Gwyneth Paltrow's favourite X-rated act with former flame
Penned by bestselling British author Amy Odell, Gwyneth: The Biography — set to drop in Australia on August 5 — promises to take fans behind the scenes of the A-Lister's last thirty years in the spotlight.
According to Odell, who clawed her way into 215 of the actor's relationships in pursuit of dirt, the actor revealed to her make-up artist Kevyn Aucion that she enjoyed partaking in one particular sex act with former flame Ben Affleck.
'It was the ribald side of her that her friends knew well but that the public didn't see,' Odell writes, according to Page Six.

Paltrow and Affleck, both 52, dated from 1997 — 2000, believed to have ended things due to infidelity.
According to the author, the pair's relationship began when Affleck was afflicted by 'alcoholism and a gambling problem.'
'Their physical chemistry couldn't overcome his self-destructive impulses, which may have even included cheating on her,' Odell writes.
But the Good Will Hunting star's alleged vices were not the only signs of foreboding, with sources telling the author he didn't show her enough affection.
Odell adds, 'He at times seemed more interested in playing video games with the guys at his house than being with Gwyneth.'

While the Thanks for Sharing star had long maintained a public image of purity and innocence early in her acting career, the entrepreneurial version of Paltrow has often leaned into sexual exploration.
Her Goop wellness brand once sold a 'This Smells Like My Vagina' candle for $75, which sold out in record time upon release in 2020.
In 2016, she told outlet Self that she was conscious of not losing her sexuality in a busy world.
'We have this idea that you can't be a mother and a businesswoman and like to have sex!' she said.

Paltrow found it amusing people might be shocked to learn she can maintain that side of herself despite being a mature, functioning member of society.
'Like, 'Gwyneth has sex? Really?' It doesn't seem to go together. But I think it's important, as mothers and as women contributing to society in whatever way we each are, that our true sexuality doesn't get lost or put aside,' she added.
In 2021, the star created Netflix series Sex, Love & Goop which followed sexually frustrated couples seeking to reinvigorate their relationships.

Wendy Williams hopes to 'get back to work in the most magnificent way'
Wendy Williams wants to get back to work "in the most magnificent way". The 61-year-old former chat show host has been embroiled in a battle to end her court-ordered guardianship - which she has been under since 2022 - as she seeks to leave the the Coterie in Hudson Yards living facility, which she has referred to as a "luxury prison". She recently celebrated her 61st birthday, and told Page Six that she has an "obvious" wish in mind. She said: "It's obvious: to get out of my guardianship, and go back to work in the most magnificent way.' Wendy marked her 61st with a dinner on July 17 at the historic Delmonico's in Lower Manhattan, a day before her birthday. The former Wendy Williams Show presenter, who has faced a series of public health struggles in recent years, arrived without her motorised scooter — a notable change from previous outings. She told the outlet: 'For my last birthday, I was in Connecticut with nothing but grass and trees. 'Nobody came to visit me in Connecticut. That was actually a good thing, because it was so bad I didn't want people to see me there.' Two of Wendy's attorneys joined her for her birthday meal, along with her former producers from The Wendy Williams Show, Suzanne Bass and Brendan Higgins. A source told Page Six: 'She got emotional when she blew out her candles. 'Everyone seemed happy to see her and she looked amazing.' Wendy was said to have appeared in high spirits throughout the night, dining on a lavish spread that included seafood towers, caviar, Caesar salad and filet mignon. She was also presented with a birthday baked Alaska, and designer Zang Toi, who was also dining at Delmonico's, took a moment to wish Wendy a happy birthday before leaving the restaurant. Though Wendy has faced considerable personal and medical difficulties in recent years, the birthday outing seemed to reflect a sense of renewed energy and determination, according to insiders, One added: 'She was beaming and sans scooter. 'She's confident her lawyers are going to get her out of (her guardianship.)'

'This is a full-scale takeover': Why the $10 million wedding of Apple heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympian Harry Charles has sparked a full village lockdown in rural Oxfordshire
A picturesque English village has gone into virtual lockdown as preparations ramp up for one of the year's most extravagant weddings between billionaire heiress Eve Jobs and British Olympic showjumper Harry Charles. The bride, 27, is none other than the youngest daughter of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and American philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs. She and Charles, 26, are celebrating their nuptials with a jaw-dropping four-day affair in the heart of the Cotswolds, reportedly costing more than £5 million (A$10.3 million). Locals say the entire area around the exclusive Estelle Manor country hotel, formerly Eynsham Hall, has been effectively shut down as security teams, helicopters, and convoys of blacked-out SUVs descend on the usually quiet Oxfordshire village. "This is a full-scale takeover of the high-end venues in the Cotswolds for a huge event… there are going to be a lot of VIPs here this weekend," one resident told MailOnline. Another source described the occasion to The Sun as being "planned like a military operation," adding, "It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down. "The sleepy village feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI." The star-studded guest list includes politicians, royals, celebrities and elite athletes from both the UK and the US. Former US Vice President Kamala Harris, who shares a close friendship with Powell Jobs, is expected to attend, along with her daughter Phoebe. Bill Gates' daughter Jennifer Gates is also reportedly on the list. Sir Elton John is set to headline the entertainment, with a performance fee believed to be in the ballpark of $2 million for a one-hour set. Guests are reportedly arriving by private jet to Oxford Airport, before being whisked to the venue by helicopter. Also tipped to attend are Princess Beatrice, Apple design guru Jony Ive, equestrian Jessica Springsteen, daughter of Bruce Springsteen, Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, and Sofia Abramovich, the daughter of former Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich. Behind the scenes, the Jobs family has enlisted top-tier event planner Stanlee Gatti, known for his work on Christy Turlington's 2003 wedding and Ivy Getty's extravagant 2021 nuptials—to ensure every detail is perfect. Powell Jobs, also shares son Reed, 33, and daughter Erin, 29, with the late Steve Jobs, who died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer at age 56. It's not known whether Eve's half-sister Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend. Eve and Harry began dating in 2022 and made their relationship public at the Paris Olympics last year, where Eve was spotted cheering him on at Versailles. Harry, the son of 2012 team jumping gold medallist Peter Charles, followed in his father's footsteps and made his Team GB debut at the Tokyo Games in 2020 before securing gold in Paris. The couple reportedly bonded over their shared love of horses. Eve, a champion equestrian in her own right, has competed internationally and took home a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan American Games in Peru. That same year, she was ranked fifth among the world's top under-25 riders. After graduating from Stanford with a degree in science, technology and society, Eve turned her attention to modelling. She made her runway debut for Coperni at Paris Fashion Week in 2021 and has since graced the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and fronted campaigns for Louis Vuitton. She was also named one of Tatler's "new generation of It Girls" in 2022.

Fans were left bewildered at Gwyneth Paltrow's fuller-looking upper lip. The Goop founder's facial features looked noticeably different in a cooking video she posted to her Instagram on the weekend. In the clip, Paltrow was seen with poutier lips while preparing her version of Korean steak and eggs. 'Made with love, a little heat, and packed with flavour,' she wrote in the caption of the post. X SUBSCRIBER ONLY Gwyneth Paltrow's latest cooking video had viewers gossiping about her appearance in the comment section. While some Instagram users complimented the actress' skills in the kitchen, others flooded the comments section with questions about her seemingly altered appearance. 'What have you done on your lips?' one curious person asked, with another inquiring, 'Is there something with her lips?' 'Something happened to her top lip,' a social media user commented. 'I really wish she'd be honest about the work she's had recently because she sells anti-ageing products,' one person wrote. 'She looks amazing but like be honest. Especially when that's what your brand is all about.' 'Mmmmm looks so yum. But don't tell me you've done your lips too,' added another. One troll even joked that she has 'Marge Simpson lips.' With a noticeably poutier lip in the video … … Gwyneth as fans are used to seeing her. Others jumped to Paltrow's defence and shut down the trolls commenting on her physical attributes. 'What's with all the negative comments? Scroll along if you can't handle what you see. And if you don't have anything kind to say, don't say anything. Just move on,' one person commented. 'There's a lot of jealousy. Comments about lips, looks etc are not meaningful in my honest opinion,' another said. Paltrow's rep did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. The star, 52, has been candid about getting cosmetic procedures in the past. In 2021, Paltrow shared that she uses Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injectable, to accomplish her youthful glow. The lifestyle queen has been open about getting cosmetic procedures in the past. 'By getting injectables, it's like admitting a vulnerability. I think sometimes honesty is perceived to be a weakness,' she told Harper's Bazaar at the time, adding, 'There does seem to be a lot of stigma around injections.' The lifestyle guru, who said that the injectables aided in making her 'look less pissed off,' admitted to trying Botox in the past, though she hated the results. 'It was a disaster. I didn't do anything else for a long, long time. I was bruised, my forehead was completely frozen, and I didn't look like myself at all,' she said. She also copped to getting a Thermage laser treatment, sharing in 2013, 'I would do it again, because I feel like it took five years off my face.'
