Gwyneth Paltrow gives her kids to Stella McCartney

The actress — who’s married to Coldplay rocker Chris Martin — has revealed she palms her kids — daughter Apple and son Moses — off on her best pal Stella McCartney when they wanna go horse-riding.

“Apple has turned into quite an equestrian and as I can’t bear horses or riding Stella takes her out,” Paltrow told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

“I sent Stella a picture of Apple having a riding lesson wearing a PETA T-shirt and said, ‘She’s your child!’ They have really bonded.”

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Paltrow has been banned from going near Scarlett Johansson.

The pair clashed on the she set of Iron Man 2 when Scarlett, 25, took on the role of femme fatale Russian spy character Black Widow.

Gwyneth — who plays Iron Man’s feisty PA Pepper Potts — was left furious when her younger rival received more attention in the publicity campaign and made her displeasure known to film bosses.

Producers are now planning to give Scarlett her own role in a break-out movie — but they want British actress Emily Blunt, not Paltrow, for the next Iron Man installment.

“The plan is to cast Scarlett as the Black Widow in a spin-off film with Robert Downey Jnr called The Avengers,” a source told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

“They are desperate to have Emily as the villain in the next Iron Man film and will continue to have Gwyneth playing Pepper, though she won’t feature in The Avengers.”
