Gwyneth Paltrow to Play Kidman’s Wife in ‘The Danish Girl’

Gwyneth Paltrow is to play Nicole Kidman’s wife.

The ‘Iron Man’ actress has signed on to replace Charlize Theron in ‘The Danish Girl’, an adaptation of a novel about the first post-operative transsexual.

The film follows Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener who found success after Einar stood in for a female model that Greta was set to paint. As their work gained popularity, Greta encouraged her husband to continue to adopt a female guise.

This eventually led to Einar undergoing a sex change operation in 1931, shocking the world and threatening their marriage.

Anand Turker is set to direct the film, which screenwriter Lucinda Coxon is adapting from David Ebershoff’s novel of the same name.

Nicole previously won an Oscar for playing a lesbian in ‘The Hours’, while Gwyneth saw her character in ‘Shakespeare In Love’ disguise herself as a man in order to fulfil her acting dreams.

Last week, Nicole said she actively sought out “extreme” film choices and explored all aspects of love, sex and marriage.

She said, “In the end I hope my life will be a mix of extreme love and bold artistic choices. I’ve never wanted to be safe. I’ve never chosen safe relationships. And I’ve never chosen safe films.”

Gwyneth Paltrow wants to create “an empire”

Bang — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:06:17 +0000

Gwyneth Paltrow – who has five-year-old daughter Apple and three-year-old son Moses with her husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin – is keen to launch a line of lifestyle brands to help women juggle motherhood with business.

A source told FOX411 blog: “She has become a power multi-tasker, so she’ll take meetings while she’s sitting around her movie sets. Gwyneth wants to create an empire, but her first priority is always to her family. She is finding ways to merge the two so that other women and mothers will be able to do the same.”

Gwyneth, 36, is modelling herself on US entrepreneur Martha Stewart.

Martha was a successful TV host, author and magazine publisher before being found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of an agency proceeding, and making false statements to federal investigators. She was sentenced to five months in prison for her crimes.

A source said: “Chris has even dubbed her meetings about her new direction as her ‘Martha Stewart meetings’. Her plan is to stay visible in the occasional film, but to create products for real women.

“She is working on new products for her own beauty line under Estee Lauder and looking at different products for moms at home that she can tie to her website, GOOP.”

Gwyneth Paltrow defends her awful website Goop

Gwyneth Paltrow is unhappy about criticism of her god-awful website Goop.

“I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don’t really get it, because if they did, they would like it,” Paltrow told People Magazine. The magazine said that Paltrow believes the criticism stems from the fact that she’s doing something new and different. “I think that people like people to stay in their ‘box’ – they like people to stay how they are.”

Actually, that’s not it, but where do you start. The longest line of text on the first page is the copyright statement. The advice is at times wacky, and the tone is regularly condescending. As one newspaper said, “Why is it called Goop? Perhaps ‘Any Old Load of Rubbish’ and ‘Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant’ were both taken.” It takes three clicks to read anything longer than a paragraph, despite the site adopting a minimalist look…and I could go one.

Paltrow is a talented actress, but that talent doesn’t extend to the web.

Gwyneth Paltrow Rings In 2009 with Extreme Dieting

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:09:55 +0000

Gwyneth Paltrow’s most recent issue of her ridiculous GOOP newsletter told us all about her post-holiday weight loss plans, which are just as practical as her initial recommendations in September: “Read something beautiful” and “Don’t be lazy.”

Instead of her usual diet of choice, the Master Cleanse, she’s recommended something almost as painful from her “detox diet specialist”:

“As I do not wish to subsist on lemon water in the middle of winter, I asked my doctor, a detox diet specialist, for the guidelines he uses to achieve a good detox that is not as hallucinogenic (in a bad way) as the Master Cleanse,” she wrote. “What it came down to was this: you can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat as long as you are cutting out the foods and other substances that interfere with the detoxification process.”

If you’re going to pull this one off, you can forget about most of what’s offered at the office canteen. I’m pretty sure a diet that cuts out anything processed (including soy), dairy, grains with gluten, shellfish, meat, nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants), sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and condiments will wear on you by about the third or fourth day, but you do get salads, smoothies, chicken, soups, and “lots of water,” reports People. Goodie! You can check out the scheduled seven-day plan here.

Interestingly, Gwyneth told Oprah in 2008 that she “just can’t [diet],” instead preferring to “eat what I want and not think about it.” I wonder how much weight she thinks she gained if she’s trading in the treadmill for a cleanse of almost-Master proportions?

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Marriage: On the Rocks?

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 19:00:18 +0000

Page Six came out with the speculation that Gwyneth Paltrow is facing marriage difficulties and just might be heading to Divorce Town on the coattails of her friend Madonna! She was seen husband-free in Miami for the Victoria’s Secret show in Miami, where she posed it up looking severe and kind of like someone who might not be lucky in love.

The plot thickens because Gwyneth Paltrow has been seen hanging out with the Fontainebleau Resorts owner Jeff Soffer– referred to as “Miami Royalty” by Page Six– and was seen riding in his Bentley, hanging out on his yacht, and getting a private tour of the newly refurbished place.

Page Six reports that “Paltrow didn’t stay at the hotel with other guests, opting to ’stay at a friend’s house instead for more privacy.’ While attending the Victoria’s Secret party and show, she ‘remained closed off in a private section and hung out with Soffer and Madonna paramour Alex Rodriguez.’”

A source added that “If things were so great with Chris, why wouldn’t she be with him?” Exactly!

Madonna: Malawi says No! and then blames her for divorce!

Madoona with David Banda in Malawi

Madonna’s nasty and expensive divorce form Guy Ritchie is going to cost her more than millions. The Malawi Child Services Director has said that Madonna’s divorce will mean she will not be able to adopt Mercy James, the orphan she has had her eye on since 2006.

Madoona has already one infamously adopted child from Malawi, David Banda.

Malawian official Penston Kilembe says the split with Guy, 40, means the adoption cannot be approved.
‘One fundamental condition in scrutinising adoptions is the connectedness of a family,’ he says.

Via Now

The Child Services Director then goes on to suggest that Madonna could be responsible for the divorce? On Guy Ritchie’s payroll perhaps?

‘We can’t approve a child to go into a broken family because the divorce could be the result of the behaviour of the party trying to adopt. Madonna should forget this one.’

We at the Inquisitr agree, every child should have access to a pie and sauce; its a fundamental human right.

So the innocent victim in all of this wrangling is Mercy James. Where are Madonna’s pals when you need them? We are looking at you Gwyneth Paltrow. Your brood is not very multicultural.

Joaquin Phoenix Quits Acting: High School Style

Samantha DeWitt — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:20:36 +0000

Joaquin Phoenix has announced he is quitting acting, by using a texta to write the words good bye on his knuckles, obviously he couldn’t thank god and his agent as he only has 10 knuckles. We think he also may have had his BFF pass studio bosses a note in the hallway at lunch to say he won’t be seeing them anymore.

Phoenix, sometimes known a Leaf Phoenix, was propelled into the spotlight when his brother River died outside the Viper Room owned by Johnny Depp. It was Joaquin Phoenix’s frantic phone call to 911 that hit the airwaves and was played over and over again.

Perhaps most famous for the movie Walk the Line where Phoenix played Johnny Cash, for which he won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar. Phoenix went on to record an album of Johnny Cash covers.

Phoenix is quitting acting to pursue a career in music videos. We think working with Gwyneth Paltrow in his latest movie, Two lovers, proved too much for him.
