I’m listening to their new album, Mylo Xyloto right now. I’ve listened to it all the way through a couple times, and I have to say there are songs I love – and there are definitely songs I don’t love. One song – I unchecked from iTunes immediately, I never want to hear it again (already).

BUT overall – it’s a good album. Here’s the link on iTunes if you want to buy! Came out today!

It’s been ages – ages I tell you! – since Gwyneth Paltrow was seen out with her husband Chris Martin! Yet, here they are, even if they weren’t photographed together!

Gwyneth missed the NYC premiere of her new movie, ‘Contagion’ in order to attend an event for Coach in London. And she took her husband as her date! Gwyneth is the new face of Coach, so she was probably obligated to go.

What do you think of her orange Lanvin dress?

During a recent interview with E! Online, Gwyneth opened up about appearing on ‘Glee’ again – and what she considers the “biggest blessing of all time.”

Seeing how Gwyneth Paltrow has made such a splash with her unforgettable appearances on Glee, it only makes sense that fans would want to see her return. That is, of course, she doesn’t even think about trying to hook up with Matthew Morrison.

So, what does the Oscar winner have to say about another possible encore performance?

“I would love to go back on,” Paltrow tells E! News. “You know, I’m not sure if I will or not, but we’ll see. It would be hard for me to say no. I have such a good time doing that show. So, we’ll see if they ask me back or not.”

Until then, the actress is keeping busy promoting her latest film, Contagion. The thriller, centering on the worldwide outbreak of a deadly virus, reunited the actress with her Talented Mr. Ripley costars Jude Law and Matt Damon, who plays her husband in the flick.

“It was so great to work with him again,” she says. “We’re different in a lot of ways with all our kids and so we talked a lot about our kids and showed pictures.”

Speaking of rugrats, Paltrow is so “happy” that her good friend Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé are expecting and admits that becoming a parent really puts everything in perspective.

“It’s wonderful to see her so happy right now,” Gwyneth tells E! “And so looking forward to the experience. I’m very happy for them.”

“I think motherhood is the biggest blessing of all time and it give your life real meaning,” she points out. “It’s always interesting when you’re a woman with success and you’ve achieved a lot, and then you have a baby and you realize everything you thought was an achievement really is nothing until you have a kid, and I think that will be [Beyoncé's] experience.”

Any advice for pal Jay-Z?

“I’d tell him directly,” says Paltrow, adding with a laugh: “But I wouldn’t say it on television.” (E!Online)

Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin are on the hunt for a tutor for their children, Apple, 7 and Moses, 5. Thing is – they are very, very particular in what they’re looking for.

According to The Sun, the famous couple have placed an ad for a private tutor, and they know exactly what they want. The new tutor must essentially be, smart, athletic, musically gifted, multilingual, willing to travel the world and work two to four hours a day.

A friend of the couple told The Sun, “They’re looking for someone with amazing qualifications – fluent in languages, able to play two instruments and sporty. It’s likely the tutor will be Oxbridge-educated.”

Both Paltrow and her Coldplay frontman husband are intelligent and talented individuals themselves, it’s no wonder they’d want that for their offspring as well.

The job will require working from their home in Belsize Park, North London, with the ability to travel with the couple and the kids both near and far. The insider that spoke to The Sun added, “They want someone to go with them wherever they need them, be that America or anywhere else. But with that kind of deal for teaching two hours a day – you would, wouldn’t you?”

These expenses will of course be paid for, and will not come out of the £60,000 ($98,000) salary being offered. As for some of the other perks included, how about use of the couples’ West London flat? Not too shabby at all.

In February’s Good Housekeeping, Gwyneth Paltrow has opens up about suffering from postpartum depression following the birth of her second child, Moses in 2006.

“I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect. It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.”

It was Gwyneth’s husband, Chris Martin, who helped see her through her tough time.

“About four months into it, Chris came to me and said, ‘Something’s wrong. Something’s wrong.’ I kept saying, ‘No, no, I’m fine.’ But Chris identified it, and that sort of burst the bubble,” the 38-year-old Oscar winner continued. “The hardest part for me was acknowledging the problem. I thought postpartum depression meant you were sobbing every single day and incapable of looking after a child. But there are different shades of it and depths of it, which is why I think it’s so important for women to talk about it. It was a trying time. I felt like a failure.”

I have two sons. When I had my first boy, I was 23, and had no clue what postpartum depression was. It really just hit me like a ton of bricks. You’re not really prepared for something like that when you’re a little girl, are you? You just imagine having babies as this magical time, and everything will be perfect once you see your little child. But it’s not always like that! I believe I had postpartum depression for three months (may have been as long as six) after my oldest was born. It was a really terrible time, because I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I felt horrible for having all these negative feelings. I didn’t realize what was going on! I couldn’t figure out why my son couldn’t make me happy. Why wasn’t I happy!?  I don’t have daughters – but if I did – I would definitely educate them on PD, and let them know how completely normal it is, and not to get discouraged!

In other Gwyneth news, it was announced that she will be hosting SNL on January 15th – and the musical guest will be Cee Lo! It’s gonna be good!

Ok – so my photo source swears this is Apple, but I don’t see how it could be six year old Apple. Could it be their son, Moses? I guess it could be – but he would be dressed awfully feminine (the shoes!?).  I can’t tell – I’m perplexed!

Gwyneth Paltrow is that kind of person who likes to stay friendly with her exes.

Especially her ex Ben Affleck.

Friends say the star is big on sending personal notes and gifts for births and other major celebrations, and Ben and his wife Jennifer Garner have been on the lucky receiving end of such gifts.

“Ben and Jen got one of Gwyneth’s famous notes this year just after Seraphina was born,” says the insider. “It was very nice, but it was a little too personal. Gwyneth made sure to mention how she was happy that Ben was finally creating the family he had always wanted, a family, which the two of them discussed in depth when they were dating. It just rubs Jen the wrong way.”

But that’s just the beginning of Paltrow’s too-close-for-comfort behavior.

Gwyneth has enrolled her children, Apple and Moses, in the same Beverly Hills school that Violet Affleck attends, according to our source.

“Luckily, Gwyneth and Chris are barely in California three months out of the year, so Jen should not have to run into her too often at school,” says the insider. “The other moms already have a problem with the paparazzi following the Garner-Afflecks, and Gwyneth Paltrow will only make the situation worse.”

So far Garner, and Paltrow’s husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, are playing it cool with the Ben/Gwyneth thing. Martin is so laid back, says our source, he actually promotes Gwyneth to stay in touch with Ben. And Jen is taking his cue.

“Jen will always allow Ben to have contact and friendship with Gwyneth,” the pal says. “But she doesn’t always like it.”
