In a decidedly "screening" focused May issue, Harper's Bazaar has Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover, with an interview inside focusing on Iron Man 2, Hollywood in general, and a recent shoot in Tennessee involving an odd menu. Also in this month's issue, keying in on the recently trending topic of airbrushing and body image, Kim Kardashian, and others, pose nude, and forego the retouching.
In a candid interview, Paltrow opens up about juggling work, mommy-dom and marriage while preparing for the release of Iron Man 2, the trials of fame, and her controversial website, GOOP. Plus, find out why she’s been on a steady diet of fried chicken and booze.
On her lifestyle while filming Love Don’t Let Me Down: “I was so bad with the food and alcohol in Nashville,” she explains of the two-month shoot she just wrapped in Tennessee. “If you saw me naked compared to what I looked like when I did Iron Man 2, where I was eating so well and exercising everyday…I’ll get it back together, but I just have never eaten so much fried food and white flour in my life, ever.”
On her husband, Coldplay’s Chris Martin: “He is so great because he’s so supportive of me as an artist. He loves the fact that I’m working and was so fulfilled by this job that I did in Nashville. He’s my biggest supporter. He’s always like, ‘We’ll make it work.’ I really lucked out with him. He’s deeply lovely and special.”
On Hollywood: "You never know if you're going to be in or out of favor. You never know if you're going to get a good part. I've been through everything from being at the top of the A-list and then, 'No, they really don't see you for this part.'"
On shooting Iron Man: “Iron Man was heaven. The kids could come every day. They had their mini Jeep they drove around the parking lot in front of my trailer. I wasn’t naked or crying like on the Nashville movie, where it was like, ‘No, you can’t visit Mommy today.’ This was a much different thing. But professionally, I did feel so ‘Oh, my God, yes, this is what I do. You know, this is me.’”
Iron Man co-star Robert Downey Jr. on her personality: “She knows how to go large and she knows how to be that thing and that person and then the rest of the time she’s wearing a pair of yoga pants and steaming some cod or something.”

Kim Kardashian and Joy Bryant bare all for photographer Amanda de Cadenet in the issue, showing that natural bodies are beautiful.
In a stunning spread that empowers women to celebrate their bodies, the stars forgo retouching, embrace their curves, accept their insecurities and reveal their most intimate thoughts.
Kim Kardashian:
On her infamous curves: “I don’t get why everyone is always going on about my butt. I’m Armenian. It’s normal. My butt is probably not as big as you might think, because I have small legs and a small waist, which makes it appear bigger.”
On her insecurities while growing up: “I was wearing a C cup by the time I was 11. I would go to bed and pray, ‘Please, Lord, don’t let my boobs grow any bigger.’ I hated what was happening.”
On the concept behind the spread: “I think the message is embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, ‘I’m curvy, and I’m proud of it now.’”
Joy Bryant:
On inspiring women to accept their bodies: “Women are the harshest critics of other women. There needs to be a greater acceptance individually and collectively or nothing’s ever going to change. You’ll never be thin enough, blonde enough, black enough. So enough is enough.”
