And finally, to Elle magazine's in-depth profile of Gwyneth Paltrow. In among the usual guff about her ongoing role as the light of the world – "people come up to me and say, 'I want to have two kids and wear a bathing suit and not feel terrible about myself. I see how hard you work and it makes me feel I can do that too" – there are suggestions she feels it's time to roughen up her image: "It's good to shock people who think of me as prim Gwyneth Paltrow." To which end, she talks about her vice: smoking. "If I'm out with my girlfriends after a dinner party, I think let's live a little," she says, with hedonistic abandon, before revealing that she smokes "one cigarette every two months". LiS can only thank God that the Amy Winehouse Foundation is finally launching next week: perhaps, with the benefit of their experience of celebrity addiction, they can convince Gwynie that this reckless search for kicks at all costs can only end in tragedy.
