Poor thing. Let’s show her what we see, shall we, in hopes of clarifying things for her. While the whole world is pretending to not care that Jake Gylennhaal and Taylor Swift are unofficially official, Gwyneth Paltrow is just acting confused about the whole thing. Let’s not forget she’s won one of the most esteemed prizes in acting, you don’t get Best Actress Oscars for nuthin. But nonetheless, Gwyneth Paltrow won’t take credit for creating the sticky sweet goodness that is The Jake And Taylor Super Alliance Of Cuddles. But she will take credit for serving them dinner. She confirmed that Jake and Taylor joined her and Chris Martin at Coldplay Manor in London last month. When told Us Weekly had reported on the dinner (the magazine quoted a source who said, “Gwyneth seems to have played a role in [Jake and Taylor’s] relationship”) Gwyneth was baffled. “Where is this coming from?” she said when asked about it by USA Today. “I’ve just known Jake for a long time and he’s a great guy, and Chris has a friendship with Taylor.” Gwyneth and Jake starred together in 2005’s little-seen math drama Proof, while Chris and Taylor… do each other’s hair? Chris still has hair, right? The much discussed dinner was on November 13, and Jake and Taylor were first seen together at an apple orchard outside New York on October 23. So dinner at Gwyneth’s wasn’t their first date, and Gwyneth won’t say if she was secretly the behind-the-scenes cupid before that. “Well, I’m scared to say,” she said. “It’s so weird. I wonder how people find out these things. It was a while ago, so I don’t know why it would come out today.” Just like all the butlers, chauffeurs and gardeners don’t know why they would be fired today!

This is almost as heartwrenching as every other breakup story. Here are former, that’s right, former, besties Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow doing what they do best, work out together at Madonna’s personal gym with personal trainer Tracy Anderson. But it sounds like trouble in paradise. How could this BE? They were like Monica and Rachel; two inseparable buds with good jokes, great hair, and a shared belief that a piece of fish counts as a splurge. But, tragically, the sisterhood of the babbling rants between Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow has been torn apart. Friends since Madonna started dating Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie in 1999, the women aren’t even on speaking terms these days, a source tells Us.

“I can’t tell you exactly why they had the falling out. But Gwyneth can be jealous and competitive.”

Basically, the source is saying what we’re all thinking: why? because they’re Gwyneth and Madonna, that’s why. Madonna’s split from Guy and subsequent move from England, where Gwyneth lives, to New York City has been part of their estrangement, the source says. And, this:

“It’s good that [mutual personal trainer Tracy Anderson] doesn’t train Madonna any more. It was too much. She keeps people waiting–it takes up your whole day.”

And Gwyneth, for one, will not be kept waiting. She’s a busy lady. Do you think her GOOP posts on “Sculpt Your Best You In Just Five Colonics!!!” write themselves?

We’ve heard some rumors and mumbling for quite some time now about Gwyneth Paltrow and her marriage to Chris Martin. They’ve been having trouble, not having trouble, over and over again. Well, it sounds like they are back to having trouble, and in an even weirder twist, Madonna may be the one to blame. This will make the third marriage this year that Madonna is being blamed for bringing to an end, if you count her own and A-Rods, so her track record doesn’t seem to be doing that well. But Gwyneth and her hubby, Coldplay star Chris Martin have been having a work induced separation of sorts as Chris has been out touring and Gwyneth has been working, but the two are back home in London and trying to save their marriage. They are trying so hard that Gwyneth even passed up the chance to host New York’s preeminent lunch box auction, an event that she has hosted for three years straight, but Gwyneth gave it all up for the love of her marriage. Where Madonna comes in is that Madonna and Gwyneth have become BFF’s since Gwyneth’s move to London, and reports are that Madonna has a star effect on Gwyneth causing her to act a little loopy since the new found friendship. Sources are saying that Madonna has had an odd effect on Gwyneth, and Gwyneth has become a totally different person since Madonna came into her life. Gwyneth supposedly acts normal until Madonna shows around, and this character change has caused a rift in her marriage. And if they are trying to work on their marriage, they don’t have much time. Gwyneth’s hubby Chris is heading out to tour again with Coldplay come February. What is to become of this marriage? Hmmm….hard to say. But couples that are happy, rarely have splitsville rumors hitting them this hard, this often. I think this is one marriage we can put on deathwatch.

Ah yes, the style icons in Tinseltown have been waiting on pins and needles this week for the long awaited annual 10 Best Dressed Stars list of People Magazine. Hmm….who do you think made the cut? You will probably notice that there are few if any surprises, but let’s keep in mind there are only 10 slots to fill, and yes, I am sure there was some disappointment in Hollywood once the names were announced. Not surprisingly at all, Sarah Jessica Parker hit the list for probably her umpteenth year in a row, and was chosen due to her ‘expert eclectic style’ and I love that. Anne Hathaway has been wowing designers ever since she broke it big in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and she made the cut, along with Charlize Theron, Rihanna, Eva Mendes, and of course Kate Hudson. Heidi Klum hit the list for being ‘Model Chic’ and one surprise I noted was Fergie, who was described as a ‘Refined Rocker’. I don’t think she has any style ‘issues’ per se, however, she wouldn’t make a top 10 in my books. Another surprise came from Gwyneth Paltrow’s appearance on the list, and she was chosen for her evolution in the fashion world this year, having ‘revved up her classic look’ as we see here now less preppy and more in the thigh baring mini dresses and mongo heels. What DID surprise me the most was seeing Michelle Obama’s name appear, and her style was defined as ‘Classy and Confident’ and again, though I am not saying she is not a very well dressed lady, there were a few Tinseltown style queens that were probably a little pouty about being beat out by Michelle Obama. Those pouts I am sure are hanging on the lips of Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes, two infamously impeccably styled women that well….just didn’t make the cut this year. Sorry girls. Better luck next year.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been quite the jet setter these days as she has been touring in a whirlwind frenzy to promote her upcoming ‘IronMan’ flick. And it looks like it’s paid off as Iron Man’s weekend box office opening raked in a cool $98.6 million. So now that she can breathe that stress away, Gwyneth has jetted over to Rome, to do as the Romans do, wear fine Italian shoes. She is the new face for Italian shoe designer Valleverde and has spent the last several days shooting an Italian commercial for the shoe line. The theme of the ad campaign is a star studded paparazzi craze, which we all know Gwyneth pulls off beautifully. Gwyneth is seen here shooting in the Campo de Fiori place, the centre of Rome, and in this scene she is walking with photographers milling around her. During the scene, an actor falls down and Gwyneth appears troubled about it. In another scene, Gwyneth does the red carpet and makes her way onto a horse drawn carriage with the paparazzi milling about. It all sounds very Gwyneth, the limelight is something she definitely revels in. I wonder if we will get a chance to see it here?
