"Bottom line, she is not a mere mortal like the rest of us," the actor, 29, said in his introduction. "She is an Internet-savvy, award-winning, lifestyle guru, making all of us look lazy. She doesn’t just find a nice guy to settle down with -- she marries a rock star and then domesticates him. She doesn’t just cook -- she goes to Spain with Mario Batali and then domesticates him!
She is not just a lifestyle guru, but she invents a whole new fitness movement and then convinces me to try it, and I do it, and I am, therefore, domesticated ... sweating my ass off in spandex, which is humbling and embarrassing."
When Paltrow, 38, took the stage, she said she didn't have a speech because, "I kind of wanted to speak from my heart." And she was more candid than ever.
"Jake is gorgeous and hilarious and when we worked together in Proof, I was pregnant and I was a f****** nightmare hormonal mess, but we managed to stay friends through it anyways", she said.

Gwyneth Paltrow as Viola De Lesseps in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998)

"When the hunkster introduced Paltrow last night at Elle's Women in Hollywood fete, he talked about how beautiful the Oscar winner looked in Shakespeare In Love but also pointed out she was "very convincing as a fine-featured young boy."
So much so, he cracked, "It was the experience of watching Gwyneth dressed as a young boy that immediately lead me to sign onto Brokeback Mountain." (If there is any truth to Jakey's story, we must take this moment to bow down and say, "Thank you, Gwyneth Paltrow.") Source: uk.eonline.com

Marilyn Monroe

"Naomi Watts is daunted by her upcoming role as Marilyn Monroe - admitting she doesn't know how to play the iconic sex symbol.
The actress portrays the Some Like It Hot siren in new biopic Blonde, but confesses she can't figure out how to tackle the role - because no one really knew the real Monroe.
She says, "I don't have a plan yet on how to do it. It's going to be a huge undertaking because everyone obviously has their own idea about who she was.
"It's a high-pressure thing to take on because of how iconic she was. I don't know how I'll go about it." Source: www.imdb.com

"McAdams tells November's InStyle magazine, dating an actor makes perfect sense. "I usually take away one close relationship from every job, some romantic, some not," she tells the magazine, which hits newsstands Friday.Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as Noah and Allie in "The Notebook" (2004)

Still, she says, she doesn't have a type when it comes to men."I don't think so, although I guess everyone says that, right? I like to be surprised by people, and I find that makes life a lot easier too, when you just accept what's coming your way."

Asked about her dating style, McAdams says she's not afraid to put herself out there. "I'm not shy," she says. "But I feel like I give off more confidence than I really have. I get in trouble for being overly friendly at times."As for having children one day, McAdams says she's waiting for the right time. "Part of me is very attached to the idea of having children," she says, but adds that "it'll depend on if I find the person I want to do that with." Source: www.people.com

Best Ways to Have Sex, According to Science (Love & other drugs)

Bring the Kitchen into the Bedroom
"Arginine is the basis for Viagra, so men should stick with foods high in it — such as oysters, fish, and other lean proteins. Everything that's good for you above the waist is good for you below the waist as well: greens and beans; high protein/low-fat foods; and brightly colored fruits and vegetables, high in antioxidants. The Standard American Diet is ... a detriment to performance." —Lynn Edlen-Nezin, Ph.D, co-author of Great Food, Great Sex

Take Your Time Undressing
"There is a degree of manipulation when it comes to the amount of neurotransmitter released... Looking at a nude picture will trigger a quick and strong release of dopamine and possibly oxytocin, but it fades quickly... Let her work for it a little; she'll enjoy the prolonged neurological orgasm more." —Andrea Kuszewski, Behavior Therapist and Consultant, Boston, Massachusetts

Create a Mood — Turn the Lights Down
"For women to get aroused, parts of their brains associated with stress and anxiety need to de-activate, according to neurological studies in the Netherlands. If women aren't relaxed, they're not going to enjoy sex. So dim the lights and share a fantasy. A Harvard study found that when you hug a woman longer than thirty seconds, it increases her oxytocin levels and anticipation of sex." —Ian Kerner, Ph.D, FAACS, author of She Comes First: the Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman
