GWYNETH PALTROW - GWYNETH AND CHRIS TO HEAD FOR CALIFORNIA?

GWYNETH PALTROW has dealt another blow to her adopted home of London - she's desperate to raise her child in sunny California.

The pregnant star yesterday (15DEC03) admitted she finds the weather in Britain "wearing" - and despite previously stating her love for the city, she's now told British COLDPLAY love CHRIS MARTIN she wants to move back to Los Angeles.

The 31-year-old is also hoping LA's healthy culture will be better for her baby than the late nights and partying of the London scene.

A friend whispers, "Gwyneth has told Chris that she thinks California would be the best place to bring up the children because of its sunshine and health-conscious lifestyle.

"It's not that she wants to sever all ties with London, and definitely not with the UK, but she feels that for the duration of their childhood, at least, her little ones would be happier on the West Coast."
