Gwyneth Paltrow Emerges From Career Hiatus, Fails To See Shadow, Returns To Her Mothering Hole [PaltrowWatch]

Having perhaps developed a new sense of perspective on What Really Matters since surviving a kale-induced gastrointestinal attack, Gwyneth Paltrow has again emerged from self-imposed career hiatus to deliver an important announcement on the current state of her always-tentative relationship to stardom. Sadly, however, the words "red-carpeted hole in my soul that no amount of baby-burping can fill" appear nowhere in the declaration, as the actress tells U.K. magazine Now that she currently has no immediate plans to return to Hollywood's ass-kissy embrace:

"I don't have the same ambition that I used to have, and don't work at a furious pace. I have a great life and I see everything differently now," she said.

"I know that shooting film after film doesn't make you happy, and I've never been happier with Chris and the children."

"I will do more films now that Apple and Moses are a little bit older," she adds to Britain's Now Magazine.



Which isn't to say Paltrow isn't completely unavailable for work--just so long as the part can accommodate her busy parenting schedule. Producers of Iron Man, for example, were so insistent on casting Paltrow as Tony Stark's executive secretary Virginia "Pepper" Potts, they reconfigured the character to allow for the accompaniment of her two young children in every shot, even going so far as to rework her dialogue in the pivotal identity-reveal scene to now read, "A rocket suit? How exciting, Tony! But I should really go, or Orange and Aron are going to be late for their African dance class! Good luck, though! Byeee!"
