Apple and Moses Martin may have two famous parents – Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – but when it comes to playtime, they fight just like anybody else’s kids.

“He just turned 2 last week,” Gwyneth, 35, told David Letterman on Monday’s Late Show. As for older sister Apple, “She’ll be 4 in May … it’s a very good age difference.”

At first stating the obvious – “Boys and girls are very fundamentally different, though, aren’t they?” – Gwyneth went on to describe Apple as “quiet and she’s imaginative and she’s very verbal, and she likes to sit with her things and build houses and hotels for her dolls.”

Moses, on the other hand, “will just come in and thrash the hell out of anything she’s doing.” Added their mother, “If he can inflict pain on her while he’s thrashing, then even better.”

Not that he’s not doing anything beyond the pale. “He’s very sweet,” says Gwyneth. “But we call him ‘our sensitive thug.’ It’s a line from a Jay-Z song, but it fits him perfectly.”

And Apple? “She’s kind of starting of give it back to him, in a very female, under-the-radar way.”

Gwyneth also marveled at her daughter’s vocabulary, saying that Apple will inform her that she is being “antagonized” by Moses.

“Wow,” said David Letterman. “Pretty good.”

All in all, summarized Gwyneth, “I’m very proud.” Of being a parent, she observed, “It’s the best. It just makes life worth living.”

Gwyneth was back on the promotional trail last night with another glamorous appearance at a screening of her new film Iron Man at New York’s Tribeca Grand Hotel.

Gwyneth, who has trotted around the globe in towering 7 inch heels this month – Burberry boots in Berlin! Pacchini platforms in Paris! – didn’t disappoint, arriving at the event in a pair of black patent Christian Louboutins.

And her Stella McCartney dress was stunning!

While Chris Martin was nowhere in sight after the couple vowed to never attend public events together, the 35-year-old wasn’t short on support, with friends (and fellow moms) Liv Tyler and Helena Christensen turning out at the event.

Of Gwyneth’s recent penchant for high heels, she says: “They were just fabulous. They were very tall but they weren’t hard to walk in.”

While in Paris last week she was photographed clutching her bodyguards arm, but she denies it was because she was struggling to keep her balance.

“I’m a capable heel walker but I had trouble with my knee while I was making the film and sometimes on stairs it hurts.

“People thought it was because I was falling off my heels which wasn’t the case.”

It’s Gwyneth’s first official press tour since she stepped away from the spotlight to raise her two children.

And it appears little Apple, 3, hasn’t fallen far from the tree.

“She changes her outfits about seven times a day. She loves clothes and walks around the house in my high heels.”

She adds that her two-year-old son is emerging as her toughest fashion critic.

She told the Mirror: “Every time I put on a dress he thinks it means I’m going out, so he says ‘I don’t like it’”.

While in New York, her hometown, the star also made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, where she arrived fresh from a workout in tracksuit and trainers, before slipping on yet another frock, and yes, a suitably high stilettos.

Like many moms, Gwyneth Paltrow says she suffered from post-partum depression following childbirth. In a new interview, she opened up to ET’s Cojo about what it felt like and how she got through it.

“It was a very difficult time,” she shared. “I just did not know what was wrong with me. I felt very detached, I felt like I was a shell of myself. I just felt like I was going through the motions of the things in my life. It was a very weird three to six months. I didn’t know what was wrong with me until I started to come out of it, and my mom said to me, ‘You don’t seem right. What’s going on?’ And I was defensive because I didn’t know what was wrong with me.”

The mom of two, Apple, 3, and Moses, 2, says she didn’t take medication because, “By the time I realized I needed medication I was already coming out of it.” She said, “I really feel for any woman who’s had it or going through it, because it’s not easy.” 

Next, Gwyneth can be seen playing Pepper Potts in the new ‘Iron Man’ movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the Marvel superhero. “It’s time to just have some fun!” she says of the film, in theaters May 2nd.

(My husband and son are psyched to go see this movie together..it definitely looks like a fun summer flick for the guys!)

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals in the May issue of Vogue that she battled post-partum depression after welcoming her second child, son Moses, in 2006.

“I didn’t know I had it until after it was over,” Gwyneth, 35, said. “I just didn’t know what was wrong with me.”

She suspects her depression stemmed from scaling back on her usual pre-baby treatments like acupuncture.

“I felt really out of my body,” Gwyneth said after giving birth. “I felt really disconnected. I felt really down … I felt pessimistic.”

Gwyneth also scaled her career back to focus on mommyhood. (Daughter Apple turns 4 in May; son Moses is 2.)

Gwyneth — who returns to the big screen in May’s Iron Man — has found her comfort level tackling both, her mother Blythe Danner recently told Usmagazine.com.

“She didn’t set out to be a movie star — she set out to be a wonderful actress,” Blythe said.

“But motherhood is very important to her, as it was to me, and I think she’s finding balance.”

Blythe also dismissed rumors that Paltrow’s 4-year marriage to Coldplay crooner Chris Martin is on the rocks.

“Good god, it’s just so tragic that people have to make up stuff,” she told Us magazine. “I’ve never seen two happier parents — or people — so I don’t get it.”

With her platinum hair freshly curled, Gwyneth Paltrow looked pretty in pink at Tuesday’s Hottest Pink Party Ever, the Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual spring gala.

But it wasn’t Gwyneth’s first party of the night.

Earlier in the evening, she threw a birthday bash for her son Moses, who turned two on Tuesday.

“It’s so exciting,” Gwyneth gushed to People magazine at the event, held at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel. “We had a little birthday party at 5 p.m. – a little dinner for all of his New York friends.”

The locale for this milestone-marking event? “A Mexican restaurant,” she said. “He loves guacamole.”

But the rest of the birthday celebration will have to wait a bit. “His daddy is in London,” Gwyneth, 35, said of husband Chris Martin. “So we’re going to do presents when we can all be together.”

In the meantime, Gwyneth – whose daughter Apple turns four next month – is left marveling at how much her little boy has grown.

“[He's] not so little anymore,” she said. “He doesn’t like a stroller anymore, he doesn’t like a highchair. He likes his independence.”

Happy Birthday!
