You’d think she’d learn something about keeping quiet about private matters after all these years of being BFF’s with the Knowles-Carters. Gwyneth Paltrow just celebrated her 9th wedding anniversary but she’s not shy about sharing the difficulties she and hubby Chris Martin have had keeping the peace. Via US Weekly reports : The Iron Man 3 actress celebrates her ninth wedding anniversary with husband Chris Martin on Wednesday, Dec. 5. In a new interview with InStyle UK, Paltrow, 40, admitted that she and the Coldplay frontman, 35, have faced challenges in their relationship mostly due to their busy careers. What’s the hardest part about their marriage? “Probably our artistic temperaments together,” Paltrow said. “Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs, mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write.” The actress is set to reprise her role as Pepper Potts in the upcoming Iron Man 3, and Martin has been touring with Coldplay for their Mylo Xyloto album. Paltrow explained, “The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging.” In addition to their busy careers, they are also parents to daughter Apple, 8, and son Moses, 6. But Paltrow wishes they could have more children! “My brain says, ‘Oh, I think I’m done, the kids are big now and I don’t want to go back to changing diapers.’ But a part of me would love to have another.” “Of course,” she added, “I’m old now!’ Well at least she’s honest right. Those artists can be tough! GSI Media

Aren’t you just wondering who else ranked in under him… Forbes released their list for the Top 10 Overpaid Actors In Hollywood and, other than Eddie topping the ranks at numero uno, you may actually be surprised who landed up on there: #2–Katherine Heigl #3–Reese Witherspoon #4–Sandra Bullock #5–Jack Black #6–Nicolas Cage #7–Adam Sandler #8–Denzel Washington #9–Ben Stiller #10–Sarah Jessica Parker Denzel!?!? For real tho? Forbes gave their reasons for Eddie landing at number one and they didn’t hesitate to name all of his box office flops: Poor Eddie Murphy desperately needs a comeback. Remember back in the day when he was so funny on Saturday Night Live and in movies like Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop? His voice work has helped make movies like Shrek and Mulan tolerable for adults, and even his family-friendly movies, like Norbit and Dr. Dolittle, were good for some chuckles. But lately, Murphy’s career has just collapsed. Imagine That, A Thousand Words and Meet Dave were colossal flops. Last year’s Tower Heist, which was supposed to be something of a return to form for the comedian, failed to wow at the box office, earning $153 million on an estimated budget of $75 million. (In order to even come close to turning a profit, a movie has to earn twice its production budget in ticket sales, plus the millions spent on marketing.) Murphy then backed out of hosting the Oscars, which didn’t help his reputation.His string of flops lands Murphy at the top of our Most Overpaid Actors list for 2012. We estimate that for every $1 Murphy was paid for his last three films, they returned an average of $2.30 at the box office. Ouch! Images via tumblr/WENN

Stevie’s not afraid to tell it like it is ; even if it means getting some criticism for standing up for what he believes in . While he’s pulled out of the concert (which raises money for the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces), some are questioning why he agreed to do it in the first place. According to BBC News , Stevie released a statement explaining exactly why he was backing out: …”I am and have always been against war, any war, anywhere.” A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is currently in place, after a week of violence in Gaza last month. But tensions still run high. On Friday, Israel announced it would authorize the construction of 3,000 more housing units in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank. The decision followed a UN General Assembly vote to upgrade the Palestinians’ status to non-member observer state. Next week’s gala concert supports an organization which raises money for Israeli soldiers and their families. Wonder said the United Nations (and other organizations) had recommended cancelling his performance because he is an official UN “Messenger of Peace”. In his statement, the 62-year-old said he had made the decision with a heavy heart. “Given the current and very delicate situation in the Middle East, and with a heart that has always cried out for world unity, I will not be performing,” he added. The musician said he would make contributions to charities that support Israeli and Palestinian children with disabilities. While the FIDF organization is seemingly for a good cause, you’ve got to admit that seeing Stevie sing at a charity event raising money for Israeli anything would have left a bad taste in some of our mouths; even Former President Jimmy Carter has compared Israel’s actions to apartheid. We’re glad he did what he thought was right and his new donation towards children with disabilities is for the better cause. Images via tumblr
Looks like that Marvin Gaye movie Lenny Kravitz signed up for isn’t all that it was cracked up to be. According to TMZ reports : Marvin Gaye’s son wants his childhood friend Lenny Kravitz to walk away from the role of a lifetime — playing the Motown legend in an upcoming biopic — and says he’s shocked Lenny signed on for a project he calls “shameful.” Kravitz will play Gaye in “Sexual Healing” (working title) — which reportedly focuses on Marvin’s life in the 80s when he battled drug abuse and depression … before his father shot and killed him in 1984. Marvin Gaye III tells TMZ, “The producers and directors of this film are very wrong and shameful … [They’re] trying to do a film about a low period in his life. They don’t even know the whole story.” Marvin’s son says he and Kravitz were schoolmates — and remain friends to this day — so he wants to “talk to him about why he would do this.” Marvin Jr. tells us he and other family members are meeting with lawyers to try to stop production — and added, “I would hope [Lenny] doesn’t have any idea that we are against this film being done.” Dang, that’s tough. If you were in Lenny’s position what would you do? There’s only so many chances for any actor to get a dream role like this one — but how do you go against a longtime friend, who is also the son of the legend you’ve signed up to play?
Mike Tyson is keeping it one hunnid… Mike Tyson Claims Robin Givens Cheated On Him With Brad Pitt Mike Tyson has revealed how he caught Brad Pitt having sex with his then-wife, actress Robin Givens! Via RadarOnline : Speaking on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger show on Yahoo! Sports, Tyson told the interviewer about a surprise encounter he had with Pitt while he was in the process of splitting from Head of the Class star Givens in the late ’80s. “I was doing a divorce but I—we—every day, before I would go to my lawyer’s office to say she’s a pig and stealing, I would go to…her house to have sex with her. This particular day, someone beat me to the punch. And I guess Brad got there earlier than I did.” The heavyweight champ’s reaction? “I was mad as hell. I was going to…you should have saw his face when he saw me,” Tyson told Bensinger. In the explosive video interview, the always-candid Tyson also told Bensinger that he was high on cocaine while playing a role in the smash hit movie The Hangover, released in 2009. “I was a mess,” he admitted. “I was overweight. I was a pig, high on cocaine.” But the athlete said the cast helped him through the rough patch. “They had to know I was messed up. I couldn’t talk. I had the cocaine talk…So those guys are just beautiful people. They had my back, and I appreciate that and stuff, then they asked me to come back” in The Hangover 2. Mike is still pure comedy! Robin was getting it in! Can you blame her?
