Madonna marriage counsellor Gwyneth
Gwyneth Paltrow desperately tried to convince her close friend Madonna to save her marriage to Guy Ritchie, before the couple announced their split yesterday
The Hollywood actress, who has been close pals with the pop superstar for a number of years, spent months urging the singer to try and make the relationship work for the sake of their children.
A source said: "Gwyneth will be deeply upset the marriage has ended. She begged Madonna all summer not to be an idiot and let the marriage fall apart. No one tried harder than Gwyneth to convince them to stick together. But Madonna has always been her own women and in the end made her own decision."
Madonna, 50, and Guy, 40, raise three children together, Lourdes, 12 - Madonna's daughter by dancer Carlos Leon - Rocco, eight, and adopted David Banda, two.
Gwyneth - who mainly lives in London with her British musician husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin, and their four-year-old daughter Apple and son Moses, two - is believed to be worried she will lose contact with the '4 Minutes' singer once the couple's legal separation is finalised.
A source added: "They used to have so much in common. They were both married to British men, split their time between the UK and US, raised young children and were incredibly successful in their chosen careers. But when Madonna becomes single again Gwyneth fears that bond will be broken. Overnight, they go from having everything in common to almost nothing. Gwyneth fears they friendship may not survive if Madonna moves back to America."
Madonna announced she was splitting from Guy yesterday (15.10.08) ending months of speculation the marriage was in trouble.
Her spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in a statement: "Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 l/2 years of marriage. They have both requested the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet."

Pizza chef Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she loves cooking for her family and can't stop eating pizza.
Gwyneth Paltrow can't stop eating pizza.
The usually health conscious star, who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, refuses to hire a personal chef and loves whipping up tasty treats for her family.
Gwyneth, who has two children Apple and Moses with Chris, said: "I cook all the meals for my house. I really love to cook.
"Breads and pizzas is what I'm cooking and we all love it. We have a wood burning pizza oven in our garden. Right now the weather is nice in London, so I'm using that oven a lot. You can cook anything in there. It's amazing."
Despite claiming earlier this year she hasn't eaten meat "for about fifteen years", Gwyneth's mother, actress Blythe Danner, has revealed her daughter cooked a carnivorous feast for her birthday.
Blythe said: "She never gets flustered. She made duck for my birthday last year and she does it all perfectly."
Gwyneth, 35, is enjoying being in the kitchen so much she is now trying to create the perfect pancake.
She added to People magazine: "My dad was a famous pancake maker and I'm working on adapting his recipe right now. I'm making mine slightly healthier."

Gwyneth Paltrow's fur ad
Gwyneth Paltrow - who is known for the environmentally-friendly lifestyle she and husband Chris Martin lead - has sparked outrage after posing for an advert wearing fur.
The 'Iron Man' actress - who has two children, Apple, four, and two-year-old Moses with vegetarian singer husband Chris Martin - has angered animal rights groups by posing in animal skin as the face of the autumn collection of fur-lined boots and bags from Italian designers Tod's.
A spokesperson for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has revealed the group has sent the actress letters and videos "showing how people suffer for fur" but are yet to receive a response from Gwyneth.
The spokesperson added: "Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur.
"It's a terrible example to set for a young child, promoting an industry that electrocutes animals, snaps their necks and skins them alive."
Vegetarian charity Viva! have also attacked the actress - who is renowned for her green lifestyle and previously stuck to a vegan macrobiotic diet - branding her "stupid".
A spokesperson said: "There is nothing feminine about inserting an electrode into the anus of a terrified and struggling fox and then electrocuting it. Ms. Paltrow is an actress - and seemingly a particularly stupid one at that."
In addition to angering the groups, some of Gwyneth's closest friends are reportedly "furious" with her, including vegan musician Moby and fashion designer Stella McCartney, who refuses to use fur in her collections.

Apple makes Moses dress up like a lady
Sadly it's not a technology scoop about the computer megacorps behind-closed-doors sex romps with the Jewish figurehead. It's about Gwynnie. Her daughter APPLE dresses her son, MOSES up as a lady. "But she doesn't put make-up on him!" Well, phewie. That would just be weird.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin married in secret
...and why not? That's how they've conducted their whole entire relationship. Oh and they're expecting a baby too, although presumably it's early days as Gwynnie still has that famished Dickensian orphan look about her. I know, I'm just jealous. I love her really. Although not as much as Chris 'Coldplay' Martin, apparently. A source told The People that Paltrow, 31, and
Martin, 26, tied the knot in Santa Barbara, California, on December 5th. Rather more recently, the couple have also been spotted house-hunting in Belsize Park, north London.

Gwyneth Paltrow is just like us
It's hard not to be unwholesomely fascinated by Gwyneth Paltrow. She's like a funny little ghost. So quiet. So pale. So cold. You think "She needs looking after". You think "Did they have to bury her up to her neck in the ground to do the box scene in Se7en?" You think "She wasn't there when you took the photo." And now, you think "Will she be any good in Iron Man?" Yes, Gwynnie really is absolutely everywhere at the moment: the Daily Mail is obsessed with her high heels, everyone else is amazed that she's eating normal food again, and Jonathan Ross is feeding her Guinness on his show tonight - which is brings me to the next revelation...
Gwyneth has changed, and not necessarily for the better. If anything, for the boringer. Heels? Pints? Balding English bloke? Might as well cast my neighbour, who at least has the common decency to shout at her boyfriend in the street outside my flat every Friday night. Oh, yes, it started with a pint of Guinness and a bag of chips for her too, you know, Gwyn. I don't want you to go down that route. You were much better as a spooky apparition in the distance, picking over some irradiated mung beans with a diamond fork.
So, for your own sake, please go away now Paltrow. We don't hear a peep from you for months, and now this. Millions of you, all coming at me at once. You're like buses, or the terracotta warriors.

The Top 5 Celebrity Yummy Mummy’s: We wish they were ours
Celebrity mum's have been under fire for bad behaviour, drunken shenanigans, indeed we at Star Trip even have our top five worst mums so in relation to this, I thought it's only fair to show you the mothers who make us proud, and who I'd willingly petition for adoption.
Number 1: Angelina Jolie
With her ‘rainbow family’ always close behind her, it’s hard not to have Ms. Jolie at the top of the list. Having adopted 3 children and had one biological child with fiance Brad Pitt, Jolie is still planning to expand her family further, with more biological and adopted children coming soon. Her devotion to her family is hard to overlook- and so is the fact that Brad and Ange collectively donated $6.6million to charily last year. What a woman.
Number 2: Gwen Stefani
After telling the world she was pregnant by shouting “I want
you to shout so hard the baby hears it” during a concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, despite her press agent stating that recent baby
rumours were untrue, Gwen Stefani Gave birth to Kingston Rossdale. Since then,
numerous pictures have been printed with little Kingston on his mummy’s hip in
cute little outfits, visiting various celebrity events such as the NRJ Music
Awards in Cannes, with Gwen never failing to look amazing. Recent pics of Gwen and Kingston on the beach
show just what a yummy mummy Gwen is-how does she manage to look that good with
a fourteen-month-old little lad to look after?
Number 3: Katie Holmes
She’s Posh’s favourite pal, and we can certainly see why. Since baby Suri was born on 18th April 2006, she has barley been seen out of her mum’s arms. And we can see why: constantly smiling and giggling, baby Suri is one of the cutest things we’ve ever seen. One of Katie’s fellow Dawson’s Creek stars, Oliver Hudson, said of her, "She almost seems born for motherhood. She's a nurturer. She's got mother qualities a lot of girls her age don't have." Lucky Suri.
Number 4: Gwyneth Paltrow
When the pictures of Apple wearing little pink ear protectors, whilst balanced on her mummy’s hip at Live 8 came out, all the women in the nation breathed a collective “ahhhh”. As her child innocently sucked her thumb, Paltrow beamed at the camera’s, showing off her blatant happiness. When Gwyneth announced why her and hubby Chris Martin had chosen the name Moses for their second bundle of joy, the same noise was heard again. The name Moses was given in reference to the song Martin wrote Gwyneth after their secret weeding in California, which included lyrics “Like Moses has the power of the sea, so you've got power over me..." and refers to the first time the pair met. Could there be any more love in this family?!
Number 5: Liz Hurley
After seeing the pics of Liz and Damien at her recent marriage to Arun Nayar in March this year, we couldn’t help but put her up here. And with her own swim range and entrepreneurial skills, what was stopping us? She looks fantastic in all of the ad’s for her range, and clearly completely dotes on Damian. A true yummy mummy indeed.
[Words: Chloe-Anne Ride]

Chris Martin storms out of press conference
Apparently Chris Martin doesn't like being asked about his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow. At a press conference in Brazil yesterday, Martin was asked if he ever thought he would record a duet with Gwyneth. Chris replied by asking the reporter, "What's your favorite sexual position?" Awkward. When a second reported asked him a question about his Gwenny, Chris apparently refused to answer, and stormed out of the conference...despite only being there for a whopping 20 minutes. It must be tough being an international rock star and have the press ask you questions about your snooty Oscar winning wife. Boo-freakin'-hoo.

Gwyneth Paltrow blasts the American way of life
Oh, Gwyneth. I like you so much better when you're reading from a script or silently smiling in photographs. It's so disappointing that when you're allowed to speak freely, you say arrogant things like this,
"I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money; they talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is 'I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile.' It's just kind of like, I am."
Gwyneth has, shockingly, been getting lots of heat for saying this. But, like every other celebrity who opens their mouth before thinking, Gwyneth claims she was misquoted. Never mind that she said, "Brits are far more intelligent and civilized than Americans." back in February 2006.
Gwyneth. Need we remind you that you named your children APPLE and MOSES? Need we remind you that you're American? Why don't you chew on a big slice of humble pie, and think how your uncivilized American fans have helped your career. Once again, Gwynnie, for shame.

Hugh Hefner, the former sex-machine, no longer has the energy for sex, saying that he instead prefers a game of dominoes with the Playboy bunnies. Maybe he's gay?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney are trying to set their parents, Blythe Danner and Paul McCartney, up together, as they can't wait to overhear geriatrics going at it like rabbits.

Gwyneth Paltrow Makes AIDS Blunder
This is a recent ad campaign for Keep A Child Alive, a charity which organises drugs for those suffering from AIDS, and as you can see, ol' Gwynnie Paltrow is doing her bit for the cause. We love it when 'slebs get behind brilliant causes like this, it's just a shame it could almost be taken as offensive! But what's real insulting (yet hilarious) at this moment is a recent parody of the ad, but with Mel Gibson making a cameo appearance...Click on the jump for the clincher. [Katherine Hannaford]

Gwyneth Paltrow Wants to 'Do A Madonna'
No, she won't be capering about in a conical bra while snogging Britney Spears and licking the feet of a black Jesus. Although far be it from me to poke my nose into what she gets up to in the bedroom with hubby Chris Martin. No, Gywneth Paltrow is planning a singing career according to today's Sun, and is writing and recording with producer William Orbit - the chap behind Madonna's 'Ray Of Light' album.
The sessions are supposed to be a way of relaxing from the pressures of life as a mum-of-two, but have apparently gone so well, they may get a commercial release. But rest assured, Gwyn has NO plans to record a syrupy load of old shite with her husband. He does a good enough job of that on his own etc etc [Stuart Dredge]

Madonna Splashes Out For Baby Moses.
When my best friend gave birth, I send her a text message on the day and a set of earplugs a week later, and she seemed satisfied. So I'm hoping, considering she's pregnant again, she won't be reading this - as Madonna has been showing how to spoil a friends' newborn in a way I just can't afford. The Queen of Pop has been showering gifts from Los Angeles store Petit Tresor on the offspring of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin - baby Moses. Star magazine claims Madonna was spotted picking out a Moses - ha - basket and baby clothes.
Am I the only one who read recently they'd had a big fight? Or am I dreaming that? Whatever the situation, they seem to be getting on well enough now. [Toni Kelly]

It has just been confirmed that the two exes of Brad Pitt are teaming up together to star in a new thriller, with Aniston playing the villain.
