Gwyneth Paltrow says her schooldays were "salacious".

The 'Two Lovers' actress has revealed her time at The Spence School in New York - which is regarded as one of the top private schools in the US - was full of scandal. She said: "You know there were some salacious things that went on."

When asked if she was ever involved, Gwyneth replied: "Well not until I got a bit older!" The Spence School - which Gwyneth attended before a brief stint at the University of California - is commonly believed to be the inspiration behind the raunchy US TV show 'Gossip Girl'.

The programme is based on a series of novels by Cecily von Ziegesar and follows the tell-all blog of one of the wealthy students. Gwyneth added: "It's quite interesting, I don't know how much they dramatise the show.

But I can see it being a bit salacious." The TV adaptation stars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester as two of the socialite schoolgirls.
