Gwyneth Paltrow
After taking a hiatus to stay home with her kids, the proud mother of daughter Apple, 4 and son Moses, 2 (father is Coldplay frontman Chris Martin) has returned to acting with a sense of balance for her family and her future in Hollywood. "I was very happy being a mother for three years, and I honestly didn't know if the fire would ever come back," Paltrow says. "But I realized that it's okay for me to want to express this part of myself. It's why I'm here."
