GWYNETH PALTROW GUILTY ABOUT CHILDREN

Gwyneth Paltrow

Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow is battling huge feelings of guilt as she prepares to film "Iron Man 2", because she has to drag her kids out of London for the shoot. The star, who plays Pepper Potts in the hit movie, will leave the British capital, where she lives with her husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin and her two children, on Monday to begin filming the sequel to the blockbuster picture in the United States. But the star is admitting she hates having to remove her children -- 4-year-old daughter Apple and 1-year-old son Moses -- from their normal surroundings. She says, "I'm feeling 'mother guilt' because my daughter is looking forward to going but my son says, 'I don't wanna leave my London house!' So I always feel pretty guilty about that. I try to say, 'We're gonna swim and it's going to be sunny!' I try to point out the positives." And the star is also insisting the children are often confused when she returns to work: "I barely ever do films; I'm with them almost all the time. But in a way it makes the transition harder. I feel like if I worked all the time, then they would be used to it. But when I'm always there and always doing the school runs and I'm always around and then I just disappear for 14 hours a day to film, it's hard."
