There are twenty-million new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo (mostly Gwyneth) on the NYC film set of Thanks For Sharing. They were filming in Central Park yesterday, in a scene that seems to have involved Dame Goop deigning to “jog” and “ride a velocipede” (her words). So what’s the big deal? A few things – one, Gwyneth looks cute in these photos. I’ve begun to think she’s almost always prettier when she’s not all Goop’d up for a red carpet. When her hair is out of the ponytail, she looks especially good. Whoever is doing the makeup for the film is doing a bang-up job.

As for the film, did you know that Gwyneth plays a sex addict? How gauche! Thanks for Sharing stars Goop, Ruffalo, Tim Robbins, Joely Richardson and Pink, amongst others. The plot:

Dramatic comedy follows a group of unlikely friends brought together through their shared determination to recover from sex addiction as they try to forge meaningful relationships for the first time in their lives…. Paltrow will play Phoebe, a successful businesswoman who falls for Ruffalo’s character, while Richardson will play Katie, the wife of Robbins’ character.

The director is Stuart Blumberg, who also wrote the screenplay – he was nominated for an Oscar for his The Kids Are All Right screenplay. Did we ever talk about Kids? I thought it was a really overrated film – yes, Annette and Julianne Moore were great, but the script had big issues.

Anyway, here are some more photos of Gwyneth and Mark flirting away, on and off-camera. I bet Mark likes Gwyneth in general, because she always seems to charm other actors, but I’ve got to wonder about their potential for long-term friendship. Mark is an urban hippie who lives a quiet life with his wife and kids. Dame Gwyneth is a self-styled princess who bathes herself in luxury. Now THAT has potential for a romantic comedy.

Oh, and I have no comment on this:
