Gwyneth Paltrow covers the new issue (the February issue) of Harper?s Bazaar UK. She?s promoting that terrible-looking Johnny Depp film, Mortdecai, where Depp tries to be a scarfy version of Peter Sellers. The film comes out in January, the graveyard of theatrical releases. I?m hoping that Gwyneth and the other stars will really have to come out to shill this movie, just because it will be funny to see. Anyway, you can read Gwyneth?s full Bazaar profile here. Some highlights:
Moving back to LA: ?There?s a deep comfort about it because it?s so familiar. The other day I was lying on the grass and the kids were playing and I was looking at the blue sky and the palm-trees ? and there was something about the weather and the smell and I was, like, eight years old again. I had such a strong memory of being a kid here ? it?s a really nice place to be a little kid, and it?s great to watch my children have that experience.?
Reflecting back on her marriage: ?It was very fast,? she says, and acknowledges that falling in love with Martin was also in some sense bound up with the depth of her mourning for her father. ?I feel like I would have died somehow if I hadn?t met him at that time. I felt like I was going to die of grief. I remember waking up, on one particular night, where I felt like I was having a heart attack and I couldn?t breathe… I lay on the floor of my apartment in London and I thought, ?I?m not going to survive this.? And he just picked me up and he was so loving and patient through all my grieving. He?s really great in a crisis. He has incredible empathy when it comes to somebody?s pain.?
Chris was only 25 when they got together: ?Too young. Men are very young at that age, and I was relying on him very heavily and I really expected him to keep being this grown man and pillar of strength ? which he was and is ? but it?s also quite an unfair set of criteria to give to someone who?s just 25 years old.?
Her evolved conscious uncoupling: ?It?s painful, it?s difficult, it might be easier to say, ?I never want to see you again,? but what good does that do anyone? We?ve made a lot of mistakes, and we?ve had good days and bad days, but I have to say, I?m proud of us for working through so much stuff together ? and not blaming and shaming. Of course, there are times when I think it would have been better if we had stayed married, which is always what your children want. But we have been able to solidify this friendship, so that we?re really close.?
Her early career success: ?A lot of good luck and a lot of hard work and a lot of being in the right place at the right time. But I burned myself out. I was doing three films a year, sometimes appearing in every single scene.
She claims she was self-made: ?My father was totally self-made. I grew up with the benefit of a great education and a beautiful house, but my father always said, ?The day you leave, that?s it. You?re not getting anything,? and he stuck to it. He was so hardcore about me making my own way.? This was a markedly different approach to many of her contemporaries at school in New York, who relied on family trust funds. ?But my father always said, ?That would ruin your life.? And it does give you such a good sense of your capabilities. I?ve earned everything myself, and I?ve never taken any money from anyone ? my father really pounded that into me, so I got the message.?
Being criticized: ?Women really need to examine why they?re so vitriolic to other women; why they want to twist words, why they want to read about someone else in a negative light and why that feels good to them… But I also know a huge tribe of women who are loving and supportive of other women, in ways that are completely transformative.?
Defining herself as a woman: ?I think we are a generation of women who are different in a lot of respects, and some of us want to be ambitious, and for it not to be a dirty word. We want to be feminine and soft, we want to be maternal, we want to be sexual, we want to be explorers ? and we can be a combination of all of these archetypes. You can be powerful, but you can also be vulnerable.? Finally, she says, she has ?learnt the power of kindness and the importance of nonjudgemental ways of looking at others?.

Sigh? I kind of liked her in parts of this interview. I?m glad she?s acknowledging that she moved too fast with Chris when they first got together and that he was really too young for all of it. But Gwyneth is still the same old Goop, you know? She doesn?t really care about girl-on-girl drama, she just hates it when people criticize HER for crap she really says. Remember this? She really believes she works harder (doing one film a year IN WISCONSIN) than peasant mothers working 9-5 jobs. She really said that.
As for comments about ?earning? everything herself? that?s privilege, right there. While her dad might not have given her money, she certainly worked her family connections to the hilt. And while there?s nothing wrong with being privileged and having Steven Spielberg as your godfather and your first employer, you should acknowledge that privilege so you don?t look so out of touch.

They put an end to their marriage earlier this year, but Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin apparently are happier than ever post-split.
A source close to the couple told E! News that the recently separated couple are making the most of their relationship status, making sure to give their kids a healthy home.
"Their relationship is better than ever since they separated," the source told press about the pair that split in March. "They have found something that works really well for them and their children."
Gwyn and Chris are parents to Apple, 10, and Moses, 8. Despite Chris' relationship with actress Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyn's rumored link to "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuck, the former couple is able to keep things friendly.
"They are best friends and there is a ton of love and respect between them," the source continued. "Because they have made a commitment to put their kids first and keep the family unit together as much as possible, the pressure is off the marriage and trying to figure out how they work as a couple. Now they spend a lot of time together as a family, but they also have their own lives with no questions asked."
The source continued, "On weekends if one of them has the kids and the other doesn't have plans, they will meet up and do something altogether. They truly love one another and think the world of each other, they just aren't a couple. They will spend the holidays together and make sure the kids know they are always going to be a family."

It feels like it?s been weeks since we?ve heard anything about the Dorito-dust-covered Bermuda Triangle of Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence. The last I heard, J-Law and Chris were still kind of trying to make it work and Gwyneth may or may not have been drunkenly panicking about it because Goop really thought that she had successfully broken those two up. Maybe she?s still trying? E! News reported on Wednesday that Chris and Gwyneth reunited last weekend and that overall, their relationship is better than ever:
It’s no secret that Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin may have had the most amicable split in Hollywood, most recently reuniting for some quality family time with their two kids over the weekend. And while their friendly outings have raised some speculation of a reconciliation, a source tells E! News that the two have simply “found something that works,” adding that we all should expect to see more of the consciously uncoupled pair.
“Their relationship is better than ever since they separated,” a source tells us of Oscar winner and the Coldplay musician, who announced their separation in March. “They have found something that works really well for them and their children.”
The parents of Apple, 10, and Moses, 8, have been able to maintain a mutual level of respect since calling it quits and have even supported each other in their subsequent relationships (Martin was most recently linked to Jennifer Lawrence, although the two broke up last month, while Paltrow has been seen out on numerous occasions with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuck).
“They are best friends and there is a ton of love and respect between them,” the source explains of the Hollywood duo. “Because they have made a commitment to put their kids first and keep the family unit together as much as possible, the pressure is off the marriage and trying to figure out how they work as a couple. Now they spend a lot of time together as a family, but they also have their own lives with no questions asked.”
Martin and Paltrow have been recently seen spending time together in both Dallas and NYC and, in order to keep things consistent for their children, they even have neighboring homes in Malibu, Calif.
“They spend a lot of time coordinating their schedules so that one of them is with the kids at all times,” the insider reveals. “If Gwyneth has business in London, she makes every effort to schedule it when Chris can be with the kids and vice versa. They also do a lot of family stuff together and support each other in their careers.”
Clearly, as fans of the former couple have witnessed, the pair’s children will always come first.
“On weekends if one of them has the kids and the other doesn’t have plans, they will meet up and do something altogether,” the source reveals, adding, “They truly love one another and think the world of each other, they just aren’t a couple. They will spend the holidays together and make sure the kids know they are always going to be a family.”
[From E! News]
My opinion: Gwyneth is still wary of Jennifer Lawrence in particular and any woman Chris wants to date in general. While Gwyneth might enjoy a quiet, elite relationship with Brad Falchuck (who is still married, last I heard, much like Gwyneth is still married), she still doesn?t want Chris to have real, public relationships with other women. Especially younger Oscar-winning carb-eaters. But I guess slow-clap for Gwyneth and Chris for figuring out how to have some kind of amazing separation where they spend a lot of time together and prioritize their children.

Giving her fans plenty of holiday shopping opportunities, Gwyneth Paltrow opened a Goop pop-up store in Highland Park Village in Dallas, Texas over the weekend.
And during her three-day stay in Lone Star State, the ?Shakespeare in Love? actress spent plenty of time rubbing shoulders with customers and posing for photos.
Gwyn even made it out to the Rag & Bone holiday party with co-founder David Neville when she wasn?t signing copies of her new book ?It?s All Good.?
Even famed designer Monique Lhuillier paid a visit to the popular shop, which is scheduled to stay open until December 14th.

More than a month ago, people noticed something funny in the then-new issue of Martha Stewart Living. Martha had included a dessert recipe for a ?Consciously Coupled? dessert for the Thanksgiving holiday ? go here to see. This was widely taken as Martha ?Gangster? Stewart poking at her enemy Gwyneth Paltrow yet again. The Martha-Goop feud has been simmering for a while, but Martha took it next-level when she openly criticized Gwyneth for ?trying to be the next Martha Stewart.? Martha also said Gwyneth ?just needs to be quiet.? Gwyneth responded to that by hiring the former CEO of Martha Stewart Omnimedia and by declaring that she (Goop) is ?so psyched? that Martha sees her as competition.
So, what now? The Rise of the Blonde Mean Girls, basically. It?s a fight to the death, through recipes. Gwyneth saw Martha?s Consciously Coupled pie and raises her a ?Jailbird Cake.?
Jailbird Cake? Seems like a dish best served cold. Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest baking suggestion appears to be a cleverly veiled diss at domestic rival Martha Stewart’s past as a prisoner.
Published on her website, goop, the dessert consists of chocolate wafers and whipped cream ? and brings to mind 73-year-old Stewart’s 2004 stint behind bars (and then under house arrest) for insider trading. Now that’s having your cake and eating it too.
[From People]
You can see the recipe for the ?Jailbird Cake? here at Goop. I hate when cooks/chefs just put layers of whipped cream into a ?cake? and expect that to be enough. Whipped cream is a dessert garnish, it?s not the whole GD CAKE.
Anyway, this is just the blandest, most WASPy rich blonde girl fight ever. Gwyneth and Martha are literally taking passive-aggressive swipes at each other THROUGH RECIPES.

Here are some photos of Gwyneth Paltrow out and about in LA over the weekend ? she was headed for a workout, apparently. Can I just have a word about those workout pants/Capris? They do not look comfortable at all. They do not look like great workout pants. I bet they chafe AND fall down at the waist. There?s nothing worse than having to adjust your clothing constantly during a workout.
Meanwhile, if you love or hate Gwyneth and her absurd Goop, you?ll probably want to skim this New York Times article. The NYT didn?t really profile her in a traditional sense, but they basically said that Gwyneth was the groundbreaker, the first of her kind as far as celebrity/lifestyle/branding crap goes. I?m sure that pleased Gwyneth to no end ? I mean, she only started Goop because she was bored and the parts started drying up. Now her side project has defined her brand and become relatively profitable, and other celebrity women are following suit. That?s why she?s so smug ? she?s ?the first.? (Except she isn?t the first, but whatever.) Here are my favorite parts:
[Gwyneth] is not alone; with her is Lisa Gersh, the 55-year-old owner of said apartment, a founder of Oxygen Media, the former chief executive of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Tracy Anderson devotee and, as of last month, C.E.O. of Goop, the aspirational ? and controversial ? lifestyle wellness-blog-cum-travel-and-cooking-tip-sheet-cum-shopping website Ms. Paltrow founded in 2008, and which Ms. Paltrow says she likes to think of as ?contextual commerce.?
?The other day Drew Barrymore and I were talking, and she said, ?Thank you for going first and getting all the scratches,? ? Ms. Paltrow said, noting that Ms. Barrymore had started a cosmetic line, Flower, in 2012. This was not long after Jessica Alba created her site, the Honest Company, to offer natural baby products and diapers; which was only a few years before Blake Lively founded Preserve, a made-in-America crafty vision; and Ellen DeGeneres introduced her E.D. brand, an ambitious project that bowed on QVC last month with holiday home wares and will expand next year into numerous product categories, as well as a website and bricks and mortar retail; and Reese Witherspoon announced that she was starting Draper James, a lifestyle brand, due in 2015.
The question is why, and whether it will last.
?It?s like heroin,? said Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair and host of the New Establishment Summit. ?You get on Twitter, and then you are dispensing advice about face cream to 500 followers, and the next thing you know you are a lifestyle guru.?
?Actors are not making anywhere as much money as they used to,? Mr. Carter said. ?Hollywood is not making the kinds of movies that require gifted performers. They are making the kind of tent pole movies that require rippling abs, and women as extras. So you have to make up that income somehow.?
Between the heightened competition and the expansion plans, it?s hard not to wonder if Ms. Paltrow considers herself primarily an actor or a businesswoman. ?I don?t like to think I have to be one thing or the other,? she said, looking out over the East River at the sunset. Ms. Gersh shakes her head and joined in.
?You know,? she said, ?lots of people have multiple careers. I was a lawyer, and then one day someone called and the next thing I knew I was in TV ? ??
?People like to classify you, and when you start pushing out of your box it makes them nervous,? Ms. Paltrow said. ?There?s a lot of resistance to women coming to the table with anything new. But if it were Justin Timberlake or Jay Z or even Donald Trump, everyone would be like, ?OK.??
She thought for a moment. ?If I had to say something, I would say I am a generator of creative content,? she said. Ms. Gersh nodded approvingly.
[From The NYT]
Oh, Gwyneth. Really? Gwyneth playing the sexism card. SMH. She and Gersh joke about their goal being ?world domination,? but even some of industry experts ? and TOM FORD ? are quoted as saying they don?t know if this is just a dumb trend that will die out in a few years, like ?hey, remember when celebrities had lifestyle brands?? Oh, and of course Drew Barrymore ?thanked? Gwyneth for being the first. OF COURSE.

Here is the latest image from Gwyneth Paltrow?s ad campaign for Max Factor. I think it?s hilarious that Max Factor hired Gwyneth Paltrow ? and it?s probably a very lucrative contract too ? and then they made her ?dress up? as iconic women, because Gwyneth?s look simply wasn?t enough. Not to mention the fact that Gwyneth barely ?transforms? into the people they want her to be. She?s already posed as Audrey Hepburn, Madonna, Farrah Fawcett and Brigette Bardot ? go here to see those images. This new image is supposed to be Gwyneth as a Marilyn Monroe homage. Er. NO. Marilyn was light and tragic and warm and funny. Gwyneth is icy, stuck-up and smug. It?s killing me that no one at Max Factor has just gone ahead and made her do the OBVIOUS one: Grace Kelly. I mean, Goop has been trying to be Grace Kelly for most of her career. She?s had enough practice.
Meanwhile, from the same woman who gave us ?I’d rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin? and “I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-A-Soup,? Gwyneth has a new proclamation: ?I’d rather die than be studying my face.? Oh, Goop.
She may be one of the world’s most scrutinised women, but you’d be mistaken for thinking Gwyneth Paltrow spends hours labouring over her looks. The 42-year-old has revealed that she ‘isn’t the type’ to look in the mirror and study her face and is extremely low-maintenance when it comes to getting ready.
Speaking to Stylist’s Joanna McGarry about her morning beautifying routine, the A-lister said: ?I’d rather die than be studying my face. I just brush my teeth and try to get dressed and get everyone up. I don’t tend to wear much make-up either.’
The glamorous mother-of-two, who is getting set to launch a Goop-branded range of fashion and beauty products, also explains that she’s been on a journey of self-acceptance and is happy with her looks.
She said: ‘I’m pretty content with my looks at this point. I like my wrinkles and you know, I like what I see. I try to appreciate the incredible life I’ve lived and all I’ve learned. I like that all of that is written on my face.’
[From The Daily Mail]
I think ?not wearing makeup? and ?being comfortable with wrinkles? are actually two separate issues. I?ll buy that Gwyneth doesn?t wear much makeup in her private life. We?ve seen enough bare-faced candid photos of her where I feel like she?s telling the truth about that. But I also think Goop has partaken in some Botox and such and I believe she?s probably obsessed with feeling ?young.? That?s what Goop is all about. But I appreciate that Gwyneth is still trying to convince everyone (Chris Martin) that she?s so low-maintenance (like Jennifer Lawrence). Gwyneth even chanced upon a pizza once and she didn?t hork!

How smug is Gwyneth Paltrow these days? VERY. It?s been a whole week since every media outlet confirmed that Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin had split. It?s also widely believed ? and sources confirmed as much to People Magazine ? that Gwyneth is one of the big reasons why Chris and J-Law split. Gwyneth orchestrated it, she casually and efficiently sabotaged them and J-Law cut her losses and walked away. Jennifer Lawrence was seen visiting Chris?s house a few days ago, but most people believe the visit was probably that awkward exchange of stuff, maybe a ?we?ll still be friends, right?? speech. Some people think Chris and J-Law could get back together. And some people think Chris and Gwyneth could get back together!
With their relationship appearing to be as close as ever since they announced the end of their 11-year marriage, it was only a matter of time before speculation would begin about a reconciliation. According to the Sunday People, sources close to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin now claim that the couple, who announced their split in March, are on the road to patching up their romance.
‘Despite being very different beasts, Chris and Gwyneth adore one another. I suppose it’s a case of they can’t live without one another,’ a source close to the couple is quoted as saying. ‘Talk of officially ending their marriage is not even on the agenda. Lawyers haven’t been introduced yet. The chances of there being a happy reconciliation are very high. The split released a lot of pressure from the intense relationship but they are still very close. They look back and enjoy what they did have and are loving what they currently have.’
The news comes days after it was revealed that Chris had split with Jennifer Lawrence following a two-month romance. And on Thursday night, the Oscar-winning actress spent two hours at Chris’s Malibu home, collecting her belongings and talking with the Coldplay star.
A source close to the actress told MailOnline: ‘Jennifer went over to Chris’s to apologise for the coverage of their breakup being so one-sided, reclaim her possessions and to ensure there were no hard feelings.’
The source insisted that Jennifer is now happily single, adding: ‘They’re not getting back together.’
[From The Daily Mail]
Everything?s coming up GOOP! I kind of wonder how Gwyneth?s boyfriend Brad Falchuk is handling all of this. The last we heard, Gwyneth had successfully ?homewrecked? his marriage and she and Brad were doing the ?openly dating behind closed doors? thing. I have different theories about what?s really going between Gwyneth and Chris at this stage. I suspect that Gwyneth doesn?t want him to be with anyone else, especially not someone younger, thinner or more successful. But I doubt she wants their marriage to survive. I mean? there?s a reason why everyone thought they were going to split up for years. They seemed really unhappy together.
Meanwhile, did you guys read the new issue of Goop? Gwyneth actually admits that she?s not all about the perfect lifestyle and that ?pizza, a cigarette at a party, a perfect martini, a daily glass of red?these aren?t ?cheats? or ?indulgences??these are just moments that can make a week more pleasurable, a night out with friends more fun.? Whoa! It?s a whole new Goop.

As soon as I heard about Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence?s split earlier this week, my first thought was ?Well, Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be smug about this.? To give her some credit, Gwyneth played the situation really well. She didn?t publicly diss Jennifer Lawrence, but you could feel Goop orchestrating some of the drama behind-the-scenes. Gwyneth still made sure that Chris spent lots of time with her and their kids. Gwyneth dictated the terms. Gwyneth still manipulated the players to some degree. And it worked. So, she has reason to be so smug? this time. She won. Her estranged husband is no longer dating a fart-soaked America?s Sweetheart.
That was fast! Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin?s relationship has fizzled out after just four months, and no one is less surprised than his ex, Gwyneth Paltrow. RadarOnline.com has learned that she?s telling friends she knew the relationship was doomed from the start!
News of the Lawrence ? Martin split broke on Monday, but according to a source, ?Gwyneth wasn?t surprised by it. She never thought the relationship was going to last because of their age difference. Jen is 24 and Chris is 37. Plus, Jen complained to Chris that she felt like the third wheel in their relationship because of all the time he spent with his kids.?
Meanwhile, ?Gwyneth always pressured Chris to spend more time with Apple and Moses,? the source revealed. ?The kids would constantly call Chris when he was with Jennifer, and whatever they were doing would have to come to a standstill. There was always the expectation from Gwyneth that Chris should spend even more time with the kids.?
According to the source, ?Even though Gywneth didn?t take Chris? relationship with Jen seriously, there is a chance they could get back together. Jen is young and impulsive, and Chris still has very strong feelings for her.?
A request for comment from Paltrow?s rep wasn?t immediately returned.
[From Radar]
J-Law and Nicholas Hoult did the on-and-off thing for years, so I think she?s like that. I think there probably is a chance that Jennifer and Chris would get back together at some point. And if Gwyneth finds out, she?ll find a way to sabotage that too. *GOOP CACKLE*
People Magazine has a story about why J-Law broke it off with Chris and, if I may summarize, it sounds like Jennifer was very uncomfortable with how close Gwyneth and Chris still seemed. A source claims: “It is hard for her to understand the feelings between Chris and Gwyneth. She thought that Chris and Gwyneth were a little too close for comfort. It was an odd situation for her.” Yes, Jennifer. You just got played by Dame Goop.
