Paltrow's mum fires back at split reports

Gwyneth Paltrow's mother Blythe Danner has dismissed reports the actress's marriage to singer Chris Martin is in trouble, insisting the gossip stems from their refusal to pose for pictures together.

The couple has been plagued by rumours of an impending split, speculation that increased after Paltrow was recently spotted partying in the US with pal Madonna, while Martin tours the UK with Coldplay.
