Gwyneth Paltrow’s clumsiness leaves her with permanent nerve damage

Gwyneth PaltrowGwyneth Paltrow has been left with permanent numbness in one of her legs after damaging her knee on the set of Iron Man. The actress bravely tried to act on through the pain, unaware that the injury needed surgery.

She says, “I broke my knee - because I’m a moron and I’m always bashing into things by accident. I’ve broken my toes 30 times. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I bashed my knee, it really hurt.”

The accident even caused her to come to blows with the film’s director, Jon Favreau, who thought she was exaggerating how much pain she was in. Paltrow explains, “I kept exercising and running around in the movie. Then it really started to expand.”

“In one scene I’m running away from Ironmonger - the bad Iron Man - and I said to Jon, ‘My knee is really hurting, I don’t know how many times I can do this.’ He was rolling his eyes, saying ‘you’re fine’.”

“But I went to the doctor and I had a fracture so bad they had to do surgery the next day. They put cement in there! So I felt very smug and he apologized. It still doesn’t feel right. I had a nerve problem. My legs don’t feel the same. Sometimes it happens with surgery. If I get a wax, one leg hurts more than the other.”

Pearl Lowe approves of her daughter Daisy Lowe seeing Mark Ronson

Daisy LoweMusic producer Mark Ronson is dating model Daisy Lowe and her mother Pearl is as happy about it as he is!

Speaking last night at the launch of the Crisis Consequences charity record at Rough Trade East in Brick Lane, Pearl said: “When she told me she was with Mark I said, ‘Wow, he’s cute’. She just said ‘Mummy’ in a scolding tone.”

Pearl was asked whether she had concerns about her daughter going out with a man 13 years her senior, but said “I’ve got no problem with the age gap… he’s a gentleman and he’s really looking after her.

“I could imagine them being together in the long term. The only thing that could come between them is that they both work really hard.”

Ronson is currently busy working with Amy Winehouse on the theme song for the next James Bond film, Quantum Of Solace.

There is no guarantee that their song will be used in the film, but Ronson said: “Hopefully it will get used. We’re working on it and we’ll see happens.

“I’m sure there are loads more really famous people that probably we’re competing with, and we don’t know about. I’m not sure.”

There’s no doubting that Robbie has gained some weight over the last few months but it doesn’t seem to be harming his love life: the pair have been snapped kissing after a game of golf and have been seen out having dinner together in LA.

He met the 26 year old talent agency account executive through mutual friends at the Beverly Hills Country Club and they have been dating for about a couple of months.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Robbie really likes her. They are taking it slow at the moment to see how things go but they have been out for a few low-key dinners at STK and Maestros in recent weeks.”

“Robbie likes to be a private person, so sometimes prefers having dinner with her at home. He is smitten with this one and people are saying that she could be the one.”

FT Blog: new writer!

Just a quick note to introduce our new Fametastic writer, the wonderful Kate.

Kate has been a loyal fangirl of the site since we first bombarded her with the links back when we first started it back in the day and now she’s come on board as a writer to let me concentrate on the editing/development side of things (we’ve got some exciting developments set to happen in the very near future). She also takes us one day closer to that beautiful day when maybe, just maybe, we’ll get an office dog.

She’ll be writing on random days in May then hopefully we’ll settle down into a regular pattern in June.
