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.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a narcissist and an elitist. What I?ve learned through watching Gwyneth?s Goop empire grow is that Gwyneth is also just a regular old stunt-queening famewhore too. If anything, she?s sort of worse than the Kardashian-esque Instagram influencers sure, those people shill ?waist trainers,? laxatives and diet teas. But Gwyneth has built a whole-ass empire on fake science, ?wellness,? and headline-grabbing stunt-queening. All of that is made worse by two facts: Gwyneth is smart enough to know better AND Gwyneth lives inside her own ass and is humorless about her own bullsh-t. Behold, a new Gwyneth interview where she describes HERSELF as someone with an ?irreverent sense of humor.? Girl? stop.
She?s not a dumb stunt-queen, she?s just very beautiful & irreverent: ?Well, the people who know me well know that my irreverent sense of humour is very much at the core of who I am. Sometimes, I think people are surprised by that, because I look a certain way, or whatever assumptions they make about me. Humour has always been a part of the Goop brand and marketing. Weve always had pithy, funny subject lines. Weve always wanted to name our products things that were funny and appealing and also said really clearly what they did.
Whether the vagina-candle & other things were stunts: We were not trying to create some kind of a publicity stunt whatsoever, but we did see that it drove a lot of interest and traffic to the site. Not that we do stunts all the time, but we do know the power of a good joke or a racy product name.
She wants to get into the CBD space: I would love to get into the CBD space, I think that there are some really interesting studies around CBD and the efficiency of it, especially theres a little bit of THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the high sensation.) but I think were a way away from that. The regulation is really difficult.
[From The Daily Mail]
It?s funny that she?s a bit reticent about getting into the CBD market because of all of the regulations. That?s why she sticks with the fake science, the stickers which heal cancer, the jade eggs for your bajingo and the non-stop ?cleanses.? It?s because those markets are not as closely regulated. As for Gwyneth?s stunts and her ?irreverent sense of humor? it reminds me of when Rooney Mara went around saying that she?s ?aloof.? Is Gwyneth ?irreverent? or is she just the woman who was cool in high school but is now the 40-something who makes fun of overweight people and still says sh-t like ?you hate me because I?m so pretty!?

Last year, Gwyneth Paltrow became the goopy face of Xeomin, an ?anti-wrinkle? injectable which works a lot like Botox, but from what I understand, is slightly different than Restylane. Restylane seems to make women that ?puffy? and ?filler? look, where Botox makes women just look frozen. Judging from Gwyneth?s current face, Xeomin has found a way to decrease the puffiness and the frozen-ness. Gwyneth still looks a bit different and she definitely looks slightly altered, but all in all, it?s good injectable work from where I sit. Gwyneth recently spoke to Harper?s Bazaar about her Xeomin contract, and this is just a piece of spon-con, but it?s interesting to hear Gwyneth talk openly about this stuff, especially considering that so few of her peers do talk about it.
Why celebrity women don?t want to talk about their injectables: ?A lot of successful women in Hollywood are motivated early on by not being good enough, and so we?re trying to prove something to ourselves. By getting injectables, it?s like admitting a vulnerability. I think sometimes honesty is perceived to be a weaknessThere does seem to be a lot of stigma around injections.
Xeomin is an FDA-approved anti-wrinkle injection for frown lines between the eyebrows: For Paltrow, a ?teeny drop? of the stuff makes her ?look less pissed off.?
This isn?t her first time using injectables. ?I had a midlife crisis when I turned 40, and I went to go see this doctor. It was a disaster. I didn?t do anything else for a long, long time. I was bruised, my forehead was completely frozen, and I didn?t look like myself at all, Paltrow admits. She says the switch to Xeomin?and a new doctor?are responsible for her more natural look these days.
She?s fine with talking about it: ?I think it?s nice when women share, because there?s a lot of shame around surgery or injectables or fillers, and it would be nice if people felt confident about the choices they were making. But if they want to have a beauty secret, that?s okay, too. Im an open book?Ive shared what works for me, because thats how Ive always learned.
Gen Z is partly to thank for the evolving conversations on beauty & alterations: ?The younger generation is embracing and deifying women like Jane Fonda and Frances McDormand. They just love cool women, whether they?re older or different to them. They?re so much less judgmental about other women of all shapes and sizes. I observe that with my daughter. They look at the whole woman, instead of some super-airbrushed, FaceTuned Instagram photo. I like the trend I?m seeing.?
[From Harper?s Bazaar]
From where I sit, the Millennials went too far in embracing the Facetuning/air-brushing cartoon-character beauty. As someone slightly older than Millennial, it was disturbing to see how rapidly the culture went from anti-beauty/grunge in the ?90s to infantilized girl-women in the early ?00s to the ?no imperfections, every woman must be hairless, wear a mound of makeup and airbrush all of her selfies? with the rise of social media. In my heart, I?ll always be the grunge girl who eschews all of that, but that being said, I still love a good night cream and I am increasingly spending more and more on my under-eye cream. I don?t know what point I?m making, I guess that it?s not purely a generational thing and every generation embraces different beauty icons and sometimes those icons are wildly different.
As for the injectables helping her look LESS pissed off? what she?s saying is that she has Resting Bitchface and she gets injectables because she doesn?t want the peasants to know how dismissive she is of them.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been going through a phase over the past few weeks where she?s doing the most to take credit for getting Covid-19 before it was ?cool? and for being a mask-wearer before anyone else, if you don?t count half of Asia. Gwyneth has also talked a lot about the coronavirus in the context of her Goop pseudoscience, much to the consternation of actual public health officials. For years now, we?ve known about Gwyneth?s over-reliance on shamans, healers and non-medical doctors for all of her wellness and diet advice. So obviously, Gwyenth has so many stories about how Covid affected that which is most precious to her: her weight, and which starvation diet she pursued.
Gwyneth Paltrow knows the struggle of COVID-19 quarantine weight gain. While speaking with Dr. Will Cole on his Dear Media podcast, The Art of Being Well, the Goop founder, 48, revealed that she recently started struggling with her metabolism and subsequent weight gain.
Ive noticed over the last couple of years my metabolism has slowed down. I know a lot of that is perimenopause, she explained. Im 48 years old and I know that women tend to lose up to 30% of their metabolic speed once we enter this phase of life ? so I know some of it is that. I think maybe some of it is because I got COVID and my physician in New York said that was affecting a lot of his patients metabolisms as well, Paltrow added. (She recently revealed that she had tested positive for COVID-19 early on last year.)
Paltrow said her ability to snap back into shape has waned. I could quickly eat really well for a couple of days and exercise a lot and [the weight] would all be gone. And that was not happening over the past year, she said. Paltrow decided to turn to her favorite bone broth diet, as well as Dr. Coles Ketotarion diet and intermittent fasting. The combination of all three has already helped her lose weight.
This has been incredible. Ive lost 11 lbs. since I started I gained a lot of weight over COVID, she said. During the podcast, she also said that after only one week of her new diet plan, she already feels amazing.
[From People]
Instead of being grateful to survive a deadly pandemic, Gwyneth is bitching about gaining weight. Instead of keeping everything in context of the losses we?ve suffered more than 500,000 Americans dead in the past year from Covid Gwyneth just yammers about her latest diet cure. And honestly, that?s all this ever was for Gwyneth. Everything about Goop and Gwyneth?s ?wellness? branding is just? repackaged Diet Culture and the normalization and monetization of disordered eating. I mean, I?ve gained weight over the past year too and I hate it, but we?ve literally survived a deadly pandemic. Every one of us knows someone who has died from this virus, and the thing that we?re not talking about enough is the collective grief and psychological trauma of the past year. But no, that?s not the kind of wellness Gwyneth wants to talk about.

Since Gwyneth Paltrow generally believes that she alone discovered-and-invented everything Asian, it?s little surprise that Gwyneth has recently revealed that she also invented mask-wearing AND Covid-19. She was catching Covid before everyone else, and she caught the virus even though she invented mask-wearing in February 2020. Gwyneth recently described her long-running symptoms from Covid, and she said that even a year later, she still has ?fatigue? and ?brain fog,? which she?s curing with a strict Keto diet mixed with fasting and infrared saunas, of course. Her comments got so much play that now an NHS chief has publicly taken Gwyneth to task for her near-constant promotion of pseudoscience.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been urged to stop spreading misinformation by the medical director of NHS England after she suggested long Covid could be treated with ?intuitive fasting?, herbal cocktails and regular visits to an ?infrared sauna?. The Hollywood star, who markets unproven new age potions on her Goop website, wrote on her latest blogpost that she caught Covid-19 early and had since suffered ?long-tail fatigue and brain fog?.
Paltrow said that after turning to the advice of a ?functional medicine practitioner?, she was told ?this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual?. She then embarked on a ?keto and plant-based? diet, involving fasting until 11am every day, ?lots of coconut aminos? and sugar-free kombucha and kimchi. Paltrow went on to recommend her brand?s Madame Ovary supplement and Seedlip, ?the incredible herbal nonalcoholic cocktails?. She added: ?I?m doing an infrared sauna as often as I can, all in service of healing.?
Paltrow also suggested there was evidence for the efficacy of such a diet. ?I?ve been doing major research and finding some great stuff to support what I?m doing,? she wrote.
However, her unproven advice prompted a stern rebuke from Prof Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, who urged influencers such as Paltrow against spreading misinformation. He said: ?In the last few days I see Gwyneth Paltrow is unfortunately suffering from the effects of Covid. We wish her well, but some of the solutions she?s recommending are really not the solutions we?d recommend in the NHS.?
Powis added: ?We need to take long Covid seriously and apply serious science. All influencers who use social media have a duty of responsibility and a duty of care around that. Like the virus, misinformation carries across borders and it mutates and it evolves. So I think YouTube and other social media platforms have a real responsibility and opportunity here.?
[From The Guardian]
I mean? at this point can we just talk about Gwyneth as a complete loser? Yes, she?s rich, and yes, she peddling really dangerous pseudoscience, but mostly I just think we need to reimagine how we speak and write about Gwyneth. She sucks and she?s a loser. She?s stuck up her own ass, she has a dangerous ideology (based on an insane Diet Culture) and she says and does ?outrageous? sh-t to get attention. She?s really not all that different from some lower-tier Real Housewife. Anyway, yes, when I covered Gwyneth?s original comments, I noted how Gwyneth?s answer to every medical issue is ?go on a diet.? It makes perfect sense that her answer to inventing Covid is some kind of pseudoscientific argument for starving yourself.
