Gwyneth Paltrow covers up in a black trench as she steps out in London on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old actress recently shared about how her fashion has evolved lately: “I used to spend a lot of time looking at fashion, reading about fashion, generally being bemused by fashion. Then one day I had children and it all kind of went out the window. For a few years I was basically in sweat pants and I didn’t mind it. It’s a fine line, however, between being comfortable and being demoralized by being frumpy all the time. Just because I no longer had an hour to stand in front of my closet and try to figure out what to wear, did not mean I had to don the same high school t-shirt from the day before. As I started to get back into the world of work, I needed to wear something easy and chic that did not require a lot of planning or accessorizing.”

CNN’s dreamy host Anderson Cooper (in Ralph Lauren Black Label) is the latest cover boy for Best Life magazine, out Oct. 21. Here are some great quotes from the 41-year-old via USA Today:

Best way to prepare for a trip: “I pack virtually nothing.”

Best place to carry a passport: “My passport is a mess. I carry it in my front pocket, so it’s all bent. But I know where it is at all times. I find those pouches ridiculous.”

Best DVD for a long flight: “The Professional is one of my favorite movies. Gary Oldman is so great in it. I watch and rewatch it.”

Best cure for jet lag: “Whenever you have free time, sleep. I’ve found you can usually work round the clock for four or five days, and then you collapse in a pool of your own filth. But for five days, you can do anything.”

Best food for the road: “I travel with a lot of PowerBars and foil packs of crackers and tuna. They get better the farther you are from other food sources.”

Best rule to eat safely: “I hate being sick overseas, so I’m very careful. I stick with chicken, rice, and beans. I don’t get very adventurous.”

Best writers for a journey: “David Sedaris. Augusten Burroughs. Cormac McCarthy. I really liked The Road. I tend to read something that’s a complete diversion from what I’m doing.”

Best way to relax: “No TV, no radio, no iPod…just sit in a place without any external stimulant, have a cold drink, and be calm. Be present where you are.”

Best drink for that: “Nothing beats an ice-cold Coke in a glass bottle.”

Madonna cryptically announced at her Oct. 6 concert in NYC, “In exactly 29 moves, the Queen will trump the King!”

Coincidentally — or not — she had 29 more dates on her U.S. tour, according to Star. But now it seems Madonna couldn’t wait that long!

“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 1/2 years of marriage,” her rep confirmed.

Madonna and Guy have one son together, Rocco, 8, as well as an adopted son David, 2. Madonna also has a daughter, Lourdes, 12, with ex, Carlos Leon.

Desperate Housewives star Gale Harold was seriously injured yesterday in a motorcycle accident, reports TMZ. (On the hit ABC show, Gale plays Jackson on Wisteria Lane–the boyfriend of Susan, played by Teri Hatcher.)

The 39-year-old former Queer as Folk star was taken to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit at L.A. County - USC Medical Center. Hospital sources confirmed he’s in “stable condition.”

Sending thoughts and prayers to Gale for a speedy recovery!

UPDATE: The actor’s rep says, “We can confirm that Gale Harold was in a motorcycle accident yesterday, Oct 14. He has fractured his shoulder and is under observation to assess any possible further injuries. Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery. No one else was injured in the accident.”

Minutes after Madonna announced her divorce from husband Guy Ritchie, Us Weekly reported that she and New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez “are definitely romantic.”

“Guy is not involved in this equation,” an insider reveals. “With or without A-Rod, Madonna and Guy haven’t been ‘together’ for over a year - they have been privately separated. Madonna, however, wanted to finish her world tour before divorcing.”

An A-Rod source reveals, “A-Rod and Madonna are more involved than ever. Alex has really missed spending time with Madonna. However, he understands the position Madonna’s in.”

Madonna and Guy Ritchie are divorcing after almost eight years of marriage.

“Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7 1/2 years of marriage,” her rep Liz Rosenberg said in a statement to The Associated Press. “They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet.”

According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the couple decided to go public with the split now because they “can’t bear to live with the pretense any longer… A series of rows around Guy’s 40th birthday last month were so bad that Madge ended up storming out of the house and Guy’s had enough.”

Pictured: The last pictures of Madonna returning to her NYC apartment last night prior to the official announcement of her divorce.

UPDATE: It’s being reported that the couple don’t have a pre-nup and Guy could walk away with $250 million, one of the biggest divorce payouts in history.
