I was trying to find the first mention of this in our archives, but all I could find was the story about how Gwyneth Paltrow?s London neighbors hate her and think she?s a gauche, tacky American. But I do remember reading ? months ago? ? that Goop?s LA neighbors hate her too. I guess I just never wrote about it. The main complaint from Goop?s LA neighbors is that she and Chris Martin erected a huge black gate on their property which violated many of the community standards and/or zoning laws. The neighbors asked Gwyneth and Chris to take the gate down, but they did not. And now the neighbors are complaining to Radar:
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are staying civil post-split, but it?s a different matter entirely when it comes to their neighbors! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the angry residents who live close to the couple?s $10 million mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, have accused the pair of being the neighbors from hell ? and now, Paltrow and Martin are even facing prosecution!
Paltrow and Martin bought the home in 2012. According to neighbors, Paltrow immediately planted four layers of huge fir trees surrounding the property and installed a huge nine-foot black gate that violated zoning laws in the posh neighborhood. A complaint was filed with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. But a year later, they still haven?t torn it down and their livid neighbors are demanding action.
The couple should have replaced it with a smaller gate within 45 days or incurred a $900 fine. A Los Angeles City Council spokesman said that for that particular property the height limitation is 3.5ft ? more than five feet shorter than the one the couple currently has. But this is only the start of the list of complaints by neighbors, who have spent more than a year living next to what one described as a ?building site.?
?There was always work being done at the house,? one neighbor reveals. ?I only got annoyed when the workmen would illegally park in my driveway and they hadn?t even spoken to me about it.?
When faced with such issues, neighbors were forced to go through a middleman instead of approaching the famous duo directly.
?I spoke to a guy called Oliver who seems to deal with all their issues to do with their neighbors, the house and community,? the source says. ?He sorted it. We never got to see Gwyneth; we?d only go through Oliver,? the source explains.
Other neighbors confirmed that Paltrow is barely seen in the neighborhood, despite saying in an interview last year that she was desperate to drag the family to Los Angeles so that their kids Apple and Moses could go swimming and ?pick avocados.? Instead, neighbors say it?s been Martin who?s been overseeing home base for the family.
?We used to see Chris walking the dogs,? neighbor Hilda McGonigle reveals. ?He was a really nice guy. He was the one with the talent; she was the one just writing cook books. To some people, their issues might get on people?s nerves, but I personally didn?t care. I didn?t have much time for her, but I liked him.?
Now that the couple has split, another neighbor says, ?It?s weird timing ? he was building a studio in the back of the house, so it makes no sense he wanted to leave here. He seemed happy. But she wasn?t as popular with the street.?
In fact, some neighbors were even scared to speak about her on the record. One said fearfully, ?I don?t want anything bad to happen to me, so I can?t say anything. Last time I did, then it was difficult, so now I don?t want any problems.?
McGonigle explains, ?It?s a really active community, but we don?t see much of them. When they moved in they had Do Not Trespass signs put up at their school and all over their property. Then they had the big gates put in and four layers of trees. I actually felt bad for them, as there was so much media intrusion when they moved in, I had paparazzi blocking my way into my own drive. It got so bad the police got involved. There was no sense of privacy, but I know it annoyed the neighbor next door.?
Still, she insists that the couple should take down the gate, even as they focus on their divorce. She insists, ?It?s against the zoning laws to do it, as it ruins the sense of community if everyone had those gates.?
[From Radar]
Is this just typical sexist BS? It seems like Chris was the one around more and actually talking to the neighbors and Gwyneth was the one with her nose in the air, ignoring the peasantry and so she got blamed for all of the neighbors? complaints when it was really about Chris and Gwyneth BOTH? Now, all that being said? yes, it wouldn?t kill Gwyneth to deign to speak to her peasant neighbors or to work out some of the issues people have with the big, ugly gate.

Over the weekend, some UK papers were trying to play it like Chris Martin is super-committed to making his marriage work. Ha. A source told The Mirror: ?Chris still loves Gwyneth and would still like the marriage to survive. He hopes they might be able to rediscover what they had years ago and would love to rebuild their relationship back to what it once was.? Homeboy, please. Now, if ?sources? were trying to convince me that Chris liked the arrangement that he and Gwyneth had where he could bang other women and Gwyneth just had to live with it (and she was banging other people too), then we might be on to something. I?ve been asking myself this for a week: why NOW? What was the ?breaking point? between them? If you told me that it was Gwyneth who finally decided that she couldn?t live the ?open marriage? lifestyle anymore, than I wouldn?t be surprised.
Now, all that being said, I do think those quotes from the UK underline a certain point: both Gwyneth and Chris want to come out of this marriage looking like the ?good one.? Both want to come out with the public sympathy, and both want to make it seem like they really gave it their all and tried to work out their differences. How this whole mess plays out in the media ? especially now that major outlets are confirming the Alexa Chung rumors ? will be interesting to see in the coming weeks and months. But what about the money? Don?t be gauche, darling.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin will end their marriage amicably … in large part because they’ve each done things during the marriage they DON’T want ending up in legal docs.
Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ … this is NOT a separation. They are definitely getting divorced. But both are concerned about serious PR damage if the divorce turns ugly, and they don’t want to open the door to media reports about them straying from the marriage as well as other issues.
The concern … even if the case doesn’t go to trial … any allegation put down in legal docs could end up getting leaked … and both Gwyneth and Chris agree … that’s the worst case scenario for both of them.
The soon-to-be-exes even spent the weekend together … with friends … in the Bahamas — more proof this is gonna be totally civil.
We’re told the divorce will be relatively quick and there are no apparent conflicts. They will not fight over money and they won’t fight over custody.
[From TMZ]
But who will custody of the publicists?!?! No, I imagine this is true ? Gwyneth and Chris will figure out some equitable solution to their real estate, financial holdings and custody of their children, and it will probably look a lot like what they?ve already been doing for the past few years. Gwyneth will keep the American properties, Chris will keep the UK property, Gwyneth will have primary custody but Chris will be involved and he?ll get to spend time with Apple and Moses when he?s not touring. But! All of that has nothing to do with the leaks (controlled or otherwise) and public jockeying for sympathy.

Have you read this week?s Goop-letter? It?s called ?One Bird, Three Meals,” which sounds like p0rn, but she?s just talking about chicken. Anyway, Gwyneth Paltrow did a postscript: ?CM and I in deep gratitude for the support of so many.? I would imagine that only Gwyneth?s A-list friends are supporting her, and even then? it?s questionable. We might be surprised by how many people come down on Team Alexa Chung. Anyway, there are some assorted pieces of news/gossip from the past few days, so let?s get to it:
*According to the UK gossips, Gwyneth is ?ready to have another boyfriend? She’s very much about having fun.? Methinks she?s already had several boyfriends while still married, but sure, for argument?s sake, let?s say that she?s ?ready? to have an official boyfriend. I think she?s going to wait a bit. I really do. Even though we all know that her marriage has been bad for a while, Gwyneth probably thinks it?s terribly gauche not to ?mourn? the marriage for a certain amount of time.
*Page Six says that Gwyneth and Chris plan to live in separate wings of the same Malibu mansion while they are consciously uncoupling. A source says: ?The place actually includes two totally separate living spaces under one roof so Paltrow and Martin can live together – apart – during their divorce.? That will last about a month? and then he?ll probably move out, I would think.
*Us Weekly says that Blythe Danner, Goop?s mom, was and is very fond of Chris and she doesn?t know why her insufferable daughter has to get a divorce. A source tells Us Weekly that Blythe is ?really upset. She loves Chris. She begged Gwyneth not to end it, that he’s a good man. But Gwyneth had to do what she felt was best.”
Last thing: I?ve seen some sites trying to guesstimate as to Chris and Gwyneth?s net worth and how they?ll split their assets. I would think that they probably didn?t have a pre-nup (so gauche), and I?m assuming Gwyneth will file for divorce in California. I?ve been thinking for a while now that most of Gwyneth and Chris?s assets are tied up in real estate, from London to the Hamptons to Manhattan to two properties in California. Gwyneth will likely keep the New York properties (the apartment was hers to begin with) and?? Beyond that, I have no idea. Will Chris live in that gauche London mansion all by himself?

You know what I love? I love that all of the media sites ? especially the NY outlets ? are calling out Vanity Fair and Graydon Carter for not having the brass to pull the trigger on a real Gwyneth Paltrow tell-all. The NYDN says that Vanity Fair did have the scoop on Gwyneth and Chris Martin?s separation and that Gwyneth got Graydon Carter to bury it by whining, basically. Sources say that Chris and Goop have ?had an open relationship for quite some time.? Yep.
Anyway, this interview happened before Gwyneth announced her split, but it looks particularly bad now that Gwyneth will have to deign to rebrand her image as a boldly delightful and richly fun single mother.
Just a week before Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced they were separating, the actress opened up to E! News about her plans for the coming year. Paltrow, who just signed on as the new face of natural skin care line Restorsea, revealed that she’s taking some time off to focus on her two children, Apple, 9, and Moses, 7.
“I just finished a movie in January that I was doing at the end of last year in London with Johnny Depp, and then I had two weeks here, and then I did a couple of episodes for Glee for the 100th episode,” she shared with us.
“So I have to go back to mommy?I have a rule about one movie a year, so I can’t shoot anything for a while, but I’m developing some material and working on the site [Goop] and raising kids.”
The 41-year-old Hollywood A-lister also explained how it’s trickier to maintain her film career now that her children are getting older.
“It’s much harder for me. I feel like I set it up in a way that makes it difficult because?for me, like if I miss a school run, they are like, ‘Where were you?’ I don’t like to be the lead so I don’t [have] to work every day, you know, I have little things that I like and obviously I want it to be good and challenging and interesting and be with good people and that kind of thing.”
She added, “I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”
[From E! News]
Yes, she totally said that. Gwyneth Paltrow does not feel ?sorry? for any of you peasant mothers with your 9-to-5 ?jobs? in some kind of ?office.? At least you get to keep an orderly schedule! Pity poor Gwyneth, she has to go to WISCONSIN for two weeks and then the rest of the year she just needs to recuperate in one of her five mansions while two nannies attend to the children and her personal chef makes her a cabbage smoothie for her tenth juice fast of the year. YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SHE STRUGGLES.
Dame Gwyneth wishes she had the luxury of just staying in one place and making ?minimum wage? (?What IS this ?minimum wage? people keep speaking of?? Gwyneth wondered. ?Does it have something to do with hedge funds??) at some sort of food distribution establishment. She wishes she was that lucky! Instead she has to fly to Wisconsin, for goodness sake, and then to New York for a photo shoot (ugh, how draining) and then to London for a party (another party, how gauche) and then to Paris for a fitting (the worst!) and then back to LA for an awards show (so exhausting). And then when Gwyneth chooses to work, it?s always so dreadful? so many assistants bringing her water and coffee and so many people doing her hair and makeup and then they expect her to, like, stand in proper lighting and say some words. It?s truly dreadful. You have absolutely no idea how exhausting the whole process is.
(Of course the really funny thing is that Gwyneth really does work so much harder than, say, Duchess Kate.)

Look, if you don’t understand the hate for Gwyneth Paltrow by now, there’s absolutely nothing I can do for you. I’m not even sure reading this will change your mind because, much like Gwyneth, you live in another world.
Gwyneth recently opened up to E! News about her plan of doing only one movie a year so she can spend more time with her kids. She explained how much harder it was to maintain her film career as her children get older.
“It’s much harder for me. I feel like I set it up in a way that makes it difficult because?for me, like if I miss a school run, they are like, ‘Where were you?’ I don’t like to be the lead so I don’t [have] to work every day, you know, I have little things that I like and obviously I want it to be good and challenging and interesting and be with good people and that kind of thing.”
“I think it’s different when you have an office job, because it’s routine and, you know, you can do all the stuff in the morning and then you come home in the evening. When you’re shooting a movie, they’re like, ‘We need you to go to Wisconsin for two weeks,’ and then you work 14 hours a day and that part of it is very difficult. I think to have a regular job and be a mom is not as, of course there are challenges, but it’s not like being on set.”
Oh, yes. The struggle is very real for Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s not easy being both a mom and an actor who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend in front of a camera. Not to mention the two week vacations where you have to, ugh, read lines off a script for 14 hours a day.
You office moms have it made. You get to pick up your kid in the morning, clock in, clock out and make dinner in the evening day in and day out never having to change your routine for 18 years. So lucky.

The breaking news last night was Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin?s ?sudden? separation, or as Gwyneth called it on Goop, ?Conscious Uncoupling.? By the way, Goop.com is still crashing for me. THAT is the real story ? that Goop.com?s servers blow. But I?ll admit to be surprised by Chris and Gwyneth?s separation. As I said yesterday, I was expecting it, waiting for it two years ago. But they have seemed much tighter lately. So, what happened? Perhaps it was an alleged affair. Perhaps it was the Vanity Fair ?takedown? which never arrived. Perhaps it was? God knows. Anyway, there?s some new information percolating this morning, so let?s get to it.
Us Weekly says that Chris Martin and Goop traveled to the Bahamas yesterday in advance of the announcement. They took their kids too ? maybe it?s Apple and Moses? spring break? Maybe they just wanted to explain the separation to the kids away from all the noise.
The Daily Mail has 20 million new stories about Chris and Goop. A source says that they traveled to the Bahamas because ?Going away together may seem unusual but that’s Gwyneth and Chris. Foremost they want the kids to see they mean business about remaining a family, and another… they want to miss the fallout.? Chris also gave Gwyneth a gift to mark their separation: a painting of a bird in flight (FREEBIRD).
One of the most interesting takes ? and I think this is for real too ? is the discussion on what led up to this split, and how it has to do with their move, last year, to LA. Chris has always seemed like an a?hole about getting his way, and it surprised me that he would have agreed to move to LA, which is clearly what Gwyneth wanted. And Radar & the Daily Mail say that the move was a big factor:
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin insist they?ll ?co-parent? kids Apple and Moses post-split ? but they?ll do it from different continents! RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that while Paltrow plans to stay in L.A., her rocker ex is going back to his native England.
The Academy award winning actress and the Coldplay frontman announced their plans to ?consciously uncouple? on Gwyneth?s website, Goop.com website on Tuesday. The couple had moved to Los Angeles last summer, after living in London for most of their marriage. However, Martin, 37, has been unhappy since moving to LaLa land.
?Chris doesn?t have any family or friends in Los Angeles. His Coldplay bandmates are based in London, and that is where his world is. Gwyneth had always said she never wanted to live in LA, and then, abruptly changed her mind last year. The plan is for Gwyneth to remain in California, with their children. Chris will absolutely be moving back to London, but will commute back and forth to see the kids,? a source told RadarOnline.com.
Martin and Coldplay are expected to embark on a world tour to promote their upcoming album, Ghost Stories, which is being released on May 19. Radar broke the story: Martin had been miserable since decamping to sunny SoCal. Prior to the separation announcement, Martin told Gwyneth he had wanted to move back to England, with the kids, once the school year was over.
?He hasn?t been happy living in Los Angeles because Chris just isn?t into the Hollywood scene. Since moving to LA, Chris has been away from the band, and he has essentially put his career on the back burner,? a source previously told us. ?At first, Chris was doing it for Gwyneth because of the sacrifices she made for him, especially since he would be on the road for months at time while the band was touring. However, Chris now recognizes that Gwyneth doesn?t need to be living in Los Angeles for her career?Yes, she is closer to her mom Blythe Danner and friends, but Chris is away from his family and pals. From the beginning of their relationship, Gwyneth always told Chris she wanted to live in London. The couple also owns a home in the Hamptons, and Chris would much rather live there than in Los Angeles.?
The separation comes on the heels of their purchase of a $14 million Malibu house and they already own a lavish estate in the Pacific Palisades, Calif.
[From Radar]
I do think this was a big part in why they split. I mean, of course there was other stuff and I would imagine other people involved in the split as well. But the whole ?where is our homebase?? thing really clinched it. Gwyneth moved to London full-time for him (and she wouldn?t shut up about it either) and within months of moving the family to a city where she has friends and family, suddenly Chris throws a fit? Yeah. That happened.

About an hour ago, Gwyneth Paltrow sent out an email that promised a special GOOP announcement. No, it wasn’t an affordable $575 scarf perfect for spring. It was an announcement that she and Chris Martin were getting a divorceafter 10 years of marriage.
It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.
Love,
Gwyneth & Chris
So what went wrong? Was it that Whisper rumor of Paltrow cheating on Martin with an entertainment lawyer? Well, that couldn’t have helped. But, I bet it’s because Chris Martin wouldn’t stop wearing white after Labor Day. That asshole.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin are OVER. OMG. I can?t? I don?t? OMG. I mean, I guess we?ve known that there were problems. If this was, say, 2011-12, I would have been expecting it a bit more. They went through a rough patch and it seemed like they were barely even spending time together. But then there was some kind of reconciliation and they?ve seemed much, much stronger over the past year. But there were cracks in the goopy faade. Maybe it started with all of the controversy around the Vanity Fair ?tell-all? that never happened. Maybe it was that rumor that Goop was banging Kevin Yorn. Maybe it was an inability to keep up with all of their real estate (seriously, they have a lot of real estate). Anyway, here?s the separation announcement, courtesy of Goop (which has crashed, by the way):

All together now: HOW GAUCHE. Separations are for peasants!! I can?t believe that Dame Gwyneth couldn?t find SOME way to make it work. It makes me wonder about some kind of conspiracy? do you think that one of them simply couldn?t keep up the marriage faade any longer? Was it Chris who had enough? or was it Gwyneth? If it?s Gwyneth, I actually kind of wonder if she doesn?t have a jump-off lined up already.
Anyway, I know I?m being glib about this. I?m actually a little sad for Goop and Chris. I?m off to shed a few organic tears.

Gwyneth Paltrow will appear on tonight?s hour-long episode of Glee. It?s the 100th episode of the show, so apparently there will be some big show-stopping numbers, big-name guest stars and such. To preview the episode, Glee producers released the audio of Gwyneth covering Pharrell Williams? Oscar-nominated song ?Happy?. Previously, Gwyneth has covered Adele?s ?Turning Tables,? which was sacrilegious to me just because that song is really beautiful and Gwyneth?s voice is nowhere near as strong as Adele?s. Anyway, here?s Gwyneth?s Glee version of ?Happy?:
I think? this is not good. Gwyneth?s voice isn?t strong enough for this song either and it sounds very filtered and like they used a lot of studio magic to make her sound less screechy and nasal. And here?s what I never understand about Glee: why do they cover so many songs with the same basic musical arrangement as the original songs?
Gwyneth also submitted her ?Spring Playlist? to Jay-Z?s Life + Times site. You can see her Spring Mix here. She lists: The National, Beyonce, Haim, Haerts and more.
Oh, and Gwyneth and Chris have reportedly bought a $14 million beach house in Malibu too. You can see photos here ? it?s really beautiful. The tennis court seems a bit unnecessary (Malibu space is at a premium).
