In my opinion, Gwyneth Paltrow?s original intention towards the Duchess of Sussex was some light mockery and posh hazing. I still believe that Gwyneth looked down her nose at Meghan and Meghan?s lifestyle business and cooking show, and Gwyneth intended to leave some breadcrumbs publicly about her feelings. Gwyneth watched as those breadcrumbs were picked up and turned into a massive narrative in the British tabloids. It was all getting beyond her control. Which is why Gwyneth quashed the beef thoroughly by inviting Meghan over to her house and filming a funny little IG video with her. As many pointed out if only the Windsors had dealt with the situation similarly. As in, the Windsors tried to haze Meghan, it got out of control, and they should have backed down immediately and said: no, wait, that?s not what I meant at all, she?s under my protection, y?all took it too far. Anyway, Gwyneth was asked about Meghan over the weekend:
Gwyneth Paltrow has got a friend in Meghan Markle! In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Mindvalley Manifesting Summit in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 17, the actress, 52, spoke about her friendship with the Duchess of Sussex, 43.
Explaining that she and Meghan have not yet spent a lot of time together in person, Paltrow said, We have a text friendship so far. Ive been traveling quite a bit.
Then, referring to rumors that circulated online surrounding beef between herself and Meghan, the Oscar winner said, I dont like that, when people try to pit women against each other.
And when asked about her thoughts on appearing on season 2 of Meghans Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, Paltrow admitted: Sure! Why not? You never know. I dont bake that well, but I can always try.
[From People]
?I don?t bake that well? is so shady, my god. That?s Gwyneth?s version of ?I didn?t watch her little show but I wish her well.? Meghan barely baked on WLM! I would honestly love to see Gwyneth on WLM though Gwyneth has done cookbooks and she?s ?cooked? on camera before, but I feel like it would be fascinating to watch Gwyneth and Meghan interact with food in a kitchen.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow is getting 'a little bit sick' of her latest diet, the Paleo Diet | | Added 133 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

One of Gwyneth Paltrow?s greatest passions is ?diets.? She loves a diet. She loves trying new diets. She loves mixing and matching different crazy diets. I remember in the early days of her Goop newsletter, every other week she was on some kind of ?juice cleanse? or starvation diet (?fasting? for elites). Over the years, she?s promoted strict elimination diets, macrobiotic diets and Paleo diets. At one point, she even admitted that her doctors basically told her that she was making herself really sick with all of the dieting, and that her bones were really fragile (because she hasn?t ingested vital nutrients in thirty years). Oh, and don?t forget that she?s a regular IV user too, because she?s literally so food-disordered, she can?t just eat like a peasant or swallow vitamin supplements. Well, big news! Gwyneth has given up her Paleo diet.
Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed shes ditching her ultra-strict Paleo diet after years of being obsessed with eating healthily and restricting bread, cheese and pasta. The actress turned wellness guru, 52, who founded her wellness company GOOP in 2008, admitted shes sick of the caveman diet.
In recent years, Gwyneths diet involves drinking coffee for breakfast, bone broth for lunch and vegetables for dinner. The idea of the Paleo diet, also known as the Paleolithic or caveman diet, is to eliminate modern foods and eat what our ancestors would have. It advocates eating meat, vegetables, nuts and limited fruit, and excluding grains, legumes, dairy, salt, refined sugar and processed oils. Although its followers boast of benefits including weight loss, a smaller appetite, and more energy, there has been little research into its effects.
The Hollywood star turned to the Paleo diet a few years ago alongside her TV producer husband Brad Falchuk, 54. Speaking on her Goop podcast, she said: I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very very healthily. I really deepened my connection with food and the whole philosophy around macrobiotics which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan, so very local and seasonal. Lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no diary, no sugar etc. I think that period of time I might have got a little didactical about it.?
I was just so amazed that we had this power in our hands that if we treated ourselves well and hydrated and ate whole foods that we could just feel so much better. I was sort of intoxicated by that idea and I still feel that way to this day. Things have gotten a little more complicated with me and longer term with inflammation and stuff. Its the reason Brad and I became Paleo a few years ago now. Although I?m a little bit sick of it, if I?m honest. I?m getting back into eating sourdough bread, cheese ? there I said it. A little pasta after being strict with it for so long. But again I think its a good template, eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible. I dont think there are any doctor or nutritionist that would refute that.
[From The Daily Mail]
?Things have gotten a little more complicated with me and longer term with inflammation and stuff.? ?And stuff? is doing such heavy lifting. Like? she has consistently refused to put it together that she?s made herself sick over the years by adhering to these extreme diets, in between starving herself and using IV drips. I can?t even imagine being this food-disordered for so many years and creating a whole ?wellness? company around it too. Gwyneth is in her 50s and she?s still got all of these hang-ups over food and it?s just, like? leave us out of your disorder, you know?

Since the election, I?ve been thinking a lot about drinking. I?ve been sober for more than a decade, and I acknowledge all of the benefits no more hangovers, no more empty calories, no more headaches, no more alcohol-infused messy situations, no more shame, no more regrets. But yeah, the past four months have been incredibly rough and I completely understand how some people have fallen off the wagon. I completely understand why even non-alcoholics are drinking more than ever too. Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her drinking she?s always enjoyed a glass of wine or a cocktail, but her drinking apparently got a lot worse during the Southern California fires. Apparently, menopause is compounding everything too.
Gwyneth Paltrow says her menopause symptoms were made worse by alcohol ? and she drank ?every night? during the outbreak of wildfires in Los Angeles. Paltrow, 52, had a frank conversation about menopause on the March 4 episode of the Goop podcast with guest Dr. Mary Clare Haver, a board-certified OB-GYN and author of the New York Times bestseller The New Menopause.
?Im really in the thick of it right now, so Im all over the place,? Paltrow said of her symptoms. ?But I noticed my symptoms are, like, pretty well under control unless, you know, in January when the fires were happening in L.A. Ive, like, used alcohol for its purpose.?
The Academy Award winner previously said she was in ?deep grief? over the wildfires, which broke out in Southern California in January. Paltrow lives in Los Angeles with her husband Brad Falchuk, whom she married in September 2018. While she shared that they were safe from the wildfires, ?so many of our close friends have lost everything.?
It was during this time, Paltrow says, ?I think I drank every night. I was medicating. Normally, now at this point, I dont drink a lot at all. Maybe Ill have one drink a week,? she said, adding that drinking every night impacted her menopause symptoms. ?My symptoms were completely out of control. It was the first time I really noticed, like, causation in that way.?
?Lots of my patients say the same thing. Theyve really just spontaneously realized that theyve cut back on alcohol or just quit altogether because it just hasnt been worth it. They dont bounce back the same way. It stays in our system a lot longer,? said Haver, who penned the foreword for Naomi Watts? book about menopause, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish Id Known about Menopause.
Paltrow shared that shes been struggling with insomnia, explaining, ?Ive always been a real sleeper? but after menopause, ?I went through a particularly bad time with it. There were nights where my anxiety ? like, I just thought it meant, ?Oh, youre not gonna be able to sleep because you dont have enough progesterone or whatever,? ? she explained about what she expected from menopause-induced insomnia. But instead, ?It wasnt that. I would just wake up [and] I would get crushed with anxiety, which Ive never had in my life. And I would lie in bed thinking about every mistake Ive ever made, every persons feelings I ever hurt, like, every bad, you know, And I would be up, like, for six hours. It was crazy.?
[From People]
Or they would ?just quit altogether because it just hasnt been worth it. They dont bounce back the same way. It stays in our system a lot longer.? It?s true once you get out of your early 20s, it just gets harder to recover or feel ?normal? and that keeps getting worse and worse as you get older. I did a marathon of Sex and the City over the holidays and I was like? how are they all drinking so much in their 30s?? As for Gwyneth?s drinking exacerbating her menopause, I absolutely believe that and I?m sure the same would happen to me if I picked up a bottle right now.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow: 'I do think I have a bit of a sixth sense about where culture is going' | | Added 264 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Gwyneth Paltrow recently chatted with the Times of London to promote her latest gig she?s teamed up with the meditation app Moments of Space. She?s being phased in as the eventual ?voice? of the app. Like? I think Gwyneth is genuinely an underrated actress, but I?ve never thought her voice is particularly soothing or meditative. She actually has a really nasal voice. Anyway, the woman interviewing Gwyneth practically crawled up her ass and tried to make it sound like Gwyneth has been ?proven right? about every half-baked pseudoscientific endeavor Goop ever shilled. It made for a nauseating read, but there are still some good quotes here. Some highlights:
On meditation: ?I?d tried before but I did not get it. I first learnt T M [Transcendental Meditation, during which you repeat a precious phrase you have been given ? a mantra ? over and over for 20 minutes] I wanna say ten years ago? I had a great teacher and it was really appealing to me, but I just couldn?t quite ? I think I was at a more difficult stage in my life. I had a lot running through my head and my body and my nervous system couldn?t get the consistency. Then my husband, Brad [Falchuk, the TV writer, director and producer of American Horror Story], during Covid he said, ?I?d really love to learn how to do that.? So we went back to my original meditation teacher and he taught Brad, and then Brad and I started doing it together every morning.?
She has a sixth sense: ?I wouldn?t call myself exceptional, but I do think I have a bit of a sixth sense about where culture is going. I tend to be able to identify things a little bit ahead of the curve.?
Empty nester: ?In the fall Brad and I have boys that will be going off to university.? Moses, Paltrow?s youngest child with her ex-husband, Chris Martin, will be leaving home for college this autumn, as will Brody Falchuk, Brad?s youngest child. ?It?ll be interesting to see how the morning routine changes with no kids in the house.? How do you feel about them going? ?On the one hand incredible sadness. A deep sense of impending grief. On the other hand this is exactly what should be happening. Your kids are supposed to be, you know, young adults who can achieve and cope and make connections and be resilient. That?s exactly what you want. And that means they leave the house.?
Defined by motherhood: ?Yeah. I?ve been so defined and so fulfilled by motherhood. It?s been kind of the central ? it?s been like the central kind of ? I don?t know even how to articulate it! It?s like the guiding force. It?s what I return to. I observe a lot of my friends who?ve had kids who?ve gone off to college. Your kid ? it changes. And, you know, they come home a lot and all that stuff, but it?s not quite the same as living under the same roof all the days of the year. So I?m just trying to be open to what that means.?
Before her father was diagnosed with cancer: ?I was more like a Camel Lights and Diet Coke kind of girl. It worked for me, for a long time!?
Her father passed away at 58, and she?s 51 now: ?I have a very good friend whose mum died of breast cancer when she was little. Actually, I have a number of friends that ? There?s just an incredible fear around getting to their mother?s age [when she died], or past their mother?s age. I think in my father?s case, I mean, his illness changed my life and the way I treat my body to such an extreme degree. I?m so conscious of trying to keep a healthy body. I make sure I do scans and blood tests and screenings, so I don?t want to, like, live in the [fear], but, you know, you?re right. It?s weird, right? There is a little bit of, wow, I?m outliving this!?
She?s been right about everything: ?I think it sort of has led to people not being so mean any more.? Are people less mean? ?For sure. When I was, early on, talking about this stuff, it was fun for people, but now ? I?ve been pretty right about everything we?ve talked about. I think even sceptics are like, ?Oh, yeah, well, you know, my aunt can?t eat gluten.? In the early, early days, it upset me. My intentions were so good. I was really trying to bring another point of view and so I was like, ouch, why are people being so? why are people so upset about this??
How she feels now: ?I don?t give a f***. I don?t care. I?ve turned 50, I don?t give a f*** what anybody thinks. I think if your intentions are good and you?re 50 years old, you really don?t care what anybody has to say.?
Her guilty-pleasure TV show: ?Oh my God! Love Is Blind, which is like so f***ing terrible and I can?t stop watching it. There are these dating shows on Netflix, like, Love on the Spectrum. That?s another thing Covid did. I had never seen a reality TV show until Covid. I had just never done it. Now it?s a slippery slope.?
[From The Times]
Editor?s note: Gwyneth Paltrow was not, in fact, right about everything. Gwyneth spent years preaching disordered eating, radically unhealthy elimination diets and starvation dressed up as ?fasting.? Gwyneth amplified some silly, crazy and profoundly bad ?treatments? to some medical conditions. I would not even say that Gwyneth was right even half the time. If anything, Goop (the platform) mostly served as an exposure of Gwyneth?s true nature, and her love of quacks and healers and all manner of sycophants-to-the-rich-and-stupid. Now, she did have a ?sixth sense? about the wellness industry, but it?s much more complicated than that.

Gwyneth Paltrow?s Goop has had a beauty line for years, making their own branded skincare and beauty products, sometimes in collaboration with existing beauty brands. Last year, Goop Beauty launched Good Clean Goop, a supposedly ?affordable? beauty line with all of the core tenets of Goop: ?clean? branding and eye-rolling at broke peasants. Gwyneth repeatedly looked down on consumers who cannot spend hundreds of dollars a month on skincare. She repeatedly made a point of saying that Good Clean Goop was basically a watered-down version of what she wanted because they couldn?t put expensive ingredients into the products because then the peasants wouldn?t be able to afford them. Is it a huge surprise that Good Clean Goop isn?t doing well? Perhaps not. But what surprised me is that, according to Puck, Goop Beauty is doing poorly across the board.
Goop?s overall sales, which include Goop Beauty, have been more or less flat since 2021, I?m told. Paltrow?s wholesale beauty businesses aren?t doing great, either. Despite WWD recently citing ?Amazon overall and the wholesale business as key strengths for Goop Beauty,? I?ve heard that U.S. retail sales for the brand were only in the six figures at Amazon and Sephora for the month of May. (Summer Fridays did millions in sales at Sephora during the same period.) A spokesperson for Goop said that Goop Beauty?s sales overall are up 17 percent year-to-date.
Good.clean.goop, a more affordable and wholesale-only skincare brand that launched simultaneously at Target and on Amazon last October, also underperformed. I?ve heard the line is in the ?bottom 15? at Target, which de-escalated some partnerships following the blowback to its LGBTQ+ Pride campaign last year. A source with firsthand knowledge of Target?s beauty business told me that the retailer had ?reputational concerns? regarding Paltrow being a polarizing figure and decided to ?take a step back? in terms of marketing and in-store placement of the brand.
?They got so conservative because of what was happening with Pride that everything was put on hold. Gwyneth ended up opening up the brand to Amazon, and it was not an exclusive launch. The brand lost momentum??it was put on a back endcap in the store, and it never really got traction,? this person said. (A spokesperson for Target declined to comment.)
There was also confusion around the market, pricing, and buyer for good.clean.goop. The line didn?t necessarily appeal to Paltrow?s wealthier core demographic, but it was still too expensive for the not-yet-Goop?d customer who doesn?t want to spend $30 to $40 on skincare, especially in the absence of serious marketing and prime placement in Target?s stores. ?At the end of the day, it may not be priced correctly for what it is,? an executive at the retailer said.
Then the parody went mainstream. Goop Beauty lost its first-mover advantage when clean, nontoxic, and ?free of? beauty marketing became inescapable. With every skincare brand chasing ?clean? status??which, for the record, is purely a marketer?s gimmick since most ingredients on the ?dirty? lists would never make it into beauty products in the first place??there was little setting Goop apart.
[From Puck]
I fundamentally believe that Gwyneth is a bandwagoner who merely takes credit for inventing/pioneering most things, but Puck correctly points out that Goop really missed so many opportunities to stake out their claim in the beauty/skincare market earlier on. Now the gap left by Goop has been filled by Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, etc. Puck goes on to suggest that Goop?s ?midlife crisis? is the result of Gwyneth failing to ?install proper executive leadership, or even a seasoned C.E.O. with the operating chops to streamline the company?s various product lines.? I absolutely agree with that. Gwyneth has always expressed a desire for Goop to be a stand-alone entity eventually, and not be synonymous with Gwyneth?s name. But Gwyneth has still centered herself within the company, and for good reason because she IS Goop. But that also means that she?s sort of half-assed it when it comes to building the company and ensuring the company?s independence.

Five years ago, in March 2019, Kourtney Kardashian Barker finally found her ?thing? when she launched her lifestyle website, Poosh. Given that it was a lifestyle website started by a rich lady from a famous family and had a funny name with double Os, Poosh was immediately compared to Gwyneth Paltrow?s website and brand, Goop. It was labeled a ?ripoff? or referred to as ?Goop-lite.? The websites have similar layouts too.
For her part, Gwyneth surprisingly seemed to take it in stride, and in 2022, she and Kourt teamed up to do a little merch crossover. The result was a $75 candle called ?This Smells Like My Pooshy,? a play on Goop?s famous This Smells Like My Vagina candle. Really, the name of that crossover candle is so brilliant and hilarious. It?s not $75 brilliant, but I truly appreciate the pun. The Goopster (I will not even attempt to give Kourtney a similar nickname lol) is now busy promoting her new app, Moments of Space. In an interview with People, she brought up how sh?ty she thought it was when people labeled Poosh as a Goop ripoff.
As Kourtney Kardashian Barkers Poosh launched in 2019, it immediately drew comparisons to the Oscar winners own lifestyle brand, which launched nearly 11 years prior. But that criticism didnt sit right with Paltrow.
I was so upset when Poosh was launched and people were like, This is a ripoff of Goop,' the businesswoman, 51, tells PEOPLE exclusively while discussing the Moments of Space app. I was like, this is so awful, and trying to pit us against one another, which is so crazy.
Paltrow says the criticism Kardashian Barkers Poosh received made her so excited to do the candle collaboration, dubbed This Smells Like My Pooshy.
I thought it was hilarious, she says.
For Paltrow, its of the utmost importance that women in business come together rather than see each other as competition.
The world is better and stronger when women are in cahoots with one another, she adds. I feel like the patriarchy does this thing to us where they make us feel scarcity and that theres not enough for all of us to do our thing. And its so detrimental.
Goop has become a part of the pop culture zeitgeist. From its viral launches to its often-criticized wellness advice, the brand has remained a part of the conversation while climbing to new heights of success.
In the 15 years since I founded the company, and I think unfortunately youve seen a lot of companies who started either at the same time or after us, havent found that longevity or havent found that fit in the market, she says. I feel like we just stay really true to ourselves and then we just keep going and keep growing somehow.
Among its very exciting new launches is its more affordable Good.Clean.Goop. line at Target. We really over-delivered on that product and its at such a great price point. Im very proud of that, she shares.
[From People]
Silly plebs. Don?t you know that Goop and Poosh aren?t in competition with each other? One was founded to rip off bored rich white ladies while the other is geared towards regular women with expendable cash! Duh. Poosh?s logo is in all caps while Goop goes hipster with an all lowercase serif font. They?re clearly very different websites that happen to cover similar topics and sell similar types of products. Obviously. But jokes aside, it isn?t cool to pit women against each other. Poke fun at the ridiculous things they promote or sell, but you don?t have to put them in competition with each other. I am surprised that it took Goop this long to jump on the Target bandwagon, though. Expanding to the Tar-jay crowd seemed like a no-brainer.

The United Arab Emirates figured that out long ago as well, with Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar successfully sportswashing their oil-rich portfolios and creating a huge Middle East tourism boom out of nowhere. So Saudi Arabia is trying to follow that path, attempting to invest in the PGA tour and the international tennis tours, and trying like hell to sign Leo Messi. But it?s not all sportswashing the Saudis now host the Red Sea Film Festival, where American and international celebrities are invited to travel to Jeddah to promote their films, participate in Q&A sessions about their careers and more. I would imagine a nice appearance fee comes with the invitation.
All of which to say, I?ve been surprised to see just how many celebrities went to Jeddah this year for the film festival. Halle Berry, Gwyneth Paltrow, Henry Golding, Andrew Garfield, Sharon Stone and many more came out this year. The photos in this post are from the closing ceremony. How much did these people get paid? I wouldn?t imagine that Gwyneth would fly to Saudi Arabia for anything less than seven figures. Fashion notes: Gwyneth?s gown is Carolina Herrera?s Resort 2024; Halle wore Elie Saab; I assume Georgina Chapman is wearing Marchesa; Freida Pinto?s red gown is so unflattering!
During her Q&A session, Gwyneth confessed: ?I?ve never seen Endgame. I?ve never seen any of these. I can?t keep track. I probably should at some point.? It?s rude but it?s also really funny how little she gives a sh-t about the massive franchise she was part of.

Much like Anne Hathaway, Gwyneth Paltrow also got to choose a vintage Valentino look from the Valentino archives for last night?s British Fashion Awards. I have no idea if the house of Valentino actually selected the looks or Anne and Gwyneth got to choose their own, but I suspect that Gwyneth probably would have chosen differently. Did no one tell her that she was going to ?match? the Fashion Awards background? It?s also hilarious because Anne got the far superior vintage look. Goop looks like a fuzzy tomato.
Pamela Anderson in Stella McCartney actually one of my favorite looks of the night? She?s been going no-makeup to events this year and she looks amazing.
Jodie Comer in Victoria Beckham. She looks underdressed, but it?s fine.
Taylor Russell in Loewe. Loewe is so funky! This looks really cool on Taylor though, and she?s become a budding fashionista.
Hello, Andrew Garfield in a tux!

Back in March, the trial of the year went down in a Park City, Utah courtroom. The defendant was a rich, misunderstood, vagina-egg lovin? nepo baby and the plaintiff was a retired optometrist who sadly lost his ability to enjoy wine tastings. The media loved it. The people on social media loved it. A new set of memes and an appreciation for white turtlenecks and aviators was born.
I am, of course, referencing Gwyneth Paltrow?s ski accident trial. A quick recap: Gwyneth and her family were skiing in Park City back in 2016 when she collided with another skier, Terry Sanderson. Sanderson sued Paltrow for $3 million (later reduced to $300,000) in damages, claiming he?d suffered broken bones and lasting brain damage. The Goopster countersued for $1 in damages and the cost of legal fees. She won and told Sanderson, ?I wish you well,? on the way out. That this is a thing that happened still blows my mind. But, you know what this whole scenario really needed? A musical about it.
Audiences eager to revisit the peaks and valleys of Gwyneth Paltrow?s legal battle over a skiing accident should consider a trip to England, where a stage musical based on the much-publicized trial will premiere next month.
Set to open Dec. 13 at London?s Pleasance Theatre, ?Gwyneth Goes Skiing? is billed by theater company Awkward Productions as ?a story of love, betrayal, skiing, and (somehow) Christmas.?
Actor Linus Karp stars as Paltrow, while longtime collaborator Joseph Martin portrays Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist who accused the Oscar winner and Goop founder of crashing into him on the slopes of Utah?s Deer Valley Resort in 2016.
Although the March trial ended in Paltrow?s favor, attendees will serve as the jury and ultimately decide the outcome in its theatrical counterpart.
?She?s the Goop-founding, Door-Sliding, Shakespeare-In-Loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar,? a logline on Pleasance Theatre?s website reads. ?He?s a retired Optometrist from Utah. In 2016, they went skiing. On the slopes of Deer Valley, their worlds collided, and so did they ? literally. Ouch. Seven years later in 2023, they went to court. Double ouch.?
Though other specifics of the production are scarce, the show will feature music by singer-songwriter Leland, who has previously collaborated with Cher and Troye Sivan, among other pop artists.
On Wednesday, Leland teased his involvement with the show with a tongue-in-cheek post on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter.
?Wait till you hear the 11 o?clock number,? he wrote.
Just how ?Gwyneth Goes Skiing? will fare with critics and theatergoers remains to be seen. However, it?s safe to say that the real-life case on which the musical is based became a televised, meme-ified spectacle that seems ripe for dramatic treatment.
Media coverage of the two-week trial was breathless. The New Yorker deemed it Paltrow?s ?best role in years,? noting that the actor had ?unabashedly leaned into every stereotype that has ever been used to label her, in a performance that rises to the level of Ryan Murphy-esque high camp.?

Okay, I know we don?t *need* a musical about The Great Ski and Run Trial of 2023, but I don?t care. I didn?t need that king-sized Kit Kat I just stole from my son?s Halloween basket but I enjoyed the hell out of it anyway. I don?t need to tell y?all that it?s been a rough almost-decade. I chose to find glee (see what I did there?) in something as absurd as this. I wonder if the 11 o?clock number is called ?I Wish You Well,? and if it will be a self-affirming solo or a duet between Goopy and Terry a la ?For Good? from Wicked. I also keep singing ?Roxie? from Chicago in my head. The name on everybody?s lips is gonna be?Gwyneth!
London-based peeps, you have to go to Gwyneth Goes Skiing and report back. My sister lives in London and no joke, I?m about to text her to go get tickets. I expect it to be just as campy, outrageous, and magical as the description makes it sound. Oh, I do hope that it becomes a cult classic and gets the Rocky Horror Picture Show treatment with people dressing up and calling things out with prompts. Man, what a time to be alive. In the words of the great Roxie Hart, ?And that?s showbiz, kids.?

Gwyneth Paltrow covers this week?s issue of People Magazine. She?s promoting multiple things, mainly the 15th anniversary of Goop and Goop?s new Target/Amazon beauty line, Good Clean Goop. This is like the third thing I?ve read or watched from Gwyneth as she looks down her nose at the peasants who want affordable beauty and skincare products. Every single time, she mentions the fact that she would have loved to put more ingredients better ingredients into the product line but they had to keep the costs down, so you?ll take what you can get and you?re welcome, peasants. That?s what she talks about in the People Mag cover story video, but in the print edition, she?s talking a lot about her 50s and being on the verge of having an empty nest.
Her 50s: ?I had the erroneous idea that I would be able to downshift a little bit. But life is very full-on. Its been very intense.?
The good.clean.goop product line: We felt passionate about creating clean, efficacious products at a more accessible price for a broader audience. They call it masstige in the industry. I love that word, between ?mass? and ?prestige.? So we set out to create this, and it?s been so much fun.?
Her marriage to Brad Falchuk: Shes cherishing the quieter moments at the Faltrow? residence, as she calls it. Nights are filled with cooking family dinners while listening to French pop music (her current favorite genre) and watching European murder-mystery shows. But Paltrow admits blending a family, especially one with four teenagers, is no easy task. ?It?s hard, and it?s not intuitive, and nobody tells you how to do it. You just stick with it. Now it?s one of the things that brings me the most happiness in my life.?
Moses is in his senior year of high school & Apple is already in college: Gwyneth says she prefers the term ?free birds? to empty-nesters. ?I?m trying to reframe it so that I can at least try to convince myself there?s some kind of a silver lining. Empty nest sounds so sad and lonely.?
New chapters: ?I believe that life, especially for women, comes in chapters. This is really going to be a new chapter for me.?

Back in the ?90s, if you told me that Gwyneth would practically give up acting in her 30s to focus on wellness, beauty lines and clothing lines, I would not have believed you. We would have called her a sellout too, but it?s interesting to think back on how ?selling out? was a mortal sin back then, and now everyone?s like, yay, sell out and make that money. As for ?free birds? rather than empty nesters? say what you will about Gwyneth (she?s an elitist ahole pushing pseudoscience on gullible rich women) but her kids turned out okay. I keep getting the impression that Gwyneth?s stepkids kind of hate her though. LOL.
