protein. But filling their plates with empty calories in the form of white pasta, bread and rice is no nutritional kindness. • Joanna Blythman is the author of What To Eat (Fourth Estate, £9.9 http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2013/mar/13/gwyneth-paltrow-no-carb-diet-perfect-sense

Tiger Balm! Yes, the oracle said Chris smells like Tiger Balm.

Grrrr He's been having cereal with milk for breakfast. We have tea, we'll pick up honey and lemon juice later on when I pick him up from rehearsal. TYVM

As a Catholic, I'm very optimistic about the possibilities. Perhaps my church will get out of politics and go back to our initial mission of caring for the poor.

Now I know a little bit of what Chris and other singers go through. My 17 yr old is in a musical, Anything Goes. They've been practicing intensely for the past 2 weeks. Opening night is tomorrow and he has lost his voice. I don't know what he'll do.

We really won't know what she's actually said until the book comes out. These gossip rags print things out of context. PS. I know that Novak Djokovic has become almost unbeatable in tennis since he went gluten free, so I'm impressed Chris is on the same diet. No wonder he has all that energy. I actually have 2 friends who have serious gluten allergies. Planning a meal for them is always a riot.

'We're left with that specific hunger': Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she starves her children of carbohydrates By Daniel Bates PUBLISHED: 12:20 EST, 12 March 2013 | UPDATED: 12:22 EST, 12 March 2013 Comments (0) Share She has tried the macrobiotic diet, the kale and lemon cleanse and only eating salad for days on end. But now Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted that she has begun inflicting her obsessions with food on her own children - by starving them of carbohydrates. Miss Paltrow, 40, said that that she avoids feeding pasta, bread or rice to Apple, eight, and Moses, six, because it is bad for them, even though they are left ‘craving’ the food. Her decision was based on the fact that everyone in her house - including husband Chris Martin - is supposedly intolerant of gluten, dairy and chicken’s eggs.

Gwyneth Paltrow's stroke scare: I thought I was going to die GWYNETH Paltrow admits she thought she 'was going to die' during a terrifying health scare at her London home in 2011. The Hollywood actress was having lunch with friends in her garden when she was hit by searing head pains - and Gwyneth thought she was having a stroke. Doctors later found Gwyneth had suffered a migraine and a panic attack, and she was subsequently told she was "severely anaemic" and "vitamin D deficient". The beauty was ordered to change her diet and has written a new cook book, modelled by her new eating regime, called It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes That Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great. The Iron Man star writes: "One sunny afternoon in London, in the spring of 2011, I thought - without sounding overly dramatic - that I was going to die. "I had just served lunch in the garden at home... I had a vague feeling that I was going to faint, and I wasn't forming thoughts correctly... "I got a searing pain in my head, I couldn't speak, and I felt as if I couldn't breathe. I thought I was having a stroke." Gwyneth, the wife of Coldplay star Chris Martin, cut out coffee, eggs, sugar, shellfish, potatoes, wheat and meat.

Well, it seems like he's been training for a marathon. I hope he runs b/c the cameras will be all over him and we'll see more of him.

TY for Marie Christelle, Chris. My God daughter has Lupus.

Juno just last night and Winter's Bone last week. Yeah, I do things on my own time. I enjoyed Juno more (8/10) than I did Winter's Bone (7/10). Yet I rate Jennifer Lawrence just a bit higher than Ellen Page. I liked them both very much though.

Spring has sprung in GA. I've turned the heat off since yesterday. 55 degrees F with a high of 61 today.

Not funny. I mean the picture.

Reminds me of Jimmy Fallon doing Chris' accent when they met back in 2001 at SNL. I think I'm going to cut my hair. And Chris was like, exactly, that's how I sounded back then. :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3: [ame=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmac5o_2111112124_webcam]2111112124 - Video Dailymotion@@AMEPARAM@@http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/video@@AMEPARAM@@video[/ame]

When you get excited upon reading that REM is realising a 25th anniversary edition of their album Green, just b/c you think Chris is even more excited about it.

Never seen this before. Thx.:)

Gwyneth Paltrow's Forgotten Pilot By JARETT WIESELMAN March 08, 2013 Every actor has at least one or two failed pilots on the earlier part of their resume, and on last night's episode of The Late Late Show, host Craig Ferguson reminisced with guest Zach Braff about their shared sacked series. VIDEO - Gwyneth Gets Heroic in New Iron Man 3 Trailer "25 years ago, Zach and I made a pilot for CBS," Craig said on last night's episode before breaking out a cast photo from High, their unaired 1989 pilot. "It gets better," Braff continued, "look at the gorgeous woman next to him," he said of 17-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow, who, like Zach, was making her acting debut. Then, Craig unearthed a clip from High, which reveals exactly why CBS didn't take the pilot to series.
