Is Gwyneth going bananas? | Daily Mail Online Is Gwyneth going bananas? by KATIE HAMPSON, Daily Mail online Last updated at 15:38 17 May 2004 Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow has given birth to her first child - and named her Apple. However, it is unclear why she named her daughter after a fruit. Paltrow, 31, and her British husband Chris Martin, 27, lead singer of the band Coldplay, said they were 'ecstatic' after the baby was delivered on Friday following a long labour at a London hospital. The baby's full name is Apple Blythe Alison Martin - the other two names are in honour of their mothers, Blythe Danner and Alison Martin. Despite Paltrow and Martin's lithe figures, Apple weighed a whopping 9lb 11oz (4.39 kg). In a statement issued to the media after the birth, the couple said: "We are 900 miles over the moon. "We would like to thank everyone at the hospital who have looked after us amazingly. "Both mother and baby are very well," the statement added.

Paltrow, who was once engaged to Brad Pitt and dated actor Ben Affleck, met Martin backstage at a Coldplay concert in 2002. The couple married in a secret ceremony in southern California last December. Friends say Martin proved a huge support for Paltrow after the sudden death in October 2002 of her father, film director Bruce Paltrow. Martin and the quartet Coldplay have enjoyed huge global success since their acclaimed debut album Parachutes in 2000. They won a coveted Grammy Award for Clocks in February. Paltrow won a best actress Oscar for the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love and recently played the late poet Sylvia Plath.

Personal Quotes (31) Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick. [on her father's ( Bruce Paltrow 's) struggle with throat cancer] It changed me more than anything else. You don't want to get to that place where you're the adult and you're palpably in the next generation. And, this shoved me into that. [on her 1997 separation with Brad Pitt ] It really changed my life. When we split up, something changed, permanently, in me. My heart sort of broke that day, and it will never be the same. I try to remember, as I hear about friends getting engaged, that it's not about the ring and it's not about the wedding. It's a grave thing, getting married. And it's easy to get swept up in the wrong things. I find Sex and the City (1998) irreverent and shocking. It's one step beyond how girls really talk.

I would do a cameo on that show in a flash. I realised life is so short and precious, you should do things that make you feel inspired, that push you and teach you something. I'd rather not have a big house, a huge closet of clothes, diamonds and a private plane, and instead a body of work that I'm proud of. I'm glad that some day my children will be able to see my father and hear his voice, get a sense of who he was. One of the things that disturbs me the most about the fact that he's dead, is that I feel like a statistic. I sort of feel like one of those people who was unfortunate and lost their father when they were 30, and life goes on. But he was so unique and so incredible, I don't like to think about it in those terms. I worked so much in my 20s and I really burnt the candle at both ends.

I wasn't too picky about what I did and I was lucky that I did some really good films, but I also did some really rubbish films, I think part of the downside about being so successful and winning the Oscar at the age of 26 is that I sort of became insouciant about the things that I chose. I thought, "Oh, I'll just try this, it'll be fun or I'll do that for the money." Things like that now I would absolutely never do. The simpler things are, the happier they are. The work gets more difficult as you get older. You learn more and you gather more experiences, there is deeper pain and higher highs. There are certain women in this business who have children and I just think, "You must never, never see them!". You can't do movies back to back and see your child if they go to school. Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business. [on being pregnant while filming Proof (2005)] It was very, very difficult. I was trying not to barf. I felt terrible. Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon , you think, another romantic comedy?

You know. You see her in something like Walk the Line (2005) and think, "God, you're so great!" And then you think, "Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?". But of course, it's for money and status. I just think, "Wouldn't it be great if all of those movies people went to see were about real women?". I love the English way, which is not as capitalistic as it is in America. People don't talk about work and money. They talk about interesting things at dinner parties. I like living here because I don't tap into the bad side of American psychology, which is "I'm not achieving enough, I'm not making enough, I'm not at the top of the pile!". I'm very happy here [in London] and I really like the way the film industry works, everybody cares. I like that it doesn't have this big capitalistic feeling. When you do something in L.A., you really feel the crew are punching the clock. I sort of look at some peers of mine and I think, "No, you've got it all wrong!".

I just want to tell them all to have babies and be happy and not get sucked into that Hollywood thing. I find the English amazing how they got over 7/7. There were no multiple memorials with people sobbing as they would have been in America. There, they are constantly scaring people but at the same time, people think nothing of going to see a therapist. Brits are far more intelligent and civilised than Americans. I love the fact that you can hail a taxi and just pick up your pram and put in the back of the cab without having to collapse it. I love the parks and places I go for dinner and my friends. It's a pretty city, you know. British people don't seem to ask each other out on dates. If someone asked you out they're really going out on a limb, whereas in America it happens all the time. Someone will come up to you and ask you for dinner and you'll say, "Sure!" It's no big deal and no weight should be attached to it. It's only dinner, for God's sake. Yet in Britain, mostly what happens seems to be that people meet at work.

If there's a little something there, then they hang out together and, all of a sudden, they're boyfriend and girlfriend. It would be a lot easier on Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston now had they not talked to the press about each other and everything to begin with. I learned my lesson at 24. [on daughter Apple's accent] She says "Mummy" instead of "Mommy", I don't mind that. I will if she starts saying "basil" and "pasta" the English way, as that really drives me nuts. [on the paparazzi] If I have my daughter in the car and they are making me nervous, I'll do whatever I have to do. I keep a whole log. I take pictures of their cars, write down license plate numbers, everything. If they do it again, I can go to the police. I know my rights and, believe me, I will have them arrested. I will stop at nothing. [on Madonna ] She has evolved with so much wisdom and grace that I would say my favorite Madonna is today's Madonna. She's a beautiful product of all her explorations and incarnations.

(Style magazine, September 2006) I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin. My father found joy in feeding the people he loved - genuine, bursting happiness. He instilled in me the idea that a meal made for your family is an expression of love. [on the "scenery" in View from the Top (2003)] It's like, all of a sudden, I'm in underwear for half the movie. When you're having dinner with your kids and your husband and someone says something funny or your dying laughing because your three-year-old made a joke, it doesn't matter what else is going on. That's real happiness. Women really need to examine why they're so vitriolic to other women. [on Johnny Depp ] Whether it's Morgan Freeman [ Se7en (1995)] at the beginning of my career or Johnny Depp in my last movie [ Mortdecai (2015)], I feel on-my-knees gratitude for being considered a good enough actor to work with actors of that caliber. Johnny is a true genius and when he works he envisages everything. You know I read the script and I thought it was really funny.

I have always wanted to work with Johnny and I'm so lucky they asked me as he is amazing. We had so much fun on set that it was hard not to laugh. I am who I am. I can't pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.

Clendenin / Los Angeles Times Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s “very hands-on” in her Juice Beauty partnership and creating “products that feel luxe and are really effective.” Gwyneth Paltrow says she’s “very hands-on” in her Juice Beauty partnership and creating “products that feel luxe and are really effective.” (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) Ingrid Schmidt True to the philosophy of clean living often preached on her lifestyle website, Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow pulls up to Santa Monica's Casa del Mar hotel behind the wheel of a Toyota Prius.

The entrepreneur and Oscar-winning actress unassumingly travels solo, relaxed in a striped T-shirt, ripped boyfriend jeans and Birkenstocks before changing into Jimmy Choo pumps and a tweed Chanel jumpsuit for a photo shoot. Imperceptible but possibly most important of all, Paltrow, 43, also wears Juice Beauty's Phyto-Pigments Sheer Lip Gloss in Naked, part of a cosmetics line that she helped to formulate, develop and name — a process that took more than a year to complete. See the most-read stories in Life & Style this hour >> Open link In 2015, Paltrow announced her roles as shareholder and creative director for San Rafael-based Juice Beauty, founded in 2005 by fitness and wellness executive Karen Behnke. The company now has more than $25million in annual revenue. Juice Beauty, which likewise invested in Goop, offers more than 200 skin care and makeup products formulated with at least 70% — and up to 98% — USDA-certified organic ingredients.

A blend of organic botanicals with citrus juice serves as the foundation of the line's formulations, replacing the high water content or petroleum byproducts in most conventional brands. "California has the most rigorous regulations in the world, which is why you hardly see any organic beauty brands. It is so hard to achieve," says Behnke, whose sustainable practices extend to soy ink and recyclable packaging. Paltrow's first project, Juice Beauty's Phyto-Pigments Color cosmetics line of 78 lip, eye and complexion products ($20 to $42), developed with the brand's anti-aging, fruit stem cell technology, launched in January. The cosmetics are 100% vegan, substituting plant waxes for beeswax and free of insect-based dyes. Rather, natural pigments from purple carrots, rose petals, Cape lilac, and basil flowers create vibrant color. Goop's first branded product line, a six-piece Goop by Juice Beauty organic skin care collection ($80 to $140), will debut exclusively on goop.com March 1.

Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, founder of the lifestyle website Goop.com, has joined forces with Juice Beauty as creative director, makeup and is photographed with several products in Santa Monica, CA, Feb.

03, 2016. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) What sold you on investing in Juice Beauty? Well, my mom [Blythe Danner] is a real, true environmentalist. I spent my youth at the recycling center here [in Santa Monica] sorting cans, and we were the first ones with solar power in the neighborhood. She played a big part in creating curbside recycling in Santa Monica and New York City. So I grew up, by osmosis, with a consciousness about what we are doing to the planet and to our bodies.... Karen never takes shortcuts; she does things the hard way, so the quality is amazing. I think we're constantly moving forward in the non-toxic world, but there is a part of us vain women that wants products that work. I was really excited by the idea that there could be a line of makeup that was good for your skin and good for you with active ingredients that also last and are what an actress needs on her face. Were you into beauty as a child? Not at all. My mother wasn't into beauty when I was young, and it was a different time.

If she was getting ready for an awards show, she would do herself quickly and go. She was very low-maintenance so I didn't grow up seeing a lot of the glamorous side. It was more about the craft. It wasn't like today, when a whole team arrives.... It's such a production now. We are doing Apple's homework while someone is doing my makeup. Apple loves makeup. Any memories of a first beauty product you obsessed about? My mom wore a perfume by Balenciaga called Quadrille that is discontinued now. I still have an empty bottle just so I can smell it sometimes because it's such a strong flashback. How are you involved as creative director at Juice Beauty? The touch, the feel, the slips, everything. I'm very hands-on. If I'm going to do something at this point in my life, it's going to be with 100% commitment. There is no point in slapping your name on something you don't believe in. I think I drove them slightly insane.... We fought really hard to create products that feel luxe and are really effective.

It's all well and good to be organic, but you want something that helps fight wrinkles while you sleep and brings out the glow in your skin so you can be the best that you can be. 2451783_ig_gwyneth_juice_beauty_JLC Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times A detail of Juice Beauty products. A detail of Juice Beauty products. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times) What about product naming? I was very inspired by California — words and beaches and themes. I was born here. I'm living here now. So I thought it would be sweet to pay a tiny homage to my favorite California girls. Apple got first dibs on colors. Then I chose Chelsea [Handler], not that I see her wear this [brownish] color so much, but she's daring and represents sex and fun. I love when Reese [Witherspoon] wears red lips; she looks so pretty. Drew [Barrymore ] is the freshest-looking, most beautiful California girl. She's got this peachy glow all the time. Bubblegum pink is perfect for Kate [Hudson ].

And this is Blythe, after my mom; a very elegant [mauve] shade. Did being a mom influence your thinking about product toxicity? When I had kids, I was obsessed with non-toxic, organic products for them, but I was still putting toxic products on myself and breast-feeding.... So I started to get very serious about products I was using on myself. Except a lot of the time, I couldn't find organic products that were really effective. I still can't in hair. So hair care might be next? Exactly. We also have [branded] apparel in the works at Goop, and I have a new cookbook, "It's All Easy," coming out April 12. Any local beauty gurus in your little black book? I love Striiike and the Streicher sisters. Also, the Beverly Hot Springs for scrubs. I'm really into infrared saunas for circulation but I actually have one in my house now. How do you define beauty? Beauty is when I see a woman who loves herself, and you can tell. There's a real self-acceptance and ease in her own skin. I see that in my daughter. I see that in my mother.

I see that in Jane Fonda and Oprah. I see that in women who know themselves really well. Any oops in your daily goop? Oh, if you only knew. There are so many. I make mistakes all the time. I don't know why I am so driven to do so much. For a while, I thought, "Am I running away from something? Or am I running toward something? What am I doing?" But I have sort of accepted that, for this period in my life, I am just meant to be kind of a workhorse. And I'm going somewhere. I'm not sure where. But there's a big-picture reason for it. Somewhere. Gwyneth Paltrow Pregnant Gwyneth Paltrow Pregnant ï¿½ Gwyneth Paltrow Pregnant Everyone loves the famous Oscar winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

And I just thought, “Perfect!” Through the doctor they have come to know that the expected baby is a boy and would come somewhere in the month of April 2006. Gwyneth delivered her first baby in London. However this time she wishes it to be delivered in Southern California as she wants to be close to her mom who is actress, Blythe Danner. Gwyneth is very choosy about the name of the baby. Though her first baby was named after a fruit, this time it’s not necessary that she would follow the same theme. Gwyneth loves to stay fit and also advice the same to others. She does yoga regularly and during her first pregnancy she had also followed macrobiotic diet. She is also very spiritual in nature. She was planning for an Underwater birth for her first child but since it was her first pregnancy she was bit skeptical about it. But now she is quite sure she would do it.

Even Chris has agreed this time for the same. She gives family the first priority and then her work. That is the reason she is not that often seen at the red carpet with Chris. She has become very choosy in selecting her films and would be seen in movies like Running with Scissors and Infamous.

Their whirlwind romance was followed a quick engagement and a super secretive wedding on December 2003, in Southern California, where only Gwyneth’s mum, Blythe, was present.

Not long after Gwyneth and Chris tied the knot, the loved-up couple announced they were expecting their first baby together. After the pregnancy news was made public, Gwyn was surprised with very generous baby gift (a Silver Cross Balmoral pram), when she appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Gwyn admitted she was finding it hard to answer all of the baby related questions being fired at her! “The Jewish part of me is superstitious about talking about it, so when people say, ‘Are you going to find out the sex?’, ‘Do you have weird food cravings?’ or ‘How does your mum feel?’ I don’t want to answer those questions!” Less than a year after Gwyneth and Chris wed, they welcomed their first baby together on May 14, 2004. Their baby, a girl, was born in a London hospital, weighing 9lb 11oz. Chris and Gwyn named her Apple.

Proud dad Chris Martin said after the birth, “We are 900 miles over the moon and we’d like to thank everyone at the hospital who have looked after us amazingly.” The couple’s baby name choice raised a few eyebrows, so Gwyn spoke to Oprah Winfrey - as you do - about what inspired them to name their daughter after a fruit! “It sounded so sweet and it conjured such a lovely picture for me, you know, apples are sweet and they’re wholesome. It’s biblical and I just thought it sounded so lovely and clean!” Apple’s godparents are actor Simon Pegg and Chris’ Coldplay band mate Jonny Buckland. In 2005, the couple announced they were expecting their second child. Although Gwyn had reservations about revealing too much during her first pregnancy, she was clearly more relaxed the second time around and happily talked about her pregnancy cravings. Speaking about how she ditched her mega strict macrobiotic diet, Gwyn said, “I wanted French fires, grilled cheese and yoghurt, so my strict diet kind of went out of the window.

I couldn’t look at brown rice – it made me throw up.” On April 8, 2006, Gwyn and Chris welcomed their second baby, a boy they named Moses. Moses was born at the Mount Sinai Hospital, New York. Talking about her second unusual baby name choice, Gwyn admitted their baby son was named after a song Chris wrote for her before they married. After Gwyneth’s second pregnancy, she admitted she suffered from postnatal depression and felt “like a robot”. Gwyn also revealed how she struggled with her post-baby body. “After my first pregnancy, the weight had come off a little better but after the second one, it was really stubborn. It was really hanging on,” she said. “I didn’t mind the big boobs. But I hated the stomach roll, the back fat and the post-pregnant butt." Gwyneth hired personal trainer Tracy Anderson, who helped her lose her so-called “stubborn 20 pounds.” After taking time out from filming movies, Gwyn made a comeback and her career has been riding high ever since.

As well as a string of blockbuster films, Gwyneth has embraced a new career path as a budding celebrity chef and foodie, releasing a book of recipes. She also launched a lifestyle website GOOP, all about her everyday life as a ‘normal’ mum. However, this was heavily criticised by other ‘normal’ mums. Returning to work wasn't all smooth sailing for Ms Paltrow. Gwyn revealed she suffered form working mum guilt and that her heart broke when she had to leave her “sobbing” son to go to work. In 2011, it was revealed that Gwyn and Chris were looking for a £60,000 tutor for their two children and that she wanted to raise them as Jewish. Also in 2011, the mum-of-two caused a little stir when she said she was all up for post-pregnancy boob jobs. Gwyneth has recently joined Twitter. Since she signed up, the previously private actress has been shedding more light into her personal life with tweets on her children in particular. “Just leaving super fun production of the Wizard of Oz. Apple saw the sign and called it wizard of ounce. Brilliant,” Gwyneth tweeted.

She also shared worries about her kids being addicted to video games . “How the f do I get these kids off the Wii? I swore I would never have one in the house, now they freebase Mario,” Gwyneth tweeted. Gwyneth’s husband Chris is notoriously private and is rarely seen out with Gwyneth. However, he did reveal a little bit about his feelings in an interview a few years back. “I always felt it would be great to be with a very powerful woman because it would keep you in your place,” Chris admitted. “Being married to someone very successful and very powerful basically keeps you hungry to improve. You’ve got to be hungry. If your wife went out with Brad Pitt, you’d want to improve yourself, if you know what I mean!” The Birth Of Fruity Names - tribunedigital-orlandosentinel Home → Collections → Apple The Birth Of Fruity Names Gwyneth Paltrow Wasn't The First To Name A Child Apple. And She May Not Be The Last. At Least One Central Floridian Sympathizes.

June 2, 2004|By Aline Mendelsohn, Sentinel Staff Writer In the first grade, Apple Russell informed her teacher that she preferred to go by her middle name, Lorine. Russell moved to another school, and once the kids found out about her first name, they wouldn't call her anything but Apple. Or Apple Core. Or Apple Pie. So when the Orlando woman heard that the actress Gwyneth Paltrow named her baby girl Apple, Russell could sympathize. "I just feel sorry for the kid," Russell says. "When the other kids find out, they'll give her heck." Paltrow and her husband, Chris Martin of the band Coldplay, haven't said exactly why they named their daughter after a fruit, although Martin told People, "It's just a very cool name." And Coldplay booking agent Marty Diamond and movie director Peter Farrelly both named their daughters Apple. Baby-naming experts say these celebrities could influence parents to pick fruitier names. Parents of newborn babies, pay attention: Your kids might one day share a classroom with a Lemon or a Lime. If they do, they won't be the first.

Central Florida is home to at least one man named Orange, a woman called Kiwi and a gal christened Pear. Former Florida residents include a woman named Prune and another named Peach, but attempts to contact them were fruitless. Old-fashioned or biblical names such as Emily, Abigail, Jacob and Joshua continue to top the lists of baby names. But parents are also gravitating toward unusual names, says Linda Murray, executive editor of BabyCenter.com. For example, flower names such as Jasmine and Lily have become more popular. "Maybe fruit is the new flower," Murray says. As for Apple, Murray says, "I think it's kind of cute." Diane Stafford couldn't disagree more. "Names like Apple, that just invites ridicule," says Stafford, author of 40,001 Best Baby Names. "Personally, I wouldn't take the chance. Think how the child is going to feel." Doris Omdahl, a licensed medical health counselor in Orlando, advises parents to be careful in their name selection. "Anything that is different [kids] pick on," she says. "We don't want to make the child a target." But even kids with plain names experience teasing, Murray points out.

"I think the power of having a unique name often outweighs the ridicule," Murray says. Tangerine Besaw of Melbourne was named after the jazz song and grew up feeling one of a kind. In kindergarten, some kids taunted her with names such as Banana, Orange or Lemon, but most called her Tangie. "I love odd names," Besaw says. Yet she named her sons Jesse, Thomas and James. Her daughter, though, has an edible moniker: Candy. Apple Russell was named after her great-aunt, Appolonia. Her sister was named Beth, but many kids called her "Orange." So predictable. Though she was teased as a child, as an adult Russell came to like her name. She says it's the one God intended for her. She finds comfort in the biblical allusion, from Psalms 17:8 -- "Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me under the shadow of thy wings.'' When Russell's daughter learned of Paltrow's new baby, she told her, "Mom, nobody else in the world should be named Apple. You had it first." Her daughter's name is Sarah.

Russell never considered giving her a fruity name: "I would not do that to her."
