A Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner has authorized the lawyers who represent Britney Spears and her family in various legal cases to be paid more than $372,500 for their services through March 31.
Commissioner Reva Goetz on Thursday also delayed action on a motion to put Spears’ companies and business entities in her trust. It will now be heard on July 31, the same day a probate court is scheduled to decide on a permanent conservatorship for the troubled pop singer.
Gwyneth Paltrow may be a celebrity, but she has long kept her private life discreet.
Now she has chosen to share some of herself in a new, revealing interview with Vogue, addressing the postnatal depression she suffered following the birth of her second child.
“I felt really out of my body. I felt really disconnected. I felt really down. I felt pessimistic,” she said.
That’s how the postnatal depression affected the Oscar winner after the birth of her son, Moses. But, Paltrow told the magazine, “I didn’t know I had it until after it was over.”
The 35-year-old star of the upcoming summer blockbuster in the making, “Iron Man,” said one reason she may have suffered from postnatal depression was because she immersed herself in motherhood following the birth of her first child, Apple. No nanny, no relaxing massages, no time for herself.
“When I had Apple, I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her,” Gwyneth said. “When I work, I leave the house before the kids are awake. And I come home and they’re asleep. So that’s why, ever since having them, I’ve never played a lead in a movie.”
Gwyneth said she was coaxed out of leading lady retirement, thanks to a call from “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau.
“When Jon called me about ‘Iron Man,’ I thought, ‘This is the kind of cast I dream of working with and I could go back to work and not work five days a week,” she said. “It was the perfect, perfect, perfect job for me.”
And despite returning to a big role in a film, Gwyneth has found a way to balance her career and being the mom of two.
“I keep everything very simple. I think the thing that drives most working mothers crazy is this idea that they can’t do everything. ‘I don’t know what to wear. I don’t know what to cook. I can’t work and do this and that and the other.’ But I find that as long as you’re not depressed, if you simplify everything, you can do anything,” she said.

With a signature blend of action, humor and character-based spectacle, the saga of the world’s toughest, kitten-loving hero from Hell continues to unfold in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Bigger muscle, badder weapons and more ungodly villains arrive in an epic vision of imagination from Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy).
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it’s up to the planet’s toughest, roughest superhero to battle the merciless dictator and his marauders. He may be red. He may be horned. He may be misunderstood. But when you need the job done right, it’s time to call in Hellboy (Ron Perlman).
Along with his expanding team in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development—pyrokinetic girlfriend Liz (Selma Blair), aquatic empath Abe (Doug Jones) and protoplasmic mystic Johann—the BPRD will travel between the surface strata and the unseen magical one, where creatures of fantasy become corporeal. And Hellboy, a creature of two worlds who’s accepted by neither, must choose between the life he knows and an unknown destiny that beckons him.
