Gwyneth Paltrow must think that she’s the ultimate Renaissance Woman or something. Never mind that she just admitted that trying to do more than one thing at a time totally stresses her out, for Goop has decided that she’s much more than merely a mother, actress, model, blogger, singer, gym owner, a cookbook writer (who uses a ghostwriter, natch), and all around amazing person with an amazing work ethic.
Now Gwyneth has decided that she must be everything to everybody (you know how she lives to serve her peasants), so she’s seriously considering opening her own restaurant because, you know, there are no decent places to grab a meal in Los Angeles, right? Guess who’s helping Goop deal with the finer details of how to operate a restaurant? That’s right, her dear friend Mario Batali. Here’s the story from this week’s Star:
Gwyneth Patlrow is planning to open a world-class restaurant in Los Angeles. An insider tells Star, “She’s talking with her good friend, chef Mario Batali, about opening a place that specializes in Spanish cuisine. She wants to have a place where she can entertain her L.A. friends.”
While Gwyn, 39, is a well-known foodie and a fan of entertaining, it was Mario, 51, who pushed her to pursue her culinary dreams. “He gave her the confidence to take it to the next level and start thinking of concepts and locations. It will be a huge ego boost for her to be a restaurant owner.”
Phew — without this eatery, all she’d have is millions of dollars, a killer body and a rock-star husband.
Oh the humanity!
[From Star, print edition, September 3, 2012]
Can you imagine dining in a restaurant owned by the Goop? First off, a simple starter soup will probably cost $39 because it will be based upon only the finest tears from Spanish orphans. And if a fat person ever enters the building, Gwyneth will likely tell them they shouldn’t eat anything. Hell, she’d probably have a weigh-in at the door, and then when people are done eating, the very special Goop cleanse will be part of the dessert menu. How splendid!

I don’t know about you, but as a 37-year-old woman, I’ve grown rather tired of people asking me whether I ever plan on having another child besides the 11-year-old daughter who already exists and occupies what feels like most of my time on a daily basis. Don’t get me wrong — I love the hell out of my kid, but I don’t think I could ever go there again, especially since she’s getting up there in age, you know? So it comes as a great surprise that I actually have something in common with Gwyneth Paltrow (besides our mutual love of woodburning pizza ovens and quarterly colon cleanses, natch). Goopy (who is 39 these days) doesn’t want to have any more kids either.
Of course, Goop is already mother to two children, Apple (8) and Moses (6), but she’s so busy these days Gooping it up; that is, running her “lifestyle company curated by Gwyneth Paltrow.” This week, she’s selling a set of 4 Turkish towels for $240! This is not to mention the $425 colon cleanse, $270 acrylic tray, and $90 t-shirt for her fawning peasants, right? Plus she’s busy launching her pub-singing career while somehow managing to still land herself in those Iron Man movies (she’s currently filming part three). But seriously, I get it in regard to wanting to reclaim one’s life instead of going through the nursing and diaper routine for months, possibly years. Here are some excerpts of Goopy wisdom:
On having more children: “I don’t know if I can go back to diapers. I don’t think so. I would love to, but I sort of feel like I don’t know if I can go back to diapers and things like that. I’m so past that, I think I may have missed the window. I think if maybe when Moses was three, I would have done it, or four even, but now he’s six and such a guy, I feel like I’m out of the baby phase. If it happens, it happens.”
Becoming a mom completed her: “I feel like motherhood has given me all my happiness and a real life: a husband, my children and everything that?s invested in that. Every woman is different, but for me that?s where I?ve gotten my real happiness.”
But she’s a less attentive mother in Los Angeles: “When I’m in LA, I’m always packing things in. I tend to be really busy – my doctors are out there, Apple’s orthodontist, that kind of thing. Plus, that?s where I focus on movie stuff and I see all my friends. It changes more – I tend not to spend all my time with the kids.”
She’s so stressed out and busy now: “I find that I get stressed out when I try to do too many things at once, and so I try not to. I feel very stressed out if I’m trying to cook and help the children with their homework and answer emails and talk to my lawyer or whatever. I feel really overwhelmed. So I try to just do things one at a time.”
She doesn’t mind aging — for now: “I like being older. It?s nice to really know yourself and feel relaxed. And I actually think I look better now than I did when I was 24, so I’m very comfortable with myself.”
[From Daily Mail]
So Goop thinks she looks better now than she does when she filmed Sliding Doors and A Perfect Murder? I guess it’s great that she’s happy with the way she looks, but it seems to be such a self-punishing lifestyle that she leads, what with the fasting and constant flat-ironing of one’s hair. Gwyneth is so stringent.
Now back to the whole “done with diapers” notion. At least Apple and Moses won’t have a companion to share in their humiliation of rediscovering Mommy’s sideboob one day on the internet, right? Small mercies.

Closing out the weekend with a special press function for his new film, Jake Gyllenhaal took over the spotlight at a private screening of "'End of Watch" in East Hampton, New York on Sunday (August 19).
The handsome 31-year-old actor suited up as he was joined by actress Gwyneth Paltrow for the Goose Creek held event sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter and Samsung Galaxy SIII .
As for Jake's upcoming motion picture, an official synopsis describes it as "a powerful story of family, friendship, love, honor and courage." The writeup adds, "?End of Watch? stars Gyllenhaal and Pea as young Los Angeles police officers Taylor and Zavala as they patrol the city?s meanest streets of south central Los Angeles. Giving the story a gripping, first-person immediacy, the action unfolds entirely through footage from the handheld HD cameras of the police officers, gang members, surveillance cameras, and citizens caught in the line of fire to create a riveting portrait of the city's most dangerous corners, the cops who risk their lives there every day, and the price they and their families are forced to pay.?
The forthcoming flick is due to hit theaters on September 28th and also stars Michael Pena, Anna Kendrick, Frank Gillo and America Ferrera.

Oh, Gwyneth. She?s gives us so much pain, so much joy, so much laughter and so many tears. After taking a ?Goop holiday? (Goopiday?) for three-and-a-half months, Gwyneth?s little Goop blog is back. The Goop site got a complete redesign (which isn?t all that user-friendly, honestly), and Gwyneth is now offering a ?Goop Collection? which consists of a pair of $200 jeans, a $90 white t-shirt, and a new addition: bikinis. All of which are offered in no size larger than 8. Anyway, this week?s Goop-letter ? her first since the first week of April ? is all about ?travel?. Here?s what Goop has to say:
A little trip away in the summer is exciting and rejuvenating, especially if you can’t take all of August off like the Italians/French do. Always looking for a new idea or two, we asked some cool travel experts to point us in the right direction.
Love,

Is it just me or is that carefully worded? ?A little trip away in the summer is exciting and rejuvenating, especially if you can’t take all of August off like the Italians/French do.? Gwyneth usually takes August off, like an Italian or a Frenchwoman too. I get the feeling Goop is not in her wheelhouse with this one, this whole idea of a ?short vacation? or a ?little trip? ? it?s such a peasanty-y concept, don?t you know? The elites get to take vacations for the whole summer. Anyway, the rest of the Goop-letter just reads like a travel brochure, as Gwyneth offers suggestions and advice for where peasants should go for their ?little trips?.
In other Gwyneth news, she?s in talks to take another lead role in a film. Because Hollywood doesn?t understand that America is no longer interested in seeing Goop carry a film, I guess. But don?t think that Goop will be going old-school and doing some costume drama (how gauche!). No, Goop is in talks to play? a CHEF! She might take the lead in the film adaptation of Gabrielle Hamilton?s 2011 ?foodie memoir? Blood, Bones & Butter. THR says, ?Like Paltrow, Hamilton is something of a jack-of-all-trades. The owner and chef of New York’s Prune restaurant also is a trained writer with an MFA from the University of Michigan. The book chronicles Hamilton?s unconventional background — she is the youngest of five siblings born to a French mother and an artist father who made the sets for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus — as well as her unorthodox trajectory to becoming a chef.? Well, the actual woman sounds very interesting, but I can?t say I?m all that interested in seeing Goop simper and smug her way through a movie about any of this.

I hadn?t visited Gwyneth Paltrow?s GOOP site in more than a month. She?s changed a lot of stuff! I used to try to check in once a week or so, usually to just skim this week?s Goop-letter, but for whatever reason I?ve been avoiding it lately. Oh? I?m looking through the site now? she was on holiday from Goop. For like two whole months!!! She did a Goop-letter on July 1st, but the last Goop-letter before that was dated April 19th! Ah, so that?s why I stopped Gooping. There was nothing to Goop. Because Gwyneth is a terrible blogger. In the hey-day of Goop, she really did strive to put out newsletters every week (with a month holiday in the summer). But this year she?s really fallen behind on her Goop. Is her little novelty project getting boring? She should hire someone to Goop full-time. I think Mindy Kaling would probably want the job ? and Mindy would do a better job of it, truly.
Anyway, we got a tip that Goop is now offering actual GOOP CLOTHES. Like, on Gwyneth?s site, there?s now a new category that?s just for ?The Goop Collection?. The Goop Collection is pretty meager, but you can actually go on Goop and buy it on-site. So, what?s in ?The Goop Collection?? A pair of jeans. And a t-shirt. The cost for the Goop Ensemble? $290 plus shipping and handling. FOR REAL, PEASANTS. For $200-plus you can get your own Goop jeans (see here) ? they?re actually a nice-looking pair of jeans ? AND you get a nice little note from Goop. Seriously. As for the t-shirt, it?s really fug ? go here to see it. It?s a $90 white t-shirt with some ugly black piping on the shoulders and the sides. That?s it. It doesn?t even look flattering ON Goop.
So what does Goop?s $290 outfit say about her? Why haven?t you been paying attention before now? It says ?Gwyneth Paltrow is completely out of touch with the peasantry, but she strives to condescend to them as often as possible.? Basically, same old Goop.
PS? I would actually be interested in a cheaper t-shirt that said ?To Goop Is To Live? or ?GOOP There It Is? or ?Goop: Because You?re Not Worth It.? Or ?I Gooped and All I Got Was This Dumb $90 T-Shirt.?

Introducing her first collaborative clothing item on her website, Gwyneth Paltrow has created a $90 white t-shirt for GOOP which is dubbed ?the perfect t-shirt?.
Only available in the United States, the "Iron Man" actress explained on her website, ?We've collaborated with Kain Label, creators of the perfect tee, to create a version exclusive to goop, inspired by tuxedo tailoring, we added grosgrain piping to the shoulders and sides, and shortened the length, modernizing this essential wardrobe staple.?
The limited edition tee is the first of many items to bear the company name as GOOP confirms each week a new clothing, home accessories or beauty item will be featured as an exclusive limited edition collaboration available.
Through the website, Paltrow offers tips such as where to find expensive one-of-a kind clothing items for children, how to "build the ultimate closet,? as well as advice on how to whip up the perfect Korean dish Bibimbap.
As for why she created the site, the 39-year-old actress told People back in 2009, "I felt like I had a lot of really useful information that I was privileged enough to get, because I have this amazing, super, fortunate life," adding, "My friends call me all the time to say, 'Where should I go?' or 'What should I do?' And I thought, you know maybe some other people would be interested in it as well, so I started it, and it's doing great."

After attending a concert in Paris this weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow took to her Twitter page to show off her fun night, but instead she got a firestorm of negative feedback.
On Friday (June 1), the "Contagion" actress posted a photo of herself on stage with rappers Jay-Zand Kanye West in Paris for their 'Watch the Throne' tour with a caption reading, "Ni**as in paris for real."
Although the 39-year-old's caption was just the title of a song written by the performers, it sparked a racial controversy on whether or not she was using the N-word in a derogatory way.
Following the weekend uproar, Miss Paltrow once again to took to her social media page to defend herself tweeting, "Hold up. It's the title of the song!"
Regardless of the context of her tweet, Jay and Kanye did perform that hit 11 times during their performance.

Gwyneth Paltrow did an event in London two days ago for the Clinton Foundation, and I?m sorry I didn?t get a chance to get to the photos yesterday. There good pics – Gwyneth actually stopped for a moment outside the venue to smile and pose for the waiting paparazzi, which she rarely does. I do like her outfit – white slacks and some kind of intricate, lacy shell. Gwyneth does white and cream a lot, and sometimes the paleness washes her out, but not here. She looks toned and fit and tan.
But really, let?s talk what?s important. HER HAIR. I?ve been on a tear over the past year or so about Gwyneth?s hair. In my defense, Goop is kind of stuck in the 1990s, her hey-day. She still believes her go-to red carpet look should be ?long blonde hair, flat-ironed, with a strict center part.? It no longer suits her face, and I think the style ages her and dates her. Look at how much better and younger she looks with her hair all wavy and fluffy and teased out a bit? Isn?t this such an improvement? She needs to adopt this style more often.
As for the event – President Clinton was there. Don?t worry. Goop is SO not his type. Let?s face it – you could show Bubba a dozen slim, elegant, icy blondes and he?s always going to go for the zaftig, bubbly brunette. I kind of want Bubba to meet Christina Hendricks. RIGHT? That needs to happen. Here?s more about the London event:
It was certainly an eclectic crowd at the Millennium Network Event held held in London last night. Gwyneth Paltrow brought Hollywood glamour to the bash and turned up in an all white outfit and a winning smile. The 39-year-old star donned a bright ensemble held at The Old Vic Tunnels in Waterloo. Gwyneth was seen waving to fans and photographers as she arrived at the event, showing off her trim figure in a white top with embroidery detail and a pair of tuxedo trousers. The mother-of-two had her hair teased into loose beach waves and had heavy eyeliner for the occasion.
Gwyneth was co-host of the event which was attended by Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend Dave Clark, Joan Collins and Lily Cole. The Millennium Network is part of the Clinton Foundation and former President Bill and his daughter Chelsea were there to support the event.
The fundraiser was arranged to help raise funds for the organisation which aims to improve global health, strengthen economies, promote healthier childhoods, and protect the environment. Guests, who paid upwards of 120 a ticket were treated to music, speeches and drinks as well as the chance to mingle with the familiar faces in attendance.
[From The Mail]
So she co-hosted! Good for Goop, deigning to mingle with the charitable peasantry. Oh, but she got to have some face time with Pres. Clinton and Princess Beatrice, I?m sure. I really want this week?s Goop newsletter to be all about Gwyneth finding a way to name-drop ?Mr. William Jefferson Clinton.? Please, like Gwyneth would ever stoop to call him ?Bill?. As if.
UPDATE: Hahaha, funny story – this event that Goop co-hosted is being called the “WORST PARTY EVER”.
Bill Clinton hasn?t had much luck on the party circuit. Another exclusive bash he?d hosted in London recently with tickets costing up to $1,600 was blasted as ?the worst party ever? by guests who lined up for hours to get in. Marie Phillips, author of ?Gods Behaving Badly,? wrote on Twitter, ?WORST. PARTY. EVER. The queue was the highlight.? She described how celebrity guests including Gwyneth Paltrow and Will.i.am were led in while hundreds of others who paid for tickets waited outside near Waterloo Station. She added, ?I haven?t seen so many posh angry people in a line since the shrimp ran out at Kate and Wills? wedding.?

Go ahead and just blame it all on Gwyneth. PEASANT REVOLT!!!

As many of you know by now, I am a big fan of The New Girl. I think it?s the most underappreciated new comedy of the 2011-2012 network season. At first I was right there with the haters, yelling about Zooey Deschanel/Jess?s indie/hipster affectations, but honestly, the show is really, really well-written and funny. One of the best parts of the show is the supporting character of Schmidt, Jess?s anal retentive, metrosexual, douchebag roommate, played brilliantly by Max Greenfield. Unfortunately, I now feel like I have to hate the show in general and Max Greenfield in particular. Why, perchance? Because I just found out that Dame Gwyneth Paltrow LOVES the show and Max Greenfield in particular. DAMN IT, GOOP. Stop ruining everything!!
In her current issue of Goop (the weekly newsletter), Gwyneth talks up the show and then allows Max Greenfield to ?guest edit? Goop for the week. It doesn?t matter that he?s completely charming and funny (he is, by the way). It only matters that I can?t love the same boy as Goop.
This past September, I made a discovery that has made my life a better, happier place: the show New Girl, of course! I fell in TV love with Schmidt, played by Max Greenfield, who’s the kind of guy you lusted after at your cousin’s Bar Mitzvah. I asked him to edit our issue this week. Enjoy. And thank you, Max.
Love,
gp
[Via Goop]
She hands the reins over to Max and he quickly explains his email-relationship with Gwyneth and in the span of several paragraphs, he manages to poke fun at her famous Duck Ragu recipe, the Oprah/Goop-ification of wishy-washy ?happiness? seeking, and of the endless consumerism that Gwyneth shills. It?s kind of brilliant:
I recently connected with Gwyneth Paltrow and explained to her how much I love goop. Being all that Gwyneth is, she has allowed me to write a piece for the site, which you are now hopefully about to read.
-mg
?Zen and the Art of Goop?
Now that that?s out of the way, my name is Max Greenfield. I am an actor living in Los Angeles and currently play the role of ?Schmidt? on Fox?s New Girl. I am husband to an amazing wife and father to an incredible two-year-old daughter. I am thirty-blah-blah-blah-years-old and have achieved the greatest goal one can achieve — I am happy with my life.
How much of my happiness has to do with the fact that I now e-mail with GP? It?s definitely a percentage. Be it a small one, this is my truth and I am okay with it.
The remainder of my happiness is derived from one simple mantra: ?Stop thinking, surrender and goop?. To the extent that I am able to do this, my life is perfect.
Not thinking can be difficult. Surrender even more so. For example, how am I supposed to be ?Ready for Summer? when I was never ?Ready for Spring?? I could sit on the couch in my Rag & Bone high-neck sweater and spin out on this for a full week and by Thursday all I?m thinking is what a disaster fall is going to be!
Then I remember to stop thinking. I remember that today is just today and that is all that it is. I take a deep breath in and I realize that in this moment I am fine and everything is okay. More importantly, I am reminded that my A.P.C. jeans are so perfectly worn in that they are appropriate for any season and I am suddenly at ease. It is at this moment that I have surrendered.
The third part of my mantra, and perhaps the most important, is goop. I use this as an adjective. The trick to goop is that it is not about me. It’s not about my Scrapbook from Marrakesh or my Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Soap and dare I say it’s not even about Gwyneth. It?s about what I can add to the lives of the people around me. Goop is about giving. It’s about bringing people together.
After all, Gwyneth’s recipe for Duck Ragu was never intended for one. But like I said before, this is not a recipe for Duck Ragu.
[Via Goop]
Greenfield then goes on to list his ?Ten Best? things that he?s into currently. One of them is George Clooney?s Lake Como house, which is kind of awesome. The list is very Schmidt-y and it does make me wonder if Max Greenfield is secretly a lot like Schmidt. So? I?m torn. I?m torn between wanting to hate all things Goop and all things that Goop likes, and wanting Max Greenfield/Schmidt to guest edit all Goop newsletters from here on out.
Here are some photos of Goop leaving a Jay-Z/Kanye concert two nights ago.
