Gwyneth Paltrow may be starring in Iron Man 3 this spring, but she is in the news these days for reasons beyond her acting career. In an interview Sunday, the Oscar winner opened up about a miscarriage that nearly took her life ; while Paltrow is also under some fire for a gluten-free recipes cook book coming out next month. But in a new Q&A with Self , the 40-year old stands by her diet and her beliefs, explaining how this change has affected her life. “You feel lighter and your emotions get smoother,” Paltrow tells the magazine of axing gluten. “[Before the diet, I] had a lot of unexpressed anger. I made everyone else’s feelings more important than my own. I’d suck it up and then be alone in my car yelling at traffic or fighting with hangers in my closet when they got stuck together.” Among other topics touched on by the beautiful star: Dealing with problems : “You’re not learning anything unless you’re having the difficult conversations. Dealing with things directly changed my relationships. Sometimes when you get clear about who you are, others get less comfortable because they liked who you were.” Why she had to change : “I had to sing at awards shows, which was fun but stressful. I’d have a Guinness and a beta-blocker every time. I also was constantly getting on airplanes, trying to knock myself out with sleeping pills and wine, waking up, trying to sweat it out with exercise and a steam, and then working really hard all day. Eventually, I had a panic attack. My body was like, ‘What is happening?’” Changes in her life : “I watch Homeland or New Girl . I also like to have martinis with my girlfriends. I feel a sisterhood emerging around me. I’m less threatening now that I’m 40 and not 26-with-an-Oscar. There’s a sense of love and support. I feel really lucky.”
Thanks to yesterday’s surprising Facebook “coming out” of sorts, the gossip world now knows for certain that Lindsey Vonn is dating Tiger Woods . Awesome. He’s also made strides with Elin Nordegren of late. The former spouses both came together to cheer on their 5-year-old daughter Sam at her youth soccer game yesterday, according to reports. Lindsey, 28, stayed in the car at the Jupiter, Fla., venue as Tiger, 37, and Elin, 33, sat at opposite sides of the bleachers, trying not to attract attention. It’s the second time in a month they came together for a sporting event, however, and they’ve even been seen talking to and smiling at each other. Crazy, we know. After the events of 2009-10, it’s impressive. Time heals all wounds, we suppose, as do new romances. Elin is reportedly dating Chris Cline , though we don’t expect any Facebook confirmation of that. And they all lived happily ever after? We can only hope.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat won their 23rd consecutive game last night, coming back in the fourth quarter against the Boston Celtics and winning 105-103 on a LeBron jumper with 10 seconds remaining. But it was two points from the superstar from earlier in the game that really stand out. Following a Miami steal, Norris Cole lobbed a seemingly uncatchable pass to his teammate from under the Boston basket. But watch now as James swoops in, snags the ball at least 12 feet in the air and posterizes Jason Terry: LeBron James Alley-Oop The only question now remaining: Which slam was better: This one, or DeAndre Jordan’s dunk over Brandon Knight?
It ain’t official until it’s on Facebook! Tiger Woods Confirms Relationship With Lindsey Vonn Rumors had swirled around Woods and Vonn for the past few months . Vonn neither confirmed nor denied her relationship with Woods in January, but when the golfer sent his private plane to pick up the Olympic skier after her injury last month, it was clear that they were something more than friends. The golfing star posted a message and photos on his Facebook page confirming his “very close” relationship with the Olympic gold medalist. This season has been great so far and I’m happy with my wins at Torrey and Doral. Something nice that’s happened off the course was meeting Lindsey Vonn.

Our relationship evolved from a friendship into something more over these past few months and it has made me very happy. I don’t plan on addressing this further as I would like to keep that part of my life between us, my family and close friends. Thank you for understanding and your continued support! xo LV We told ya so! Facebook
It’s NCAA Tournament time once again! With the field of 68 teams competing for the 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship revealed Sunday, it’s time to let the bracket frenzy begin! You don’t have to be an expert to fill out an NCAA bracket. In fact, the experts are often wrong, which is the beauty of this event, one of the best in sports. The four No. 1 seeds – Louisville, Kansas, Indiana and Gonzaga – are the obvious favorites, but perhaps less so than in years past after a wild season. It’s been tough to find a consensus #1 all year long in college hoops, and in a single-elimination format, you know anything can and will happen. In fact, double-digit seeds are advancing more often than ever. In 2012 alone, two No. 15 seeds Norfolk State and Lehigh busted countless brackets by taking down No. 2 seeds Missouri and Duke, respectively. Which underdogs do you think will surprise in 2013? Check out the full NCAA bracket after the jump! The “First Four” games, a.k.a. the play-in games, bring the field to 64 on March 19-20, with the “second round” games kicking off March 21-22. The third round is contested March 23-24, while the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight take place March 28-31, the Final Four April 6 and the title game April 8. Who do you like to win it all? What lesser teams do you think might make a run? Who’s totally overrated? Who got snubbed from the field altogether?
Two Steubenville (Oh.) High School football players accused of raping an allegedly drunk 16-year-old girl were found guilty by an Ohio judge on Sunday. Judge Thomas Lipps announced his decision after reviewing evidence against Trent Mays, 17, and Ma’lik Richmond, 16, who were tried as juveniles. The victim was not in the courtroom when the ruling was read. Steubenville High School Students Joke About Rape (Leaked) Mays and Richmond were tried before Lipps, a visiting judge, without a jury. Mays was also found guilty of disseminating a nude photo of a minor. “Human compassion is not taught by a teacher, a coach or a parent. It is a God-given gift instilled in all of us,” the victim’s mother said after court. “You displayed not only a lack of compassion, but a lack of any moral code.” The woman said her daughter will persevere and move on, adding that she has pity for Mays and Richmond, who will both face tough sentences. Mays was sentenced to a minimum of two years in a juvenile correctional facility. Richmond was sentenced to a minimum of one year. Both could stay there until age 21. The Department of Youth services will rule whether the two boys will be detained longer, Lipps said, adding it will depend on their behavior and rehabilitation. Mays and Richmond will be credited for time served before the trial. The ruling brings an end to a trial that has gained national attention for its lurid text messages, cell phone pictures and videos, and social media posts. A scandalous YouTube video in which Steubenvlle students joked about the rape of the girl (above) also gained national attention last summer. According to prosecutors, each of them penetrated the victim’s vagina with his fingers, an act that constitutes rape under Ohio law if it is not consensual. Attorneys for the two boys had said they were not guilty. At the heart of the case was the question of whether the victim was too drunk to understand what was happening to her and to consent to the acts. Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said more charges in the case could be forthcoming. He intends to call a grand jury to hear more evidence. “We cannot bring finality to this case without convening a grand jury,” he said, noting that there were 16 people who had refused to talk to investigators. He said the accuser was also re-victimized through social media. During closing statements on Saturday, attorneys for the two boys argued the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that their clients raped the girl. They also said that an avalanche of cell pictures and videos and social media posts, as well as national media coverage ahead of the trial, tainted testimony. The judge evidently disagreed. The girl testified Saturday that she remembered drinking at a big party that night and then holding Mays’ hand as she left with him, Richmond and others. The next thing she remembers, she told the court, is waking up naked on a couch in an unfamiliar house, unable to find her clothes or belongings. The girl told the court she had a flashback memory of throwing up in a street somewhere sometime after she left the first party. The victim was the 28th and final witness in a trial that has shone an unwelcome spotlight on Steubenville H.S. and its “Big Red” football program. Critics have accused community leaders and players themselves of trying to paper over rampant misconduct by members of the highly regarded team. The case has attracted the attention of bloggers and even the hacking group Anonymous, but the lead prosecutor dismissed all of the hype, saying: “This case is about a 16-year-old girl who was taken advantage of, toyed with and humiliated. And it’s time people who did this to her are held responsible.”
Today’s edition of the Today mill focuses on Ann Curry and her alleged reaction to reports that Matt Lauer may be fired from the struggling show. If you assumed Curry would be laughing all the way to the bank with her severance check, think again. She’s more upset with NBC than anything. While plenty pissed at her former co-host – who she wishes would just shut up – Curry places the blame on NBC for empowering Lauer in the first place. According to reports, the powers that be have allowed him to become a diva, when they should’ve limited his power and kept him focused on journalism. “Ann should be crowing from the rooftops about Matt’s contract not being renewed, but that’s just not who she is,” a source close to Curry says. “Remember, Ann herself was blamed last year for the show losing ratings to Good Morning America … they fired her and the situation didn’t improve!! “There’s a real culture of passing the buck and looking for a scapegoat at Today and it seems that it’s Matt’s turn now to be thrown under the bus.” “She doesn’t blame him for her firing, but Ann feels Matt was afforded way too much power and input when it came to programming decisions.” “At the end of the day he’s just a journalist.” “The line between journalist and executive producer was clouded and Ann thinks the network bosses have no one to blame for the slide but themselves.” Ratings were slipping before Ann Curry’s firing , but the bad PR from that only made things worse, damaging Lauer’s reputation and increasing GMA ‘s lead.
