Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie left the kids at home last night in order to see the debut of Gods of Carnage at the Center Theater Group's Ahmanson playhouse in LA. The production recently moved west after a long run on Broadway, and the current iteration even features the original actors Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini, and Marcia Gay Harden. Brad and Angelina enjoyed the evening together after reportedly having a couples-only getaway to Lake Powell, UT, last month. They scheduled the romantic trip between Brad's days on the New Orleans set of Cogan's Trade and Angelina's humanitarian jet-setting, which recently brought her to Tunisia to advocate for Libyan refugees. Brad and Angelina will continue traveling next month with a trip to the Cannes Film Festival, so he can show off his movie Tree of Life and she can preview Kung Fu Panda 2. Angelina has yet another project on the way, with her new jewelry line Style of Jolie, which will benefit the charity Children in Crisis.

Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a dinner for her nearest and dearest on Monday evening at her pal Julian Schnabel's immense NYC home, Palazzo Chupi. We had a look at her famous guests leaving the bash earlier this week, and now here are snaps from inside! Gwyneth gathered her brother Jake, mom Blythe Danner, and husband Chris Martin to celebrate her new cookbook My Father's Daughter along with Cameron Diaz, Jay-Z, and many more. She kept the promotional appearances coming with a stint on Good Morning America yesterday and today on The Early Show. Despite all the emphasis on her kitchen skills, Gwyneth makes sure to keep her balance with serious dedication to her workouts. She showed off her hard work with trainer Tracy Anderson by doing the cover of Self magazine's May issue in a bikini top, and in an accompanying interview she discussed how her kids are the best inspiration to stay healthy and fit.

Jennifer Lawrence posed in bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and high heels for the May issue of GQ. The Oscar-nominated actress, who made a name for herself in Winter's Bone, is making her blockbuster debut this Summer in X Men: First Class, but also keeping her indie cred with The Beaver, which is officially headed to Cannes. Jennifer will have to squeeze in that trip to France right before her transformation into scrappy Katniss Everdeen. We think Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games is perfect casting, but she'll reportedly be changing her look, starting with making those blond locks much darker for the role.

Drew Barrymore stepped out in LA last night without her boyfriend Will Kopelman in order to toast pal Kimberly Snyder's new book The Beauty Detox Solution. Kimberly gathered even more of her famous friends for the event, including Hilary Duff, Fergie along with hosts Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. Channing was able to spend time socializing during a break from working on his next project — he blogged a photo from the production office of 21 Jump Street with Jonah Hill earlier this week. Jenna is likewise busy shooting the pilot for her new TV series The Playboy Club, and it apparently already has the approval of Hugh Hefner. Drew had the evening free from prepping for her own next big thing, which is directing the big-screen adaptation of How to Be Single. She's clearly off the market, though, as her relationship with Will continues to grow.

Gwyneth Paltrow posed for Self's May cover in a bright blue swimsuit top and jean shorts. She's promoting her new cookbook, My Father's Daughter, and shares an excerpt from the book and some of yummy recipes, including fudgy chocolate brownies. Gwyneth Paltrow's bikini body stays in perfect shape thanks to all her workouts with Tracy Anderson, and the actress touches on her rigorous fitness routine, love for food, and being in the best shape of her life inside the issue. Read more quotes from Gwyneth:

• On being in the best shape of her life: "I never thought that I’d be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom. But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too."
• On making her workouts more intense: "If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks."
• On her inspiration: "I go with my instincts. We’re capable of pushing ourselves and doing whatever we want to do. You live one time, so be your best self."
• On making time for herself: "Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first."
