DOMINI CLARK

GWYNETH PALTROWThe 35-year-old star told Oprah on Wednesday that she'll gladly burn off extra calories in the gym because she ''just cannot diet.'' She continued: ''I think maybe it's the idea that you can't have something ... I just can't do it.'' This from the woman who used to follow a restrictive macrobiotic diet.
