Gwyneth Paltrow is a cover girl for Elle September 2011 issue. The looks trim and glam in the photo shoot wearing Christopher Kane, Tom Ford and Louis Vuitton creations. The issue features two covers and a photo set shot by Carter Smith. Paltrow looks great and talks marriage, career, and being herself. After a long time playing serious and melodramatic roles the actress has found that she doesn’t care what others will think of her if she showed her real more fun side.
On her performance with Cee Lo Green at the Grammys and Beyonce: “Beyoncé’s like, ‘Okay. The singing is great. But you’re not having any fun.’ She’s like, ‘Remember when we’re at Jay’s concert and Panjabi MC comes on and you do your crazy Indian dance? Do that. Be you!’”
On taking smaller and funner roles: “I can do short jobs. If I was still starring in three movies every year, there’s no way that I’d be the person my kids want when they fall down.”
“I’m sick of doing the crying-in-my-soup part. I want to laugh. I want to sing. The main thing is, I want to have fun.”
On Chelsea Lately: “Doing Chelsea Handler is like doing Howard Stern: You’ve gotta rise to the occasion. It’s good to shock people who think of me as the prim Gwyneth Paltrow.”
On being more herself: “If you speak to my friends who’ve known me since I was four, they’ll say, ‘That is her.’ They always said to me, ‘You’re the dirtiest person in the world and so funny. Show the world that side of you.’ I felt guarded. I felt like if I really showed people more of me and I was still not accepted, then…Who cares. You just realize it doesn’t matter what people think of you.”
