Gwyneth Paltrow isn't greedy when it comes to London's good eats.

In fact, the actress, 36, who spends the school year in the city with her family – husband/rocker Chris Martin, daughter Apple, 4, and Moses, 2 – is more than hungry - err, happy, to share her input on some of the London's best restaurants, pubs, and hotels.

"Moving to a foreign city for part of the year has been incredible and continues to be a great experience,” Paltrow writes in the latest edition of her GOOP newsletter. "When nothing is familiar, you are constantly observing, asking questions and discovering."

Gwyneth Paltrow's first recipes on her new blog reveal that the famously fussy actress eats carbs, meat – even maple syrup.

Paltrow, who turns 36 on Saturday, began her blog, GOOP to share her food tips, style notes and "a little bit of everything that makes up my life."

Now in her first entry about food and cooking sent to fans who have signed up for the site, the actress – who stars in the new PBS series Spain … On the Road Again with her pal Mario Batali – protests that her reputation for only eating seaweed and brown rice is old hat. For four years she was strictly macrobiotic, she acknowledges, but "I am no longer so restrictive with my diet, far from it."

Kiss the cook!

She may be one of Hollyood's most glamorous leading ladies, but Gwyneth Paltrow is most at home in the kitchen – not on the red carpet.

"I cook all the meals for my house," Paltrow told PEOPLE in New York Sunday at the launch party of her new PBS food show, Spain ... On The Road Again, with her best pal Mario Batali. "I really love to cook."

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals: I Just Can't Diet!

Originally posted 09/16/2008 06:15PM

Gwyneth Paltrow makes being svelte look easy, but the actress tells Oprah Winfrey that she finds it nearly impossible to stick to a diet.

"I just cannot diet," Paltrow, 35, says on The Oprah Winfrey show airing Wednesday. "I think maybe it's the idea that you can't have something ... I just can't do it."

Instead of counting calories, the slender Oscar-winner prefers to work up a sweat. "It's worth it to me to do that extra exercise so I can eat what I want and not think about it."

Gwyneth Paltrow: Apple Makes Moses Cross-Dress!

Originally posted 07/09/2008 03:00PM

At 4, Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple loves to play dress-up – and she isn't shy about getting her 2-year-old brother Moses in on the act.

"She makes [Moses] cross-dress," Paltrow, 35, told PEOPLE at Wednesday's launch of Estée Lauder's new perfume, Sensuous, in New York City. "But she doesn't put makeup on him!"

Maybe because she's keeping it for herself: "My daughter plays with anything that's girly. ... She loves makeup," said the actress, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. "She puts on the eye shadow and my high heels. ... She likes to take my tank tops and make them a dress. And then she asks me to tie a rubber band on the back so they stay up."

Kelly Osbourne, Stella McCartney – and of course, Gwyneth Paltrow – were among the 5,000 fans in London singing their way through Coldplay's first live show since 2006.

"Thanks for coming to see us after such a long time!" lead singer Chris Martin told the crowd Monday, alternately skipping, dancing and twirling around the Brixton Academy stage.

Martin's wife Paltrow stayed hidden from the audience (and photographers). She previously turned up at the band's rehearsal-with-friends-and-family-show at Wembley Arena June 13, where she sang along to every word of the 90-minute performance.

Sure, Chris Martin is a big rock star married to one of Hollywood’s top A-list actresses, but he was never a ladies man, he admits.

"I had a tricky time with girls until I was, like, 21," the Coldplay frontman, 31, who married Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow in 2003, reveals in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

"I got trapped in the friendship trap many, many times," he says. "It was like, 'I need to be a rock star because this is no good: Being the kind of guy that everybody likes but no one wants to [sleep with].' "

Instead, he wanted "to be the guy that everybody" has sex with.

Talk about baby buzz! Gwyneth Paltrow is open to adding to her brood – any way possible.

"I may force myself to do it one more time because the result is so worth it," the Oscar winner says in the July issue of Harper's Bazaar. "My mother loved each [pregnancy] to bits; she felt alive and beautiful. I wanted to throw up all the time."

The 35-year-old mother to Apple, 4, and Moses, 2, adds that she's "very open" to adoption, factoring in the expansion of her family with husband Chris Martin.
