Gwyneth Paltrow Archives

After celebrating the holidays with Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow sent season’s greetings via her latest GOOP newsletter. She wrote, “Happy Holidays everyone! From my heart and home to yours, Gwyneth.”

The 36-year-old actress then gave the floor to a panel of experts to answer the following: “The holidays are sometimes as difficult as they are wonderful. There seems to always be at least one incident of tension, discord or just plain aggression between family members. Why does this occur, especially during a time when we are meant to be loving and generous? Are there any tricks to rising above this kind of reactive behavior?”

Michael Berg, Co-Director of the Kabbalah Centre, answered, “It is important we understand the kabbalistic view of families and the purpose they have in our lives. Each one of us came to this world to transform and to become a better version of ourselves. And it is this very same transformation that brings more Light, blessings and fulfillment into our lives.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney visit Madonna at her London home after attending a Christmas party on Tuesday night.

Earlier that day Madonna met former husband Guy Ritchie to hand over their sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, to him. Their sons are thought to be spending Christmas Day at Ritchie’s Wiltshire home.

Chris Martin recently responded to rumors of marital problems with Gwyneth Paltrow. “I’m trying to think when the last bit of bad news was,” Chris said. “I’m supposed to be getting divorced, but those things aren’t happening, so don’t really count as bad news.”

Gwyneth Paltrow poses pretty with the bag of the season, Tod’s G-Bag, for the Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign.

Mikael Jansson, who shot the campaign at a restaurant in the heart of London’s financial district, said, “[I chose the space] because it complemented the elements associated with Tod’s – the luxury, the honey and caramel palette, the sophistication…”

Edward Enninful, who styled the campaign, added, ”We’re showing a bit more leg, the shirts are open a little lower…I think you see a slightly new side to both Gwyneth and Tod’s.”

For Derek Lam, Creative Director for Tod’s, “Gwyneth effortlessly embodies the spirit of the International woman with timeless elegance and modern flair - the perfect representation of the Tod’s woman”.

The new Tod’s ad Campaign will be featured in ads worldwide starting February 2009.

Gwyneth Paltrow has taken to her GOOP newsletter to share her favorite holiday menus

She says, “The Christmas morning breakfast/brunch is easy to prepare and has great seasonal and holiday flavors. The Spiced Pumpkin & Walnut Bread has become one of my favorites, I could eat the whole loaf. Make it and serve it warm in the morning. The frittata is really wonderful and you can use any ingredients you like, just follow the basic technique. Here I use sweet potatoes, shallots and goat cheese, but feel free to dream up your own combo. The biscuits are a healthier version of the good ole’ southern version but are just as tasty. You can scramble an egg, add one of the homemade sausages, stick ‘em in the fresh warm biscuit and, to quote a line from the epic eighties film Sixteen Candles, “Wha-lah, breakfast is ready!”

Gwyneth Paltrow and her trainer pal Tracy Anderson are featured in the latest issue of Gotham Magazine. Here are some of Gwyn’s interview highlights:

Is there a character you’d love to play but haven’t? I’d love to do [Chekhov’s] The Three Sisters; I look forward to doing Blanche DuBois [in A Streetcar Named Desire] on stage someday. I’d really like to do a musical. And I’d like to do SNL again. I liked doing that.

Do you think you’d collaborate with your husband, maybe do a duet? No, no, no, no.

How about Madonna? I don’t think so. I don’t think the acting/recording thing really works. Maybe if you’re an urban act, but I’m not sure it works if you’re an actor.

What were your favorite things about growing up in New York? Underage smoking on stoops of brownstones, going to museums, the seasons, and how great a school Spence (a private girls’ school) was—how well they prepared me for life.

Gwyneth Paltrow spends Thanksgiving with Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon at a party thrown by British architect Richard Rogers (neon green shirt and bright blue Crocs) at his Chelsea home in London on Thursday.

Also spotted at the party was Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi’s ex-husband, Indian-British novelist Salman Rushdie and presumably one of his sons.

Gwyneth Paltrow would like to wish you all a Happy Turkey Day!

In her latest GOOP newsletter, the 36-year-old actress shares “six different perspectives on what it means to be grateful for Thanksgiving” from Cynthia Bourgeault (Episcopal priest), Michael Berg (Co-Director of the Kabbalah Centre), Deepak Chopra (President of the Alliance for A New Humanity), Dennis Genpo Merzel (founder of an international Zen community), Kabir Helminski (Co-director of The Threshold Society) and Dr. Karen Binder-Brynes (NYC psychologist).

Here’s a snippet of Berg’s quote: “There is an important Kabbalistic concept that states that we are only receiving a small percentage of the joy and fulfillment all these things can give us. Whether it’s the joy we feel with our spouse or friends, or the happiness and love we feel towards our kids, right now, at this moment, our experience can be many times greater than what it is (even if it’s already good). This is because our joy and fulfillment is dependent and exactly correlated to our appreciation of these blessings… More energy, and therefore fulfillment, can be flowing to us – when we strengthen and grow our gratitude. Appreciation and giving thanks actually unlocks more Light and energy from relationships and even physical objects, so that in turn, we can receive more fulfillment from them.”
