Blythe Danner just wants her kids, Gwyneth and Jake Paltrow, to be happy. She recently shot a pilot for FX called Pretty Handsome in which she plays the mother of a cross-dresser played by Joseph Fiennes. And it’s got her thinking about what might happen if Jake came out to her with similar proclivities. “I don’t think I would be too fazed if he were a cross-dresser, actually. I might be titillated by it,” she said at a recent benefit for the Williamstown Theatre. “I would probably go buy him some fancy underwear. From a classy place. Bergdorf’s or something.”
