Gwyneth Paltrow had crush on A-list Hollywood heartthrob while dating Brad Pitt

Yahoo17-07-2025
Gwyneth Paltrow once had the hots for this Hollywood heartthrob while she was dating Brad Pitt, a new biography claims.
Paltrow and Pitt became a hot topic when they began dating in 1994. However, Paltrow's 'doubts' about their relationship had her crushing on Hugh Grant, according to 'Gwyneth: The Biography' by Amy Odell.
'During '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,' reads an excerpt from the book, per People.
''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.''
After the film was released, however, Paltrow's relationship woes still left her in emotional turmoil, which led her to seek assistance from her friend makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin. She 'cried about Pitt multiple times.'
'He wanted to be with her but seemed to feel threatened by her success and all the attention she received. [Aucoin's] advice to Gwyneth was frank, 'You really need to end this,'' the book reads.
The two eventually ended their relationship in 1997, but never 'publicly gave a concrete reason for their breakup.'
However, 'two people recalled a rumor about it stemming from Gwyneth cheating on Pitt [with costar John Hannah] while she was filming 'Sliding Doors.' She told Howard Stern in 2015: 'I wasn't ready, and he was too good for me.''
After Paltrow, 52, and Pitt's Hollywood romance ended, the actress went on to date Ben Affleck, who was 'struggling with alcoholism and a gambling habit' at the time he was introduced to Paltrow in 1997, according to the biography.
Though, while she was a fan of their sex life, their relationship ended after a little over a year of dating.
'Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her,' reads an excerpt from the book.
'After they broke up, Gwyneth said, 'I love men, even though they're lying, cheating scumbags.''
Years after calling it quits with Affleck, the Goop founder went on to marry Coldplay rockstar Chris Martin on Dec. 5, 2003. They wound up getting divorced after more than 10 years of marriage in 2014.
They welcomed two children during their marriage: daughter Apple in 2004, and son Moses in 2006.
The mogul is currently married to producer Brad Falchuck, whom she wed in 2018.
'Gwyneth: The Biography' will become available for purchase on July 29 and is available now for preorder.

Ozzy Osbourne's Love for Burritos is Cemented in Chipotle History

Ozzy Osbourne called Chipotle his "favorite, favorite burrito joint" and was the first Celebrity Card recipient Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne considered Chipotle to be a legendary restaurant. The Black Sabbath member, who died at 76 on Tuesday, July 22, expressed his love for the fast food spot in his family's reality show, The Osbournes. And Chipotle had a loving (and historic) response to the late star's admiration. In season 2 episode 6 of the MTV series, the musical icon was entranced while watching a Chipotle employee wrap his burrito. 'This is my favorite, my favorite, favorite, favorite, burrito joint this is,' he said, awestruck and with his hands to his face in disbelief. Ozzy even ordered an extra burrito, explaining one was for now and the other was for later. In the same 2003 episode, when asked how often he ate burritos daily, Ozzy said, 'Twice a day, I am Burrito Man.' Sharon said of her husband, 'Your father can't eat one burrito, he has to have 900 burritos.' Ozzy's love for the fast-casual Mexican restaurant prompted Chipotle to invent a special gift for him: the first Celebrity Card. The Celebrity Card has been gifted to athletes, musicians and other stars for more than 20 years, according to Chipotle's website. But Chipotle expanded its Celebrity Card opportunities to regular customers, allowing fans to apply to become a Celebrity Card holder last year. The card entitles the holder to one free meal every day and a complimentary catering order for up to 50 people with an approximate value of $20,000 A source at Chipotle confirmed to PEOPLE that Ozzy had a card, saying, 'In 2003, a musician turned television star raved about Chipotle on his family's reality television show, prompting Chipotle to issue its first-ever Celebrity Card.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories In a statement on Tuesday, July 22, Osbourne's family told PEOPLE: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." In January 2020, Osbourne revealed that he'd been diagnosed in 2003 with Parkinson's disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement. At the time, he said, "It's not a death sentence." Weeks before his death, Osbourne performed from a throne at the Black Sabbath farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham. It would be his final concert and his first in 20 years with the band that made him a star. Read the original article on People

Rachel Zegler Is Set to Return to 'Evita' After Leaving Mid-Show

Rachel Zegler's gig as the titular character in Jamie Lloyd's revival of Evita at the London Palladium has been all over our social feeds thanks to her stunning performances, but she made headlines for a different reason during her latest show. On July 24, the Cosmopolitan cover girl suddenly exited the stage mid-show as she had fallen ill. According to People, Rachel's departure was announced during intermission, and her understudy, Bella Brown, stepped into the role despite appearing as Perón's Mistress earlier in the night. After a 45-minute intermission, Bella transformed into Evita just in time for the Tony-winning musical's second act. A source in the audience told E! News, 'The interval lasted almost 40 to 45 minutes and then the balcony scene with Bella began. You would have thought the roof was going to cave in from the applause. Even more so when she entered on stage for the first time after the balcony scene.' She opened with the iconic number, 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' marking her second time playing Eva Perón after she made her debut on July 14. In this production, Jamie Lloyd and Andrew Lloyd Webber pulled a page from his Sunset Blvd. book and takes the performance outdoors. At this point in the show, Eva sings to a crowd of Argentinians from the balcony of the Presidential Palace, which is actually the London Palladium's balcony IRL. Since Evita's opening night on July 1, the general public has swarmed the outside of the venue on Argyll Street to catch a glimpse of the stars in action. After Bella carried the rest of the show in Rachel's absence, she received a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes, and according to fans on social media, the cast had bowed 10 separate times during the curtain call. She expressed her appreciation for the cast, crew, and crowd with a series of Instagram Stories following the performance. 'Today really showed just how important swings and covers are within this industry,' the actress later wrote in an Instagram Story. 'They are pillars of a show!! A proud day to be at Evita.' In a separate post, she added, 'What a lucky audience getting to see both myself and MY ANGEL REG ZEG!!' While we hope Rachel has a speedy recovery, her rep confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is scheduled to return and perform Friday evening.
