London, April 13 : Gwyneth Paltrow has temporarily moved out of her posh LA home, thanks to some unwanted guests - rats.

The stunning actress' house was said to have been infested with rats which allegedly led her to hire a pest control team.

And the Oscar-winner was now reportedly staying in an apartment near her mother.

"Gwyneth wanted everything to be perfect," the Daily Star quoted a friend as telling Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper.

"She was so excited about moving to L. A. with the family and to be closer to her actress mum. It will be the first time in ages that she, Chris and the children will be living together as a family.

"But her stomach turned at the thought of rats running around. She didn''t want her homecoming ruined by those horrible creatures.

"Being an animal lover, Gwyneth didn''t want the vermin harmed, just removed," the friend added. (ANI)
