(Newser) – Gwyneth Paltrow wants to shed her squeaky-clean reputation. “I’m probably less square than people think,” the actress tells Elle. “I wish smoking didn’t kill you. And you know what I had the other day which I loved? A French Martini.” Paltrow also defends recent leg-baring red-carpet looks. “Sometimes you wear a dress because your friend made it,” she says, referring to Stella McCartney.

“I just got out of sweatpants, out of mummy mode,” adds Paltrow, who also cops to swearing in the interview. “I love fashion, but when you’re breastfeeding and you’re … overweight, it’s demoralizing to try to wear good clothes.”

I don't even understand what she is trying to say. So martinis, cigarettes and sweatpants make you a bad girl. This is just the lame arse square mentality of hollywood...

Oh please, spare us. When you need to convince people you're not "goody-goody", that means you are. And I would probably worry more about the fact that most people think you're a snobby bitch.
