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,

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.

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.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow's casual airport look: so much cuter than her red carpet looks' | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

These are some new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at Heathrow Airport yesterday, on route to NYC. Doesn?t she look really, really tiny here? Obviously, Dame Gwyneth would never deign to look horribly fat, but usually she looks more substantial than this. Perhaps she?s trying a very special new cleanse and it?s working. Perhaps it?s just a really good pair of jeans. Perhaps it?s the angle of the camera.
I have to admit – except for the boots, I like this outfit. I?ve begun to like Gwyneth?s casual style a lot more than her red carpet style lately. I know some people are all over Gwyneth?s formal looks, but I feel like she?s been phoning it in for a while. Maybe I just like to see her in candid photos, without her horrendous flat-ironing obsession. Look how cute her hair looks without all of the flat-ironing! Of course, she?s still parting her hair down the middle. Does she know that she looks younger and cuter with a side-part?
We mentioned this in the links last week, but it?s worth discussing again. Gwyneth has just signed on to be the new ?face? of Boss Nuit Pour Femme, a new perfume by Hugo Boss. Which brings me to something I?ve been wondering about lately – is Gwyneth poor? I mean, obviously, she?s not ?poor? like the peasantry. But she?s been signing on to a lot of ad campaigns lately. I?m sure her rationale is ?it takes less time to shoot an ad campaign than film a movie? – like it?s all her choice. But I have to wonder – again – if Gwyneth isn?t getting the scripts she thinks she deserves. She really hasn?t worked that much as an actress in the past five years, which makes me think that she consciously supplements her income by taking these modeling jobs as she waits for better scripts.
When the Hugo Boss announcement was made, Gwyneth told WWD, ?To me, the Boss woman is driven, ambitious, and goes after what she wants, but she balances being strong and very feminine at the same time ? characteristics that I strive towards in my own life.? For goodness sake, Goop. Do you need the money that badly?
Last thing – Rashida Jones tweeted this photo of Gwyneth a few days ago – the assumption is that it might have had something to do with Apple?s eighth birthday, which was Monday. Some kind of Cats-themed face-painting birthday party? Sure. Why not? I?d like to note – look how Gwyneth?s face is perfectly painted. Like, she hired the most A-list children?s face-painted in the whole world.

I promised yesterday that I wouldn’t talk any more about the Met Gala, but then I found these pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow in a bonafide mullet dress with half her tit hanging out, and now here we are, talking about the Met Gala again. Okay, so I lied to you. Big deal. People lie all the time. Like when they told you those pants didn’t make your ass look huge, for instance. Get used to it.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow in Prada at the Met Gala: mullet-y fugness or ice queen beauty? | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Gwyneth Paltrow attended last night?s Met Gala, of course. She comes nearly every year, because it?s like the Mecca of Fashion Girls. Last night?s theme was ?Schiaparelli and Prada ‘Impossible Conversations??. So of course Dame Paltrow wore Prada, instead of her usual ass-kissy Stella McCartney. I actually thought this Prada WAS Stella at first, just because it seems like the cut is off somehow, which seems a hallmark of Stella McCartney?s designs: a bad fit. Anyway, this dress is like the fancier cousin of the mullet dress – it has the soul of a mullet dress, yet I would not really say that it?s a full-on mullet. The color – a pale, icy white-blue-silver (depending on the light) – seems pretty obvious for Goop. She loves her icy, artic colors.
Thoughts on the side-boob? I really do think she had a boob job. Thoughts on the short dress to a gala event? Eh. Gwyneth wasn?t the only girl going with a shorter dress. I think if you?re ever going to wear a full-length gown, it should be to the Met Gala (and the Oscars), but I guess Goop considers herself to be a ?fashion risk taker? and ?rule-breaker?. Plus, she fancies herself ahead of the curve, mullet-wise. Overall, though, I don?t really hate this look on Gwyneth. It?s not groundbreaking, and it?s not surprising. It?s also not bad. The fit could be better, but? I don?t have a hate-on for it.
Goop?s shoes are Prada too, by the way! I really like her shoes, they might be my favorite part. My least favorite part? Her hair. She needs to stop with the center part.

She?s no stranger to high-profile industry shindigs, and Gwyneth Paltrow looked right at home as she arrived at the 2012 Met Gala tonight (May 7) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The ?Sliding Doors? dame worked her red carpet magic in a halter-style silver Prada dress prior to the ?Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations? event.
The annual fete finds actress Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair valongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, while Azealia Banks is lined up to perform.
As for the celebratory occasion, this year's rendition of the Met gala ushers in the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibition exploring "the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras."
The display is described as being "inspired by Miguel Covarrubias's "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair in the 1930s while featuring "orchestrated conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of their most innovative work."

| | Gwyneth Paltrow: 'I never understand why mothers judge other mothers' | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

If I happen to agree with Gwyneth Paltrow on an important topic, can I still find her insufferable? More importantly, can Gwyneth Paltrow, with her history of being insufferable and judgy, really expect me to buy her argument that mothers are simply too judgy of other mothers? This is my dilemma today. Us Weekly has some transcribed excerpts of Gwyneth?s new interview on Lifetime?s new show, The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet. Sidenote: Amanda de Cadenet is an English rock-star-wife and ?personality? – you can read her Wiki here. Anyway, Goop is the first guest on this new show, and they ended up talking about postpartum depression and how judgment-laden mothers are of other mothers. It?s the new ?trend? in parenting: judging other people?s parenting skills, whether it?s breastfeeding or diet or even how you style a child?s hair. Do I hate the ?mothers judging mothers? thing? Yep. Do I think Gwyneth is absolutely full of it because she will judge you and anyone else with one upturned nose? Yep.
Shortly after giving birth to her son Moses in April 2006, Gwyneth Paltrow suffered from postpartum depression.
“I couldn’t connect with my son the way that I had with my daughter [Apple, now 7] and I couldn’t understand why,” she said on Thursday’s premiere episode of Lifetime’s The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet. “I couldn’t connect to anyone. I felt like a zombie. I felt very detached.”
Paltrow, 39, continued: “I just didn’t know what was wrong with me. I couldn’t figure it out. It never occurred to me. My husband [Chris Martin, 35] actually said, ‘Something’s wrong. I think you have postnatal depression.’ I was mortified. ‘No I don’t!’ And then I started researching what it was and the symptoms and I was like, ‘Oh, yes I do.’”
Paltrow isn’t alone. Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox, Bryce Dallas Howard and Amanda Peet are just a handful of celebrities who’ve experienced similar symptoms, and as many as one in five women in the United States will suffer from postpartum depression.
“We think that it makes us bad mothers or we didn’t do it right, but it’s like, we’re all in this together,” Paltrow said. “I never understand why mothers judge other mothers, like, ‘What do you mean you didn’t breastfeed? What do you mean you didn’t do this?’ It’s like, ‘Can’t we all just be on each other’s side?’ It’s so hard anyway. Can’t we all help each other get through it? There’s a shame attached to it because if you say, ‘I had a baby and I couldn’t connect to the baby,’ it’s like, ‘What is wrong with you?’”
Though the Country Strong actress believes “you never totally get rid of it,” being open about her struggle with postpartum depression made it easier to cope.
“That’s why I talk about it, because even the awareness of it started to diminish it,” Paltrow explained. “Because I didn’t feel like I’m dying or I’m crazy — period. It’s like, ‘Oh, this is a thing. This is a real thing and these are the symptoms and I have them all.’”

I?m partly taking Gwyneth as face value – I think she means what she says about not wanting to judge or be judged about mothering choices. She means it in the moment, and that moment is right. But when she returns to her normal Goopy self, she will continue to judge you for feeding your children anything but organic food. She will judge you for not doing three postpartum juice-cleanses. She will judge you for not working out after you had the baby. What Goop is really saying that is that YOU shouldn?t judge HER.

Trying to avoid the cameras, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted out and about in New York City on Wednesday night (April 25).
The ?Iron Man? actress looked chic as she made her way to a friend?s place dressed in a white blazer with a pair of hot, turquoise pumps with a black toe.
In personal news, the 39-year-old actress recently revealed her ever-important beauty secret on how she keeps her skin looking young and flawless.
Miss Paltrow explained in her GOOP newsletter, ?This Works is a British brand that mixes in natural, high-quality ingredients into all of its formulas. Their No Wrinkles Get Started is a little anti-aging starter pack with a super moisturizer and an active anti-wrinkle serum. They also do a lavender infused relaxing bath gel that I love, an excellent oil for dry legs and a super rich moisturizer which I use.''
Gwyn also previously dished, ?For me, sleep is a major thing. I don't always get it, and when I don't, I look like I've been hit by a truck.''

While she usually keeps her family life quite guarded, Gwyneth Paltrow offered a rare glimpse of herself tending to her motherly duties while out shopping with daughter Apple Martin in Los Angeles on Thursday (April 19).
The two lovely ladies swung over to Maxfield to pick up a few items, later emerging from the shop while strolling to their car hand-in-hand.
The sighting comes as Miss Paltrow has been immersing herself back in the spotlight ahead of the May 4th release of her new movie "The Avengers".
In the star-studded film, the 39-year-old plays Pepper Potts, who's the love interest of the Robert Downey Jr helmed character of Iron Man.
As a matter of fact, director Joss Whedon recently revealed that it was Downey Jr. who insisted that Paltrow be a part of "The Avengers" cast.
Whedon explained, "You need to separate the characters from their support systems in order to create the isolation you need for a team. But Pepper, this was really Robert?s thing. He pushed hard... He really thought Gwyneth would bring something great to the table, and we all thought so as well, but he was the one who convinced her to come and do it."
Joss added, "He didn?t want to be sort of, crazy alone guy, he wanted to be crazy in-a-relationship guy."

Taking care to stay in good health, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted at a doctors? office in Santa Monica yesterday afternoon (April 18).
The ?Shakespeare in Love? actress hit up the Be Hive of Healing Integrative Medical Center, looking fab in a floral top and white shorts with some hippie-style kicks.
And though she?s usually uber eco-friendly, Gweneth is getting slammed for using a limousine to travel 100 yards from a Paul McCartney Music Video Launch to a nearby boutique in West Hollywood.
According to a report, Paltrow?s peeps urged her to take the transportation as a safety measure, even though most of the other guests (including her hubby Chris Martin) opted just to walk the short distance.
