When it was revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow saved a woman's life on September 11, 2001 by almost hitting her with her Mercedes SUV on 7th Avenue, thus making her miss her train to work at the World Trade Center, the nation came together by promising to add Sliding Doors to their Netflix cue. At the Venice Film Festival, Gwyneth spoke for the first time about her newly discovered hero status: "I was on the way home…and a girl was jaywalking across the street and we kind of both stopped at the same time."

The headliner, Coldplay, even performed songs by Michael Jackson (video) and the Beastie Boys (video). And between sets, the mud provided plenty of entertainment. more ›

Last night's Saturday Night Live had its work cut out for it after the last few weeks. Weaving in actual Mad Men stars Elisabeth Moss and John Slattery alongside host Jon Hamm was a nice touch, but this is a week after the show featured cameos from Sarah Palin, Mark Wahlberg and Alec Baldwin. And it was a welcome return for Maya Rudolph, stopping in as expected to play Michelle Obama and sing a duet with Kenan Thompson dedicated to Amy Poehler's new baby. But that came on the heels of former cast members Bill Murray, Will Ferrell and of course Tina Fey all making high profile returns in recent weeks. more ›

Chris Martin will be (attempting to) steal the spotlight back from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow soon.
