Same topic but different quotes Gwyneth Paltrow Covers 'InStyle' October 2012 Gwyneth Paltrow rocks the cover of InStyle‘s October 2012 issue, on newsstands September 21. Here is what the 39-year-old actress had to share with the mag: On turning 40 and what she’s learned: “I’m taking stock and really looking at everything. I’m trying to accept myself. There’s a Rumi poem, “The Guest House,” about welcoming in all aspects of yourself: The dark, the light, the jealous, the happy. Let them all in. But know that you’re not defined by any single one of them. I’ve become much more serious after experiencing all the ups and downs of life—heartbreak, the death of people I love…These days I feel pretty grounded.” On why she continues to work so hard: “I’m hard on myself, so I’m working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses. The positive thing that drives me is a curiosity and momentum. The negative is a need to validate myself or feel special.” On her kids: “When Apple was born, she had the hugest blue eyes. I looked into them, and she was looking at me, and I felt like, You are here to teach me everything. After [Moses] was born I had postpartum depression. It was a difficult time, and because of that I believe I have an extra empathy for him, and he for me.” On her diet: “I was very strict for a while. I was macrobiotic for a couple of years, then I got pregnant and just ate ice cream. What I’ve learned is I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it. I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day. I [indulge] but I don’t like sweets. My indulging is a fresh baguette with cheese and a glass of red wine or French fries and fried zucchini. Or a turkey burger.” http://www.justjared.com/2012/09/18/gwyneth-paltrow-covers-instyle-october-2012/?ref=topposts

The referenced Instyle Magazine will hit the stands on 9/21, but I understand it's the UK version. I don't know if we'll have access to it in this country. I'd really want to read the original interview.

I don't know why you and I aren't BFF. :) Running to read that interview for the 100th time. It's one of my favorites and 1 of the reasons why I'm even posting in this thread.

Oh I see! Perhaps envious is the word?

Yeah, and she also said she's proud she made a really good choice b/c he's a great father to their children.

Funny it makes me very happy. Chris and I will never have a chance so I'm grateful to Gwyneth for making him happy. I'd take it very personally if she ever hurts him.:(

I don't think that's completely fair. Gwyneth has told more about their relationship than Chris ever will.

Life Is For Living (the longer version).

On one blog, I was called a Coldplay PR person disguised as a fan.:laugh3:

Brilliant!

Cameron Diaz And Gwyneth Paltrow Visit Wedding Show Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow attended a wedding show last weekend at the Sir Christopher Wren Hotel in Windsor, Southern England. 18th September 2012 Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow gatecrashed a wedding show. The two actresses were staying at the Sir Christopher Wren Hotel in Windsor, Southern England, over the weekend and when they found out The Windsor Wedding Show was being held there on Sunday (16.09.12) they couldn't resist having a look. Single Cameron and Gwyneth - who is married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin - had a look at all the displays and spent time staring at the bridal gowns. A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The girls were chatting away and they wandered in. They perused the cakes, photography exhibitions and bridal wear. They were giggling and aahing at all the displays." After seeing the show, the pair - who became close friends after the death of Gwyneth's TV producer father Bruce Paltrow in October 2002 - then spent the rest of the afternoon together and were even spotted on a hired boat on the Thames. Cameron has previously insisted she isn't too bothered about ever tying the knot, saying: "I'm not sitting there going, 'Oh my god, when am I going to get married?'" The 'Bad Teacher' star is currently in the UK to film Ridley Scott's thriller 'The Counselor' with Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Penelope Cruz, while 39-year-old Gwyneth lives in London with her husband Chris and their two children, Apple, eight, and son Moses, six. Cameron has dated a string of famous men over the years, including New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez, Justin Timberlake and Jared Leto. http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/Cameron+Diaz-257582.html

True! But I think he was pleasantly surprised as well. Who'd have thunk that Gwyneth Paltrow would focus on understanding than being understood? Certainly not the papers!

She's been very busy. She's supposedly the Instyle Magazine (US) Octobre 2012 Cover Girl. http://sassisamblog.com/2012/09/17/gwyneth-paltrow-is-the-lady-in-purple-for-instyle-magazines-october-2012-cover/

I can just see Chris making her laugh! I'm a stranger yet laugh my head off at his jokes. Can you imagine living with him?

'I only let my children watch TV in French or Spanish': Gwyneth Paltrow reveals strict parenting for Apple and Moses By NADIA MENDOZA PUBLISHED: 13:09 EST, 17 September 2012 | UPDATED: 14:24 EST, 17 September 2012 It's no secret that Gwyneth Paltrow flies the flag for healthy living. But it seems her outlook on life has gone a little far as she projects strict parenting on her children. The Talented Mr Ripley actress has revealed that she only allows eight-year-old daughter Apple, and son Moses, six, to watch television in French or Spanish instead of their native English. Speaking to InStyle magazine, the mother-of-two said Apple was 'cross' as 'I only let them watch TV in French or Spanish'. She added: 'When I'm in France, I go to [boulevard] Beaumarchais and buy all their cartoons.' The 39-year-old also spoke about her own draconian diet, and while she has eased the macrobiotic lifestyle, she still considers a cheese-topped French stick and glass of wine to be 'indulging'. Gwyneth said: 'I was very strict for a while, I was macrobiotic for a couple of years, then I got pregnant and just ate ice cream. 'What I've learned is that I want to enjoy my life, and food is a big part of it. I love to cook and feed people. I cook every day. 'My indulging is a fresh baguette with cheese and a glass of red wine or french fries and fried zucchini. Or a turkey burger.' During the interview, which was conducted by designer Diane von Furstenberg, the Oscar-winner also touched on her marriage to Chris Martin and hinted why it is still going strong after nine years. She credited their friendship as the 'easiest' thing between them, saying they laugh a lot and share the same taste in music, before bravely discussing the hardships too. Highlighting their differences, Gwyneth said: 'Probably our artistic temperaments. Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write. The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging.' She added: 'I focus more on understanding than being understood.' And it seems Gwyneth may even let off a little steam in the therapist's office, as when the blonde was asked why she continues to work so hard having already achieved such a high level of success, it was unclear if she was joking when she quipped: 'You can call my shrink on that one.' She continued: 'The positive thing... is curiosity and momentum. The negative is a need to validate myself or feel special.' Last week, the fashionista was crowned People magazine’s World’s Best Dressed Woman, while Emma Stone won Best Red Carpet Style and Kate Middleton was crowned with Best Classic Style. Still a force on the silver screen, Gwyneth is currently reprising her role as Virginia 'Pepper' Potts opposite Robert Downey Jr for the Iron Man sequel, as well as filming Pablo Picasso biopic 33 días. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2204640/Gwyneth-Paltrow-reveals-strict-parenting-Apple-Moses.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

They'll be in Auckland, NZ on the 10th so the answer is no.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr It's one of those where you get to vote multiple times.

His inspiration can only mean Chris', the blonde beauty OTOH can be either :lol:

Gwyneth Paltrow: I won't work with Chris Sunday, 16 September 2012 Gwyneth Paltrow doubts she will ever collaborate on music with her husband. The Hollywood actress sings as well as acts. Gwyneth is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and although there have been whispers about the pair teaming up on a musical number, Gwyneth insists that will probably never be the case. "I don't think so. He does his job, I do my job, we have the kids..." she trailed off in an interview with the UK edition of OK! magazine. Chris is constantly creating ideas for new music projects. The blonde beauty says the household is always filled with his inspiration. "Yeah, he plays music all the time. There's always music around," she smiled. Aside from her acting and singing talents, Gwyneth is widely admired for her natural looks. The 39-year-old star regularly appears on most beautiful lists but insists she doesn't pay much attention to them. "Not that often, but sometimes," she said when asked if she ever looks in the mirror and thinks she's beautiful.

Gwyneth Paltrow would have plastic surgery Sep 16, 2012, 8:01 GMT Gwyneth Paltrow would consider having plastic surgery. The 39-year-old actress says while she has no desire to go under the knife at the moment it is something she may do in the future, although she wouldn't want to go overboard on the procedures. Gwyneth - who this week was named the World's Best Dressed Woman by People magazine - said: 'Everyone is asking me about my thoughts on plastic surgery. Do I look old or something?! I'm not opposed to it but I want to move my face because I'm supposed to convey emotion in my job. But I have wrinkles so I don't know - I'm not going to say that I'll never do anything, but I would always want to look like myself.' Gwyneth - who has two children, Apple, eight, and six-year-old Moses, with husband Chris Martin - also revealed how she won't be taking the lead role in any movies until her kids are older as she wants to spend as much time possible with them. She said: 'I just had the summer off with the children before they start back at school, which was great. I look for interesting, supporting-sized parts. I have not starred in a movie since I had my daughter because I would never see my children and they would hate it. But if I do a good supporting part, it means I go for a few weeks of work ... but then I'm done!' http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/news/article_1703678.php/Gwyneth-Paltrow-would-have-plastic-surgery

Gwyneth Paltrow hosts £9,200-a-head dinner in support of Barack Obama 14 September 2012 Gwyneth Paltrow is co-hosting a London dinner priced at £9,200 per head to raise funds for Barack Obama’s campaign to stay in the White House. Mr Obama’s top strategist David Plouffe was due to attend as guest of honour — a sign of how important London-based money has become in the battle for the presidency. American Vogue editor Anna Wintour and fashion designer-turned-film director Tom Ford are hosting the event with the actress next Wednesday at Mark’s private dining club in Mayfair. Mr Plouffe will also field questions at a policy discussion, with tickets costing £3,000. After winning four years ago, Mr Obama credited Mr Plouffe in his acceptance speech as “the unsung hero, who built the ... best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.” A Democrat campaigner said: “The significant thing this time round is we’re seeing more serious surrogates from both sides coming to London, looking for dollars, dollars, dollars.” Republican challenger Mitt Romney aimed to raise more than £1 million during a visit to London in July. But the price of tickets to a fundraiser in a private house in Mayfair was slashed by more than half to £6,200 for lastminute buyers, suggesting his visit, marred by a gaffe when he appeared to question preparations for the Olympics, was not as successful as hoped. Britain is home to 250,000 Americans, mainly in London. The city’s importance was only fully recognised in 2008, when Mr Obama enjoyed one of his most successful one-night fundraisers. Eight years ago River Café founder Ruthie Rogers planned a glamorous fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, only for campaign HQ to scrap it at a late stage. Mr Obama’s campaign raised more than £70.4 million last month, compared with £68.5 million raised by the Romney camp, according to official returns. It was the first time in four months that Democrats raised more than Republicans. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed the President edging ahead of his rival by five points in both Florida and Virginia, two swing states crucial to his chances. He already has a lead of seven points in Ohio, another state both candidates see as a “must- win”. Political experts say the November election will come down to these three plus Colorado, Iowa and Nevada. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/gwyneth-paltrow-hosts-9200ahead-dinner-in-support-of-barack-obama-8139445.html
