Gwyneth is still kind of pleasantly crazy. Well? is that the right way to describe her? I actually think Gwyneth?s life philosophy could be really destructive and it could end up hurting a lot of people, only no one takes her seriously, right? Even Goop?s defenders just roll their eyes at her Goopiness. Anyway, Gwyneth wouldn?t shut up when she was at the opening of Tracy Anderson?s studio/gym on Thursday, so we now have SO MUCH GOOP. So much humble-bragging, so many bread crumbs of Goop thrown to the peasants. Some highlights from Goop?s assorted interviews:
Stripper?s butt: Paltrow recalled one incident in particular, when she was trying on bathing suits with a pal and received a rather unusual compliment about her figure. “I said, ‘You know, this isn’t so bad for 40, right?’” Paltrow mused of her butt. “And [my friend] goes, ‘It’s not so bad for a 22-year-old stripper!’”
Goop loves talking about her butt: “Oh, I knew it would never change!” she told reporters. “I had exercised before I had met her ? I had done Ashtanga yoga and pilates and I [ran] and I thought I was fit, you know?”
She does Tracy?s workouts every day: “I just sob and then kick and scream and then I just force myself to do it. I just got obsessed. When you see results like that, I started following everything she said and she completely transformed my body and I’m so grateful.”
She deigned to defend Kim Kardashian (who was also at the opening): ?I think that women should support each other, especially through pregnancy. It?s a difficult time and I think Kim Kardashian looks absolutely beautiful. And we’re supposed to gain weight when pregnant — that?s how God intended it.?
[From Entertainment Tonight & Us Weekly]
Goop would never deign to fish for compliments like a peasant. She would never compliment herself either. Instead, she will just tell you about some mysterious ?friend? (probably Beyonce) who told her she had the butt of a 22-year-old stripper. Wait, what if Chris Martin told her that? Wouldn?t the follow-up question be, ?How do you know what a 22-year-old stripper?s butt looks like?? But sure, I’ll buy that Goop has the ass of a 22-year-old stripper. Too bad she has the vitamin deficiency of a 88-year-old with osteoarthritis.
Anyway? as for her defense of Kim Kardashian, is anyone else SHOCKED? I?m shocked. But I guess I shouldn?t be. Kim is a client of Tracy, Tracy is in business with Gwyneth and Gwyneth sees it as her duty to make nice with clients. I guess.
Oh, and Gwyneth works out every day? On top of smoking, drinking and starving herself? Jaysus. No wonder she thought she was dying when she had a headache.

Here are some photos from last night?s opening of ?the Tracy Anderson Flagship Studio? in Brentwood. If you?ve been following this crap long enough, you know that Tracy Anderson used to be in business with Madonna until Tracy and her con artist friends defrauded Madonna of hundreds of thousands of dollars (mostly from Madonna?s charity), and then Tracy moved on to Gwyneth Paltrow and now they?re in business together. Gwyneth and Tracy have opened up this studio together, and they?re also doing a blow-dry bar in the same space, I think. So, this was the launch/opening for everything.
And what a peasanty evening it was! Gwyneth wore this (surprisingly cute) purple Victoria Beckham dress and a pair of the ugliest Michael Kors shoes I?ve ever seen. Tracy wore? I have no idea. She looks like ten kinds of hell, so who cares what she?s wearing and why would you ever want to take her advice about anything? As for any new Goop quotes… I found this one, where she’s discussing how she loves to listen to hip-hop when Chris isn’t at home: “He can’t have background music on; it has to be 100 per cent of his attention. But if he isn’t at home, I turn on the hip-hop – I’m like a bad mutha rapping along to every word as I cook.” Oh, Goop. You are a bad mutha. Oh, and here’s Goop’s new Goop-letter. I found it boring.
Hilariously, the biggest ?names? (other than Goop) at this event were Stacy Keibler (in Rebecca Minkoff) and (gulp) Kim Kardashian. As you can imagine, Gwyneth did NOT deign to pose for photos with either Stacy or Kim. Because Lady Goop deigns to mingle with the peasantry, but let?s not ever forget that she IS elite. She will open a ?studio? so that fat peasants can try to lose weight to look more like Gwyenth, but she doesn?t really want to talk to them or be seen with them.

Here is Gwyneth Paltrow posing with her new book It?s All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes that Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great at her signing at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles. She looked super chic in an Isabel Marant dress and belt, Michael Kors boots, and a Repossi ear cuff.
Gwyneth?s latest cookbook earned some decidedly mixed reviews. Ultimately, I know I could never follow the restrictive diets she promotes. Healthy or not, I?m not giving up all the foods she avoids. I just don?t have that woman?s discipline! What about you: did you buy Gwyneth?s latest cookbook? Have you tried any recipes from this cookbook or her previous one?

Here are some new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow last night at a ?book signing for peasants? at an LA Barnes & Noble. Goop wore a minidress by Isabel Marant which? well, the dress doesn?t suck, but the pattern is giving me a headache. It?s too busy, especially with the belt. Her shoes are Michael Kors. The Mail pointed out that Chris Martin was seen taking their kids to Gwyneth?s book signing at The Grove too. How gauche!
I kept waiting to write this story because I was hoping to include this week?s Goop-letter here, but I?m tired of waiting for it. She hasn?t released it yet, probably because she?s so exhausted from last night?s book signing. Interacting with peasants takes so much out of her.
In my previous Goop story today, I gave you guys the link to the Amazon customer reviews and the growing flame-war, which is absolutely hilarious. The ?official? reviews from book critics and cook-book experts have started coming in too, and there seems to be a growing flame war amongst professionals too. I?ll give you some good links:
The Atlantic Wire: ?It’s All Good seems to take laughable Hollywood neuroticism about eating to the next level.?
HuffPo: ?We?re going to try really, really hard to keep this about the food, as this is a space devoted to that and we are, in fact, talking about a cookbook (even though it is very easy to occasionally think that you are paging through a J Crew catalogue). We knew things were going to get rough when we counted roughly 35 photos of Gwyneth, as compared to the roughly 86 photos of food in the book. For those keeping track, that’s somewhere around one quarter of the photos in this cookbook.?
Macleans: ?But foodie-ism and the possibility of encouraging eating-disordered behaviour aside, Science-ish was immediately stung by the panorama of pseudoscience premises on which the cookbook rests.?
The NY Post: ?The book reads like the manifesto to some sort of creepy healthy-girl sorority with members who use beet juice rather than permanent marker to circle the ?problem areas? on each other?s bodies.?
And in case you wanted to read the cornucopia of Goop?s best lines from her cookbook, go here to Eater.com. It?s pretty amazing. I love all of the references to how many homes Gwyneth has.

Here are some photos of Gwyneth Paltrow arriving at the Chateau Marmont yesterday. She looks sort of rough-and-tumble (Goop-style), and it suits her. I love when Gwyneth?s hair is natural ? like, she just washes it and lets it air dry and you can see that her hair is actually rather thick and she?s got some natural waves. Why doesn?t she rock that natural look more often? It makes her look younger! But Gwyneth insists on her 1990s styling, with flat-ironing and center parts and all of that mess. Also, I?m pretty sure that her outfit probably costs as much as a new car. I?m sure that shirt is $500 and the pants are $2000 and the shoes are $5000 and it?s all specially made by Tom Ford specifically for Goop or something.
Anyway, Gwyneth?s second cookbook was officially released yesterday. It?s All Good is already a success ? it?s a bestseller on Amazon and when Gwyneth offered signed copies on Goop last week, the limited number of copies sold out really quickly. People love what Gwyneth is shilling. Maybe we should just go with it, I guess. Maybe we should just embrace Gwyneth?s aspirational materialism, nonsensical (and often contradictory) dieting advice and her obliviousness to lifestyles not her own. We need to bathe ourselves in the goopiness of life. In case you want to laugh, however, I would suggest reading the growing flame war of Amazon reviewers. It?s getting good!
Meanwhile, Gwyneth has given a new interview about her skincare, which? eh. I don?t think Gwyneth has to-die-for skin and I don?t even think she takes very good care of her skin either. But according to Gwyneth, Her Way Is The Only Way.
Gwyneth Paltrow is obsessive about her skincare regime. The Hollywood actress says her number one beauty rule is to look after her skin with regular exfoliation treatments and chemical peels as well as an intensive moisturising routine.
She told Stylist magazine: ”I’ve always been told I have good skin so I try and look after it as much as possible. I usually deep cleanse and exfoliate my skin four times a week. I get a gentle peel from my facialist that takes away all the dead cells on the surface, and then I focus on moisturisation.”
The 40-year-old blonde also shared her secret for achieving her enviable dewy complexion and said using olive oil helps keep her skin glowing.
Gwyneth said: ”When I’m flying a lot, I have to make extra effort with my skin, even if it’s just using a quick hot cloth wash and applying organic oils. Anything will do – one time, I even applied olive oil.”
The mother-of-two believes exercise is a key factor when it comes to skincare and says the natural high keeps her looking young and relaxed.
She added: ”I work out a lot and that’s helped me to maintain a more youthful face because when you do a lot of cardiovascular exercise, it boosts your blood flow. I believe exercise is an essential part of your beauty regime and it’s also a great stress reliever. It’s very important to battle stress as, in the end, it really shows on your face. A hot bath with Epsom salts at the end of the day helps you to unwind.”
[From Contact Music]
My skin has been looking better since I started working out regularly, so she has a point with that one. But I?ll admit, I kind of zoned out as soon as she mentioned her ?facialist?. You know what Gwyneth has started to remind me of? Eddy from Absolutely Fabulous. Like, she incapable of functioning like a regular person. And I?m Saffy, saying things like, ?Just wash your face with soap and get a good night?s sleep? and Eddy/Goop is all ?SOAP? Did you say SOAP, darling? ‘Soap’?! What are we, peasants? We need to wash our faces with something called ‘soap’?!?

I think it was last week when CB emailed me in a rage about Gwyneth Paltrow?s Goop Store attached to Gwyneth?s Goop self-help site. I stopped paying attention to the Goop Store a few months ago because there is seriously a limit to how many Goop-induced rage-strokes I can have. I previously covered some of the early, ridiculous and overpriced items Goop was shilling: a $90 white t-shirt, $515 sweaters, a $270 acrylic (!!) tray, and $52 wrapping paper (for four rolls). Gwyneth has added a lot of new stuff to The Goop Collection ? go here to see. Three bottles of nail polish for $40, an ?amethyst peasant dress? for PEASANTS priced at $695, a throw blanket for $900. And now there?s something very new and special to the Goop collection! This week?s Goop-letter is devoted to her new cookbook, It?s All Good. Gwyneth writes:
After a couple of years of happy hard work, I am totally over the moon to present It’s All Good, a big collection of delicious, easy recipes I did with my pal Julia Turshen. The recipes contained within its pages are just right for the way we are meant to be eating these days – cleaner and healthier, without sacrificing any flavor or satisfaction. From salmon burgers to fish fingers to chocolate cake without any of the bad stuff, ladies and gentlemen- it’s all good.
[From Goop]
But that?s not all! Gwyneth teases her book by detailing some of gluten-free recipes and all of that. She was also offering a ?special? copy of her book for $55. On Amazon, the book goes for $17.39 (with free shipping if you order something else than knocks your total purchases up to $25). So why the discrepancy in prices? Because Gwyneth the Magnificent has deigned to ?sign? a limited number of copies. Her autograph is apparently worth $37.61?? In any case, shortly after Gwyneth released her Goop-letter yesterday, the ?limited edition signed copies? sold out. Gwyneth needs to sign more!
But that?s not the only Goop-tastic goodness she?s giving the peasants. Gwyneth also got to sit down and interview the most interesting person she?s ever met in her life, Gwyenth herself. There?s a Q&A section of her Goop-letter, and there?s no specification as to WHO is asking the questions, so it?s just like Gwyneth is talking to herself and praising herself!
Q: The photos are stunning, and more than just recipes, they emanate this clean and healthy (yet intensely interested in beauty and taste) lifestyle. Has this book of recipes that both taste good and make you feel good affected the way you approach cooking and ingredients?
A: My philosophy is: eat good, fresh food that is totally delicious. It has to taste great and be fulfilling to all of the senses. We know so much now about how inextricably linked our food is to our overall health. The bottom line is, our bodies have a hard time with anything processed. That doesn’t only mean kool-aid and goldfish. White flour, white rice and soy milk are all heavily processed as well. I know from my own research that the more whole the diet, the better I feel. I wanted to do this book so I would have a mini encyclopedia of truly delicious recipes that were healthful and nourishing, and above all easy (I am an insanely busy working mother!).
Q: Wanting to spend more time with family rather than in the kitchen is sometimes stated as a reason people don’t cook as often as they like. Your kids are prominent in this book ? it’s clear that cooking for you is a family affair. How has it happened this way?
A: I?ve included my kids in the kitchen from almost the time they were born. They were always strapped to my back when I was cooking or nearby in a highchair watching and banging spoons. From very early on, I encouraged them to participate and let them do ‘dangerous’ tasks such as cracking an egg or stirring something carefully over heat, and they always felt proud. Later we started doing math with measuring cups and ounces. I was always looking for ways to show the kitchen as a place to acquire vast practical knowledge. My son, in particular, is extremely into it.
Q: Your kids are such good eaters and seem to like all the right foods ? in a world where kids menus and snacks are dominated by high sugars and fats, how can we steer our kids in the right direction?
A: I tried to start them off with all of the right foods but as they got older, the lure of Oreos and cotton candy outweighed the lure of carrots with hummus. And that?s all a part of childhood and I love Oreos too, so I completely understand. I try to make sure that what is on their plate at home is nutritious and tasty and then I loosen way up on the reigns when we are out. They love a brown rice stir-fry but they also love their ‘Coke of the week’. My daughter gravitates toward fresh fruit and raw nuts but will inhale a bag of hot Cheetos at the airport. It’s all about balance.
Q: Even the most avid of home cooks can get stuck in food ruts, making the same recipes over and over (guilty). The recipes in It’s All Good are fresh and exciting while still being very much you. How do you continue to innovate in this way while maintaining your culinary identity?
A: My food comes from me and so it is true to me. I just know what I want to eat. And if I want something, or my family wants something, and it’s on the restricted food or allergy list, I love to find my way around the obstacle. I’m all about finding my way around an obstacle.
[From Goop]
First of all, I?m glad that Gwyneth is talking about how she occasionally deigns to allow her kids to eat junk food. It?s good to know Apple and Moses are at least vaguely familiar with soda and Cheetos, just because? (even though I?m not a mom) that?s part of childhood too. Second of all, Gwyneth measures things in ounces?!? How is she not using the metric system? HOW PEASANTY.
Incidentally, Star Magazine has a bitchy story about Chris Martin being really pissed off at Gwyneth for talking about her miscarriage. A source claims, ?Chris has always been a private person and her TMI behavior really bothers him? he?s uncomfortable that everybody knows so many private details about his family.? Ugh. You married her, dude.

I remember when Gwyneth Paltrow?s hair was a pop culture conversation point. It was back in the mid-1990s, otherwise known as Gwyneth?s hey-day, otherwise known as ?Gwyneth?s frame of reference for everything.? There are parts of Gwyneth that remind me of Jennifer Aniston, and I?m not even talking about Brad Pitt ? both Jennifer and Goop became very popular household names and reached the peak of their celebrity in the 1990s, and for the most part, both women have been riding on that ?90s success for the past decade. Some say ?riding?. Some say plateauing. Some say stagnating.
Where was I? Ah, yes, Goop?s hair. Goop?s hair was never some HUGE deal like Jennifer Aniston?s hair, but Gwyneth?s various cuts and dye jobs made the news often enough back in the day. And most of those ?90s styles have lived on with Gwyneth ? she still flat-irons her hair for public appearances, she still favors an unflattering center-part, she still insists on a too-harsh straw shade of blonde. So would you want your hair to look like Gwyneth?s? I would not. Never. But Gwyneth is Gwyneth and of course she?s better than us (in her mind) and so her latest project is to open up a ?blow out bar? in LA. It?s just what you think:
Is the Blow-Dry bar the new celebrity fragrance? It would seem so. Shortly after Rachel Zoe and business partner Robin Moraetes opened Dream Dry in NYC, we caught wind that Gwyneth Paltrow and Tracy Anderson were headed down that same perfect hair path, teaming up with David Babaii to open up a gorgeous blow dry bar within Tracy’s new Brentwood studio.
“We are so excited to have partnered with David Babaii on the blow dry bar that we’ll be offering to members of our flagship studio located in Brentwood, CA,” Tracy Anderson tells Cosmopolitan.com. “As our members transform themselves into the women and men they want to be [in the studio], the David Babaii team will design a hairstyle customized for their face shape and lifestyle, as well as a product regime of what to use to keep them looking their best while [they're] on the go.”
Prices are yet to be decided for each hairstyle, but we can assure you there will be a ton to choose from between sleek and wave-based blow-drys to more elaborate braids and updos.
So here’s the deal: The blow dry bar opens April 4, along with the Tracy Anderson Studio’s opening, and right now memberships are limited and filling up. So, if you live in the area and are interested, email info@tracyandersonmethod.com for rates and availabilities.
[From Cosmopolitan]
What?s the difference between a blow dry bar and a regular hair salon? I guess a blow dry bar is more about styling your existing as-is hair and a salon will actually cut and dye and highlight and perm and such? But, again, I have to ask ? if Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow are the ?faces? of this venture, how many people are going to be like, ?Yes! The women with the straw hair and the flat-iron! They should do my hair!?
And you know what always bugs me about Goop?s hair? If she would just let it be more natural, she would look so much younger and softer. Her natural hair is darker, with a natural wave, and without a center part. If she did her hair like that, maybe I would be into it!

Spring is here so Gwyneth Paltrow took the time to update her GOOP website with a list of wardrobe essentials for the average woman. As long as these average women have $1M in disposable income.
Adding up all of Paltrow’s recommendations brings the total to $485,003. This includes an $855 McQ Alexander McQueen butterfly skirt, “Perfect for work, team an eye-catching and colorful skirt with your workwear basics,” a $225 iPad sleeve and a braided 18-karat gold-plated cuff for $465.
For a more casual look, Paltrow recommends a $425 plain white leather Thteyskens’ Theory tank top or a $865 Stella McCartney white jersey top.
Then there’s the $1,615 Temperley London satin-and-tulle maxi skirt if you’re feeling extra spendy.
I’m not a woman but if I was, my first and only reaction when reading this would be, “Oh, that looks kind of cu… [sees price] Aww, hell no!”
Gwyneth Paltrow is soprivilegedthat if you offered her anything less than 300 thread count toilet paper, she’d stab you.

Another day, another ?OMG is Gwyneth Paltrow insane?? story. Fortunately, this story is not about Gwyneth?s latest diet/cleanse or how she ?almost died? when she chanced upon a peasant wearing polyester. Incidentally, you know that the next month is going to be full-on Gwyneth, right? She?s going to be promoting her book (it comes out April 2) and if her book tour is anything like last time, we will have wall-to-wall coverage of Gwyneth interacting with commoners at ?Peasant Book Signings? and tons of new interviews in which Gwyneth deigns to describe how her deathly vitamin deficiencies are so very elite.
Today?s Goop story is literally (literally!!!) about Goop, meaning her latest Goop-letter which is her annual ?Spring Edit? (that?s literally what she calls it). It?s a yearly event in which Gwyneth spends an inordinate amount of time putting together a massive list of ?must-haves? for the new season. Not only does Gwyneth deign to cull a list of fancy designer clothes that peasants MUST OWN, but Goop actually models many of the looks, showing all of us how we?re supposed to look in these pieces if only we weren?t so fat and full of vitamins.
You can see Goop?s full ?Spring Edit? Goop-letter here ? she recommends pieces like ?a $425 white leather crop-top from Theyksens’ Theory, shiny orange Maiyet shorts for $475, a $925 leopard print Charlotte Olympia clutch, Jimmy Choo heels for $575, a $795 Swarovski crystal necklace and a $1,590 bangle bracelet from Saint Laurent.” If you want to look and dress like Gwyneth ? just for a season!!! ? then it will cost you $458,003. That?s how much all of this crap costs. And you know what? I?ll say it ? some of this shiz looks like it comes from Walmart.

Over the weekend, I wrote up a preview of Gwyneth Paltrow?s April Self Magazine interview. I hoped to have more excerpts to discuss, and bless them, they were finally released. The most startling thing about these excerpts is that Gwyneth deigns to admit that her crazy ?no dairy, no eggs, no sugar, no gluten, no carbs, no potatoes, no tomatoes, no red meat, no corn, no wheat? diet is actually just something she does for three weeks at a time a few times a year. She?s not currently on this crazy diet right now ? this ?diet? is her new version of a detox. And she?s still insisting that a doctor recommended it to her! That?s still the craziest thing to me ? I feel very strongly that Gwyneth goes doctor-shopping and nutritionist-shopping until she finds someone who will tell her to it?s okay to eat nothing at all, she can just drink wine and smoke and as long as she LOOKS skinny, she?s ?healthy?. Because that is seriously the way she thinks. Anyway, some highlights from the interview:
Why Gwyneth changed her diet: ?A couple of years ago, I got really run down. I had to sing at awards shows, which was fun but stressful. I’d have a Guinness and a beta-blocker every time. I also was constantly getting on airplanes, trying to knock myself out with sleeping pills and wine, waking up, trying to sweat it out with exercise and a steam, and then working really hard all day. Eventually, I had a panic attack. My body was like, ?What is happening?? My doctor, Alejandro Junger, recommended that I cut out basically everything: dairy, sugar, gluten, anything processed. I was like, “What the f— am I going to eat now?” That’s why I made the book: to stop eating brown rice out of the fridge because I didn’t know what else to eat–it was demoralizing.?
When she adheres to the diet: ?I probably eat this way two or three times a year for three weeks at a time. Past that, I’m not willing to make the sacrifice. Life is about balance. It’s good to work in healthy food, whether it’s five days a week or five meals a week. And if you’re going to do it, it should be awesome food you’re psyched to make. But never cut out the brownies or the wine.?
How she feels on the diet: ?You feel lighter and your emotions get smoother. I also was run-down because I had a lot of unexpressed anger. I made everyone else’s feelings more important than my own. I’d suck it up and then be alone in my car yelling at traffic or fighting with hangers in my closet when they got stuck together. You’re not learning anything unless you’re having the difficult conversations. Dealing with things directly changed my relationships. Sometimes when you get clear about who you are, others get less comfortable because they liked who you were. It’s changed my marriage [to Chris Martin, 36], too, but he’s up for the challenge.?
Her biggest stress: ?When I’m supposed to be in two places at once. I try to avoid finding myself in that scenario.?
Blowing off steam: ?I watch Homeland or New Girl. I also like to have martinis with my girlfriends. I feel a sisterhood emerging around me. I’m less threatening now that I’m 40 and not 26-with-an-Oscar. There’s a sense of love and support. I feel really lucky.?
She calls girlfriends for advice: ?Always. “I have a guy coming for dinner. What should I make?” or “My mother really upset me. How should I approach it?” They know I’ve been through a lot of pain and suffering?some public, some private?and I keep going. Or maybe it’s just that I was the first one who could afford therapy!
Turning 40: ?[My 30s] were happy. I came into my womanhood, had my kids. My 20s were a lot of work, and I had no big-picture sense of who I was, where I was going or the point of it all.?
The point of it all: ?Finding your truth. Be honest about what you feel and don’t be afraid to articulate it. “To thine own self be true.” It’s not a platitude. It’s the key to life.
[From Self]
God, she?s insufferable. ?I also was run-down because I had a lot of unexpressed anger. I made everyone else’s feelings more important than my own.? Goop, please. No one believes that. No one who utters the words ?I’m less threatening now that I’m 40 and not 26-with-an-Oscar? has a compulsive need to take care of other people.
Does anyone else find it bizarre that we?re getting so many different stories and rationales for why Gwyneth went on this radical diet? She claimed that she thought she was having a stroke, she claimed, she claimed she had all of these significant health problems, and now she?s claiming that she was just rundown from working SO MUCH (because she “had to” – like she had no choice in the matter?)! I guess it could be a combination of all of those things. Or it could be that Gwyneth was just looking for a new angle for her second cookbook and she?s struggling to create an appropriate backstory. Whatever is going on, I think it?s wildly irresponsible that we?re only hearing NOW that her ridiculous diet is something she only adheres to a few weeks at a time every four months.
