GWYNETH PALTROW - PALTROW COY ABOUT PREGNANCY AT SCREENING

Hollywood beauty GWYNETH PALTROW has responded coyly to probing about the stage of her pregnancy at a screening of new movie PROOF.

Speculation surrounding her expanding waistline has been rife in recent months, until confirmation Paltrow and COLDPLAY singer CHRIS MARTIN are expecting a second child came earlier this week (begs09JAN06).

But despite allowing actor LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS to introduce her to the Proof audience on Thursday (12JAN06) as a "pregnant woman", the blonde star was cagey about precise details.

Celebrity TV show THE INSIDER reports she laughed off Phillips' curiosity about how far along she was, saying simply, "Far enough along to feel very cumbersome."
