Gwyneth Paltrow has been hugely successful with her lifestyle site Goop, which was launched in 2008, but she didn't achieve this overnight. As well as overcoming many challenges throughout its 7-year existence, the 42-year-old actress also had to learn the ins and outs of this business.

Paltrow has found huge success with Goop

"I was a fool. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But I have to say, it's been incredibly rewarding and I learn so much every day," she said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Television. "And we're in a really exciting time in the business right now. It's amazing to be the creative force and also to understand what's going on on the fiscal side and with raising money and all of that. It's very challenging."

Gwyneth Paltrow and her ex-husband, Chris Martin, got the world talking when they decided to 'consciously uncouple' last year and not just because the Hollywood and musical dream team had divorced but because of the strange term that had chosen to call it.

Gwyneth Paltrow confused a lot of people with her 'conscious uncoupling'

And it seems that it wasn't only the world that raised an eyebrow in confusion at the phrase with Gwyneth's famous mother, Blythe Danner, recently revealing that she wasn't sure what to make of the term either.

Although many women can't imagine there being anything negative about kissing Johnny Depp, it appears that his 'Mortdecai' co-star Gwyneth Paltrow nearly found out sharing a smooch with the Hollywood actor was more trouble than it's worth.

Paltrow couldn't stop laughing at Depp's fake moustache in 'Mortdecai'

While appearing on Friday's addition of 'The Rachael Ray Show,' Paltrow opened up about working alongside Depp and his fake moustache that she could not stop laughing at during a kissing scene in the new comedy.

It has been just over nine months since Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband of ten years Chris Martin went through a 'conscious uncoupling,' and now the Hollywood actress is ready to talk about their well-published separation.

Paltrow said she "hit a wall" in her relationship with Martin

In the February 2015 issue of Marie Claire, which Paltrow covers, the 42-year-old star revealed for the first time why her and Martin, who are parents to a daughter Apple, 10, and son Moses, 8, decided to walk away from their 11-year romance.

Nearly a year after the now infamous ‘conscious uncoupling’, actress Gwyneth Paltrow has opened up. Speaking in the February issue of Marie Claire magazine, Paltrow shed some light of her own on why she and her husband called it a day after more than a decade of marriage.

The 42 year old said: “There was nothing dramatic or anything. I had built my life on trying to be all things to all people, and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I really had the sense that I wasn’t allowed to have needs, and I had to prove my specialness or self-worth by doing all this stuff and taking care of everybody else, and I just sort of hit a wall.”

After her 'conscious uncoupling' with her husband of ten years Christ Martin earlier this year, Gwyneth Paltrow has finally left the London home they shared together and returned to Los Angeles, so she is definitely ready for a new start.

Paltrow doesn't understand how women can be so negative about other women

And moving back to the U.S. seemed to be a good place to begin a new chapter in her life because there has been "deep comfort" moving back to California as it is "so familiar" to her, she recently told the February issue of Harper's Bazaar U.K.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Martha Stewart have been at odds for the past few weeks after Steward criticised Paltrow's lifestyle website, GOOP. But Paltrow has finally spoken about the rivalry and claims she is flattered to be considered Stewart's competition.

In further proof that they’re the most amicable of all the amicable exes, Chris Martin has reportedly purchased a new home, across the street from his estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

Has Chris Martin just moved in across the street from Gwyneth?

US Weekly reports that the Coldplay frontman has purchased a 7,700-square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-bathroom home in Brentwood, California, for the pricey sum of $6.75 million. The property is thought to be situated directly across the street from ex Gwyneth, whose mother Blythe Danner is even said to have helped Chris move in.

Conscious uncoupling or not, there may still be hope for Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin – in the friendship department, at least. Multiple sources, including Us Weekly, report that the pair looked completely at ease with one another, when they attended the premiere of Hector and the Search of Happiness on Monday, July 28, in East Hampton.

Post-separation, Patrow and Martin are keeping things civil and even friendly.

The former couple reportedly stuck together throughout the event and the afterparty.

Gwyneth Paltrow has put her foot in her moth once again.

In recent months the 41 year-old actress has managed to attract a lot of haters due to several controversial comments she has made. But Paltrow's latest observation is just flat out bizarre.

The 'Iron-Man' star posted a statement on her lifestyle website, Goop, about the intriguing qualities of water, claiming the compound has the ability to feel negativity.

Continue reading: Gwyneth Paltrow Claims Negativity "Changes The Structure" Of Water

Gwyneth Paltrow has yet again found herself in the midst of a sea of derision over comments she has made about...well, life. Obviously there was the whole "conscious uncoupling" debacle, then there was the time she compared her internet struggles to real life war and then the constant use of ingredients like "mint flavored liquid chlorophyll" in recipes on her lifestyle blog, Goop.

The latest controversy? It's another Goop goof: after Gwyneth used her blog to announce her split from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, all eyes have been on her online journal for more developments. This time, the 41 year-old Iron Man star talks about "the energy of consciousness" and suggests that water may be a sentient element with feelings.

"I am fascinated by the growing science behind the energy of consciousness and its effects on matter," Paltrow writes. "I have long had Dr. Emoto's coffee table book on how negativity changes the structure of water, how the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it," she adds, citing the work of Dr. Sadeghi, an entrepreneur who has been widely criticized for his theories.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s PR blunder is just getting worse and worse. After Paltrow was slammed by an actual green beret for comparing Twitter hate to being at war, Cindy McCain has taken aim at the actress, too. McCain, the wife of Senator John McCain, who is himself a decorated veteran, had this to say to Paltrow, in 140 characters or less:

Gweneth Paltrow is a joke. Her life is like taking bullets for a soldier. What a joke! My 2 sons serving in the military should talk to her.

— Cindy McCain (@cindymccain) May 29, 2014

Continue reading: More Bad PR: Cindy McCain's Response To Gwyneth Paltrow's War Comment

Gwyneth Paltrow received lots of criticism as of late for her recent controversial comments, comparing online abuse she sustains to fighting in a war.

The Hollywood actress has already been publically slammed by Cindy MCCain, the wife of former U.S. Presidential candidate and Vietnam War vet John MCCain, but now an actual soldier wants his say.

When speaking about being subjected to daily abuse online, Paltrow said: "It's almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanising thing, and then something is defined out of it. My hope is, as we get out of it, we'll reach the next level of conscience."

Continue reading: Gwyneth Paltrow Criticized By Real Soldier Green Beret Bryan Sikes For War Comments

Gwyneth Paltrow’s recent talk at a tech conference earlier in the week might have been completely well meaning, but it resulted in one of the biggest PR blunders of the year so far. When Paltrow compared coming across online hate to the experience of being at war, you can bet a whole lot of people were offended. A quote from Paltrow’s talk, as published by Page Six, goes: “You come across [online comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing … It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it.”

No, Gwyneth Paltrow, it definitely isnt the same thing.

It’s easy to see why people would question this – particularly people, who have actually served in the military and actually fought in real-life wars. One of Paltrow’s most vocal critics was Sergeant First Class Bryan Sikes, who suffered a broken neck and back in a 2008 IED explosion in Afghanistan. Here are some choice quotes from Sikes’ scathing critique, published on The Clash Daily: “I can only imagine the difficulty of waking up in a 12,000 square foot Hollywood home and having your assistant retrieve your iPhone, only to see that the battery is low and someone on twitter (the social media concept that you and all of your friends contribute to on an hourly basis to feed your ego and narcissistic ways), has written a mean word or 2 about you. You’ve hit the nail on the head, war is exactly like that. You should receive a medal for the burden you have carried on your shoulders due to these meanies on social media.”

Cindy McCain is not the only person to have been offended by Gwyneth Paltrow's comments, published on Monday, in which she likened the dangers of internet trolls to war.

Gwyneth Paltrow made the comments at a technology conference on Monday.

In an interview with Clashdaily, a website and talk show which seemingly prides itself on being as butch as possible, Green Beret Bryan Sykes described the horrors he witnessed and endured whilst enlisted in the US military in Iraq.  Surely such an interview would raise awareness of the destructive nature of war, the deep psychological impact combat has on those serving in the military and the reasons behind the conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan?

While speaking to tech site Re/Code on Tuesday (25th), Gwyneth Paltrow chose to liken reading negative comments about herself online to war. Then, days later, Charlize Theron caused outrage when she compared her experiences of Googling herself to rape in an interview with Sky News. Unsurprisingly both actresses' comments have been met with a furore of online backlash with many asking how the two women could be so insensitive.

Charlize's comments have caused outrage in recent days

Paltrow said on Tuesday,”You come across [online comments] about yourself and your friends, and it’s a very dehumanising thing.” Adding “It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanising thing, and then something is defined out of it. My hope is, as we get out of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience."

Perhaps making comments in which you compare the traumas of celebrity with being enrolled in the armed forces isn't the best idea around Memorial Day. But Gwyneth Paltrow wasn't remotely perturbed and blundered through a minefield (sorry Mrs McCain) of press questions at a technology conference held on Monday (27th May). The 41-year-old actress compared the constant threat of internet trolls with the prospect of going to war.

Gwyneth Paltrow compared her enduring troll comments to being at war.

Paltrow was describing the difficulties of seeing negative comments and deliberately hurtful remarks posted online, especially as she is such a high profile figure. The Iron Man actress told the assembled press, as Re-Code reports, how the barrage of comments was "almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it."

The release of Coldplay's sixth studio album, Ghost Stories, is imminent. We already know that the British indie rockers have embarked on a sleeker, more electronic sound for their new record thanks to singles 'Midnight' and 'Magic' but must turn to early critics to find out the verdict on the entire nine song collection.

The Release Of Coldplay's 'Ghost Stories' Is Just Around The Corner.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on whether you take the view that all publicity is good publicity), the new album will land at a time that is a little too close to the very public "conscious uncoupling" of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.

Coldplay spread the love to fellow rocker Mick Jagger Rolling Stones on Monday. During Coldplay’s show in New York City on Monday, May 5, Chris Martin seemed to give his condolences to The Rolling Stones frontman over the death of his partner L’Wren Scott. Scott, who committed suicide in March, had dated Jagger since 2001. From the stage, Martin simply said: “This is for Mick Jagger.”

The song, which includes lyrics like: "When tears come streaming down your face/ When you lose something you can't replace/ When you love someone and it goes to waste/ Could it be worse?" made for a pointed tribute to the tragedy.

Martin stuck up for his fellow musician.

Chris Martin has confirmed that his new single, Magic, was written about the breakdown of his relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow. The couple, who had been married for ten years, decided to end their marriage in March, announcing their “conscious uncoupling” on Paltrow’s website GOOP.

Chris Martin seems to imply that his split was Paltrow was his fault

For the first time since the split was revealed, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has spoken out. In a Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe, Martin seemed to imply that the split was his fault. Martin told Lowe, “What changed for me was - I don’t want to go through life being scared of it, being scared of love, being scared of rejection, being scared of failure. Ever since our band came out, we have been a very polarising group because we do a certain thing very well…About two years ago I was a mess really because I can’t enjoy the thing that we are good at and I can’t enjoy the great things about me because I’m burdened by this - I’ve got to not blame anyone else and make some changes.”

The most shocking break up news of the week goes to Glee star Naya Rivera and now ex-fiancee Big Sean. The pair have called it quits amid rumours of infidelity and Rolex theft. Naya tweeted “@bigsean stealing rolexes from a lady’s house now. Maybe cuz I’m on Glee and making more money or something. #triflin.” Although the tweet was quickly removed, the plot is definitely thickening.

Naya Rivera and Big Sean have called time on their relationship

These others celebs also decided to end their very high profile engagements, although none of them accused each other of stealing expensive watches. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck AKA Bennifer were a bit of an odd couple to even begin with. In 2003 the couple were involved in an extremely high profile relationship, going so far as to co-star in a couple of god awful movies. The engagement was broken off in 2004, allegedly because Ben wasn’t ready to give up single life. Which makes sense because a year later he married Jennifer Garner. Burnnnnn.

So, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin allegedly took their decision to ‘consciously uncouple’ one step further, if that’s even possible. The pair are said to have asked a Kabbalah Rabbi to officiate an ‘uncoupling ceremony’ for the pair, which took place during their ‘break-up-moon’ in the Bahamas.  We’ll ask pretty much the same question here that we asked when Gwyneth announced their split on her website GOOP. What the heck is an ‘uncoupling ceremony’? It sounds like some sort of hippy exorcism.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced the end of their marriage two weeks ago

The rabbi supposedly officiated the ceremony, which the couple chose to have on a beach in the Bahamas. They were instructed to read from a sacred book, light a fire and throw stones in to the sea. The stones were meant to symbolise the solidity of their relationship, while throwing them in the sea represented their “wandering spirits”. We’ve got to admit, as crazy as it sounds, it also sounds pretty Paltrow, so we're sort of inclined to believe there's a bit of truth to it.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced their marriage had come to an end earlier this week.

Gwyneth Paltrow's separation from Chris Martin hasn't just affected their household.

The 41 year-old actress inadvertently made working moms very angry after making comments about raising children with a 9-5 office job.

In an interview with E!News, which took place a week before her and Martin's split, Paltrow insinuated working moms have a much easier job raising children than she does.

We were all surprised when Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced their separation by way of a post on Paltrow’s Goop website on Tuesday evening. The couple, who have been married for 10 years and had two children together announced they were ‘consciously uncoupling’, and thus the showbiz world began mourning another high profile couple. But for Gwyneth a high profile split is nothing new, actually she’s had her fair share of famous romances.

Gwyneth Paltrow has announced her 'uncoupling' from Chris Martin

Before there was Chris and before there was Angelina, Hollywood’s hottest couple was Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow. Although now the two might seem like an unlikely pairing, back in the mid nighties they were the hot couple of the moment. These two set out to define the era for star couples, sporting matching cropped blonde hair and sometimes even matching outfits, (too far). They even got engaged! Although they might have seem like a young Hollywood dream come true, sadly it wasn't to be and they split in 1997 after three years of dating. Gwyneth would later take responsibility for the break up, telling Diana Sawyer ‘My kind of internal stuff really tripped up that whole relationship and I felt really responsible, and also like I was the architect of my own misery … I just made a big mess out of it.’.

We have a sneaking suspicion that it was Gwyneth Paltrow, and not Chris Martin, who decided to label their separation a "conscious uncoupling". Why, you ask? Well, come on, it’s just a Paltrow thing to do.

Gwyneth Paltrow has labeled her divorce a "conscious uncoupling"

The couple have decided to split after over a decade of marriage. We have to admit, we are rather sad about the news, in the world of unexpected unions they stood for a bridging of normality and celebrity, although it turns out that the two worlds really were just too far apart. The pair released a statement, explaining, “It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.”

They moved on to stress that they wouldn't fall out of each other's lives due to their need to be the best parents to their children, Moses, 7, and Apple, 9.

Children of celebrities never have to go to normal schools where the other children will make fun of their wacky names, which means that the stars can go wild when naming their pampered offspring. There must be schools in Beverly Hills teaming with Donatello Zeuses and Princess Bananaramas. 

You don’t come across many Janes or Johns in the celeb baby world, but funnily there seems to be a few Bears going around at the moment. Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone both have sons called Bear, although to set mini Winslet apart his middle name is Blaze, as a reminder of the house fire that his parents first met in. Romantic.  As a side note, Winslet's husband changed his own name to Ned RocknRoll, so we're not surprised that the couple have chosen a name that is a little less out of the ordinary.

You might think that in Gwyneth Paltrow’s household it's her husband Chris Martin who can hold a tune, but you’d be surprised. Aside from her career as an A-list Hollywood actress, Gwyneth is pretty keen to let the world know she can sing as well . Tonight the actress will be reprising her guest role in 'Glee' as substitute teacher Holly Holiday in the show's 100th episode, where'll she'll sing a cover of Pharrell's 'Happy'.  So can Gwyneth sing? Well she's only too 'Happy'  to let everybody hear she can.

Gwyneth Paltrow will guest star in 'Glee's' 100th episode

Gwyneth first let the world in on her hidden talent in the 2000 film ‘Duets’ , directed by her father. Here she sang a rendition of Smokey Robinson’s ‘Crusin’, which would appear on the film’s soundtrack. The song was released as a single and even reached the number 1 spot on the Australian charts. The success was followed up with a cover of Kim Carnes 80's hit ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ which went to number 3. Her next on screen singing spot came in the movie ‘Infamous’, about the life of writer Truman Capote. Paltrow took a small part in the film to show off her singing skills, as a nightclub singer who performs Ella Fitzgerald's ‘What Is That Thing Called Love’.

Remember when Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter said that Gwyneth Paltrow had ‘forced [his] hand’ and that the magazine would definitely run a tell-all piece on the star? Well, in the end...they didn’t. Gwyneth spent months publicly battling the publication, even turning to her long list of loyal celebrity friends requesting that they didn’t aid the article in any way by answering any of their questions.

We'd thought that Gywneth's war against Vanity Fair was over

Paltrow, who is married to Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, apparently wrote to her celeb mates: "If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again". Pretty harsh words there, Gwyneth. We can’t help but wonder what dirty secrets it was the magazine had on her that she was so desperate to keep quiet. We guess we’ll never know now.  Don’t worry though Gwyneth, we won’t do a Jezebel and offer $10,000 for the info.

There’s just days to go until this year’s Oscars and everybody is naming their predictions for all of the big categories. But before you put your money down on what you’ve been told is a sure winner you might want to remember that sometimes the Oscars can throw up a massive upset. Take these 10 cases for example.

‘How Green Was My Valley’ beats ‘Citizen Kane’ (1942)

‘Citizen Kane’ may often top polls as the greatest film of all time, but back in 1942 the academy didn't even think it was the greatest movie of that year. The film about a Welsh coal mining family at the turn of the century starred Maureen O’Hara and took the Oscar over Orson Welles' masterpiece. It also took the Best Director and Best Actor Awards, beating Welles in both categories.
