When Gwyneth Paltrow is criticized, she usually doubles-down. Like, she can?t even believe that the peasantry has the audacity to question her about ANYTHING, so she goes overboard in justifying or explaining herself. But not this time. Gwyneth has literally done the least amount of work involved with the Food Bank Challenge or the SNAP Challenge or whatever we?re calling it. She proudly posted a photo of what $29 worth of food stamps would get you at the grocery store (so many limes!) and? that was it. She posted that photo on April 9th. She abandoned the challenge within days (if not hours). She went out to lunch with friends over the weekend, and now People reports that Gwyneth and her boyfriend went out for a romantic dinner of veal tongue and rabbit legs (?????).
Gwyneth Paltrow and producer Brad Falchuk took their romance tableside on Tuesday. The actress, 42, and the Glee co-creator, 44, dined at the L.A. restaurant Animal, which featured a barbecue-themed menu on Tuesday of pig ears, veal tongue and fried rabbit legs.
“They were sitting together, very cozy and romantic,” says the observer at the eatery. “He was totally rapt by everything she was saying. They were totally on a date.”
The dinner followed Paltrow’s announcement on April 9 that she had accepted the Food Bank for New York City challenge to bring attention to the struggles faced by families that live on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps, which Congress has slashed twice during the past 18 months. It’s unclear whether Paltrow is still participating in the campaign, which involves living off a $29 food-stamp budget for a week, or $1.38 per meal.

It?s not ?unclear?. Gwyneth is not doing the challenge, if she ever was. And that truly surprises me ? I figured Gwyneth would devote a Goop-post to her ?challenge? and tell us all how she managed to make some lovely lime-soaked rice (or something) and it was amazing and obviously that means she?s so much better at all of this than the (fat) peasants. Instead, she gave up and just phoned it in. ?Darling, just take a photo of some limes, I?m going to lunch with my lover.?
After I wrote that ^^ Page Six published their version of the same story, only they got Goop’s rep to say: “She already finished the challenge last week but only got around to posting the photo of the groceries on [Thursday].? So, basically, it’s what I said – Gwyneth only posted a photo of what she thought $29 worth of food looked like and then went on with her life. Page Six also noted that at this fancy BBQ event, it didn’t even seem like Gwyneth ate anything, despite the fact that she likely spent $85 just to attend.
Meanwhile, Gwyneth got HEAPS of criticism for even deigning to pay lip service to this challenge. The NY Post had a scathing essay about Gwyneth pretending to be poor, like she?s Marie Antoinette. Even Time Magazine called it ?poverty tourism? and declared the whole Gooptastrophe to be ?gross.?

I guess I?m an idiot, because I didn?t realize that everyone would want to talk about Gwyneth Paltrow deigning to try the Food Stamp Challenge, so I dumped the story in Friday?s links. So, let?s talk about it. Apparently, Gwyneth?s dear friend Mario Batali convinced her to try it ? the official name for the stunt (it?s a good stunt, but it?s a stunt, let?s call a spade a spade) is the Food Bank NYC Challenge. Batali got Goop and other people to try to live on $29 a week, which is what families living below the poverty line get in food stamps (SNAP) in the real world to spend on food. Gwyneth posted this photo on her Twitter:

Soon after Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin consciously uncoupled one year ago, the rumor mill started working overtime. There were always rumors about affairs for both Chris and Gwyneth, but everything got amplified post-uncoupling. To her credit, Gwyneth kept her infidelity game a bit tighter than Chris, although lots of people knew that Gwyneth was dealing with a married man named Brad Falchuk, a producer on Glee. Brad and Gwyneth met during her guest appearances on Glee and what was likely a casual affair turned into something more once Chris and Gwyneth uncoupled. At some point, Brad?s wife (and mother of his two children) filed for divorce. And soon Brad and Gwyneth were ?together? officially, although they would never be so gauche as to actually walk a red carpet together or hold hands as they walk down the street. Still, Brad has slowly but surely entered Goop?s elite world. And this weekend, Brad got to be Gwyneth?s plus-one at Robert Downey Jr.?s 50th birthday party.
Gwyneth Paltrow is off the market again. While her ex Chris Martin, 38, enjoyed a romantic weekend with actress Jennifer Lawrence, 24, Paltrow went public with her beau ? television producer Brad Falchuk. The Mortdecai actress, 42, made an appearance with the Glee producer, 44, at actor Robert Downey Jr.’s 50th birthday bash Saturday at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
The couple showed up to the star-studded soire together, where they joined celebs including Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux and Jason Bateman. Falchuk attempted to hop out of the car quickly to open Gwyneth’s car door upon their arrival, but he didn’t quite make it, according to a source.
“They laughed about it and seemed very happy to together,” the source tells PEOPLE. Following their party outing, the duo grabbed dinner Sunday evening in Santa Monica at Chinois On Main. The hostess greeted Paltrow with a big hug, an onlooker shared.
Paltrow has been linked to the American Horror Story co-creator for more than a year, but has flown under the radar with their relationship. They attended a pre-Oscars party together back in February, according to a fellow party goer.

On one side, I respect Gwyneth for keeping her game tight and her public profile ?clean.? I would assume that the casual Goop-follower ? not the gossip-hounds on this blog! ? probably wouldn?t even realize that Gwyneth and Brad?s relationship likely started when they were both married to other people. And Gwyneth will never, ever get tagged with the ?homewrecker? label. Pish-posh! That kind of label only happens to people like Angelina Jolie.
Before the clock strikes, one last happy birthday to a true great, Robert Downey Jr. Friend, brother, inspiration. ???

I never thought I would write ?Gwyneth Paltrow? and ?Hustler? in the same sentence, but here we are. Honestly, that?s not even the funniest part of this story. According to Page Six, Gwyneth recently deigned to purchase some commercial property on the Sunset Strip ? she (and some investors, I?m assuming) purchased Larry Flynt?s Hustler Hollywood store on Sunset Blvd. Which, quite honestly, I didn?t know still existed. But it did and it probably wasn?t doing that well, or else Gwyneth wouldn?t have been able to purchase it. So what does Gwyneth plan to do with Hustler Hollywood? If your guess was ?rock out with her 1970s bush out,? you?re wrong.
Gwyneth Paltrow has purchased a prime piece of Sunset Strip property from Larry Flynt and will replace the publisher?s sex store with a high-end night club, sources said. Flynt?s Hustler Hollywood has been peddling sex toys at 8920 Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood since December 1998.
?The building is in escrow and the Hustler Hollywood store will be moving to a new location in Hollywood later this year,? Flynt?s rep, Arthur Sando, said. ?The current location will remain open until that time.?
Paltrow and business partner Gary Landesberg quietly made the deal recently, with plans to replace Hustler Hollywood with a super high-end restaurant and night spot, the Arts Club, TMZ reported. The establishment will be modeled on similar clubs in London and Aspen, Colo., with expensive membership fees to join ? at least $2,000 ? and another $2,000 in annual dues, according to TMZ. There would also be a strict dress code.
[From Page Six]
Replacing Hustler Hollywood with a fancy members-only, dress-code-having ?Arts Club?? How gauche. No, but the Arts Club is a thing ? we have photos of celebrities coming out of the Arts Club in London all the time. It?s like the Soho House thing, part of an increasing trend to bring the more British-y, members-only, high-school Mean Girl bitchery and elitism to ?going out for a drink with some friends.? One simply cannot go out to a bar with some friends anymore, like a peasant. One must join a members-only club, pay exorbitant annual fees for the pleasure and be turned away on sight if you?re A) above a size 6 or B) not wearing $2000 jeans.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow, peasant: 'I?m incredibly close to the common woman' | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I?m trying to remember if I?ve ever used the phrase ?the common woman? in all seriousness. I think I might have written it sarcastically, to make fun of some peasant-shading elitist, but I can?t say that it?s a phrase that comes rolling off the (peasant) tongue for me. But then again, I?m not constantly defending myself against charges of unbridled elitism. To be fair to Gwyneth Paltrow, she was not the first person in this CNN Money interview ? she was asked how she thinks she has anything to say to ?the common woman.? As in, the CNN interviewer asked her that. So? while I?m not giving Gwyneth a total pass, I think she was just rephrasing the question. I also think she truly believes that she has an enormous amount in common with the commoners. Some assorted quotes from Gwyneth?s CNN interview:
The purpose of Goop: “What we try to do at Goop is curate and to edit. We know that a woman’s time is her most precious resource and we want to multitask, get a lot done, and what we want to do is provide the best solutions.?
The common woman: “I’m incredibly close to the common woman in that I’m a woman and I’m a mother and we all are in a physical body with beating hearts with compassion and love we are all seekers?we all want fulfillment, we all want to live our best lives. We want to be healthy and happy and squeeze the most we can out of life. I think that’s all women.”
The perception that Goop is only for rich people: ?I always say that when people make that false assumption, it?s because people haven?t actually gone to the site and seen what we?re selling and seen what we?re about? I think the idea is that we?re going to find the best thing and where it is at any price point.?
Don?t call her a lifestyle guru: “I see myself as an actor and a mother and as an entrepreneur. I don’t see myself as a guru at all. I’m not a guru because I’m the one asking the questions. I’m not purporting to know anything.”
[From E! News]
She certainly has her talking points down ? she said some similar things in her recent Wall Street Journal interview too. Do you really think Gwyneth Paltrow is down with the common woman? I think it?s interesting that she?s trying to seem like she is. I think it?s interesting that this is her new image. She?s no longer the snotty elitist deigning to speak to the common people, she?s trying to say that we are all women and we all go through the same crap. Are you buying it? And by ?buying it? I mean ?$5000 Goop-curated booty shorts.?

Here are some photos from this weekend?s amfAR party/gala in Hong Kong. I?m surprised by how many Western celebrities flew to Hong Kong for yet another amfAR gala, you know? I mean, amfAR is a great foundation and every little bit helps. But it feels like everyone attending this event had an ulterior motive, or perhaps they were paid to show up? In any case, the gala raised $4 million. Which was probably the cost of Gwyneth Paltrow?s rather gorgeous Harry Winston diamond earrings.
Gwyneth wore this Marc Jacobs gown in a pretty blue/purple. I was okay with the ?bumps? at the collar, but I?m less sure about the ?bumps? on the skirt. It feels like Gwyneth is trying to channel posh bubble wrap. As for her styling? she looks really pretty. Her hair (which was done by Marco Chan for D&V Hairpieces) looks great and her makeup is simple and pretty. I really do love those Harry Winston earrings too. Goop has really been bringing the jewelry p0rn for big red carpets lately.

I?m also including some photos of the other ladies at the event. Kate Moss also wore Marc Jacobs, as did Naomi Campbell (Jacobs was one of the sponsors of the event). Victoria Beckham is in her own design (and she wants her line to be huge in China). And here?s the kicker: Paris Hilton was there! Gwyneth and Paris totally walked the same carpet. How gauche.

I always think it?s funny when someone I ?love to hate? shows up and I give them the benefit of the doubt or I flat-out like their look, and everyone yells at me for not hating it. That?s what happened with Jennifer Aniston ? I genuinely liked her Versace, even though most people believed I should loathe it. And I?m sure it will happen again with Gwyneth Paltrow and her Oscar gown: she wore Ralph & Russo Couture with a big floral arrangement on one shoulder. You know what? I LIKE IT.
The dress reminds me of something although I haven?t been able to place the reference. (Oh, I just got it: Angelina Jolie did the shoulder-flower Ralph & Russo years ago.) I feel like Goop is referencing her own Oscar-winning moment with the color, right? Gwyneth famously wore that cotton-candy Pink Ralph Lauren and I feel like this petal-pink shade is a throwback to that. One thing I?ll give the critics: her hair was not the best. But at least she didn?t do a flat-ironed center part, eh?
People were complaining about her jewelry too. PEASANTS!!! Gwyneth got paid to wear Anna Hu jewelry ? the $425,000 earrings were cabochon Rubellites with white and yellow diamonds, plus sapphires and tourmalines. She also wore a ring made of ?rare 6.27-carat pigeon-blood Burmese ruby, Pink diamonds and brilliant-cut white diamonds, set in rose and white gold.?
And here?s Gwyneth?s BFF (in her mind) Beyonce, at the Vanity Fair party. Beyonce wore Stella McCartney (the dress) with a J. Mendel white fox bolero. I don?t hate the Stella dress, but I?m pretty sure Sam Taylor Johnson already wore it during the Fifty Shades promotional tour.

She?s become a red carpet fixture and Gwyneth Paltrow definitely didn?t disappoint her fans as she attended the 2015 Oscars tonight (February 22) in Hollywood.
The ?Shakespeare in Love? lady went all out for the exciting evening, sporting a fabulous frock as she posed for photos at the Dolby Theatre.
This year, Neil Patrick Harris has signed on as the master of ceremonies, while Jennifer Hudson, Anna Kendrick and Lady Gaga will take turns entertaining the A-list crowd with very special performances.

Pre-Oscar events are usually pretty well-attended, as stars from around the world descend on LA to get drunk and party ahead of the big show on Sunday. But I swear, I have never seen a more well-attended ? by A-listers! ? pre-Oscar event than last night?s Tom Ford show in LA. Tom Ford called it a ?presentation? of his Fall/Winter collection and all of the A-list ladies came out to support him. And of course Tom Ford dressed all of them. First up: Gwyneth Paltrow. What?s going on with everything above the neck? It looks like she?s having an allergic reaction to something. Is that bad makeup? I know it?s bad hair ? she needs to get out of her flat-ironed, center part rut. As for the dress, it?s okay. It?s a decent little cocktail dress. (PS? Goop is presenting at the Oscars!)
Jennifer Lopez was almost the headliner for this post because OMG BOOTS. At first I thought she was wearing grandma-style knee-high socks, mostly because my mind has been on socks lately because I?m on the East Coast Frozen Tundra. But these are boots. Terrible, terrible boots. The dress is not cute either.
In close-ups, Emily Ratajkowski?s lips are too much. But in full-length shots, she looks pretty hot. I?m not in love with this dress but she wears it well. I think the zebra print would be hotter without the lace, you know?
Naomi Campbell? ugh. Do you guys know that I?m not a fan of the one-sleeve thing? I have a general aversion to asymmetry in general, but one of the worst design tricks, in my mind, is to do one long sleeve and leave the other one completely bare. This dress looks surprisingly sloppy, right?
My biggest fear right now is that Julianne Moore is going to wear a custom-made Tom Ford gown to the Oscars and it?s going to be a total disaster. But? her outfit here is pretty cute? I would have liked it more if it had been a green one-piece, but I don?t hate this at all.
Dylan Penn is kind of snooze here. If you?re a would-be Fashion Girl looking to make an impact at what turns out to be the biggest fashion show in LA, don?t wear a blah little dress.
