Always striking elegance Gwyneth Paltrow was visiting the Tod’s store in Milan. Just like every fashionoholic she is in Italy for the hottest weeks of the year.

In a frilly orange sleeveless knee-length dress teamed with a pair of fabulous black leather chunky heels Gwyneth enjoyed the day on the streets of Italian city.

But things haven’t always been so light and easy breezy for Gwen as she talked on her post-pregnancy weight issues. She said on the Oprah Winfrey show:

After I had Apple, I would characterize it as postnatal euphoria. I was on cloud nine. I was in a bubble, and then when I had [Moses] I didn’t feel okay. Once I started exercising, I was doing cardio and I felt like I had to get rid of stuff. I started recommitting to eating well, because when I was pregnant I was eating donuts.”

Gwyneth credits Madonna’s fitness trainer, Tracy Anderson, for helping her lose her baby weight as well as Madonna herself who helped her go through during the depression phase.

Here is what she says about Madonna:

She is one of the most caring women and also a very tough woman. She’s given me a lot of great advice. She really helped me out of my postnatal depression.”

According to FOX Pop Tarts Gwyneth launched her very own lifestyle Web site called Goop.com. It sounds like she has taken on the role of motivational speaker, as the site includes personally-written essays to encourage her readers to “nourish the inner aspect” and live life to the fullest.

Paltrow’s rep told Pop Tarts, “The site is still very much under development and will be expanded in the coming months.”

Amy Winehouse was back on stage in London Friday when she performed two of her hits ‘Rehab’ and ‘Valerie’ at a special concert as part of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday tribute.

Everyone welcomed her with loud cheers and was impressed by her strong vocals and her really healthy looks, according to the reports.

Amy was wearing her famous huge beehive with a bright heart-shaped pin inscribed with “Blake”, her husband’s name. Generally Amy looked much better than expected, especially taking into account her recent hospitalization and health issues.

Besides singing two of her songs, Winehouse took lead vocals in a version of ‘Free Nelson Mandela,’ alongside Jerry Dammers, the writer of the anthem, and most of the concert’s performers and then joined everyone to sing ‘Happy birthday’ to Nelson Mandela.

Here’s Amy singing her famous ‘Rehab’. Honestly, I expected something grander from her. but the dancers rock.

Organizers of Friday’s gig feared Winehouse would miss the concert after she failed to attend a scheduled photocall on Thursday, the source reported.

Generally the concert was aimed at raising money for Mandela’s 46664 AIDS charity – named after his prison number. The concert followed the fundraising dinner on Wednesday night, which was attended by Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Will Smith, Uma Thurman and others.

According to the reports, the event has raised about $10m. The concert was led by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and was attended by Geri Halliwell, Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, trio Sugababes, Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger, Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, and others.

Once again, happy birthday Nelson! You’re a great man!

Nelson Mandela along with the world’s most loved celebs have broken silence on Mugabe’s regime at Mandela’s party.

The fundraising dinned welcomed his close friends: world famous socialites as well as human rights activists. Among the guests there were big names like Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Scherzinger, Uma Thurman and many others.

But on a short address, Zimbabwe merited only a brief mention in a list of the world’s ills.

For the speech Nelson Mandela said:

The world remains beset by so much human suffering, poverty and deprivation. It is in your hands to make our world a better one for all, especially the poor, vulnerable and marginalized.

We look back at much human progress, but we sadly note so much failing as well.

In our time we spoke out on the situation in Palestine and Israel, and that conflict continues unabated. We warned against the invasion of Iraq, and observe the terrible suffering in that country.

We watch with sadness the continuing tragedy in Darfur. Nearer to home we had seen the outbreak of violence against fellow Africans in our own country and the tragic failure of leadership in our neighboring Zimbabwe.

It is within this context that we should also see the plight of those affected by HIV and Aids. It is now in the hands of your generations to help rid the world of such suffering.”

Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith were just two boldfaced names to fete the prebirthday dinner party held in Hyde Park. Also on the list: Forest Whitaker, Kim Cattrall, Leona Lewis and Denzel Washington.

Amy Winehouse was supposed to attend as well; unfortunately she’s been hospitalized and is still advised to stay in bed. For the concert though, she will perform at her first post-hospitalized performance.

Another troubled girl Naomi Campbell attended the event. She looked oh-so-preety, and most important, she smiled.

For decades, it has been an unattainable goal for many British pop stars to get number one in The Billboard Hit 100 chart. And here we go! Yesterday X Factor winner Leona Lewis became the first British female in over two decades to top the American charts, with her debut single Bleeding Love, according to Daily Mail.

Lewis, 22, confessed it was her dream to crack the US market, which is extremely lucrative but notoriously hard to crack. “I really don’t know what to say. I’m so overwhelmed right now. I’m getting to share my music with people around the world and it’s beyond my wildest dreams. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much. It’s because of you that I am able to do this,” the singer said on Oprah Winfrey show.

Her mentor Simon Cowell added: “I am incredibly proud of Leona, what she has achieved in the past year is simply amazing.” Cowell helped Leona win ITV1’s X Factor in 2006 after winning over the public with her extraordinary singing voice and sweet personality.

“All I want to do is my music and just hearing my single on the radio the other day brought a tear to my eye; I was so happy.” Leona confessed.

Just two British female solo artists before Leona have gone to number one with their debut single in America. Petula Clark was the first in 1965 with Downtown, and Sheena Easton’s Morning Train followed in 1981. I must confess I don’t remember these ladies. Time will show if Leona Lewis manages to hit big time in the States, you know, competition is really huge here. Good luck to you Leona! I just wonder what Heidi Montag thinks about all that.
