Gwyn making efforts to save troubled marriage

New York (ANI): Actress Gwyneth Paltrow is reportedly making efforts to save her troubled marriage. Amid recent reports of their marriage being on the rocks, Paltrow and her husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, are holed up in their London home "trying to make their marriage better," a close pal told the New York Daily News.

The 'Proof' actress is so committed, "she's staying overseas until the holidays are over," even forgoing events she typically loves. "Gwyneth says she's totally fine. She's used the phrase 'perfectly happy' a bunch of times, and refuses to read any of the tabloid tales to the contrary," her pal said.

However, despite Paltrow's claim that their romance is going smooth, it is being speculated that Madonna might be the reason in her marriage's side. The pal says: "Gwyneth has the Madonna bug... bad. It's eerie. Gwyneth acts normally until Madonna comes around, and then Gwyn is all about Madonna, all the time. Madge has even introduced Gwyneth to all her friends.

"Now instead of going to see Chris perform, she'd rather hang out with people like Alex Rodriguez and Ingrid Casares." When contacted for comment, Gwyneth's rep said the claims of Madonna's influence were 'complete nonsense'. Madonna's rep also issued a denial.
