Gwyneth Paltrow On Madonna, Her Macrobiotic Diet And Her Vices

"Iron Man" leading lady Gwyneth Paltrow posed for V Magazine and sat down for interview. She plans to take some time off now, but as "Iron Man 2" has been given its tentative 2010 release date, it won't be too long a break.

* On working on Iron Man: "It was nice. It's great sometimes to go to work and think, Oh, we're just going to have fun. I wouldn't even know my lines because when we'd get there, Robert [Downey Jr.] would change everything. There was a point when I would have been scared to work like that, but now I'm up for anything. As long as it doesn't involve working five days a week!"

* On looking back on her 20s: "I wouldn't change anything. Even when I look back and think, Why did I do that or why did I date that person? Because ultimately all roads led me to where I am now. And it was incredibly fun-travelling the world, going to premieres, dressing up. It was just my life. I did it all the time. At certain points in more recent years, when I've been 30 pounds heavier and had milk dripping out of my boobs, it seemed like a fairy tale."

* On her macrobiotic diet: "I was macrobiotic for about three or four years, but when I got pregnant with Apple I wanted french fries, grilled cheese, and yoghurt, so it kind of went out the window. I couldn't look at brown rice. It made me throw up. But being macrobiotic is basically about eating local, organic, seasonal food that isn't processed, and that's how I eat now, so it's not that different. I haven't eaten meat for about fifteen years. I eat fish, a little bit of dairy -- not much milk -- but I love cheese. We'll make chocolate chip cookies and eat them, but sugar makes me feel pretty bad. I have coffee and wine. I've got lots of lovely vices."
* On being friends with Madonna: "I met Madonna when I was 22 or 23. I have other friends I've had longer and I have other friends that I see more, but through thick and thin she's a constant in my life. It's like we have some kind of karmic thing. She's a great woman. She's taught me a lot."

They used to make cocaine movies now they make
steroid/HGH movies. Ironman is a steroid movie
all puffed up, big bangbang, no sex, and no brains.
Are steroids and HGH good for opiate addictions?
I thought RDjr was gone for good.

[StanDaMan]

Wow, Gwyneth, what could Madonna have taught you? That you don't need artistic talent, just some marketing know-how; i.e., shocking the public with outlandish behavior is good for sales?

[citizenofmars]

she looks like a junkie Fairy

[sufi66]

What a depressing narcissist!

[Triangle1]

She hasn't eaten meat in 15 years, but she eats fish all the time? Are fish now considered plants with eyes that breathe?

[longnow]

Hey, what about that there dairy and that other stuff cheese.
Dat ain't not no Macrobucotic.
There's alway someone like Tri1...

Gwn don't look so good.
which means big cookie, pizza & bloodymary binge...like everybloodyday.

Her mom, Blythe Danner, is not only better at acting but more attractive and sexier than GP, in my opinion!

[ClydeSloppers]

Terrible music - just terrible what Madonna calls music. After Abbey Road all rock music went down hill except for a few things by Keith Richards.

[citizenofmars]

Richards? Like WHAT ferinstabce?

[rmetz74]

Man, you are just unhappy about everything today, aren't you?

[heretical_eggs]

I'm not fond of those photos with the heavy make up. She has such a natural beauty.

[situationcritical]

Okay, I just want to say this.

The only appealing thing in IronMan (aside from the metal jockstrap on the suit) was Gwyneth Paltrow.

Honestly, I don't know how she was seriously able to pull off running through a sea of shattered glass in Jimmy Choos with a 30 foot robot suit chasing her, but she did, and did a damn good job of it too.

Nobody puts me in touch with my inner white girl the way Gwyneth does.

...okay, Kylie Minogue also brings out my IWG too.

[rini]

Apparently, you are not a RD jr fan.

Too bad for you.

[raker]

That thing in the bottom photo looks like it was designed by Christian from Project Runway.

[ENK727]

What a creepy looking photo. She looks way too skinny.... yuck. Toothpick legs...too much eye shadow.

[rini]

That eye shadow thing and the frizzy hair are an attempt at a certain look. I don't think the look works for her. The frizzy hair is going to be in. I don't love it.

The skinny legs? I think that's her build. I wish I was built like that. It's not a malnourished look to me, just a tall look. I bet they photoshopped out some shadows and some veins and ligaments to make her look smoother, though. Her skin looks too perfect.

[zona9]

That's because the photos were photoshopped to death.

[rini]

Yeah, that's what I was saying. You can tell so easily.

[situationcritical]

LaCroix sweetie, darling, LaCroix.

I just remember this Vogue interview a couple of years back in which Gwinnie rolled her eyes when Naomi Campbell came over to say hi b/c Naomi always had soooo much drama. I guess Madge is exempt from that rule?

Is it just me or is she showing a little 'peesh' OR is that just a wardrobe malfunction?

[rjean]

who cares.....paltrow...just stay in london and shut up....you have nothing remotely interesting to say about anything..why...because youre boring and spoiled and pretentious.....

.like most libs

[rini]

Do you enjoy going to sites and anonymously insulting people from behind your computer screen?

Most people come on this site to commiserate, share opinions and argue constructively. We would appreciate it if people who simply liked name calling developed their own site... .perhaps trollsRus.com or something,..... maybe trollcity..trollvillage?? trollicious??trollmeettroll?

I could go on...

[rmetz74]

They why'd you click on the link?

[expanse]

Madonna isn't crazy like Naomi Campbell. There isn't a whole lot of drama surrounding Madonna. Usually, Gwyneth and Madonna hang out with Sting, Paul McCartney, Stella Mc, Brad Pitt, Debi Mazar every once in awhile. What a group!

[Flick08]

But I actually remember her before she was Mother Goose and writing her children's books.
