Show business can be generational. Just look at some common-day examples like Gwyneth Paltrow (daughter of actress Blythe Danner & director/producer, Bruce Paltrow), Angelina Jolie (daughter of Midnight Cowboy actor, Jon Voight) and Lisa Marie Presley (daughter of Elvis & Priscilla Presley).
Let's take a look at Hollywood's next generation including up-and-coming actors/performers/models like Jaden Smith, Emma Roberts and Zoë Kravitz.
Iron Man 2 star Gwyneth Paltrow recently paid a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show and dished on her globetrotting children, 6-year-old Apple and 4-year old Moses with Coldplay frontman/husband Chris Martin.
Paltrow's mom, Blythe Danner has said that she could see a future in showbiz for her grandchildren, and the doting grandmother may not be that far off! The 38-year-old Academy Award winner said that Apple is a "really good singer," though when Ellen pressed if Apple would like to be a singer when she grows up, Paltrow laughed, "I don't know, she says she either wants to do concerts like Beyonce, or be a baker."
When Ellen commented on the talent surrounding the children such as good friends Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Madonna, Paltrow added, "It's a crazy life, I wonder what they're gonna think about it when they're older."
The Paltrow/Martin clan call both London and New York home, which has given the children interesting accents. Paltrow shared, "I'm hoping I'll work a little New York accent into their British. It's sort of schizophrenic. My son sort of has a weird mix, and my daughter is totally English as school, and totally American at home."
When Ellen questioned Paltrow about plans to expand the family, the seemingly laid-back mama replied, "Whatever the plan is, I'm down for it."
Continuing with our Mother's Day tributes, let's take a look at some of our favorite celebrity moms who are close with their own mothers.

Doting grandmother and legendary actress Blythe Danner has a family that is brimming with talent. Daughter Gwyneth Paltrow won an Academy Award while in her twenties, son-in-law Chris Martin is the frontman in arguably the biggest band in the world, Coldplay, son Jake Paltrow is a film director, and apparently there is a new star in-the-making, granddaughter Apple Martin! Danner gushed to In Touch, “I definitely think she has that certain something. She’s very funny and beautiful. She adores her mother, and I think she likes me, and I think she probably likes to follow in footsteps."
The actress, 67, says of her grandchildren, including grandson Moses who just celebrated his fourth birthday, “It’s in their blood.”
Of her daughters parenting, Danner told OK Magazine, "Gwyneth really invests herself in an unusual way. She’s incredibly patient. She spends a lot of time with them. She answers everything. She anticipates. She never surprises them. They’re well-prepared for all the travel and all the things that go on. They’re very happy kids.” As for more grandchildren, Danner says, "I have no idea. I don’t pry.”
Up next for the film star is a slew of films, including her newest, Waiting For Forever, and the much anticipated sequel to Meet The Fockers.
Happy Birthday Moses Bruce Anthony Martin!
Gwyneth Paltrow and her two children - daughter Apple, 6 next month, and Moses, 4 today - along with her mother Blythe Danner and some friends were seen spending some quality time together today (April 8) in New York City. Gwynnie's hubby, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, was not seen with the group.
Gwyneth, 37, recently admitted that she loves cooking for her family and plans to write a cookbook.
[T]hat’s partly because I have this whole other passion, which is home-making. I always have done, since I was little. As silly as that sounds - it’s not 1955, after all - it’s really important to me, all that stuff, sitting round a table as a family.”
I wonder if she whipped up a cake for the birthday boy?
