Gwyneth Paltrow: Chris Martin Helped Me Deal With Postpartum Depression

Apr 27, 2012 09:00 AM

230GwynethPaltrow090311_05_X17.jpgIt may seem like Gwyneth Paltrow has the perfect life, but the Oscar winner recently revealed that he suffered from postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to son Moses in April 2006.

"I couldn't connect with my son the way that I had with my daughter [Apple, now 7] and I couldn't understand why. I couldn't connect to anyone. I felt like a zombie. I felt very detached," Paltrow said on Thursday's premiere episode of Lifetime's The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet.

Thankfully, Gwynnie's hubby, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, helped her realize what the problem was.

"I just didn't know what was wrong with me. I couldn't figure it out. It never occurred to me. My husband actually said, 'Something's wrong. I think you have postnatal depression.' I was mortified. 'No I don't!' And then I started researching what it was and the symptoms and I was like, 'Oh, yes I do,'" she added.

    "We think that it makes us bad mothers or we didn't do it right, but it's like, we're all in this together," Paltrow continued. "I never understand why mothers judge other mothers, like, 'What do you mean you didn't breastfeed? What do you mean you didn't do this?' It's like, 'Can't we all just be on each other's side?' It's so hard anyway. Can't we all help each other get through it? There's a shame attached to it because if you say, 'I had a baby and I couldn't connect to the baby,' it's like, 'What is wrong with you?'"

The Country Strong actress admits "you never totally get rid of it, but that's why I talk about it, because even the awareness of it started to diminish it. because I didn't feel like I'm dying or I'm crazy -- period. It's like, 'Oh, this is a thing. This is a real thing and these are the symptoms and I have them all.'"

LA's Hottest Turn Out In Support Of Stella And Paul McCartney

Apr 15, 2012 09:01 AM

A pregnant Reese Witherspoon, the London-based Gwyneth Paltrow, the reclusive Kristen Stewart and the super-busy supermodel mom Miranda Kerr all put their schedules on hold to support their favorite fashion designer Stella McCartney and her dad Paul at a party in her Beverly Hills boutique Friday night.

So just how was this father-daughter duo teaming up? Stella hosted a party to celebrate dad Paul's new music video for My Valentine. The black-and-white mini-film, directed by Paul himself, was shown in three versions -- one staring Johnny Depp, one staring Natalie Portman and another that merged the two together.

McCartney's BFF, Gwyneth Paltrow stunned in Stella's vegan booties, jeans and a tuxedo blazer. She met up with hubby Chris Martin inside. Coldplay's playing at Coachella this weekend, so the couple is taking a break from London to be on the Left Coast.

Reese covered her baby bump in a stunning black dress and sky-high black pumps. Meanwhile, Miranda wore the "it" dress of the spring -- the Stella swirl dress in black with an off-white blazer.

But beyond the fashion, it was the film that brought these A-listers together. Check out Paul's video -- it's a winner!

Gwyneth Paltrow Slams The New York Times For Reporting She Didn't Write Her Own Cookbook

Mar 19, 2012 10:20 AM

gwyn-paltrow-nytimes.JPGGwyneth Paltrow is firing back at the New York Times after they penned an article claiming that she wrote her cookbook My Father's Daughter with some help from chef Julia Turshen.

In an article on cookbook ghostwriters posted last week, the NY Times noted that Turshen "is writing a second cookbook with Gwyneth Paltrow after their collaboration on My Father's Daughter."

The Oscar winner wrote on her Facebook page, "Love @nytimes dining section but this weeks facts need checking. No ghost writer on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself."

Glad she set the record straight!

Gwyneth Paltrow's white Tom Ford gown is beyond stunning, but girlfriend needs to lose that cape ... STAT!

The 39-year-old Oscar-winning actress was decked out in Anna Hu jewelry and Jimmy Choo platform sandals. Oh, and that faux glo was applied by make-up artist Leslie Lopez. Gotta love that skin by St. Tropez.

Although the simple white dress is a hit, we gotta say that hair 'do is a bit of hair don't. Maybe next year, Gwynnie!

Gwyneth Paltrow Shows Some Skin In Harper’s Bazaar

Feb 1, 2012 01:10 PM

march-cover-gwyneth-paltrow-230.jpgGwyneth Paltrow covers the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, and we can't believe how hot she looks! Sure, the 39-year-old Oscar winner has always been a stunner, but after looking at these photos, it seems like she's only getting better with age.

Though she admits to getting "little things, like lasers" and regular facials, Gwyn claims she wants to age naturally and gracefully. “I’ll take my wrinkles," she says. "I don’t like the Botox thing."

As far as her diet, Gwyn is currently on a detox ("no gluten, no dairy, no sugar," she says), but when she's not cleaning out her system, she indulges herself. “I eat whatever I want," she says. "I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.”

Gwyn also chats about her family life, and while she makes it clear that infidelity is not part of her marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, she will often look the other way when it comes to her friends. "The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get ... I have friends who I love and admire who have had an affair. When I was younger, I would have said he's a terrible person or she's a terrible person. But who made these laws?"

Gwyn continues, "I think you do fall in and out of love and you just keep going, and every time you go through a really difficult phase, you rediscover something new and it just gets better. We've been married for more than eight years now, and we're still into it." Hmm, any idea who her adulterous friends could be?

Chris Martin and his band Coldplay stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss their new album Mylo Xyloto ... and their personal relationships.

When asked about wife Gwyneth Paltrow, Martin's conversation with Ellen went as follows:

    Ellen: You don’t talk about Gwyneth a lot?

    Chris: No.

    Ellen: But you have a great relationship and two precious kids. And we love Gwyneth. She’s been here many times.

    Chris: She’s been a great beard for me now, for 10 years.

    Ellen: Is that right? It’s not really a real relationship? She just pretends that she’s your wife.

    Chris: Yeah, it’s hard to believe."

Nothing like a good sense of humor!

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
