Gwyneth Paltrow: Pretty In Pink

Only weeks after she paid a visit to a New York City hospital, Gwyneth Paltrow looked back to her healthy self at Madonna's charity gala in New York City last night.

Wearing a thigh-skimming pink Gucci frock trimmed with a big satin bow, Paltrow worked the black carpet before spending time conversing with her peers.

Meanwhile, Gwyneth's friendship with Madonna is said to be "intensifying", as the Oscar winning actress in reportedly exploring Kabbalah, the Jewish faith followed by the Material Girl.

Just last week, Gwyneth was spotted leaving the Kabbalah Center in the Big Apple after an hour-long visit.

Of the situation, a source has revealed: "Gwyneth had a very hard year personally and she's really pushed herself to the limit as a mother and an actress. Her getting into Kabballah is simply a response to that. She's a seeker, and with Madonna's encouragement, she's now looking into Kabballah - she's simply on a personal quest."

The insider continues: "Even though they've known each other for years, Madonna and Gwyneth have become especially close in the last year and a half to the point that they consider each other sisters. Madonna's never pushed anyone into Kabballah per se, but she's open about what she's gotten out of her practice and study of it. Gwyneth just decided it was time to experience it firsthand."
