Being successful, wealthy, pretty, and internationally admired doesn’t solve everything, you know. Every once in a while, Gwyneth Paltrow gets overwhelmed by the richness of her own life. “I think what stresses me out the most is trying to do so many things at once all the time, trying to be a good, present mother, trying to act, to cook,” Paltrow told us at the Bent on Learning gala last night. “I do a lot at once, and I think that sometimes the idea of trying to do all of that stresses me out a lot,” she says. Also, there’s traffic. “Traffic really fucking stresses me out,” Paltrow adds…

“Listen, I have a really blessed, weird, interesting life, and, you know, if my observations or the people that I get to meet are helping my friends, who are calling and saying I want to do this, or I want to go here, or what should I do, then I thought, well, it might be nice to share it with other people.”

Kim Kardashian turned up to the Stardust Pictures Pre-Oscar bash at Haven House last week looking like her absolutely stunning self in a belted Halston dress, but while posing on the red carpet she refused photographers the opportunity to shoot her best asset.

The snappers angrily yelled for the curvaceous Kardashian to pull her signature pose and turn for a back shot, but Kim politely declined with the excuse that she didn’t like the back of her dress. Also chiming from the carpet was sister Kourtney who strongly advised Kim not to twist her body for photos.

It turns out that aesthetic issues with her dress weren’t the real problem - poor Kim was suffering a wardrobe malfunction in the form of the dreaded wedgie! The reality starlet and little sis were on hand as stars like Zooey Deschanel, Alyssa Milano and Dana Delany shot a PSA for American Photo Magazine and The Creative Coalition to bring back the arts into education, but Kim was pretty quick to scoot off. …

And even though he is heir to an oil empire, Jason “Gummy Bear” Davis wore his pajamas to the swanky soiree, along with a leg cast. Mind you, nothing is wrong with his leg. Welcome to Hollywood.

You may want to take a shower after reading this.

Vivid Entertainment has offered Nadya “Octomom” Suleman $1 million to star in a pornographic video. Now Tarts has learned the disgusting details of what they want Octomom to do.

They want Suleman, who gave birth to octuplets in January, to have sex in eight different scenes with eight different men.

“The number eight is obviously heavily associated with her so we would like to work with that,” Vivid’s CEO Stephen Hirsch told Tarts. “But we would really love just to sit down and talk with her and come up with something she feels comfortable with. We want her to be involved with the whole thing from the plot line to the packaging.”

Hirsch says Suleman has received their offer and is considering it. Suleman did not return calls for comment.

“She’s struggling financially and this is a woman who wants to provide for her kids,” Hirsch said. “This way she can hold her head high and not be using taxpayers money to support her family.”

However, the New York Post’s Cindy Adams is reporting that Octomom has been looking at $1 million houses in the Los Angeles area.

So maybe - let’s all pray - she doesn’t need the money.

UPDATE: Octomom is keeping her clothes on! “Those guys at Vivid video must be nuts!” she told Radaronline.com. ” Who wants to see me naked? Maybe in a year when the baby fat goes away.” Tarts think she’s kidding…?

Jodie Foster has given us many amazing performances over the years - but one you won’t be seeing is her emotionally charged confrontation with officers from the Beverly Hills Police Department after they nailed her for speeding.

A crew from truTV’s reality show “Speeders” - which rides with highway patrols to film motorists getting caught speeding and then trying to talk their way out of a ticket - was with the Beverly Hills cops last weekend when they clocked a Prius allegedly going 54 mph in a 35 mph zone.

When an officer and the camera crew approached the car, they found Foster - winner of Best Actress Oscars for “The Silence of the Lambs” and “The Accused” - sitting behind the wheel.

Our source relates that, “Foster refused to sign a waiver to appear on the show, so the camera crew ceased filming and returned to the police car. But she grew quite agitated and angry, and kept insisting to the police officers that the radar gun must have made a mistake. She maintained to the officers that she was only going 30 mph at the time they pulled her over, and she kept interrupting and complaining that the process was taking too long.”

During Foster’s histrionics, the officer made a call to get his supervisor to the scene, “which just further annoyed her,” according to our spy. “Despite her numerous requests otherwise, the cops still issued her a citation.”

Beverly Hills Police spokesman Lt. Tony Lee told Page Six: “She was upset that she got pulled over, but she signed the ticket and went on her way.”

Reps for the Yale-educated mom of two, who made $15 million per movie, did not return multiple calls and e-mails. Foster, 46, who recently starred in Fox’s family flick “Nim’s Island,” is said to be developing a biopic about Nazi-era director Leni Riefenstahl.

RACHAEL Ray (above with husband John Cusimano) is officially an indie-rock groupie. During a performance by Semi Precious Weapons at her South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival preview party at Santo’s Party House downtown on Wednesday, the 30-minute cuisine cutie got onstage and screamed, “Not only is lead singer Justin Tranter the most attractive person I’ve seen, but I also want his high-heeled boots!” Then she jokingly tried to steal Tranter’s boots while grabbing his rear end several times. Ray will host an official SXSW party in Austin, Texas, in March.

THE stars of “Top Chef” like to sizzle, and not necessarily in the kitchen. Last week, when the Bravo reality show hit West Village hot spot Ma-dame X, contestants Leah Cohen and Hosea Rosenberg were passionately making out at the bar. “They were really going at it,” a bartender told us. The two had stirred controversy earlier on the show when they shared a kiss, leading to an awkward morning after, as each is in a serious relationship. Leah said on-air she’d apologize to her boyfriend. Hosea, who was later crowned “Top Chef,” said the same about his girlfriend. A rep for the show had no comment.
