Gwyneth trying to contact her dead father - Oct 05
Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly trying to contact her dead father beyond the grave.

The screen beauty misses her beloved dad so much she has been consulting a psychic about contacting him in heaven. According to US reports the ’Proof’ star has met with a medium several times in a bid to reach former film producer, Bruce Paltrow, who lost his battle with throat cancer three years ago.

A source is quoted in Britain’s Daily Express as saying: "She’s still distraught over his passing. She has been on this big kick to contact Bruce, whom she idolised. She just wants to know her father is happy, then she can be happy for him."

Earlier this month Gwyneth - who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - confessed she believes her father is walking her dead dog in
heaven. The blonde star revealed she got over the death of her pet Labrador, Holden, when a friend suggested he was being looked after by her dad. She explained: "I was really upset the day we had to put Holden to sleep until someone said, ’You know your father is walking him in heaven right now’. "I thought, ’Wouldn’t it be great if that were true?’"

Gwyneth is terrified - Sept 05
Gwyneth Paltrow is terrified she will meet the same tragic fate as the late Princess Diana. The Hollywood actress, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, says the paparazzi are so aggressive and relentless in pursuing her that she fears she could be involved in a fatal accident - just as the princess was in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Gwyneth is also worried her baby daughter, Apple, is at risk. She confessed: "If I have my daughter in the car and they are making me nervous, I’ll do whatever I have to do." The beautiful blonde says she is doing everything she can to prevent the paparazzi from putting her life in danger. She told America’s V Life magazine: "I keep a whole log. I take pictures of their cars, write down license plate numbers, everything. If they do it again, I can go to the police. I know my rights, and believe me, I will have them arrested. I will stop at nothing."

In recent months, several stars have been involved in nasty paparazzi incidents - Scarlett Johansson and Lindsay Lohan were both involved in car accidents while trying to escape photographers, while Reese Witherspoon claimed shutterbugs tried to prevent her from leaving a Los Angeles gym by blocking her car in.

Biography

Gwyneth Kate Paltrow was born September 28, 1972, in Los Angeles, California. Gwyneth is the daughter of actress Blythe Danner and television producer and director Bruce Paltrow.

The Paltrows moved to Manhattan, New York when Gwyneth was 11 years old, where she would watch her Tony award-winning mother perform at theatre festivals, inspiring the young Gwyneth to become an actress herself, an ambition which resulted in a starring role in a production of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Gwyneth returned to Los Angeles in order to attend the University of California in Santa Barbara as an art history major. While her first film role was in the 1991 film Shout, with John Travolta, her big break came along when she went out one night with her father and family friends Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.

Big league director Spielberg was in the process of casting for his film Hook and that night, he offered Gwyneth the role of Wendy, which she instantly accepted. After her role in Hook, also starring Robin Williams and Julia Roberts, she was cast as the lead in the 1992 mini-series Cruel Doubt.

The budding actress’ resume was soon filling up, with roles in Malice, Flesh and Bone, Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle, Jefferson in Paris, and Moonlight and Valentino. Although audiences were beginning to take notice of Gwyneth, the film that threw her into the spotlight was her role as Brad Pitt’s girlfriend in the thriller Seven, which is where the highly photogenic couple met and fell in love. For a while anyway.

Following this she worked on films including The Pallbearer, Great Expectations, Sliding Doors and A Perfect Murder, although her star status was really confirmed when she accepted the Best Actress Oscar in (some say fake) floods of tears.

After a brief hiatus, Gwyneth returned to the big-screen in the beautifully shot The Talented Mr. Ripley, as Jude Law’s good-hearted girlfriend. And since has filmed Shallow Hal, Sylvia and View From The Top. Following a move to swanky Belgravia where she spends time drinking herbal tea, following a macrobiotic diet and doing Yoga with best mates Madonna and Stella McCartney, Gwynnie fell in love with Coldplay singer Chris Martin who she secretly married late in 2003 while preganant with his baby, which is due this summer.
