Last year, Karen Elson was on the cover of InStyle, and her profile was so good. She spoke about the bitchiness within the modeling industry, and how young models need to feel empowered to talk about finances. Elson also spoke about nepotism in a very real way, saying ?I?m not trying to slight anybody here, but it helped if you came from a certain background. I have a problem with people judging a person because they were just born into a certain thing. They can?t help that. But with the fickleness of fashion, they love when you?re the daughter of someone.? That?s been stuck in my head for months, it?s so succinct: they love when you?re the daughter of someone. I bring up Elson?s words because Gwyneth Paltrow and Hailey Bieber, two nepotism aholes, decided to talk about how hard it is to get so many breaks because of nepotism.
A famous last name will only get you so far, at least according to Gwyneth Paltrow. While paying a visit to Hailey Bieber for an episode of her YouTube series Whos in my Bathroom?, the Oscar winning actress opened up about the concept of nepotism in Hollywood, saying celebrity kids arent as advantaged in the industry as some may think.
As the child of someone, you get access other people dont have, so the playing field is not level in that way, Gwyneth told Hailey on the July 27 episode. However, I really do feel that once your foot is in the door, which you unfairly got in, then you almost have to work twice as hard and be twice as good.
Why, you may ask? As she shared, Because people are ready to pull you down and say You dont belong there or You are only there because of your dad or your mom.
Dishing out advice to the nepo babies out there, Gwyneth said the label shouldnt limit their dreams, adding that nobody in the world, especially anyone who doesnt know you, shouldnt have a negative impact on your path or the decision that you make.
The inspiring message seemed to resonate with Hailey, 25, with the host responding, I need to hear this today.
[From E! News]
?Then you almost have to work twice as hard and be twice as good?? Gwyneth Paltrow: Privilege Is A Prison, I Swear. She?s really trying to make the case that nepo babies have it so hard? That nepo babies are marginalized within Hollywood? LMAO. What?s crazy is that she really believes it. I?m sure there are tons of people who look at nepo babies and say ?you?re only here because of your mom or dad.? They say it because it?s the truth. Gwyneth?s early career was BUILT on the fact that her parents are Bruce Paltrow and Blythe Danner, and that Steven Spielberg is her godfather and a close family friend. Hollywood and Fashion: they love when you?re the daughter of someone.

Do you ?miss? Gwyneth Paltrow as an actress? I don?t. I?ll even say something nice about Gwyneth she made some good movies and gave some good performances and, dare I say, some underrated performances. But I still don?t really miss her as an actress, and I don?t think it?s weird or awful that she?s stepped away from acting for the most part. Even when she was married to Chris Martin, it felt like she was phasing out her acting career, mostly because she wanted to raise her children. That?s what Goop sprang out of too she wasn?t getting scripts, the scripts she did get were bad, and she wanted a little project she could do from home. When Goop kept getting bigger and bigger, Gwyneth walked away from most acting jobs, save the Marvel stuff and The Politician (which her husband produced). The Today Show?s Willie Geist interviewed Gwyneth and he asked her about her acting career.
Gwyneth Paltrow is not longing to jump back into her acting career. I??n an exclusive clip from Paltrows interview on Sunday TODAY with Willie Geist, the Goop CEO, 49, opens up about putting acting on the back burner in favor of becoming an entrepreneur.
I really dont miss it all. I think Im so lucky that I got to do it, and Im sure I still will at some point, she says of her acting career. The team is always trying to get me to do a movie, but I really love what I do and I love how immediate it is and how ? were able to create product out of thin air that we believe in so much.
The Oscar winner says the experience of developing products for her lifestyle brand Goop is so powerful. Paltrow adds that she doesnt daydream about the movie business at all.
However, The Politician alum does plan to return to her acting roots to fulfill a promise to her mother Blythe Danner.
I did promise my mother at some point before I die, I told her I would go and do a play so ? Im gonna deliver on that promise at some point, she says.
[From People]
In another clip, Geist asks Gwyneth what it would take to get her back in front of a camera and she said ?if my husband was doing something and wanted me to do it, I would do it.? Which makes sense. I don?t know? I get why people are ass-kissy about it to Gwyneth?s face and I?m sure she loves that people are like ?oh, we wish you were still acting in movies,? but isn?t the point of all of this that Gwyneth is better than everyone? That she figured it out and had the best of all worlds? She?s an Oscar-winning actress with a good IMDB page, she got to raise her children and she started a successful lifestyle business.

It?s a wonder more big-name fashion houses don?t do runway shows in LA. Whenever a designer/label decides to show in LA like, Tom Ford, or in this case Gucci?s Alessandro Michele there is sooo much interest, and they always get a huge celebrity turnout. Most LA-dwelling celebrities don?t want to make the journey to Paris or Milan for the shows. But they?ll come out for a fashion event if the runway is Hollywood Boulevard. That?s what Gucci did they rented out Hollywood Blvd last night for a star-studded open-air runway show. Serena Williams, Lizzo, James Corden, Anjelica Huston, Vanessa Bryant, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus and Diane Keaton were just some of the celebrities in attendance, and I?m not even going to post their photos!
I just wanted to talk about a handful of celebrities in attendance. Like Gwyneth Paltrow, who has worn Gucci for much of her adult life. I thought Gwyneth was incredibly boring for recycling her Tom Ford-for-Gucci ?90s red suit for this show. But no, she didn?t pull this one of her archives. This was Michele ?reimagining? Gwyneths famous red suit. He reimagined it so hard it looks exactly the same. Here?s the suit in 1996. There?s no difference.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow says she & Brad Falchuk are 'still in the honeymoon phase' | | Added 3 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

On one side, I enjoy the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is in a marriage where she gets what she needs: open adoration and demonstrative love. She didn?t have that for a long time and it drove her crazy. Brad Falchuk worships Gwyneth and she loves every minute of it. On the other side, Brad and Gwyneth are incredibly annoying. Not just the over-the-top Instagram praise (which is so sugary), but the whitewashing of their entire relationship, from homewrecking both of their marriages to the real reason why they didn?t live together for a year after their wedding. With all of that in mind, please enjoy Gwyneth gooping all over Falchuk and how great their marriage is.
The honeymoon phase: I have a little bit of a blessing that were still in the honeymoon phase, the Goop founder, 49, tells PEOPLE in this weeks issue. I am really lucky I married Brad. There is just something about us together. Weve been able to build on all the stuff weve gone through in life and create something really amazing. And Im grateful for our chemistry. That can get you through some tough spots!
Being open with your partner: Its so important to be honest. If youre trying to please somebody or be somebody youre not, youre lying to yourself. There are definitely times in my life when I look back and think, I was not aligned with myself. And therefore I was in a relationship that was not positive for me.
Therapy helps: In part thanks to a lot of therapy, Paltrow, who shares Apple, 17 and Moses, 15 with her ex Chris Martin whom she divorced in 2016, says she was able to recognize unhealthy patterns in her past. We dont like to fail, and we dont like to be vulnerable and we white knuckle through it. We push our inner voice down. But when you start to admit the hard stuff to yourself, theres no way back.
What she does better now: With Falchuk, the key has been being as accountable as possible for the negative ways I was in earlier relationships, says Paltrow. I have worked hard to break old patterns and work on long held intimacy issues in order to make the most out of my marriage. Divorce is never something you hope for or plan, a second marriage can be a beautiful gift.
She doesn?t like to fight: Im not a good fighter. Brad is much better at it than I am. Ill retreat to a defensive place and shut down. Hes amazing because he wont let me out of it. Its about accountability and showing up ? and thats really hard for me to do sometimes.
[From People]
I honestly don?t have a problem with anything she?s saying here. It sounds like she has done the work and really tried to break her own dysfunctional relationship patterns, although one could argue that the whole reason there is a second marriage is because they were both screwing around on their first spouses. That?s an enormous red flag for both of them. But whatever they?re older and wiser now and while many people have self-destructive patterns, I don?t think that will play out in this particular case.

Did Gwyneth Paltrow ever publicly address the Business Insider?s exclusive piece on how Goop is a massively dysfunctional company? Goop has lost 140 staffers since the start of 2019, which is an insane turnover. Goop?s current and former staffers cited burnout, low pay and a toxic work environment. And Gwyneth hasn?t said anything for weeks about it. I think that?s probably her version of crisis management stay silent for a few weeks and then just continue doing what you were already doing, which is shill Goop products. Speaking of, Gwyneth is currently promoting her new Netflix docu-series, Sex, Love & Goop. Real-life couples are basically documented as they go into sex therapy and take classes on how to be better at intimacy and sex. Gwyneth interviews the couples and judges them. To promote the series, Gwyneth talked about her own sex education and how she?s raising her kids:
On the series & her role: The conversations with me are conducted with this amazing therapist named Michaela Baum, and shes someone that Ive worked with and that I have a lot of respect for. I also thought it was really important for me to show up with honesty and vulnerability around these topics. I think thats the point of the show, to show different examples of what honesty and vulnerability can look like. I was happy to do that and share.
Being a Gen Xer with teen children: I try always to be neutral on the topic [of sex]. I think my generation, we got a lot of messages around sex that made us feel bad about it. I try to just be curious, and teenagers are never going to want to talk to their parents about sex, ever. I sort of follow their lead and luckily, in middle school they had a very thorough sex education, so the school handled the kind of birds and the bees parts. Then I am there for any questions, but the questions are pretty minimal.
What advice she will give Moses & Apple: One piece of advice she will pass down to them is to stay really close to your own truth. I think the main thing that nobody ever tells you, is you have to stay really close to your own truth and you have to stay really in integrity with that truth. Because when you are in a relationship and you are not being your full self, you are sublimating things or you are white knuckling through something, and I think it can be pretty damaging to how you feel about yourself. I will always just encourage my children to really listen to themselves, listen to their instincts, listen if something feels right, and to act from that place.
[From Entertainment Tonight]
I always felt like Gen Xers and Xennials actually had an okay sex education? I mean, generationally speaking, we got information from school, our parents, our friends, literature, magazines, everywhere. I don?t even think that those generations were even shamed about it to the extent our parents? generation was. If anything, the people born from 1965-1980 have the strongest memories of the AIDS crisis and safe-sex campaigns and condoms being everywhere. If anything, Paltrow?s generation was warped by information-overload and *everything* being sexualized.
Also: does anyone else think it?s weird that Gwyneth is all about sexual empowerment and then she?s also like ?thank god the schools took care of my kids? sex education??

I won?t lie: I was actually a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow?s acting work at one point, many years ago. She was in some good movies, and she was good in some movies! While it?s not my canonical favorite, I love her version of Emma, which (even by today?s standards) was exceptionally well-cast. I love Sliding Doors. Great Expectations doesn?t really hold up (I rewatched it recently and it was super-annoying). My favorite Paltrow film? Probably The Royal Tenenbaums. It sounds like it?s sort of Gwyneth?s favorite too, although she will only admit that under very narrow and snotty circumstances! As it turns out, Gwyneth has never encouraged her children to watch her movies. So? they haven?t. Not even The Royal Tenenbaums.
Gwyneth Paltrow may be one of Hollywoods most recognizable A-listers, but dont expect her teenage children ? daughter Apple, 17, and son Moses, 15 ? to know any of her movies. During an appearance on the premiere episode of Shop TODAY with Jill Martin? Thursday on the TODAY All Day streaming channel, the Oscar winner and Goop founder, 48, revealed that her kids (whom she shares with ex Chris Martin) havent exactly gone out of their way to see her films.
My kids have never seen me in a movie, Paltrow revealed, adding, I mean, I think my son has seen the Iron Man things, but I dont think my daughter has ever seen me in a movie.
The Politician star added that Apple thinks its weird if Im onscreen.
She says she likes me here, said Paltrow, laughing, as she placed both hands over her heart.
When asked what movies of hers would be her all-time favorite, the Academy award winner candidly shared, I also really hate, hate, hate seeing myself in a movie ever.
However, the actress did explain her answer would have to be her 2001 film, The Royal Tenenbaums, due to the connection it has to her father, Bruce Paltrow (who passed away in 2002). The late director visited the actress on set and made the memories of the movie enjoyable.
I have a memory of my dad visiting, Paltrow said during the reunion, according to USA Today. He came the day that we did a scene where Im getting off the bus and Richies picking me up, and my dad was there. It was a very special day. She added, Its kind of like the only scene that I can watch of myself of my whole career.
[From Today & Yahoo]
That scene is iconic, to be fair. With Margot coming off the bus and Ritchie seeing her for the first time in years. It feels like the kind of movie a teenage girl like Apple would enjoy, even if it does star her mom? I?m looking through Gwyneth?s filmography and truly, there?s not a ton of stuff in there for kids beyond the Marvel movies. It does seem weird that Apple has never, ever sought one out though? I have no idea, maybe Moses and Apple are just completely embarrassed by their mom, no matter what she does.

As many of you know, I?ve been off the hooch for years now. I hated the way alcohol made me feel and I was tired of hangovers and empty calories. In the first months of the pandemic, I did think about alcohol, and there were even a few days where I considered getting some of those takeout cocktails restaurants were offering. But I stopped myself and it?s been months since I seriously considered drinking. I?m proud of myself, but I also acknowledge that this was a hard pandemic, and many people fell off the wagon. Liquor sales skyrocketed for a reason a lot of people were drinking and some people were drinking more than they used to. Gwyneth Paltrow was one of those people. To my knowledge, she?s never been on the wagon, and she?s always enjoyed a glass of wine or a cocktail (she even does Instagram ads for alcohol). But during the pandemic, Goop was drinking every damn day.
Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she ended up indulging in booze and even carbs during the last year, as she quarantined with her family. The actress-turned-entrepreneur dubbed her drink of choice a ?Buster Paltrow,? which she named after her grandfather and contains ?great quinoa whiskey?.
Gwyneth told The Mirror: ?I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails. I mean, who drinks multiple drinks seven nights a week? Like that?s not healthy. I love whiskey and I make this fantastic drink called the Buster Paltrow, which I named after my grandfather who loved whiskey sours. It?s this great quinoa whiskey from this distillery in Tennessee with maple syrup and lemon juice. It?s just heaven. I would have two of those every night of quarantine.?
Gwyneth insisted she was ?not, like, black-out? drunk, but she admitted she still craves a cigarette when drinking. ?I miss it,? she added.
[From HuffPo]
I think two strong whiskey sours every night for a year is probably enough to make her question whether she has a problem. But would someone get blackout drunk from two whiskey sours? It depends on their tolerance, the strength of the ?quinoa whiskey,? and how big those ?drinks? were. Like, was she filling up a Big Gulp cup? Anyway, as I said, people were drinking a lot during the pandemic and it?s okay to give yourself a break about it, but it?s also okay to acknowledge that you or someone else might have a problem. In Gwyneth?s case, it sounds like she caught Covid, recovered slowly, and then spent eight months in a whiskey-and-pasta downward spiral. How gauche.

Given the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow generally annoys the crap out of me, I probably should not admit that I enjoyed the hell out of her new Vogue video. In the video, Gwyneth ?breaks down? thirteen looks from over the years of her fame and stardom. She?s been famous since the mid-?90s, so there are (admittedly) more iconic looks to discuss than even the ones Vogue featured. I was amused by how many ?90s looks were in this video. The thing is, that really was the moment/era where Gwyneth was at her most fashionable and interesting sartorially. She even says near the beginning of the video, ?They say I was, like, a definitive nineties style lady, so? which? at the time I just thought I was wearing, you know, minimalist stuff with brown lip liner and a lot of powder.? Sure, it?s a nasal humble-brag, but she was a ?90s icon.
When she got to her first Vogue cover and a second reference to Brad Pitt I realized that she wasn?t going to give any credit to Carolyn Bessette, who was definitely well known and massively photographed at that same time. Bessette was Gwyneth?s style icon, and the way Gwyneth was styled on the Vogue cover is pure Bessette-street-style.
Of course Gwyneth talks about the famous Pink taffeta Ralph Lauren gown at the Oscars the year she won. I enjoyed the backstory on how the dress was based on a skirt she saw in the RL look-book. What else? all of those years and she rarely strayed from her center part. Ugh.
