Gwyneth Paltrow: I've started eating bread and pasta again

Telegraph23-04-2025

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she has relaxed her once super-strict paleo diet and is eating bread and pasta again.
For a number of years Paltrow, 52, adhered to a high-protein, low-carb regime – which supporters say has a range of health benefits including improved cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
Now the lifestyle guru, whose movies include Shakespeare in Love, The Talented Mr Ripley, The Royal Tenenbaums and Shallow Hal, has said she and her husband, television producer Brad Falchuk, 54, have broadened their culinary horizons.
Speaking this week on her Goop podcast, she said: 'I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very, very healthily.'
She added: 'I was just so amazed that we had this power in our hands that if we treated ourselves well and hydrated and ate whole foods that we could just feel so much better. I was sort of intoxicated by that idea and I still feel that way to this day.'
Although she admitted that she was now 'a little bit sick of it, if I'm honest'.
Paltrow, who has two children, has been posting images on social media showing meals of pizza and burgers.
'I'm getting back into eating sourdough bread, cheese – there I said it. A little pasta after being strict with it for so long,' she said.
'But again I think it's a good template, eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible. I don't think there are any doctor or nutritionist that would refute that.'
In the episode, Paltrow who was married to Coldplay's Chris Martin from 2003 to 2016, talks about her experiences with food and its role in relationships, including those with a person's family.
'As I sit down to record this, I am in preparation for big Easter brunch, and so I started taking note about how much joy I was feeling with this upcoming holiday and gathering,' she says.
'It filled me with so much joy to think about everybody coming together and bringing their children…We need those social connections, and so often, at the epicentre of those things, those meaningful moments, is food.'
She explained that for many years her diet was 'lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no dairy, no sugar etcetera. I think that period of time I might have got a little didactical about it'.

Dakota Johnson spills on dating turn-off after Chris Martin break-up

Fifty Shades of Gray star, Dakota Johnson, has reportedly split up with her partner of eight years, Chris Martin, and has now revealed one of her non-negotiable dating rules Dakota Johnson has revealed the one rule her partners must stick to in the wake of her breakup with Coldplay's Chris Martin. The Fifty Shades of Gray star, 35, has reportedly called it quits with the Fix You singer, 48, after eight years together. Dakota, who is currently starring in the flick, Materialists, in which her character boasts several love interests - including Marvel star, Chris Evans - was pretty clear about the one thing her prospective partner must not be as she opened up about her expectations. Speaking to Craig Melvin on the June 9 episode of Today, she stated: 'Just, like, not an a**hole.' Chuckling, Chris, who was seen looking cosy with Dakota during the New York premiere of their film on the weekend, replied: "That's concise. There it is. Nail on the head.' ‌ ‌ Dakota's blunt reply comes amid reports that she and Chris Martin have called it a day. On June 4, it was reported that the couple—who first sparked dating rumours in 2018—had gone their separate ways. The actress' rep was forced to deny break-up rumours back in August 2024 and then almost a year later, Dakota was seen out in New York without her engagement ring. Neither Dakota nor Chris has confirmed or spoken about the reports yet, but a source has claimed that the rumoured split has been "painful" for the daughter of Melanie Griffiths. Speaking to the Sun, they revealed: "Dakota wanted this relationship to work. "She not only loves Chris, but his two kids, and that loss feels incredibly painful. The decision to end things was amicable, but Dakota is finding it hard. "Over the past year, it became clear that their relationship had stalled and wasn't moving forwards." However, Chris—who shares kids Apple Martin, 21, and Moses Martin, 19, with ex Gwyneth Paltrow—is still supporting his ex as he encouraged them to see her new film. ‌ During his June 1 Coldplay show in California, he told the crowd, 'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists!' Dakota was seen looking very cosy with her Materialists co-star at the New York City premiere of her new movie on Saturday night. ‌ While she attended the event and posed for photos, the actress had Chris Evans' arm tightly wrapped around her waist. Dakota looked in high spirits as she stood in front of the cameras with the Marvel star, but it wasn't him she locked lips with. In the absence of Pedro Pascal, who also stars in the film as the actress' 'perfect match', she held up a cardboard cut-out of her on-screen love interest and kissed his photo instead.

Dakota Johnson shares Chris Martin's reaction to her dream about British singer

Actress Dakota Johnson has revealed her dream about The 1975's Matty Healy, which saw the singer morphing into a vegetable to dodge the police, with Chris Martin's reaction Newly single Dakota Johnson has revealed her ex Chris Martin's brilliant reaction to her wacky dream about singer Matty Healy. The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, recently ended their romantic relationship after eight years together. Chatting with comedian Amy Poehler, Dakota recalled having a bizarre dream about The 1975 hitmaker. "I actually had a dream the other night," Dakota told host Amy during the latest episode of the Good Hang podcast. "Matty Healy from The 1975 was in my dream and he was murdering people, and he was Matty Healy as himself." ‌ Dakota, who recently enjoyed a dinner date with Matty's ex Taylor Swift, then went on to note how the dream got even stranger, with her dream version of Matty morphing into a vegetable to dodge the police. "When the people were looking for him—they were cops maybe," Dakota continued, "he would turn into a piece of asparagus." ‌ If that wasn't weird enough, an Oscar-winning actress then entered the dream. "I saw these two poles and a bed and I was like, 'Matty?'" Dakota said. "The sheets came down and it was him as an asparagus and Angelina Jolie as an asparagus. They were getting married, and they left in a helicopter together as asparagus." The next morning, Dakota shared her wild dream with her then-boyfriend Chris. The Fix You songwriter was fascinated by Dakota's subconscious, telling her: "That's a really good pitch for a movie." Dakota and Chris reportedly split over his reluctance to set a wedding date. . Insiders allege that the frustration stemming from this hesitancy contributed to the end of their eight-year relationship, with 35 year old Dakota particularly "sick" that no date had been decided. The two became engaged years after their on-off romance took off in 2017, following the dad-of-two's split from his ex-wife, Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A source told Page Six: "She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding." ‌ Others in Dakota and Chris' inner circle reckon disagreements on starting a family played a role too. Another insider claimed: "They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids." While Dakota, unlike her former beau, has never tied the knot or had children, she has hinted at her desire for both. A confidant shared with The Sun, "They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She'd [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life." Following the news of the couple's split, an insider disclosed: "They just haven't been able to figure out to make it official. Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much. "Breakups aren't instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they'd get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren't right for each other anymore... "Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them."

Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong in 2026 for ‘The Mayhem Ball' Tour

Yeah, we had Coldplay take over the entire territories, the comeback of Nicholas Tse, and Mandopop king Jay Chou coming later this month, but let's be real – we're also still smarting over the fact that Singapore got both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga but not us! However, the tide might be turning, as there are now rumours swirling that Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong next year. Back in March, Mother Monster announced her upcoming eighth concert tour 'The Mayhem Ball' which is set to commence on July 16. The plan was for the concert to travel across North American, European, and Australian cities, but on June 10, Lady Gaga also announced five dates for Japan, running from January 21 to 29 in Osaka and Tokyo. The plot twist here is that the Lady Gaga news fan account @MayhemBallTour on X had previously already proclaimed on April 9 that the artist will have Tokyo dates. When asked for hints on the whole Asia leg of the tour, they posted emoji flags of Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong – so we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll actually get Gaga in Kai Tak Stadium or AsiaWorld-Expo come 2026! Interestingly, Hong Kong singer Joey Yung went to Lady Gaga's recent 'The Art of Personal Chaos' concert in Singapore recently and posted on Instagram in Chinese that she 'hopes she'll be able to enjoy it again in Kai Tak'. These industry insiders know something we don't… If the online rumours are anything to go by, Lady Gaga might be putting on three Hong Kong shows in February 2026. Stay tuned for more information as we learn them!
