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!

PIC: Gwyneth leaving the Jimmy Fallon show last night. Did you miss the video of her singing an R&B song with Jimmy? It’s priceless – must see! Go here

Gwyneth Paltrow stopped by the Jimmy Fallon last night to promote her new movie, ‘Country Strong’. While she was there to promote her new movie, something tells me all anyone is going to be talking about is this 90′s music video she performed with Jimmy Fallon.

Last time Paltrow appeared on the show, she and Fallon joked about a made up group they claimed to be in the 80′s, called Shazzazz. This time, she and Fallon made three separate, hilarious videos for spoof songs called, ‘Let’s Do It,’ “Do It Again,’ and ‘We Did It.’

I laughed my butt off!

Gwyneth Paltrow covered Cee-Lo’s “F–k You” on Glee earlier this season, and now it looks like the two may be working together again – off screen!

“We’re actually working on something,” he told us exclusively this morning from Duracell’s Mobile Smart Power Lab in NYC. “We’ve been considering a few things actually. You know, we’ll see what pans out. It’s a little too early to commit to a statement and I won’t ruin the surprise because whatever we’re going to do is going to be extra cool.”

So there’s a good chance we’ll be seeing the two working together in the future?

“Hopefully,” he said. “Keep your toes crossed.”

While Cee Lo thinks Paltrow “did a great job” with her family-friendly version of his hit song, he says he wouldn’t mind appearing on the Fox show himself—for some R-rated fun.

“They gotta keep it real with me,” he said. “If they’re ready to go there and get down and dirty, then we got ourselves a deal! I’ll do it then.”

So it’s really no surprise that the singer told us he’s a big fan of the F-bomb, saying, “I curse like a sailor… Every couple words.”

38-year-old Gwyneth Paltrow has been married to Coldplay front man Chris Martin, 33, for 7 years now, and the secret to their success could lie in their ability to remain private!

Since the couple married in 2003, they’ve been photographed together only a couple times. The key to making it work? Keep their private life – private!

Paltrow, who previously had very public relationships — and breakups — with Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck, tells E! that she’s become more guarded in recent years.

Her reasoning? “It was strange to be part of a public couple.”

The actress and mother of two confesses that motherhood hasn’t always been easy either, and admits to struggling with post-partum depression after son Moses’ birth.

“You don’t want anybody to know that you’re depressed or crying all the time, ” she says. “There’s this shame that we bring to it and it’s incredibly debilitating and scary and you just don’t feel like yourself.”

Despite her difficulties, Paltrow’s own parents have served as role models for the actress, inspiring dedication in their daughter. “We could have paid for everything and had a spoiled kid,” says her mother, actress Blythe Danner. “[But] I think it’s really important for people to work hard.”

Gwyneth Paltrow received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this afternoon, and who was at her side? Her husband Chris Martin? Course not! That would be her ‘Country Strong’ costar Tim McGraw and his wife, Faith Hill. Gwyneth and husband Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are very rarely photographed together. Same goes for her children, Apple, 6, and Moses, 4.

In the pictures below, Gwyneth also poses with ‘Glee’ actor Matthew Morrison. It was announced this morning that Gwyneth would be returning for another episode of ‘Glee’.

There was no telling whether Holly Holiday would be back on McKinley High but now it is confirmed. Gwyneth Paltrow who slipped into the character earlier this season would reprise the “Glee” role although she did not share when and for how many episodes.

The actress was lauded for her performance as substitute teacher in place of Mr. Schue who was sick. She performed the tamer version of Cee-Lo’s “F**k You” which the original artist called “awesome”. Then she joined the New Direction in a big number which mashed up Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and the classic “Singin’ in the Rain”. The episode posted a 7% ratings increase from the previous week.

Paltrow herself seemed to enjoy the stint for she told Access Hollywood on Sunday, December 12 that being on “Glee” was “the best job ever”.
