Gwyneth in love with the job? - Dec 12 2007
After taking a three-year break from the spotlight, Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow has apparently returned to work because she missed her job.

Other than a small role in February’s Running With Scissors, the blonde beauty has been keeping a very low profile.

But according to Grazia, the mother of two and wife of rock-star Chris Martin is now very happy to be resuming her career.

Referring to her retreat from centre stage, the actress confessed: "When my son was six months old, I did miss expressing myself through acting."

And Gwyneth, who has starred in a string of hit movies - Shakespeare In Love, The Talented Mr Ripley and Sliding Doors, to name but a few - clearly enjoyed her work.

The 35-year-old admitted: "My job is incredible. It’s so much fun. So I waited until he (Moses) was a year and then I did Iron Man. I was glad that I waited and had that time at home with my kids."

Gwyneth will shortly be seen in January’s romantic comedy The Good Night and comic book adaptation Iron Man which is due to be released in May.

Gwynnie Blames Brad For Paps - Aug 20 2007
Gwyneth Paltrow has blamed her former fiance Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie for attracting paparazzi to Chicago.

The A-lister has previously said that one of the nice things about visiting the US city usually was the absence of star-hunting photographers.

But it was a different story when the actress arrived in Chicago at the same time as Brangelina and their children.

Gwynnie, who is married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, was there to promote perfume at a Macy’s store, and stayed at The Peninsula Chicago, where the Pitt-Jolie family is living while Angelina films the movie Wanted.

And their presence has meant more celebrity photographers than usual, announced Brad’s Oscar-winning ex. The couple were engaged for less than a year before splitting in 1997.

"When Brad and Angelina leave, won’t they [paparazzi] go, too?" the 34-year-old said. "Don’t you think they sort of blow in and out with the celebs?"

Gwyn ’too skinny’ for Marlene role - Mar 16 2007
Gwyneth Paltrow has been slated as "too thin" to play screen legend Marlene Dietrich - by the daughter of the shapely German actress.

Marlene’s only child Maria Riva apparently said the Oscar winner would have to "put on some pounds" before playing her mum, according to the Daily Express.

"There wasn’t a star in Hollywood back in Marlene Dietrich’s era that was as thin as today’s actresses," she told the paper.

And it’s not just Maria who has an issue with Gwyneth’s size - Marlene’s old friend and actress Grace Bradley Boyd, 94, said studios would not have signed "skinny women" in their day.

"Marlene, Joan Crawford, Paulette Goddard - all of us were shapely. We were what men wanted to see - and gorgeous with it. I think Gwyneth will need some helpings of good old apple pie and plenty of ice-cream!"

But the actress clearly feels she is right to play Marlene, who died in 1992.

"I really want to be Marlene and I will also produce the film. I hope we’ll start shooting in a year or so," she said.
