Gwyneth Paltrow “I always have a Guinness before an awards ceremony”

We aren’t often fans of Gwyneth’s life tips. It seems a bit much to be told about your work-life balance by a multi-millionaire but this is the sort of life coaching that we can whole-heartedly endorse.

Gwyneth told The Mirror, “I always have a Guinness before an awards ceremony. Guinness is my favourite beer. And there are two other things, blush and a girdle.”

So that’s why we didn’t get invited to the Academy Awards, we didn’t drink enough Guinness beforehand and we weren’t wearing our giant Bridget Jones-style control knickers. Well if that is what it takes to get a ticket, then that is what we will do.

Guinness and Gwyneth does seem like a bit of an unlikely combination to us though, shouldn’t she be drinking macrobiotic camel juice and freshly squeezed potato milk?

Maybe she has been driven to drink after filming her second appearance on Glee. We know that if we were that close to Matthew Morrison and we weren’t allowed to pounce on him we would need a drink too, and possibly a restraining order.

Matt Damon Puts Family Before Work

MATT DAMON PUTS FAMILY BEFORE WORK
Matt Damon would never put work before his family.

The 40-year-old actor - who raises 12-year-old stepdaughter Alexia and daughters Isabella, four, Gia, two, and four-month-old Stella with spouse Luciana - believes it is possible to strike the right balance between personal and professional commitments.

He said: "I try to have my cake and eat it. On the one hand, I'm most excited and alive when I'm working on something I love. But not to the detriment of my family."

"Clint Eastwood will shoot a 10-hour day, which is the regular hours parents go to work. It's a great creative experience and then I'm home with my kids."

Matt - who has been directed by Clint in "Hereafter" and "Invictus" - also revealed he takes longer to prepare for movie roles these days because he hates having to diet beforehand.

He explained to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I exercise better than I used to. I have trouble cutting out all the food I like, so I start getting ready for movies by preparing earlier."

"I could eat a 10-course meal every night if you let me."
