Gwyneth Paltrow seen on May 15 2012 in London, England. Gwyneth Paltrow was photographed at London's Heathrow Airport on May 15, seeming to be in good spirits as she did her best to avoid the paparazzi. For her casual airport ensemble, Gwynie started with a pair of classic skinny jeans (get the look with William Rast's Kara Skinny Jean in Dresden) and then wore a long sleeve purple tee (try Splendid's 3/4 Sleeve Henley Top in Wave) under a fitted grey blazer (like Jenny Han's Cotton Denim Jacket). Accessory wise, GP added on a few layered necklaces, a silver watch, a black leather tote, a pair of light grey suede boots, and a pair of black sunnies (Ray-Ban's New Wayfarer in Black are similar and so timeless) to her look. What are your thoughts on this simple look from GP... is this one that you would wear to the airport? In other Gwyneth news, the blonde actress (in addition to all of Hollywood, it seems) has spoken to Amanda de Cadenet, the host of Lifetime's 'The Conversation' talk show, about all sorts of interview-related topics. When asked who she would like to have a prolonged, spirited discussion with, GP replied: "My husband. It would be really cool. I'd ask him a bunch of questions." She was also asked what the most annoying question she is asked on interviews, and said: "I can't think of a specific question, but I guess it's when people haven't done their homework. And when they're asking you very obvious things." That would be annoying to be asked the same obvious questions over and over in interviews, don't you think?

Says Cameron: "Gwyneth reached out after my dad's death. It was very sweet. We bonded on that. She and her husband (Coldplay's Chris Martin) are exceptional people." How sweet!

Salvage's Racerback Tank in Denim), and then slipped into a pair of white skinny jeans (just like 7 For All Mankind's Skinny in Clean White). On the accessories front, Gwynie added on a pair of aviator sunglasses, a horn necklace (check out Ettika's Horn Braided Deerskin Chain Tassel Necklace in Light Brown), a neon green wallet, and a pair of beige sandals for her shopping excursion. Personally, I think Gwyneth looks amazing here... what are your thoughts, everyone? In other news, Gwynie recently revealed several of her skin secrets on her Goop blog, saying: "This Works is a British brand that mixes in natural, high-quality ingredients into all of its formulas. Their No Wrinkles Get Started is a little anti-ageing starter pack with a super moisturiser and an active anti-wrinkle serum. They also do a lavender infused relaxing bath gel that I love, an excellent oil for dry legs and a super rich moisturiser which I use." In addition to the products, Gwyneth said that another one of her secrets is one that we can all relate to: "For me, sleep is a major thing. I don't always get it, and when I don't, I look like I've been hit by a truck." Sleep and water are definitely two of the most important things!
Gwyneth Paltrow seen on Nov 28 2011 in London, England. Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted strolling through Heathrow Airport in London on earlier today, November 28, and was heading home after spending Thanksgiving in the UK. Gwyneth tweeted about her Thanksgiving food fest in London, saying: "Hobbling into bed after way too much deep fried turkey, gravy, biscuits, [brussels] sprouts, etc. I gave London a soul food whipping.

She continues, "I think I've had a lot of opportunity lately to express my real self, my more humorous side, my more open side. It's been a nice change." What do you think, did you ever think of Gwyneth as being "cold"?
Gwyneth Paltrow seen on Nov 17 2011 in Beijing, China. Gwyneth Paltrow made an appearance at Coach’s 70th anniversary event that was held at the Iberia Center for Contemporary Arts in Beijing, China on November 17, rocking an interesting design from Stella McCartney. Gwynnie's unique dress featured a graphic blue and white pattern with a one-arm silhouette, causing Celebuzz to title an article "Gwyneth Paltrow’s Crazy Cut-Out Dress: Yay or Nay?" The article went on to say: "With an abstract blue pattern and an awkward cutout around her right neck and shoulder, the dress seems a little… lopsided. Is this look fun and flirty or is it just a flop?" I'm on the fence here... the dress is just really strange. What do you think, readers? If you're interested in trying out a one-arm silhouette, take your pick between Carter's Monet's Martini Mini in Black/Print and Alexia Admor's Long Sleeve One Shoulder Sequin Dress in Midnight. From there, Gwyneth accessorized with a pair of strappy black sandals (like Plenty by Tracy Reese's Zac Sandal in Black and Coach's Madison Clutch. To add a vibrant pop of color to your next ensemble, why not try a bright red clutch instead of basic black? Julie K Handbags' Callie in Red Cobra is ideal. Are you into this look on Gwynnie, everyone... or should GP should have returned this dress to her designer BFF sender?

While the magazine claims that "one witness at the Maidstone Club says that Gwyneth is sweet to staffers, another source says Paltrow is anything but." The insider reveals: "After a friendly traveler gave Paltrow's housekeeper a lift from a bus stop to her home, the actress reprimanded the driver. Gwyneth was mad that the maid showed strangers where she lived. Gwyneth said, 'Please don't give my maid a ride again!'" Say what? It turns out that GP's rep completely denies the story, saying: "Her housekeeper has a car, and Gwyneth would never say something like that." Do you think Gwyneth threw a little hissy fit over this, readers?

It's a little scary." She continues, "I had to learn how to play guitar, and I took singing lessons. It was a real challenge, but I felt like I pretty much pulled it off."
