Gwyneth Paltrow had to be convinced into signing to star into forthcoming movie Iron Man by Robert Downey Jr., after he declared it was time she shunned low-budget, independent movies for a huge blockbuster.

This week's new releases include the mathematical drama Proof with Gwyneth Paltrow and Jake Gyllenhaal, the action-adventure Zathura from the writer of The Polar Express and Jumanji, the sickly twisted horror film Saw II, and the mystical sci-fi fantasy Mirrormask.

Hollywood beauty Gwyneth Paltrow has responded coyly to probing about the stage of her pregnancy at a screening of new movie Proof. Speculation surrounding her expanding waistline has been rife in recent months, until confirmation Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin are expecting a second child came last week.

Gwyneth Paltrow is pregnant with her second baby. The news follows months of rumors the actress - who has a baby daughter Apple with husband Coldplay star Chris Martin - was expecting again. The pregnancy has been confirmed by a reliable source, according to Britain's Evening Standard newspaper.

Gwyneth Paltrow has cryptically confirmed she is pregnant. The smiling star told a press conference that there were "two Paltrows in the room" while patting her bulging stomach. The actress - dressed in a figure-hugging Gucci dress - made the confession after journalists asked why her husband Coldplay star Chris Martin hadn't joined her at the London premiere of Proof.
