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.

This is one of my new favorite Gwyneth Paltrow stories. I like this one even more than all of the stories about how constipated Dame Goop is (true story). Last Friday, Gwyneth and Kristen Stewart were part of a large A-list group gathered in LA for the premiere of Paul McCartney?s new music video for ?My Valentine?. I covered some photos from the event here – most of the girls wore Stella McCartney, to hilariously disastrous results. Gwyneth was actually one of the best-dressed girls at the event, in my opinion. In this post, I?m including photos of Goop at the event, and in the car after the event. So, here?s the funny story: Gwyneth took a car service from the ?My Valentine? party to the post-party dinner. It?s only shocking when you realize that the dinner was held .06 miles away, four doors down from the party. It was a ten-second car ride.
Just in time for Earth Week, Gwyneth Paltrow took a 10-second car ride from the Stella McCartney party to the following dinner in LA on Friday. The event at McCartney?s West Hollywood boutique celebrated the video directorial debut of her dad, Sir Paul McCartney, for his new single, ?My Valentine.? A-list Hollywood turned out, including Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Jane Fonda and Amy Smart.
Most guests later walked four doors down for the dinner at Madeo restaurant on Beverly Boulevard. Our spy said, ?It?s a short walk. Also at the dinner was Gwyneth [who has starred in green public- service announcements] with husband Chris Martin ? except they left the party in a gas-guzzling Town Car, were chauffeured a few feet and got out at the restaurant that was pretty much next door to the party.?
According to Mapquest, the McCartney boutique (at 8823 Beverly) and Madeo (8897 Beverly) are 0.06 miles apart, a 10-second drive. Paltrow?s rep didn?t get back to us.

Part of me believes this story wholeheartedly, simply because Gwyneth doesn?t want to ever be in a position where she has to interact with peasants, even if it?s just walking down the block. She might run into one of the unwashed masses! How would she ever handle it? Another part of me – the part of me that?s been giving Kristen Stewart the benefit of the doubt lately – wonders if Gwyneth even realized that the dinner was being held at a venue within walking distance, you know? She might not have realized it. I hate myself a little for giving her the benefit of the doubt. We must always assume the worst about Dame Goop, because she so often meets those expectations.

“I spy an unwashed peasant! To the Goopmobile!”

An au natural Gwyneth Paltrow was out enjoying a relaxing meal with a few friends in Beverly Hills on Tuesday afternoon (April 17).
Opting to chow down at Scarpetta restaurant, the "Avengers" actress was all smiles as she took a break from her busy schedule while clad in a grey tee with vintage-inspired gold necklaces, along with a pair of white jeans and brown sandals.
Miss Paltrow's new film?s director, Joss Whedon, revealed to the LA Times this morning why the 39-year-old was added to the ensemble cast making up "The Avengers", saying that Robert Downey Jr insisted that she was a crucial addition to his character, Iron Man?s arc through the plot.
"You need to separate the characters from their support systems in order to create the isolation you need for a team," Whedon said during the film's junket, explaining why he didn?t originally include the actress.
"But Pepper, this was really Robert?s thing. He pushed hard ... ," Joss added. "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."

This week?s Goop newsletter is all about Gwyneth Paltrow being so very English and posh, and we American peasants simply do not understand what a pleasure it is to live with all of the civilized people in England. So Dame Goop has written a special letter to all of us, letting us know about all of the amazing beauty products she single-handedly finds in all of the ?regular old English pharmacies.? Ye Olde Pharmacies, I think she meant to write.
One of the many exciting things about living in England for a good part of the year is the perpetual discovery. I am constantly delighting in what might be very ordinary for people who are native to this land. An example would be the regular old English pharmacy, which is stocked with a variety of amazing affordable products, many of which are not available outside of the UK. We hit up the French Pharmacy a few months ago, and now we have compiled a list of the some of our faves here in England in case you find yourself on these fair shores. And if you already live here, well, you know what I mean.
Love, gp

We actually got a request from a Goop-fan for coverage of Gwyneth?s list of products (which you can read here). The Goop-fan points out that on her list of 16 products, five of them can be found in any given Target or Walmart. HOW GAUCHE. I mean, Dame Goop thinks Yardley soaps are so special that she can only find them in the UK? By the way, I have a lot of relatives that live in Europe and India, and all of them spend a fortune on cosmetics and soaps and stuff whenever they come to America – they stock up on stuff for the year whenever they visit the US. It?s because A) the average Walmart, Target and CVS has such a big variety of products and B) Everything is cheaper here, partly because of the weak dollar and partly because everything is just cheaper.
In other Goop news, Our Lady of Smug Condescension has deigned to take another role in a peasanty film. A ?moving picture? as Goop says. A ?talkie?. Gwyneth has taken the role of Pablo Picasso?s lover and muse Dora Maar in a film that?s about Picasso painting his seminal work Guernica. The film is called 33 Dias, and Antonio Banderas will play Picasso. Ooooh. That should be interesting. First of all, Antonio looks nothing like Picasso. Think Alan Arkin, honestly. And Dora Maar was more of a Jennifer Jason Leigh type. Plus, Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore already did this.

Still defending her cookbook, Gwyneth Paltrow took to the "Rachael Ray Show" to continue clearing up allegations that she utilized a ghostwriter for "My Father's Daughter."
During a Skype interview with the ABC talk show host, the "Shakespeare In Love" actress shot down claims made by the New York Times, saying, "Every single recipe in the book I came up with and I cooked on the spot."
Adding that clearing up gossip isn't normally her thing, Miss Paltrow explained, ?This is my professional life, and I?m writing more cookbooks, and I feel like it?s important? that [people] know this is my book, and I wrote my book, and it?s all mine.?
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the New York Times Dining section came out with an article just about a week ago claiming that multiple celebrity chefs and cook book authors obtained the help of a ghostwriter.
Paltrow first fired back on her Twitter page, writing, "Love @nytimes dining section but this weeks facts need checking. No ghost writer on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself."
Just days following the Twitter response, an NY Times rep told E! News, "The article does not merit correction." Writer Julia Moskin then penned a follow-up piece for the newspaper in which she noted, "While the article dealt with a wide range of assistance, it became clear that the notion of 'ghostwriting' carried a strong stigma in the food world. It suggested that the food itself?the ingredients, the flavors, the techniques? as invented by someone else. This does sometimes happen (call it 'ghost-cooking'), and the chefs who engage in it are the objects of a special kind of scorn." However, Moskin made it clear she was not accusing Paltrow of "ghost-cooking."
The "Contagion" actress is not the only one to have fought back on this article, as chefs such as Mario Batali, Rachael Ray and Jamie Oliver have also denied that allegations by firmly stating that there were no ghost writers involved in their publications either.

I have mixed feelings about this Gwyneth Paltrow story. I feel like The Sun (a British rag) is trying to make it seem like ?Goop speaks to her father?s spirit, isn?t she CRAZY?? when in reality, I think she just misses her dad. Bruce Paltrow died 10 years ago, and Gwyneth consistently references him in interview after interview, and she even made her cookbook all about the lessons that Bruce gave her. Incidentally, I wonder why Gwyneth seems to negate her mother?s influence in her life – Gwyneth rarely says anything about Blythe Danner. Anyway? Gwyneth seems to have given an exclusive interview to The Sun, which is sketchy because The Sun reported yesterday that Gwyneth is trying to start a bitch-fight with Kate Moss. Why the exclusive?
Gwyneth Paltrow says she chats to her late dad’s wedding ring ? as it contains his spirit. The star claims she has been in regular contact with Bruce Paltrow since his death from throat cancer.
Gwyneth, 39, added in an emotional interview: “I always hold on to his wedding ring. I ask it questions, I feel like it keeps me safe. I really sense the energy of his soul, I don’t think that evaporates. I feel my dad, I still feel his love, I still speak to him and I still love him.”
TV and film director Bruce died in Rome in 2002 while celebrating his daughter’s 30th birthday.
Gwyneth, who won the best actress Oscar for Shakespeare In Love in 1998, blames his death at 58 on smoking. But she says it had a positive effect by turning her into a fitness freak.
She added: “Half the reason my life is good and has real, true value is that he died. I’d obviously rather have him alive, but he gave me so much in his death.”
Gwyneth now has a strict exercise and yoga regime, avoids carbs and sticks to a diet of grains, fruit and veg that matches her blood type.
When Bruce became ill she tried to get him on healthy food like gluten-free noodles ? but he said it tasted like newspaper.
Her Coldplay star hubby Chris Martin dedicated a song to Bruce on his X&Y album in 2005.
In 2006 Gwyneth claimed the couple’s London home was haunted by 19th-century classical musician Adolphus White, who died there.
[From The Sun]
I don?t think it?s weird to speak to your late father?s spirit. Am I alone in that? Eh. I?m not going to bash her for this. She likes to remember him, she likes to reflect, so just let her. I will say that in true Gwyneth fashion, she makes her father?s death all about her. But that?s a given. It?s all about what his death taught HER, what she learned, how devastated she was and is. Once again, where?s Blythe Danner in all of this? Where?s Gwyneth?s brother Jake? Is that a question only a peasant would ask?

Trying to avoid the paparazzi, Gwyneth Paltrow wa spotted heading into 34 restaurant in London, England on Monday night (March 19).
The best-selling author looked warm and cozy on her English evening out while wearing a suede coat, black ankle boots and topping it all off with a big white scarf.
The London outing comes just after the 39 year-old fired back at the NY Times for claiming she used a ghost writer pen her cookbook, "My Father's Daughter."
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Paltrow was quick to respond on her Twitter page, writing, "Love @nytimes dining section but this weeks facts need checking. No ghost writer on my cookbook, I wrote every word myself," but it looks the newspaper isn't apologizing for what was written.
In a report by E! Online, a rep for the publications says, "The article does not merit correction."
A follow up piece written by Julia Moskin, explains, "While the article dealt with a wide range of assistance, it became clear that the notion of 'ghostwriting' carried a strong stigma in the food world. It suggested that the food itself?the ingredients, the flavors, the techniques? as invented by someone else. This does sometimes happen (call it 'ghost-cooking'), and the chefs who engage in it are the objects of a special kind of scorn."
Moskin admits she was not accusing Paltrow or any of the other mentioned chefs of 'ghost-cooking.'
