Just In! Gwyneth Paltrow in NYC

The actress smiles for Estee Lauder after visiting her famous pal. Gwyneth Paltrow joined fellow Estee Lauder beauties Elizabeth Hurley, Carolyn Murphy and Hilary Rhoda this afternoon for a special in-store meet and greet at New York City's 59th Street Bloomingdale's. Gwyneth mysteriously missed an earlier appearance with the gals this morning at the New York Stock Exchange. Instead, photographers snapped her visiting the apartment building of pal Madonna, who, according to published rumors, has been linked to baseball player Alex Rodriguez. Madonna has denied any affair with the divorcing Yankee. Gwyneth was all smiles but didn't do interviews as the spokesbabes signed autographs and promoted their new fragrance "Sensuous."
