Nearly 300 of the actor’s items, from designer gowns to everyday basics, to be sold in Los Angeles, with some lots under $100

A customised sunhat. A slogan sweatshirt. A “mom” necklace. An old copy of Cosmopolitan. If these sound like items found in many homes today, they’re actually the castoffs of a household name: Gwyneth Paltrow.

Next week, nearly 300 pieces owned by Paltrow will be on sale as part of an auction at Julien’s, the Los Angeles auction house that has sold big-ticket items such as Marilyn Monroe’s so-called “naked” dress and the leather jacket worn by Olivia Newton-John in Grease. But, while those items went for six-figure prices, Paltrow’s sale is a little more affordable, with estimates starting at about $50 (£37) to $75 (£56) for some of Paltrow’s personalised stationery.

A moreish way to enjoy a popular Greek lamb recipe, accompanied by a pretty rhubarb pudding

Easter for me immediately brings to mind two things: cracking dyed red eggs together in the style of conkers (a Serbian Easter game that we play every year) and lamb. We always eat lamb at Easter lunch, and I suppose that simply harks back to religious tradition. Today’s lamb shank dish is a wonderfully straightforward and moreish take on a popular Greek recipe. I’ve gone for rhubarb for pudding, because it’s just so representative of this time of year – it’s also very pretty on the eye and a treat to eat, too.

As the weather turned, the photographer caught two traditional Filipino spearfishers in motion

Laiya beach is a three-hour drive from where Easelyn Pineda lives, in Quezon City, the Philippines. Last September, she was visiting the area with friends. “It makes for the perfect getaway,” she says. “We ate fresh seafood, went snorkelling and beachcombing, sifting through the tide pools to collect the most beautiful seashells we could find.”

On the day Pineda took this photo, she and her friends were exploring the beach when the weather turned. “Late afternoon, the ocean breeze picked up and brought a light rain shower, then it became progressively gloomier. This scene unfolded in front of me,” she says. “Two young men from the local community were spearfishing right off the shore. It seemed like they were braving the weather to see if they could add some food to the table for the day. It was a very humbling thing to witness and capture.”

• Reviews allowed for double bounces and double hits

• Players not able to challenge electronic line calls

Wimbledon will introduce video review technology this year that will allow players to challenge judgment calls made by the chair umpire, the tournament’s organisers have announced.

Players will not be able to challenge the decisions of the electronic line calling (ELC) system that was introduced at Wimbledon last year, but video reviews will be available to check other scenarios, like whether a ball has bounced twice or touched a player’s racket or body.

De nominaties voor de Annie M.G. Schmidtprijs voor het beste theaterlied van 2025 zijn bekend. De genomineerden zingen over familie, de staat van de wereld en hun angsten. NRC belde met de zes genomineerden.

Een scheiding is natuurlijk voor het hele gezin een drama, maar het is vooral de jonge moeder die het zwaarste lijdt onder een relatiebreuk. Dat blijkt uit van de Universiteit Wageningen. Ieder jaar eindigen meer dan 30.000 huwelijken in een scheiding. In twee derde van de gevallen zijn daar kinderen bij betrokken. Iedereen voelt zich in de eerste jaren na een echtscheiding ongelukkiger, concludeert de Wageningse socioloog Jornt Mandemakers. Maar het zijn ouders met kinderen tussen nul en zes jaar oud die zich het rotst voelen.

Jonge kinderen maken de financiële gevolgen van een scheiding groter. Ook het contact tussen ex-partners dat vanwege de kinderen in stand gehouden wordt, kan voor frustraties zorgen.

De jonge moeders hebben het echter veel zwaarder dan de vaders. Zij geven hun leven zonder partner een lager cijfer dan gemiddeld. Ook voelen zij zich minder vaak gelukkig, zijn ze onrustig, neerslachtig en zenuwachtig. Mandemakers: "Vrouwen lijden sowieso zwaarder onder een scheiding dan mannen. Daar komt bij dat de zorg voor jonge kinderen nog relatief vaak op de schouders van de moeder terecht komt. De combinatie van een scheiding, kinderen en zorgen om geld maken het extra moeilijk.”
