Gwyneth Paltrow Wears Easy and Chic
Gwyneth Paltrow covers up in a black trench as she steps out in London on Wednesday.
The 36-year-old actress recently shared about how her fashion has evolved lately: “I used to spend a lot of time looking at fashion, reading about fashion, generally being bemused by fashion. Then one day I had children and it all kind of went out the window. For a few years I was basically in sweat pants and I didn’t mind it. It’s a fine line, however, between being comfortable and being demoralized by being frumpy all the time. Just because I no longer had an hour to stand in front of my closet and try to figure out what to wear, did not mean I had to don the same high school t-shirt from the day before. As I started to get back into the world of work, I needed to wear something easy and chic that did not require a lot of planning or accessorizing.”

Anderson Cooper Has The ‘Best Life’
CNN’s dreamy host Anderson Cooper (in Ralph Lauren Black Label) is the latest cover boy for Best Life magazine, out Oct. 21. Here are some great quotes from the 41-year-old via USA Today:
Best way to prepare for a trip: “I pack virtually nothing.”
Best place to carry a passport: “My passport is a mess. I carry it in my front pocket, so it’s all bent. But I know where it is at all times. I find those pouches ridiculous.”
Best DVD for a long flight: “The Professional is one of my favorite movies. Gary Oldman is so great in it. I watch and rewatch it.”
Best cure for jet lag: “Whenever you have free time, sleep. I’ve found you can usually work round the clock for four or five days, and then you collapse in a pool of your own filth. But for five days, you can do anything.”
Best food for the road: “I travel with a lot of PowerBars and foil packs of crackers and tuna. They get better the farther you are from other food sources.”
Best rule to eat safely: “I hate being sick overseas, so I’m very careful. I stick with chicken, rice, and beans. I don’t get very adventurous.”
Best writers for a journey: “David Sedaris. Augusten Burroughs. Cormac McCarthy. I really liked The Road. I tend to read something that’s a complete diversion from what I’m doing.”
Best way to relax: “No TV, no radio, no iPod…just sit in a place without any external stimulant, have a cold drink, and be calm. Be present where you are.”
Best drink for that: “Nothing beats an ice-cold Coke in a glass bottle.”

Madonna’s Divorce: Official!
Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing after almost eight years of marriage.
“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 1/2 years of marriage,” her rep Liz Rosenberg said in a statement to The Associated Press. “They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet.”
According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the couple decided to go public with the split now because they “can’t bear to live with the pretense any longer… A series of rows around Guy’s 40th birthday last month were so bad that Madge ended up storming out of the house and Guy’s had enough.”
Pictured: The last pictures of Madonna returning to her NYC apartment last night prior to the official announcement of her divorce.
UPDATE: It’s being reported that the couple don’t have a pre-nup and Guy could walk away with $250 million, one of the biggest divorce payouts in history.

Madonna Brings Filth & Wisdom To New York
Director Madonna attends a screening of her new film, Filth and Wisdom, hosted by The Cinema Society and Dolce and Gabbana at the Sunshine Cinema on Monday in New York City.
The New Yorker is all sorts of confused about the film: “What vexes me most about Filth and Wisdom is the economics. Madonna has been a global star for decades. She has amassed a fortune, much of which presumably remains intact. She can’t have spent all of it on jodhpurs and conical bras. So why, when it came to launching herself as a film director, did she limit her budget to $365.23? Such, at any rate, is my estimate for the funding of Filth and Wisdom. If the actors were paid according to their talents, they cannot have cost more than forty bucks.” OUCH!
The Hollywood Reporter sort of compliments it, but sort of slams the quirky dark comedy as well. UK’s Telegraph has mixed feelings about it as well. Trailer below!

Beyonce’s Cyborg Arm Revealed!
Everybody’s been talking about Beyoncé’s new “Single Ladies” music video, so here’s an exclusive tip about her awesome cyborg arm.
In the video, Beyoncé’s chrome fingernails are a brand new nail coating called Minx, which is not a polish, but a flexible film that is applied with heat and pressure. NY celebrity manicurist Lisa Logan applied Golden Lightning Minx to Beyoncé for the vid. Launched earlier this year, Minx is available in a wide range of metallics, patterns and graphics. Because Minx is a film and not a polish, there is no smudging, no chipping and no drying time.
