I really hope that this is the last gasp of Gwyneth Paltrow’s two-month-long domination of the media. She has been everywhere these past two months, promoting her book and Iron Man 3, being declared People’s “Most Beautiful” and doing smug, humble-bragging interviews like every day. But hopefully that’s all over now? Hopefully Gwyneth will go back to London and settle down for a little bit? Or has she gotten a taste for the Kardashian-level famewhoring and TMI-interviews? Is this what Gwyneth is going to be like from now on? Ugh. Anyway, Goop did a Q&A with Babble and in between referring to herself as a goddess (no joke), she talks about how “the fans” want a Pepper Potts spin-off. Sure, Goop.

Babble: How did you feel when you were picked to be on the cover of People Magazine’s Most Beautiful issue?
Honestly, Steven – he’s been my publicist since I was nineteen years old – and he sent me the email and I was like, “this is a typo.” Like I reread it three times, and then I got this really weird old feeling that my school bully had somehow was playing a trick on me. I swear, I had to talk about it with my shrink. I went through this whole weird thing. He was like, “yes, it’s true.” And I was beyond surprised, flattered, and I still kinda can’t believe it. It’s, it’s really cool.

Tell us about putting on the suit.
I love putting on the suit. It was really weird. I’ve never done anything like that in my whole career, and my son was on set, and so I’ll never forget it; I walk out onto the set, and I was fully dressed in the suit, and his face, because he’s like in the last probably year and a half watched the, the first Iron Man and Avengers and everything- I’ll never forget his face. Like, he was in shock and awe. It was so cool.

Mommy cool?
Oh my God, yes. And by the way, I now have Lego in the set- there’s a Pepper, so I am a goddess. So fun.

How does it feel, as Pepper, to be that strong?
I loved it so much. You know, I was getting kind of like, come on, guys. Pepper, like, let’s- come on, like, all these boys are flying around doing all this fun stuff, and I loved how patient and kind and sweet Pepper is. But when I read this script, I was like, “oh yeah!” She’s in the suit and flying around, and I loved doing the stunts. As I said, I really had never done anything like that before and it was really fun. I felt like I should’ve been doing this my whole life. It’s like, “why am I doing all these period films. it’s so boring.”

What are some of the fun things that happen on set?
The things that I remember from set are, like, my kids learning, like how to drive a golf cart. On a movie, it’s so big and you drive a golf cart from one thing to another and you’re like, “okay, you can drive the golf cart.” And then all of a sudden, they just started taking off in golf carts. So, this is illegal and this is not okay. Or like their Nerf gun fights and we just had, it was just like a fun experience for the family, and they love Robert. They had no idea that Robert was famous until probably a year ago. And they just love him so much and he creates a fun environment, and it was just nice. It was a really nice shoot. When you work with someone over and over again, that you really love and that environment is so familial and the kids feel- everybody feels it really was so great.

Are we gonna see you in more action films?
I don’t know. I would actually really like to, but really, am I old now to start, like, you know, being in action movies. I would like to. The nice thing is that everybody’s sort of been very sweet about Pepper in this movie, like all the journalists who came in. They were like, “oh my God, you have to have your own movie,” because in the comics, Pepper gets her own suit, and she becomes a character called Rescue. They’re like, we need a Rescue movie, and I’m like, okay, well, I’d better hit the gym.

What color would you choose for your suit?
Ooh, great question. Gray, like, silver and white. My favorite colors.

This is something very particular about Gwyneth, have you noticed? She only hears – and endlessly repeats – the compliments people give her. I find that unusual. I can remember most of insults lodged at me throughout my life. The nasty comments and harsh words are burned into my memory and I can recall them in an instant. But it’s like Goop doesn’t even register criticism. She only hears the positive. She only believes the positive. She only repeats the positive to humble-brag endlessly. So of course she thinks she’s deserving of a Pepper spin-off. Of course the critics adore her. Of course she is a “goddess”. I realize she was saying that in reference to what her son thinks about her lego & suit, but she could have said “Oh, he thinks I’m a cool mom.” But whenever Goop imagines herself through the eyes of anyone else, she sees herself as a goddess.

Gwyneth Paltrow covers the June issue of Glamour UK, and the photoshoot is nothing special. But maybe it doesn’t matter, because it’s just GOOP and Goop changes from interview to interview, always spewing different crap. I think it was just last week when she claimed that she really didn’t want to raise her children in London because of the accents. And in this interview, she’s talking about how much she loves London, blah blah. She also admits that she has a nanny (“so if I need to go to Dubai for Max Factor, then I can”) and that her marriage to Chris Martin is not a bed of roses. Some highlights:

She loves London: “I love London – it’s my adopted home. Being an American woman living in Britain, there are things I’ve had to catch up on, though. Chris had to explain Blue Peter to me! In London, the kids and I really take advantage of the city. I have them on the tube, in the museums, in St James’ Park, the theatre. I use that city so much – I want them exposed to it.”

Balancing work and motherhood: “I drive the kids to school, I cook. But I have a nanny, so if I need to go to Dubai for Max Factor, then I can.”

Suffering: ‘I’ve had a great deal of suffering in my life. I’ve lost people – my first cousin, my best friend in a car accident. I’ve had a lot of things happen to me that I don’t talk about in the press. I’ve had a lot of really heartbreaking, difficult things. But all of those things have strengthened my resolve to make the best of my life.’

Marriage problems: “It’s hard being married. You go through great times, you go through terrible times. We’re the same as any couple. I asked my dad once, ‘How did you and Mum stay married for 33 years?’ And he said, ‘Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time’. And I think that’s what happens. When two people throw in the towel at the same time, then you break up, but if one person’s saying, “come on, we can do this’, you carry on. I’ve learned more about myself by being married than anything else. I hate to say, ‘We’ve got it worked out,’ because you never know what’s going to happen, but we laugh, we’re good friends, we like to do the same stuff.”

On Chris: “I’m a very grounded, homey person and Chris is a very mad scientist, genius songwriter. So I never say ‘Where are you? You should be home by now’. I never place demands on him because I think he’s a really talented man and he’s putting something good into the world.”

Her children: “Having children changed everything. I used to work all the time, but if you do that, you don’t see your kids, so I look for something that’s interesting, that doesn’t require me to be in every scene and fits in with my children’s school schedule. Having children is a huge responsibility in terms of raising people who will contribute to the world. The people I’ve met who function best in the world are people with good manners, who are curious, who know different places and speak more than one language. So that’s what I’m trying to do.”

Hahaha, Gwyneth considers herself the grounded one!!!! That explains so much about her life, doesn’t it? Gwyneth is always doling out lifestyle advice because she always thinks she’s the sanest person in the room. Do you think that’s true? Granted, Gwyneth is friends with a lot of crazy celebrities, and I suspect she IS “grounded” compared to, say, Beyonce or Cameron Diaz. But that doesn’t means she IS grounded.

Also, I had to look up “Blue Peter” because I’m a gauche American peasant. It’s a British children’s show.

Does Gwyneth Paltrow still have the ability to shock you? At this point… not so much. For me, the “Goop Too Far” was her story about “everybody scrambling for a razor” when she tried on the Berardi dress without panties. Meaning that Gwyneth now promotes her films by talking about her the size and hirsuteness of her bush. So what was next on Gwyneth’s TMI Tour? A stop on Chelsea Lately, where Chelsea Handler did the heavy lifting and told the audience about Gwyneth’s “advice” to ladies fighting with their men. I’ll spare you the build-up: if you’re mad at your man, don’t yell at him, just go down on him. Goop-Style (Goop-Style = pinkies in the air as you stroke).

She paints herself as a domestic goddess, and once encouraged people to ‘nourish the inner aspect’ on her pretentious Goop lifestyle website. But it seems even perfect Gwyenth Paltrow is not always brimming with such lofty words of wisdom.

In a new interview it emerged the 40-year-old actress, who is married to Coldplay singer Chris Martin, once advised a female friend that oral sex was the solution for women wanting to prevent an argument with their husbands. The Iron Man 3 actress didn’t volunteer this story willingly, but was left red faced after chat show host Chelsea Handler made the revelation as she made an appearance on her show on Monday night.

Paltrow was having dinner with friends, including Handler, when the unnamed woman told them she was furious with her spouse after a huge bust up. But according to Handler, Gwyneth told her to let go of her anger – before giving her the unusual advice.

See, all of this time, I only thought of beejs in peasant terms, as a gift you give when YOU need to get out of trouble. It turns out that all of us should be handing out beejs whenever our dudes piss us off. Which is a really terrible way to exist in any relationship – that’s positive reinforcement of bad behavior. All your man will learn is that he can act like an a—hole and you’ll still give him beejs. It’s like giving your dog a treatie for piddling on the carpet. Classic GOOP.

There were some new photos of Tracy Anderson this morning when I was looking through our photo agencies, and I offered the pics to CB. CB wasn’t interested (she really dislikes Tracy) and she sent me this lead explaining why Tracy was at this particular event. The event was the AOL Digital Content NewFront, which I guess is like an “upfront” for digital content. Yes, Tracy has a new digital series. And she’s teamed up with her BFF Gwyneth Paltrow AND Ryan Seacrest, because how could that ever go wrong?

Gwyneth Paltrow is teaming up with Ryan Seacrest for a new online series. The Iron Man 3 actress – who recently launched her second healthy cookbook It’s All Good – is fronting a 10-episode show called Second Chances on the AOL On Network, produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions, alongside her fitness guru pal Tracy Anderson, during which they will share stories of numerous women who have faced and overcome a variety of obstacles in their lives.

AOL announced they signed a deal to premiere the series and issued a statement saying: “Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson spend time with women who’ve overcome hardship, injury, and setbacks to triumph in the face of adversity.”

“We’ll hear their inspiring stories firsthand, whether fighting back from a career-ending injury or transforming their lives and bodies through diet and exercise.”

American Idol host Ryan, 38, who already produces a number of reality shows including Keeping Up With The Kardashians told Variety.com that he is excited to focus on digital shows.

He said: “It’s a new focus for us, in the context of this company.”

[From Ahlan Live]

“We’ll hear their inspiring stories firsthand, whether fighting back from a career-ending injury or transforming their lives and bodies through diet and exercise.” Yeah. I knew it was going to be something like that. They got my hopes up with the “women who have faced and overcome a variety of obstacles in their lives” description, like the adversities these women faced were going to be something other than “being fat” or “not working out enough”. I’m not saying that the women profiled in the series won’t have legit ailments or troubles or adversities. I’m just saying that the only stories Gwyneth and Tracy will be attracted to will be about “being fat” or “not working out enough”. I’m sure Tracy and Gwyneth will tell these women to their faces that they’re terribly disappointed that they are so fat and they have “disaster bodies”.

Here are those photos of Tracy at yesterday’s AOL 2013 Digital Content NewFront.

If you’ve been following Gwyneth Paltrow’s goopy shenanigans for a while, you understand her pattern of humble-bragging. Goop cannot simply make an affirmative statement about herself and own her narcissism. She couches her self-praise by (more often than not) attributing the praise to a “friend”. All of Goop’s friends think she’s God’s gift to humanity of course. All of Goop’s friends think she has amazing skin, a 22-year-old stripper’s butt, and they all think she has the best diet and lifestyle advice and the best fashion sense. You understand that Gwyneth would never say such things about herself (that would be so peasanty), she’s merely repeating the endless amount of compliments people give her on a daily basis.

Well, during Gwyneth’s endless media tour, there seem to be cracks forming not only in the Goopy veneer, but in public opinion about Gwyneth. I think the Antonio Berardi gown was a Goop Too Far for many people, and then Gwyneth made it worse by claiming she was “humiliated” except she was lapping up the attention and in fact doubled-down on the dress, telling a story about shaving her Goop Muff to wear the dress. Still, I’m sure that everyone around Gwyneth keeps telling her that the dress was fantastic and she looked like a goddess. And thankfully, we don’t have to wait to hear Gwyneth repeat those compliments – her stylist came out and praised her!

Haters gonna hate, but Gwyneth Paltrow is getting the last laugh. The Iron Man 3 actress came under fire this past week after walking the red carpet premiere for her new action flick in a revealing Antonio Berardi dress on Wednesday, Apr. 24. But, according to her stylist Elizabeth Saltzman, Paltrow never looked better.

“Not only was it our first choice, it’s [also] beautiful, it’s cool, it’s daring in a no-daring way. Nonthreatening. Elegant,” Saltzman told Us Weekly of Paltrow’s gown, which featured a sheer side panel that revealed the entire length of her leg, from hip to toe. “It looked great on her … it showed off her body. It’s spirit without being vulgar.”

Saltzman also pointed out that Paltrow wasn’t wearing the gown to nab attention — rather, the Goop founder was only “having fun” with the outfit and showing off her healthy, toned body.

“The point is that this girl has taste, this girl has confidence,” the stylist told Us. “And she’s not flaunting anything but the hard work that she’s put into being a happy body, happy person, healthy person. You don’t see a whole lot of false fakeness going on there like some other people. She’s always classic with a twist, classic with an edge.”

Adds a source close to the actress: “She honestly felt it was a beautiful dress! Then she realized she couldn’t wear underwear with it — she tried it on with underwear first and then saw how bad it looked — so she went for it.”

“That’s how Gwyneth is,” the source continued. “She didn’t know it would get such a negative reaction. She thought it was beautiful and fit the event.”

The gown in question was an item from Berardi’s fall/winter 2013 collection, and the actress wore it well, the designer told Grazia magazine. “Gwyneth manages to bridge the gap of glamour and modernity,” he told the magazine. “She makes things look iconic!”

The 40-year-old actress sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show on Friday, Apr. 26, and admitted that she was a bit “humiliated” by the bad press the outfit had garnered. Especially, she shared, because she had a little “disaster” just prior to the red carpet reveal.

“I was doing a show and I changed there and I couldn’t wear underwear. I don’t think I can tell this story on TV,” Paltrow said with a laugh. “Well, let’s just say everyone went scrambling for a razor. …I work a ’70s vibe. You know what I mean?”

[From Us Weekly]

I kind of can’t believe we’re still talking about the dress to this point of exhaustion. While I think it’s Goop’s Prerogative to wear whatever she wants, I don’t think any amount of stripper’s ass-kissing is going to make me think the dress was anything BUT vulgar and tacky. But what this interview does reveal – even more revealing than the dress – is that Gwyneth truly does surround herself with sycophants who will praise her every Goop Fart.

Yesterday’s post about Gwyneth Paltrow’s stunningly tacky dress at the LA premiere of Iron Man 3 was one of our biggest posts of the day. It seems that everybody wants to talk about Goop these days, probably because Gwyneth will NOT SHUT UP and she keeps doing, like, Kim Kardashian-level stunts. I guess I have to give Gwyneth some credit because I didn’t think she still had this kind of famewhoring left in her. I thought she was in London, not eating and refusing to discuss her personal life. Well, that’s over. And she can never go back. I hope she realizes that.

So, in addition to talking about her sad miscarriage, the state of her marriage (which sounds awful), her contradictory and controversial diet talk and flat-out showing us her Goop Butt two nights ago, Gwyneth would like to expose even more. Yes, Gwyneth is now going to talk about whether or not she’s shaved. Gwyneth sat down with Ellen DeGeneres AND Jay Leno yesterday and the talk turned to shaving and showing off her mons.

Gwyneth Paltrow went commando when she walked the red carpet in an Antonio Berardi dress at the Iron Man 3 premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood Apr. 24. According to the Oscar winner, the risque gown — which featured sheer panels on the side — was a last-minute decision.

“I kind of had a disaster. I was doing a show and I changed there and I went I couldn’t wear underwear. I don’t think I can tell this story on TV,” the 40-year-old said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Apr. 26. “Well, let’s just say everyone went scrambling for a razor.”

Paltrow said she was “humiliated” by the bad press the garment generated. A curious DeGeneres then asked, “It was just the side of your leg. . .What is going on with you?”

“I work a ’70s vibe,” Paltrow said coyly. “You know what I mean?”

The Goop goddess was also asked about her daring look during an Apr. 25 appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. “There was no underwear on in that dress. Yeah, how does that. . .I don’t know,” the flustered mother of two said. “I just sort of put it on and it stayed in place, thank goodness.”

[From Us Weekly]

If the issue ever comes to “everyone went scrambling for a razor,” please, just don’t wear the dress!!! For the love of God. If you have to shave your mons before you wear a certain dress, you shouldn’t be wearing that dress. There really are no exceptions to that rule. That is a rule for every woman, for every occasion. Although I do kind of like (is that the word?) that Gwyneth is a ‘70s girl. I’m assuming that means a full ‘70s style bush. I didn’t know Goop had it in her! Brazilian waxes are for peasants, darling.

Just so you know, I think this story is crap. But I know how much people dislike everyone involved in this story, so I think we can enjoy making fun of what allegedly happened. So, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson are in business together. Gwyneth is an investor/partner in Tracy’s latest gym/blow-dry-bar, and Gwyneth has been promoting Tracy for years. Tracy is her investment. Gwyneth wants Tracy to succeed as a gym-owner and trainer, not just for the money, but because Gwyneth is really tired of seeing so many fat peasants. But does Gwyneth want to have a say in which celebrities Tracy does and does not train? Star Magazine says so.

Gwyneth Paltrow is feuding with longtime trainer Tracy Anderson – and Kim Kardashian is to blame! Unbeknownst to Gwyneth, Kim, who is also Tracy’s client, was invited to attend the opening of Tracy’s new gym in Brentwood on April 4. According to Star, Gwyneth was livid when Kim turned up and hogged the spotlight!

“Kim was the absolute last person Gwyneth wanted to be seen with,” snipes the insider. “Gwyn is all about her natural look, so she hates being around anyone with too much plastic surgery. For her, Kim falls into that category – and Tracy is getting there!”

While Gwyneth kept her cool during the festivities, she later unleashed a tirade on Tracy: “Gwyn fumed that she and Kim are never to cross paths again,” the source reveals, adding that thanks to the run-in with Kim, Gwyneth not only backtracked on a business venture with Tracy but gave her a roundabout ultimatum: me or Kardashian!

“It’s a real Mean Girl thing for her to do, but Gwyneth feels like people who overuse plastic surgery are sending a bad message to the world. So in her mind, she’s doing the honorable thing by not being a part of it – or Tracy!

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

Well… huh. First of all, this is bad business. Gwyneth can’t pick and choose only the most elite clients who can work out at her gym. Even for a “boutique” gym (which this probably is), Gwyneth would and could not turn away paying customers. Second of all, I don’t even think Gwyneth is some kind of advocate for less plastic surgery. She associates/befriends women with bad facelifts and wonky boob jobs all the time. Three, at this point, Gwyneth deigns to associate with people who are “beneath” her all the time. She defended Kim Kardashian at the gym opening, and Gwyneth’s rep tells Gossip Cop that Goop and Kim are “friends” (OMG) and they talked at the event.

This was my thought process as I began to look through these photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at last night’s LA premiere of Iron Man 3… “… Black & white…? OK, Goop. Colors are for peasants… Oh, her dress is full-length. I guess she wanted everyone to know she’s THE STAR by wearing a proper gown… Yay, sleeves!….this isn’t so ba-OMG GOOP BUTT.”

Right? It sort of hits you all of a sudden that Gwyneth is literally showing us her Goop Butt. The dress is Antonio Berardi Fall 2013. I’m guessing the designer would have lined the thing, but Gwyneth was all “I’ll wear this straight off the runway and show everyone my Goop Butt and Goop Biscuit.” I hope the dress has some built-in panties (??) because if it doesn’t, Gwyneth was flashing her bits and pieces all night.

So, overall, what do you think of the dress? Even though I’m looking at Goop Butt, I kind of don’t hate it. This is one of Gwyneth’s strengths as a celebrity: she dares to wear interesting clothes and she’s not afraid of wearing controversial gowns. Sometimes it works out for her, sometimes it doesn’t, but I like her style boldness. My biggest problem with this whole ensemble isn’t the Goop Butt, it’s the terrible shoes!!! Those things look cheap and stripper-tastic. And of course, I’m sick of her flat-ironing and center-part. This whole look feels very ‘90s, right?

PS… Two different earrings!

As I said in yesterday’s post, Gwyneth Paltrow had to give up the goods in exchange for People Magazine naming her Most Beautiful Person (Non-Peasant Category). While People’s cover story excerpts yesterday were rather innocuous – stuff about her daughter and body image – I’m seeing some additional excerpts that have me raising my peasant brow and clutching my peasant artificial pearls (how gauche!). As it turns out, Lady Goop gave up EVERYTHING to People Magazine. She talked about her marriage and her miscarriage and wow… I can’t believe how open she is these days. Goop really doesn’t give a crap about her privacy at this point. Not when she’s selling her lifestyle!

She is married to a rock star, has a successful acting career and has just been named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman by People Magazine. But life doesn’t always run smoothly for Gwyneth Paltrow. In a new interview with People, the 40-year-old actress discusses the impact of suffering a miscarriage and having to work hard at her marriage to Coldplay front man Chris Martin.

‘It was awful,’ she says, when asked about the miscarriage. ‘It happened really late, and I wasn’t expecting it at all. For a long time I just couldn’t understand that it had happened and why. I was like “But I can’t not be pregnant. I’m already past the first trimester, and I have three car seats in my head.” To this day I feel like I’m missing that kid. But it wasn’t meant to be and you have to trust the universe.’

The star said the miscarriage made her grateful for the positive things in her life, especially her two children – eight-year-old Apple and Moses, seven.

‘More than anything I just realised “Oh my God, I’m so lucky to have two healthy kids,”‘ she said.

The star revealed last month that she ‘nearly died’ when she lost her baby, but hasn’t entirely ruled out adding to her brood.

‘We all think “Urgh, I don;t want to go back to diapers,”‘ she admitted. ‘But my best friend’s mom once said “don’t do your planning around the pain in the a** of infancy, because it’s so finite. Plan it around how many people you want at Thanksgiving.” So then I think, maybe. But I don’t know.’

Gwyneth revealed that taking her responsibilities as a wife and mother ‘seriously’ is one of the keys to making her nine-year marriage work.

She added: ‘And I also totally accept him and what he does, so I’m not the type of wife who is like “Where are you?” I never make him feel hemmed in or like he’s in trouble. And on a personal level as friends, we really get along. We really laugh, and we’re super into our kids. There’s a good foundation.’

However Gwyneth admits that the famous couple, who are rarely pictured together, have had their fair share of ups and downs.

‘We’ve gone through some terrible times where it’s been really really hard, but I’ve sort of come through those times with a much deeper understanding of myself. And we’re still married. We worked through it. I think it’s easier to get divorced. But I think the more you keep at it, the more you end up seeing the value in it. But man, sometimes it is not easy.’

[From The Mail]

The miscarriage stuff is still really sad – she discussed it a month ago in a lengthy interview with the Mail on Sunday too. Do you mind if I skip over that part? Because I really have nothing to add besides “Poor Goop.”

What I really want to discuss is all of the Chris Martin stuff. There’s so much to parse! “I also totally accept him and what he does… I never make him feel hemmed in or like he’s in trouble.” What does that mean? Does that mean that Chris gets to do whatever (whoever) he wants and Gwyneth is okay with it because she’s The Cool Wife Who Doesn’t Ask Questions? Is there some kind of rule, like “You can do whatever you want on the road, but you always have to come home to me”? As for how “really really hard” her marriage is… sure. I think we’ve seen them go through some bad times. I also think there’s a healthy dollop of Goop Sanctimony in this statement: “We worked through it. I think it’s easier to get divorced.” ONLY PEASANTS GET DIVORCED.

OMG. I’m usually surprised by who ultimately gets named People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful Person” in any given year, but this year I’m really stunned. I would not have even considered Gwyneth to be a contender. I’m not Mean-Girling her beauty, I’m just saying that Gwyneth rubs a lot of people the wrong way and she’s an unapologetic snob and elitist. How is that cohesive with People Magazine’s demographics? But I guess it makes sense – People Mag has been choosing women in their 30s and 40s lately, and Gwyneth is a mom, she’s in the mothering business now and she’s deigning to talk down to peasant-level. So maybe this is her reward. Plus, they made her have a side-part for the cover!!!!!!!!!! You can see Goop’s People video here and here’s the article:

She may be PEOPLE’s 2013 Most Beautiful Woman but Gwyneth Paltrow insists her kids, Apple, 8, and Moses, 7, don’t see her as anything but mom.

“Around the house, I’m in jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t really wear makeup. That’s what they’re used to,” she says. As for her husband, Chris Martin, “He’ll make a joke about it. If I’ve gotten fully dressed up, he’ll be like, ‘Oh, wow! You’re Gwyneth Paltrow!’ Because he’s used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair.”

And Paltrow wouldn’t have it any other way. With her second cookbook, It’s All Good, debuting at No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list and her next film, Iron Man 3, hitting theaters on May 3, Paltrow credits her workout routine for keeping her looking youthful and less tired.

“It makes me look younger and feel strong,” says the actress, who does the Tracy Anderson Method five days a week. “When I first started, I thought, ‘I’ll never be good at this. This is a nightmare!’ But now it’s like brushing my teeth, I just do it.”

More importantly, she hopes to instill a good body image in both her kids, especially now that her daughter is starting to become interested in things like makeup. “When we’re home sometimes, she’ll put on mascara. And sometimes I’ll let her wear something out to dinner – but just a little dab,” she says.

“Also having a father who adores you the way that he adores her is very good for your body image. The more we can love her and let her be who she is, the more confident she’ll feel.”

For more of Paltrow’s exclusive interview – in which she opens up about her marriage and family, shares beauty tips and sets the record straight on all the rumors – pick up this week’s special issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday

[From People]

Yeah. I think the important thing is that Gwyneth was OPEN to it, and she’s open to shilling (discussing in detail) her kids and her marriage these days. If you’re going to be People’s Most Beautiful, you have to talk about your family. That’s part of the deal. I guess it’s brilliant timing for Goop too, what with her cookbook being released a few weeks ago and Iron Man 3 coming out in a few weeks. We are in the midst of a Goop Renaissance.

Other ladies who made People’s “Most Beautiful” list/are featured in the issue: Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Lawrence, Kelly Rowland, Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore, Jane Fonda, Zooey Deschanel, Gabrielle Union, Kerry Washington and Pink. You can see People’s full “Most Beautiful” package here.
