New book reveals how Gwyneth Paltrow really felt about Brad Pitt's marriage to Jennifer Aniston
During a September 2000 interview at the Toronto Film Festival, a 'gossipy reporter' asked the Shakespeare In Love star 'how she felt about Brad Pitt marrying Jennifer Aniston (in July of that year)', as reported by Page Six.
'Are you really asking me this question?' Gwyneth replied, her eyes now 'daggers', according to an excerpt from Odell's book, published by Us Weekly.
Paltrow then added: 'I can't comment on this kind of thing.'
Odell writes: 'In reality, Gwyneth confided to friends that she'd felt sad when she learned they were getting married. (She was also fond of telling them that Brad 'has terrible taste in women.').'
Paltrow, 52, couldn't hide her hurt over Pitt's marriage to the Friends star as she threw another jab at him during a business meeting with Estee Lauder cosmetics heiress Aerin Lauder later that year.
'At one dinner, the two were talking about Brad Pitt. According to someone familiar with the discussion, Gwyneth allegedly told her, 'He's dumber than a sack of s**t,'' the excerpt reads.
Paltrow and Pitt began dating in 1994 after meeting on the set of Se7en. However, Paltrow's 'doubts' about their relationship had her crushing on a different Hollywood heart-throb – Hugh Grant.
'During (the movie) Emma's filming, Gwyneth expressed doubts to one crew member that Pitt was right for her, and admitted that she had a crush on Hugh Grant,' another excerpt from Odell's book reads.
''Brad and I had very different upbringings,' she told an interviewer.
'So when we go to restaurants and order caviar, I have to say to Brad, 'This is beluga and this is osetra'.'
While the pair got engaged in 1996, they called it quits in 1997 and never shared a 'concrete reason for their break-up', Odell writes.
Pitt went on to date Aniston, whom he proposed to in 1999. They tied the knot in Malibu on July 29, 2000, but divorced five years later after Pitt struck up a romance with his Mr and Mrs Smith co-star Angelina Jolie.
Paltrow's next beau would be Ben Affleck, who was 'struggling with alcoholism and a gambling habit' at the time he was introduced to her in 1997, according to the biography. They broke up after a little over a year of dating.
The Goop founder later married Coldplay frontman Chris Martin on December 5, 2003, and welcomed two children: daughter Apple and son Moses. They divorced after more than 10 years of marriage in 2014.
The mogul is currently married to producer Brad Falchuck, whom she wed in 2018.

Mortifying moment Lady Gaga falls to the ground in front of fans in awkward concert blunder
Lady Gaga fell to the ground just inches away from fans during an awkward slip-up at her Las Vegas concert over the weekend. Pop superstar Gaga, 39, was performing Vanish Into You during Saturday night's Mayhem Ball show at the T-Mobile Arena when the mishap unfolded, reports The Sun. It began when one of her cameramen lost his balance after departing the stage and had to be steadied by a nearby security guard. Gaga calmly adjusted the crew member's equipment and continued walking – only to trip herself moments later. She managed to catch her footing and carried on singing, but stumbled again just before the word 'fly' and fell sideways near the edge of the stage. The moment, caught on fan cameras, showed the singer landing close to the front row, where audience members were watching from just feet away. One shared the clip to TikTok, writing: 'MY POOR MOTHER MONSTER FALLING DURING VANISH INTO YOU [crying emoji] AND THE CAMERAMAN JUST BEFORE.' Despite the tumble, Gaga was helped up and immediately resumed the song without missing a beat. The incident took place during the first week of Gaga's global tour, which launched on 16 July and will continue through to January with a final run of shows in Japan. It follows a series of stage mishaps involving other major stars. Beyoncé was recently left suspended mid-air during a Texas show when a red car she was performing in got stuck. During her performance of 16 Carriages, the superstar hopped into a red car which was then lifted high into the air using cables. She pulled on a silver cowboy hat and waved an American flag for her in-air adventures, yet was forced to halt the song as the vehicle leaned dangerously to one side. The crowd paused when she stopped singing and signalled for help, before erupting into cheers as the vehicle was lowered to solid ground. Like a pro, Beyonce continued the song then told her adoring fans: 'I wanna thank y'all, for loving me. 'If ever I fall, I know y'all will catch me.' Katy Perry, meanwhile, nearly fell from a giant sphere on her Lifetimes tour in Australia and later appeared to slip on a butterfly-shaped prop during Roar. She had climbed into the huge metal structure when it began tilting dramatically at a strange angle. An army of quick-thinking backstage crew members raced onto the set in Australia to steady the massive prop so Katy – who was clinging on to the sides – could climb down safely. With the backing music stopped, the crowd could be heard applauding the star and shouting 'go, Katy!' as she made her way out and onto the floor.

Scheana Shay details ‘awkward' hook-up with TV star: ‘It was a one and done'
He did not drive her crazy. Scheana Shay doesn't have the fondest memories of her brief fling with TV heart-throb Adrian Grenier. 'I did not date him,' the Vanderpump Rules star first clarified of the Entourage actor in an exclusive interview with SiriusXM's Page Six Radio on Tuesday. 'It was a one-time, little thing at the Mondrian. A one and done. But, it wasn't fully done because it was just — it was a little awkward.' Shay said after the hook-up, she thought to herself, 'This is not Vinny Chase,' referencing Grenier's Entourage character, who was a suave and successful Hollywood actor. The Bravo star further explained that it was the actor's 'energy' that seemed off during their date, adding, 'We were not on the same wavelength.' She shared that he tried talking to her about a band he is in with his brothers and showed her one of their music videos, but it 'wasn't really [her] vibe.' Grenier, 49, is one of nearly a dozen celebs Shay had romances with, as she reveals in her memoir, My Good Side. She writes in the book, 'Jesse Metcalfe, Eddie Cibrian, John Mayer, Shemar Moore, Josh Hopkins, Shane West, Jesse McCartney, JC Chasez, Adrian Grenier, Ricardo Chavira, William Tell, two actors from The Notebook, and a few NFL, NBA, and MLB players, to name a few.' Prior to her memoir's release, Shay, 40, had been outspoken about her past dalliance with Mayer, 47. However, the Your Body Is a Wonderland crooner reportedly tried to deny it to pal Andy Cohen. 'I mean, I'm sure John doesn't love being a storyline on VPR,' Shay said in response on her Scheananigans podcast in April 2024 before pointing out that she doubted his denial was even true. 'But where did he deny this? Because I'm pretty sure it was the Sun who made that claim. It looks like they just made this up.' Aside from juicy hook-up revelations, Shay's new book also exposes shocking details about her life. The Valley star discloses in it that her husband, Aussie trainer Brock Davies, had an affair when she was pregnant.

Trisha Paytas reveals third child's unusual name, stuns fans
After naming her first daughter Malibu Barbie and her second little girl Elvis, it should come as no surprise that Trisha Paytas has given her newest addition an unusual moniker. But the YouTube star has stunned fans after revealing the name of her third child, a little boy named Aquaman. No, you're not hallucinating. The popular social media star has really named her new baby after a fictitious superhero character who is half human, half sea creature. And it's fair to say, since breaking the news of the baby boy's arrival, the internet has a lot of thoughts on her choice in moniker. 'These will be real humans with jobs. Imagine your thoracic surgeon is called Aquaman,' one wrote on TikTok. 'This doesn't feel real,' commented another. As one said: 'Coming from someone who is named Ariel, why do people name their kids after their favourite characters?' Another argued that the name was 'horrible', adding that it appears many celebrities 'forget that these babies are going to grow up and be an adult'. 'I love Trisssssh, but Aquaman is killing me respectfully,' stated someone else. 'The world is collectively shocked,' mused another, as one woman stated: 'I feel like that should be illegal.' The 37-year-old, who is married to photographer Moses Hacmon, explained on a new episode of her podcast Just Trish, how the pair settled on the unusual moniker. While wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the movie character, Paytas explained that Aquaman was 'so perfect' for their baby boy's name as it combined her love for the movies and Moses' love of water. 'Not only is it so related to me, but it's also so related to Moses,' she said. 'I've been wearing Aquaman T-shirts for years, I've gone to so many comic-cons for Aquaman. And I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman. 'We watched all the Aquamans, I watched the cartoon, I was watching everything.' The popular content creator had hinted at the name on her podcast before Aquaman was born, stating she and Moses were looking to choose a name for their baby boy based on a 'water-themed movie'. It's not the first time the social media star, who has over 12 million followers across TikTok and Instagram, copped a lot of criticism after welcoming Malibu Barbie in 2022. 'Leave it to Trish to give her a horrible name. She's a baby not a doll,' one furious woman wrote on Twitter. 'No way Trisha Paytas named her baby Malibu Barbie …' another questioned. 'Malibu Barbie. It's certainly a bold choice, glad mum, dad and baby are healthy and happy but that's a name,' someone else added. As one ranted: 'Malibu Barbie is cruel and selfish. It is an ugly game played by the poor baby's parents. It is NOT a cute name.' The influencer, who rose to online fame back in 2006, appears to have won over some with her 'bold' baby name choices – with several fans declaring the latest name is 'iconic'.
