Pregnant actress Gwyneth Paltrow has been spotted drinking a can of Guinness.

The screen beauty, who is expecting her second child, was enjoying an evening out with her Coldplay star husband Chris Martin at New York sushi bar Cube 63.

According to onlookers, the 'Speed of Sound' singer pulled a tin of the Irish alcoholic beverage out his bag after the pair had finished eating, and handed it to Gwyneth who quickly gulped it down.

The drink is famous for its huge quantities of iron, an important mineral during pregnancy.

However, the Oscar-winning actress, who already has a daughter, Apple, was not happy with the attention her Guinness guzzling attracted.

A source told America's New York Daily News newspaper: "Everyone was looking at them and she seemed a bit embarrassed.

"She looked like she was trying to melt into the corner."

Meanwhile, Gwyneth is set to name her new baby Mortimer.

The star, who is expecting a boy, reportedly wants to give the unborn tot the unusual name in honour of her godfather, Steven Spielberg.

Gwyneth - whose father, Bruce, died of throat cancer in 2002 - refers to the legendary moviemaker as 'Uncle Morty' and is keen to show him how much he means to her.
