Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted that after footage emerged of Jay Z and Solange Knowles fighting in an elevator, she reached out to Beyoncé right away.

The actress does her best to be there for her friends but doesn't ask awkward questions, so contacted Bey following the infamous row last May following the Met Gala.

Asked her reaction to the footage, Gwyneth explained to Howard Stern on SiriusXM: ""I never say, 'What's going on?' If any of my friends have anything like that, I call right away. Absolutely... If someone's clearly going through something, I always go straight for it."

She went on to praise the "funny and sweet" couple before admitting her closest celebrity friend was Cameron Diaz.

"I have some famous friends. And I have mostly not famous friends.

"My best famous friend is Cameron Diaz. Jay and Beyonce are my others. They're the greatest people. They are funny and sweet, and self-aware and really intelligent."

Gwyneth also talked about "hilarious" Jennifer Garner - married to Gwyneth's ex Ben Affleck - saying she was "warm" and a great mother to her three children.

"I'm friends with Ben still. He settled down, and his wife is awesome!

"Not only is she beautiful, she's so warm and she cooks, and she's so into her kids. She's hilarious... I had a girls dinner before this summer. I really like her a lot."

However one person she's no longer in touch with is Winona Ryder: "I haven't seen her in years."

However she insisted that any speculation they'd fallen out because of her poaching the lead role in Shakespeare in Love from her friend was untrue.

"No, that's an urban myth. I swear to God I did not. I'm raising my hand on the Bible."
