Gwyneth Paltrow 'begged Madonna to save her marriage'

As in: Madonna's marriage. Not Gwyneth Paltrow's own marriage to Chris Martin.

Gwyneth Paltrow was snapped out at an art fair in London's Regent's Park yesterday. And while she looked very cool in her black Tods coat, cropped trousers and, yes, Barack Obama badge, she also looked a bit down in the mouth.

Which isn't too surprising, given that yesterday her pals Madonna and Guy Ritchie officially announced that their seven-and-a-half-year marriage was over.

And which is doubly unsurprising given the story in today's Daily Mail.

According to the paper, Gwyneth "spent the past few months desperately trying to convince her best friend Madonna not to separate from Guy" because he believes that they "should remain together for the sake of their three children".

"Gwyneth is said to have advised her friend to think long and hard about the effects a divorce from the film director will have on Rocco, eight, adopted David Banda, two, and Lourdes, Madonna's 12-year-old daughter," reports the Mail - with a source adding: "Gwyneth begged Madonna all summer not to be an idiot and let this marriage fall apart."

But, sadly, fall apart it did. Better keep working on that British stiff upper lip, Gwynnie.
