"I want to see the world, eat an ice cream. I sometimes eat takeaways, crispy duck with pancakes. Life’s too short not to relax, enjoy yourself, even smoke a cigarette." Mindful of her pregnancy, she quickly added: "Not now though, of course."

If you have got over the shock of ultra healthy Gwyn chowing down crispy duck pancakes, then she recently told Teen Hollywood that she thought the Paparazzi ’were bad’.

’What people don’t know is the ugly aggressiveness that goes into getting a picture for a weekly celebrity magazine. There’ll be someone sitting outside your house, day and night. The paparazzi stop at nothing. You appeal to their sense of humanity, but they don’t care.

"They’ll shout stuff at you, try to run you off the road, anything to get a picture. They’re bad."

Hubby Chris Martin lashed out at a photographer as the couple left Kate Moss’s 30th birthday bash in January. It seems the nice couple have finally had enough.

Are they already married? - 09/12/03
Rumours are flying thick and fast that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have apparently wed in secret.

We knew that they had applied for a marriage license in Santa Barabra, but now it appears the pair may have gone one better and married soon after getting the license. The Sun has reported that the couple took their vows at the Santa Barbara register office, where they both wore simple outfits for the 10-minute ceremony.

Later on they flew to Mexico, where they are staying in an exclusive beach complex. Chris had apparently asked for the hotel room to be filled with Gwyneth’s favourite flowers. It is said that the couple are expected to have a lavish blessing of their wedding later this week after renting five more large villas for family and friends. But of course, this could all be rumours to detract us from the real wedding, whenever that takes place! Agh - too much!

Wedding bells? - 08/12/03
Will the next three months see Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin walking down the aisle?

They have applied for a marriage license in Santa Barbara, when they turned up at a courthouse to ask in person. So no Hampstead wedding for them, then. The marriage license means that they can get married by a judge in Santa Barbara County anytime in the next 90 days. I wonder what sort of wedding reception the clean living pair would have - yoga for all and ryvita for afters maybe?

Gwyneth Paltrow and lover Chris Martin are expecting their first baby, which is due next summer.

The couple have been dating for 18 months and are said to be ’ecstatic’ at the news. Gwyneth’s spokesperson however, has refused to comment on whether the happy couple are planning on tying the knot she would only confirm the couple’s baby news.

Gwynnie’s highly documented clean living lifestyle means she will not have to adapt much to being pregga’s - it’s not exactly like she is a huge party gal at the moment anyway!

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.
