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." Read more: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/gwyneth-paltrows-star-studded-40th-birthday-party-all-the-details-2012610#ixzz28Y3DvP5H

Geez! What's going to happen when you turn 50, Gwyneth?

."There's great security in looking over at Jonny and seeing he's wearing the same coloured shoes as me," he says. "I suppose it's the same reason the army wears a uniform - so that you feel part of a clan. And when we're all dressed that way, I just feel very much like, it's OK, coz I'm part of this team."

"In my darker days, I think people just see us as the band who married into Hollywood."

I do an hour's yoga and go running every day. Then I see a picture of myself and I still look like a skinny, potbellied idiot - and I thought I had turned into this superhunk!"

Rumors!

But "the other lady" kicks her butt in the gym albeit to make her look good:)

Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Murphy, creator of Glee, celebrate the launch of the Tracy Anderson Method Pregnancy Project DVD series at The Top of The Standard in New York, Friday, Oct. 5, 2012, in support of Every Mother Counts.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Turning 40 Was "Much More Exciting" Than I Anticipated CELEBRITY NEWS OCTOBER 5, 2012 AT 6:30PM BY ZACH JOHNSON 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." http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/gwyneth-paltrow-turning-40-was-much-more-exciting-than-i-anticipated-2012510

So Chris is being Mr. Mom right now. :lol:

Christy Turlington ‏@CTurlington On my way 2 celebrate w/ @GwynethPaltrow & @TracyAnderson the release of the new DVD series "The Pregnancy Project" http://bit.ly/SHFzk7 Is she already back on this side of the pond?

Dona Summer Kraftwerk only b/c the guys would choose them as well.

A man walks into a doctor's and says, "Doctor, I think I'm a moth." "I think you wanna see a psychiatrist," says the doctor. "Yeah, I know, but your light was on."

Ronald Reagan lost 1st debate to Walter Mondale, G.W. lost 1st debate to John Kerry, but they both came back swinging in the 2nd one. Obama was too worried about remaining above the fray. Now he knows it was a miscalculation. Already today, he's gone on the offensive on his stump speech, countering Romney's points from last night. I bet he won't make that mistake the next time around.

Will is known to stay home on such occasions.:)

I think it's makeup. She seems to have a fresher face here. Also, her hair looked messy in some of the Portofino pictures, here it's nice and tidy.

Something is telling me that Jonny could have gone to Portofino if he wanted. I remember Chris saying though that they spend way too much time together in the studio and touring that they really want to be apart when they're not working (paraphrasing of course).

Thx. I know many here would like to know what happened. I checked her last few posts and didn't see anything that would have gotten her banned.

Funny how the photographer doesn't even realize the gem they caught in this pic. Some name Ms. Batmanghelidjh (I love how Chris pronounces her name), some call her unknown, but no one recognizes Jonny in the background?

That's probably why they took extra measures not to be seen.

It seems very unfair that one would be banned from a fansite just b/c they have trouble expressing themselves in English. She had the aptitude to find very beautiful Chris' pics.

I don't think it will be a tough one. People have already started voting and the road to 270 electoral college votes for Romney is almost impossible. That said, he did himself lots of good last night. He appeared very presidential and cleaned Obama clock. The president was way too deferential.

It's a star-studded affair! Hugh Grant and Jamie Oliver arrive at Gwyneth Paltrow's 40th birthday party in London By KIRSTY MCCORMACK PUBLISHED: 02:13 EST, 4 October 2012 | UPDATED: 02:14 EST, 4 October 2012 Comments (0) Share She may like to keep herself and her family out of the limelight, but when it comes to her birthday Gwyneth Paltrow likes to be the centre of attention.

Jamie and Jools Oliver managed to miss the downpour as they walked towards the venue. The famous chef was dressed rather casually in chinos, a checked shirt and boat shoes.
