Gwyneth Paltrow Detoxes – Again

Originally posted 07/09/2009 11:15AM

Detox diets aren't just for people on a New Year's health kick. Ask Gwyneth Paltrow.

"I am finishing the amazing three-week-long 'Clean' detox program," the Oscar winner, 36, writes in her latest GOOP newsletter. "I feel pure and happy and much lighter."

Paltrow, who earlier this year detailed a detox that she says helped her to shed unwanted holiday pounds, claims slimming down was her motivation this time, too. "I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly [sic] fun and delicious 'relax and enjoy life phase' about a month ago," she writes.

Gwyneth Suggests a Trip to the Projects for Joaquin Phoenix

Gwyneth Paltrow Suggests a Trip to the Projects for Joaquin Phoenix

Gwyneth Paltrow has some advice for her friend and costar Joaquin Phoenix about his new career path: Get some street cred.

Popular belief is that Phoenix's saying goodbye to acting and launching a hip-hop career could be an elaborate hoax, despite his publicist's assertions to the contrary.

"I think that there might be some other explanation or something going on. I'm not quite sure what, but I can't believe that he's really going to quit [acting] forever to become a rapper," she told MTV UK during a promotional junket for Two Lovers. "It seems odd."

Gwyneth Paltrow Defends Her Web Site

Gwyneth Paltrow Defends Her Web Site

Gwyneth Paltrow is taking on critics of her lifestyle Web site, Goop.com, just days after The New York Times published an article questioning the site's relevance in light of a barrage of published swipes against its cardio-workout and pizza-recipe content. Also under attack: the site's perceived omniscient tone.

"I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it," Paltrow, 36, told PEOPLE Wednesday night at a New York City benefit she hosted for Bent On Learning, a non-profit organization which arranges yoga and meditation classes in the city's public schools.

Yet as The Times noted, "many critics find the enterprise fatuous and a bit puzzling." Typical is a query from Toronto's The Globe and Mail: "Why is it called Goop?" its writer asked. "Perhaps 'Any Old Load of Rubbish' and 'Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant' were both taken."

Gwyneth Shares Recipes for a 'Sexy' Valentine's Day Meal

Who did Gwyneth Paltrow have in mind when she envisioned a dinner for two this Valentine's Day? Husband Chris Martin?

Whoever is the lucky dinner partner, the Shakespeare in Love Oscar winner is sharing her tips and recipes for creating a romantic mood and meal.

"This menu was as fun to come up with as it is to eat," she writes on her Web site.

Paltrow, 36, suggests serving up oysters (a reputed aphrodisiac), Cornish hens and artichoke hearts. And what's Valentine's Day without something sweet?

"The molten chocolate cakes are also quick and very sexy, oozing with chocolate on the plate," she advises. "Happy Valentine's Day."

Gwyneth Paltrow Overcomes Her Worst Fear

Gwyneth Paltrow Overcomes Her Worst Fear

Originally posted 02/12/2009 01:45PM

Nearly overcome by a fear of dying last year when she fell ill with pneumonia, Gwyneth Paltrow said the setback reminded her of her reaction to her father's death in October 2003.

The fear, she said Tuesday at Saks Fifth Avenue's 14th Annual "Unforgettable Evening" gala – where the Oscar winner was honored for her efforts to battle cancer through her late father Bruce Paltrow's fund – "sort of swept over me to the degree that I lost my sight for a second and I nearly collapsed."

But then, "I thought of my children and what it would mean to my family," she said. "I thought about the things that I still need to accomplish, and I felt the bitter clinch of this fear wrap itself around every organ in my body until the doctor walked in and told me I was fine."

Gwyneth Paltrow Shakes Off Rocky Marriage Rumors

Originally posted 02/03/2009 08:00AM

Praising her Coldplay rocker husband Chris Martin for his loyalty, Gwyneth Paltrow also says that her marriage is just fine, thank you.

Speaking to the U.K. edition of Elle, Paltrow admits that she cannot listen to Coldplay's "Swallowed in the Sea" "without crying," because it helped her cope with the loss of her father, Bruce Paltrow, whose October 2002 death left her devastated and depressed.

"It's so hard for me to listen to some of those songs," the Oscar winner says of "Swallowed" and "Fix You." As for Martin, "I'm amazed he stuck with me [at the time her dad died], because I was a wreck. I can't believe that he did."
