Gwyneth Paltrow Vanity Fair Article to Investigate Possible Affair, Kate Middleton Plays Volleyball Three Months After Giving Birth: Top Stories

Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly up in arms about an unflattering Vanity Fair profile.“Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine,” the 41-year-old actress allegedly said in an email to friends several months ago. “If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again.” Paltrow refused to be interviewed for the article when she heard that it would focus on her declining celebrity status, the end of her friendship with Madonna and other negative details. Though it's yet to be published, the New York Post claimed Friday that Paltrow's ire over the piece has to do with its supposed investigation of her relationship with Miami billionaire Jeff Soffer:
Now we’re told that researchers on the story by top VF writer Vanessa Grigoriadis have been asking Miami society sources questions about Paltrow and Soffer, who is considered Miami royalty, owns the lavish Fontainebleau Hotel and recently married Elle Macpherson.
Paltrow's rep adamantly denied the allegations in a statement to the Daily Mail, saying that Soffer offered her -- and many other friends -- a flight to Miami. "It's completely false. Jeff is a longtime friend of Gwyneth's and there was no romantic relationship with him at all, He flew many of his friends to Miami that weekend - not just Gwyneth," the rep said.Despite Paltrow's objections to the story, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter said he would publish Vanessa Grigoriadis' piece -- warts and all. "We started a story on her. We have a very good writer and it'll run," Carter told London's Times Magazine (via E! news) on Sunday. "Well, she sort of forced my hand."

Media expert claims actress is 'not doing herself any favours by being too controlling' over damning feature
Gwyneth Paltrow attempted to brush off the controversy surrounding the imminent publication of a 'damning' feature about her in Vanity Fair magazine as she headed out for dinner on Sunday night.
The 41-year-old actress kept her head down but appeared in good spirits as she grabbed some food at the Japanese restaurant Hakkasan in London's Mayfair.
Gwyneth's outing came after a media expert slammed the actress for being too 'controlling' in her attempts to stop editor Graydon Carter's publication of the 'epic takedown'.

Giggling through the controversy: Gwyneth Paltrow looked in good spirits as she headed out for dinner in London on Sunday night

Brand strategist Linda Ong is quoted as telling The Wrap of Gwyneth's actions: 'She’s not doing herself any favours by trying to be very controlling and perfect in an era when there’s post-economic collapse, it’s widely acknowledged that nobody’s perfect and that there’s no such thing as control.
'It just seems out of touch.'

Mother to Apple, eight, and Moses, seven, Gwyneth is said to be extremely protective of her personal life.

She was furious when she heard of the Vanity Fair report, and emailed pals, telling them: 'If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline.'

Hitting headlines: Despite the 'epic takedown' of her being planned by Vanity Fair magazine, Gwyneth smiled as she left Hakkasan in London's Mayfair

However, VF editor in chief Graydon Carter this week told The Times of London, “We have a very good writer and it’ll run.'Earlier this week, Gwyneth was forced to deny any 'romantic relationship' with supermodel Elle Macpherson's billionaire husband Jeff Soffer - after it was claimed their friendship may be probed in the explosive Vanity Fair article.
The magazine was said to be delving into rumours over her friendship with the property developer, according to Page Six, following a 2008 party in Miami during which they were seen looking close.

Denial: Gwyneth Paltrow has today denied any romantic relationship with Jeffrey Soffer. The pair are seen here at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort Grand Opening Gala, Miami Beach, Florida on November 14, 2008

According to Page Six, researchers on the story by Vanity Fair contributing editor Vanessa Grigoriadis have been asking Miami society sources questions about Paltrow and Soffer, who recently married Aussie supermodel Elle Macpherson.
Soffer was reportedly 'closed off in a private section' with Gwyneth, clad in a little white dress, when she attended the lavish re-opening of his Miami hotel the Fontainebleau in 2008.
He then reportedly gave Gwyneth a private tour of the hotel, whisking her away in his Bentley, and the following day, she joined him on his yacht with Kate Hudson.

However, a spokesman for the Oscar winner told told MailOnline: 'It's completely false. Jeff is a longtime friend of Gwyneth's and there was no romantic relationship with him at all. He flew many of his friends to Miami that weekend - not just Gwyneth.'
Billionaire real estate developer Soffer married Elle in August in an intimate ceremony in Fiji, and a source said: 'They wanted to keep the wedding a secret. They are very happy and head over heels in love.'
It is still as yet unknown as to when the article will be published in Vanity Fair and it is not suggested that Miss Grigoriadis has in fact unearthed any material to fuel speculation about Gwyneth's marriage - or to let alone suggest that she has ever cheated on her husband.

You can't please everyone: Graydon Carter, who has been at the helm of the publication since 1992, says, 'We wouldn't be doing our job if there wasn't a little bit of tension between Vanity Fair and its subjects'

Gwyneth has been married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin since 2003 and last month gave surprising comments in an interview where she revealed she would like to be forgiving if Chris cheated, seeming to insinuate that she would be open-minded about infidelity.
She told Refinery29.com: 'I'm an extremely open-minded person, so I think if it was something I knew I was getting myself into, I wouldn't let it deter me from exploring the relationship.'
While in another interview, she added: 'I am a great romantic — but I also think you can be a romantic and a realist.
'Life is complicated and long and I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extramarital affairs. It's like we're flawed — we're human beings and sometimes you make choices that other people are going to judge.
'That's their problem but I really think that the more I live my life the more I learn not to judge people for what they do.'
But she insisted her marriage to Chris was secure.
