Gwyneth Paltrow: lady in the streets, freak in the sheets!

The GOOP goddess is playing a sex addict in the upcoming film Thanks for Sharing. The 38-year-old actress' rep confirms to Entertainment Weekly that Paltrow will star in Stuart Blumberg's film about a group of people who bond over their shared addiction.

Also in the flick? Mark Ruffalo, Tim Robbins and Joely Richardson.

In real life, Paltrow -- who's been married to Coldplay's Chris Martin since 2005 -- tries not to judge others based on who they've slept with. "Life is complicated and long and I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extramarital affairs," she told the Daily Mail.

But don't expect Paltrow to violate her own vows anytime soon. "I'm lucky -– I have a wonderful, blessed life. I have two fantastically delightful children and a very nice husband," she added. (Paltrow and Martin are the parents of Apple, 7, and Moses, 5.) She added, laughing: "Knock on wood!"

    At least she' s getting back to what she's good at. I don't like her personally, but I think she's a great actress. I don't have to like someone personally to think that. But all this other stuff she's been doing? Can it, honey.

    Oh the hate for her never stops. And it often doesn't even make any sense. She seems pretty down to earth and I think it is nice that she is challenging herself with the many different roles that she plays. It doesn't make a difference that she's a mother, she is ACTING. It's not gonna tramautize her children for god sakes.

    Why would a mother of two play this kind of role? IS she getting desperate for movie roles or what? You would think she would have more class and more common sense than this.
