London, Jan 24 : Holywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her musician husband Chris Martin have bought about $700,000 (435,000 pounds) flat here to house their staff.

When Paltrow and Martin decided to create a 33-room superhouse by knocking through into the property next door, many thought that must be the limit of their expansion plans. Dailymail.co.uk reports that the flat is on the other side of their original house, giving them a Monopoly-style hat-trick of properties in the North London street.

The two have an estimated fortune of about $ 72 million (45 million pounds).

Gwyneth Paltrow likes it hot – her salad, that is.

The actress is back in the kitchen giving another cooking lesson in her latest blog post on Goop.com.

This time, she whips up a Vietnamese salad with the help of New York City-based chef Lee Gross.

“This is a great beautiful side salad or an entrée and it’s incredibly quick,” Paltrow proclaims in her video cooking lesson. “I love it. I wanted to learn how to do it because I can come home from work and make it [in] 15 minutes and have a gorgeous, fresh healthy meal.”

The salad packs in healthy veggies like bok choy leaves, Napa cabbage, watercress, carrots and cucumbers, but Paltrow appears most excited about Bird’s Eye chili.

Gross adds the hot pepper after asking the actress how hot she wants her salad.

“I like hot,” Paltrow professes. “You know me.”

She’s previously posted videos of herself making Bibimbop, and Quick Roast Chicken with potatoes and a farmers market salad.

Washington (ANI): Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow was involved in a minor crash on an icy London street yesterday. According to Just Jared, the Shakespeare in Love star was driving through the U.K. capital, which has been hit by a winter storm, when she collided with another vehicle.

She exchanged details with the other driver before heading home, reports Contactmusic. However, she isn’t the only celebrity falling victim to winter freeze- singer Will Young had also crashed his car on the icy roads last month.

Meanwhile, filming on the sets of British soaps Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks has been postponed due to the icy temperatures and snow.

Kiss fires up Downey in Iron Man 2

Published by Gioia in Career . Add Comment - Jan 04 , 2010

Gwyneth Paltrow gives Robert Downey Jr a kiss on the helmet in the first scenes from Iron Man 2.

The new trailer for the film – set to hit cinemas in May – gives a sneak peek at what fans can expect from the comic book sequel.

It certainly doesn’t disappoint, with never-before-seen scenes featuring Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Don Cheadle as War Machine.

Downey has said the new film will stick to the formula that made the first such a box office smash – describing it as a high-tech James Bond.

He says he wanted to make sure the plot of the second film remained grounded and was lucky that, thanks to the success of the first film, producers allowed him to give plenty of input.

‘Once you tell a story pretty well, that’s usually where things start to get dull, and one or two or three things start to happen over and over again,’ he said.

‘So, we made Tony Stark’s challenges very much outside the usual realm of activity. As much as anything else, it’s much more of a side job for him the second time around.

‘It would be so easy to go so far out it would be intergalactic and nothing would be grounded in reality any more.

‘But I think what worked for ‘Iron Man’ is that it almost seemed like something from the cover of Popular Mechanics.

‘These kinds of suits were starting to be made in the States and Japan, so people were responding to Iron Man almost as though it was a more of a high-tech James Bond.’

The film hits cinemas on May 7, 2010.

The first trailer for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2 is expected to drop as early as Wednesday evening and Entertainment Tonight has previewed presumably the first footage from it.

In the short clip, Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man is sharing what looks to be a flirtatious moment with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts aboard a cargo plane in mid-flight. In an instant she tosses the Iron Man helmet out the open bottom and says “go get em.”

A second clip shows Iron Man appear at some huge gala event in spectacular fashion that would make Apollo Creed jealous. The man knows how to make an entrance.

Entertainment Tonight’s full Iron Man 2 exclusive will air Wednesday night so be sure to set those DVRs.

Gwyneth Paltrow & Leighton Meester Saddle Up For Country Film

Published by Gioia in Career . Add Comment - Dec 03 , 2009

LOS ANGELES, Calif. –

Gwyneth Paltrow and Leighton Meester are going country on the big screen.

The actresses will join Tim McGraw and Garrett Hedlund in the country singing drama “Love Don’t Let Me Down,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Tobey Maguire will co-produce the film, which follows an up-and-coming musician (Hedlund) who falls for a country singer past her prime (Paltrow).

When they set out on tour with the singer’s husband/manager (McGraw) and a beauty queen-turned-singer (Meester), love triangles and problems from their past threaten to derail them all.

Paltrow, who was last seen in the early 2009 romance drama “Two Lovers,” will next hit the big screen in “Iron Man 2” (May 2010).

“Gossip Girl” star Meester has two movies awaiting release in 2010 – the college thriller “The Roommate” with Cam Gigandet and Minka Kelly; and the romantic comedy “Date Night,” starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey.

Country crooner-turned-actor McGraw currently stars in “The Blind Side,” opposite Sandra Bullock.

Hedlund recently wrapped production on “Tron: Legacy,” which will hit theaters in December 2010.

Production on “Love Don’t Let Me Down” is slated to begin in January in Nashville.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Holiday Shopping List

Gwyneth Paltrow takes a shot at solving the holiday gift conundrum and offers a slew of recommendations and exclusive discounts on her site, GOOP.com. The actress gravitates toward personalized presents (“What better way to show someone your love?” she says), like Em Tanner’s melamine plates, which can be customized with cartoon portraits of your family members, and that Paltrow reveals “quickly became a colorful basic in my kitchen this year.” The one-of-a-kind framed prints she discovered while shopping at a toy store in Brooklyn, made to order with a figurine in your child’s likeness along with his or her name, also made her cut, along with L.L. Bean’s classic-preppy monogrammed canvas totes—“a must-have on all my trips,” declares Paltrow. And from her own aromatherapist (who also counts Cameron Diaz and Leonardo DiCaprio as clients), of whom the 37 year-old star says, “Every time I visit Dr. Sharon I leave feeling relaxed, bright and new,” there’s a kit comprised of scented candle and fragrant oil, which Paltrow suggests rubbing “on your wrists, behind your ears, and on your temples,” for de-stressing and pampering. See more of Paltrow’s suggestions at GOOP.com.
