Gwyneth Paltrow is the cover girl for the March issue of Harper?s Bazaar. The photo shoot was done by Terry Richardson, and? I don?t really care for it. It?s like Goop is trying to look all shiny and glitzy/sexy, with maybe some hints of rock-star-trashy. And that style simply doesn?t work for Goop. That being said, I think the subscriber?s cover (the one where you don?t see Goop?s face) is intriguing and interesting. Mostly because you don?t see her face. You can see the full Richardson photo shoot here (and the full online interview too). Here are some highlights from Goop?s Bazaar interview:
She doesn?t like Botox: “I’ll take my wrinkles,” she says. “I don’t like the Botox thing.” But she does enjoy sunshine for the vitamin D, despite “my dermatologist yelling at me.” (She admits to “little things, like lasers” and regular facials, often with the London-based Vaishaly Patel.)
She still trains with Tracy Anderson: Today, like every other weekday morning, she has spent an hour and a half with her trainer, Tracy Anderson, doing dance aerobics and a precise series of exercises that changes every 10 days. The aim, she says, is “that you’re muscular, but you don’t get used to anything.”
She?s detoxing too: Right now, the dedicated eater (see Gwyneth chowing on a bocadillo with Mario Batali in Spain or on fried chicken while filming Country Strong down South) is also on a 12-week detox program. “I have a lot of inflammation in my system, so I’m not having anything I’m allergic to?no gluten, no dairy, no sugar.” The trigger for these seasonal detox sessions, she says, is recognizing her physical symptoms: “I’ll wake up exhausted; I can feel my adrenal cortex being really high. When I get into bed, my heart will pound, my skin won’t be good, I’ll feel cranky, and then I’ll just know it’s time.” But such consciousness has an emotional impetus as well: She cites the death in 2002 of her beloved father, director Bruce Paltrow, from throat cancer at 58?after decades of vodka and smoking?as a catalyst for her own conversion to clean living. “All I’ve learned about nutrition and health came from his cancer,” she says. “I’ll probably have a long and healthy life because he didn’t.”
When she?s not detoxing: “I eat whatever I want. I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.” But an outline of her regular diet, along with the rest of her timetable, reveals a model of restraint. She’s up every morning around 7:00 with her two children, Apple and Moses (seven and five, respectively). “I don’t really like eating that early, so I usually just have coffee and then a couple of bites of their leftovers, like granola and yogurt or scrambled eggs.”
What does she do all day? During the day, Gwyneth’s attention turns to her rapidly expanding and soon-to-be-redesigned Web site, goop (which now has more than a million viewers a week and is relaunching next month), and its associated apps, including a new range of city guides, starting with Los Angeles and moving on to London and other world capitals. Then there’s her second cookbook to complete. (The first, My Father’s Daughter, came out last spring; this one, as yet untitled, will focus on “really delicious health food.”)
The Goop Brand: “Everything I’ve done has been completely organic, and that’s why the brand is a strong brand, because there is no ulterior motive behind it,” she says.
Chris Martin is described as ?hugely supportive?: The two of them seem affectionately relaxed together?”he’s very communicative,” she says, “which is rare for a British man”?at ease with their nine-year relationship and their roles as parents. “If I’m in L.A. for three days working, then my husband does the school run; it’s always one of us,” although they do have a nanny for the children. “She’s French, so she’s teaching them French, and their previous nanny was Spanish, so they’re fluent in Spanish.” But it’s Gwyneth who gives the children their bath?”we all get into the tub together”?and she’s the one who cooks dinner for them before Apple and Moses go to bed at 8:00. It’s a family dinner, unless she goes out with Chris to eat at her favorite Japanese restaurants in London or for seafood at the members-only Arts Club.
She?s archiving her wardrobe for Apple: “I’ve been saving my clothes for her since before she was born. I was like, I’ll bet you anything I’ll have a daughter, and she’ll be a really cool butch lesbian and be so above clothes, and I got a very clothes-obsessed child. So if she’s a lesbian, she’s a lipstick lesbian. She doesn’t like anything avant-garde at all. She likes anything that’s pretty, pretty, pretty or has a bow or a ruffle or is pink.”
Goop name-drops Beyonce: As it happens, while Beyonc was headlining the Glastonbury Festival last June (the night after Coldplay), Gwyneth was watching by the side of the stage with Jay-Z and testifies to the fact that her friend’s performance was punctuated by the miserable side effects of early pregnancy: “She was absolutely incredible, especially as she was barfing in between.”
She?s a traditional wife and mother: “I have little kids in school. I want to maintain my marriage and my family, so I have to be here when he comes home.” Hence her recent advice to a girlfriend (who remains tantalizingly unnamed): “She is an actress and in a new relationship with someone else with a big career, and I said this may not be feminist, but you have to compromise. It’s been all about you and you’re a big deal. And if you want what you’re saying you want?a family?you have to be a wife, and that is part of the equation. Gloria Steinem may string me up by my toes, but all I can do is my best, and I can do only what works for me and my family.”
On her exes: Gwyneth remains discreet about her previous boyfriends, who include Brad Pitt (they dated for nearly three years from 1994 and were engaged for six months) and Ben Affleck (in the late ’90s). She met Chris Martin in 2002, three weeks after her father’s death, and married him the following year. But she does confess that she knows what it feels like to be betrayed?”I had a boyfriend who used to cheat on me all the time. I was quite naive. I knew on a cellular level, but I bought his story”?while making it clear that infidelity is not part of her marriage.
But she?s not judging cheaters: She does not condemn others who stray. “The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get. Life is long. I have friends who I love and admire who have had an affair. When I was younger, I would have said he’s a terrible person or she’s a terrible person. But who made these laws?” And if the commitment to remain within a relationship can be renewed, she believes, then it should survive the inevitable challenges? “I think you do fall in and out of love and you just keep going, and every time you go through a really difficult phase, you rediscover something new and it just gets better. We’ve been married for more than eight years now, and we’re still into it.”

I mean? ugh. Nothing she said offended me on a deep level, but there?s some interesting and controversial stuff in here. I find it interesting that Gwyneth is putting herself out there as the anti-feminist, the woman who is holding up traditional values, the one who advises peasant womanfolk to stand by their men and make sure to take care of their families. As for the conversation about infidelity? well? I don?t even know. I think Goop?s marriage is a lot harder than she wants to admit, and she puts up with a lot more than she?ll admit. Which makes me sad for Goop – it feels like she?s ?given up? a lot of herself to keep her marriage and family going.

| | Gwyneth Paltrow's Hangover Cures: A Doctor's Assessment | | Added 13 years ago | Source: Celebrity Gossip |

Making an attempt at helping her readers out, Gwyneth Paltrow recently posted advice in her GOOP newsletter on how to avoid a New Year's Day hangover.
While it was meant to aid her audience, Dr Michael Lucchesi doesn?t agree with some of the hangover tips the ?Shallow Hal? actress offered up.
First, Paltrow suggests drinking a health drink called Mercy (which contains amino acids, vitamins and herbs), but Lucchesi says it?s no more beneficial than regular water or Gatorade.
In addition, Gwyneth says a hot steam shower can cure the hangover blues, but Lucchesi disagrees while pointing out that stepping into a steam room will only dehydrate your body more.
The doc didn?t argue with everything the blonde actress posted. Here are some tips he agreed with:
Eat something: Drinking on an empty stomach is never a good idea, ever. Eat a solid meal before drinking, always. Your hangover will be twice as horrible if you don?t.
Drink water. Lots of it: The more you drink through the the night, the less likely you?ll be sick the next day. Can?t handle all that H20? Alternate drinks with club soda and lime. Has it been four hours and you still haven?t gone to the bathroom? You are likely seriously dehydrated from not having drunk nearly enough water.
Aspirin or Tylenol? When it comes to getting rid of that throbbing headache, take whatever works. If ibuprofen helps, go with it. Just chase it with lots of water. There?s nothing wrong with trying Alka-Selzer since it has some salts in it.
Eat something palatable: When you are hung over the thought of food can make one feel physically ill. Try to eat something with simple carbohydrates.
Rest: And since you?ve likely been out all night partying, climb back in bed and get some sleep.

Gwyneth Paltrow offered some pretentious New Year’s Day hangover advice on her GOOP newsletter but thankfully Dr. Michael Lucchesi is here to rain on her parade. Lucchesi, chief medical staff at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and accomplished alcoholic, debunks most of Paltrow’s hangover cures.
First, Lucchesi wasn’t too impressed with Gwyneth’s health elixir Mercy, a company she has a stake in. Paltrow praised the “amino acids, vitamins, minerals and herb” drink andsuggestsmixing it with alcohol for hangover prevention. The good doctor shook his head, scoffed and said the elixir is no more beneficial than water or Gatorade explaining it’s the salts and electrolytes that provide relief and not Gwyneth’s buzzwords.
Lucchesi was also confused as to why Paltrow wants you to drag your ass to a hot steam room. “Alcohol is a diuretic. Why would you want to engage in an activity that would cause you to lose more water and salt?” Well, because a famous person said so. Duh! What a silly question.
As for the vitamin supplements and herbs she and her celeb doctor Dr. Oz suggest, bahumbug. “Most of these are totally water soluble. If you’re drinking water throughout the evening, you’ll just urinate them out.” Somewhere out there Gwyenth went “Aw, crap,” because her scam has been found out.
Paltrow isn’t a complete idiot though. A few things the real doctor agreed with was that you should eat something beforehand, drink lots of water, take Aspirin or Tylenol if needed and eat something palatable. All of which will cost you way less than buying celebrity Gatorade but obviously won’t taste as good since none of these are fortified with the tears of the unborn and Gwyneth Paltrow’s hopes and dreams.

Kicking off her weekend across the pond, Gwyneth Paltrow arriving on a flight into London's Heathrow Airport from Los Angeles on Saturday (December 3).
Dressed in a black blazer and leggings, gray scarf and matching suede booties, the "Country Strong" looked to be uninterested in the shutterbugs, sweeping past them quickly as she made her way through the terminal.
In other news, Gwyneth has somehow landed a spot on the 2011 edition of GQ magazine's "Least Influential People" list.
Also named on this year's lineup are Hank Williams Jr., Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul Reiser, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Tila Tequila and January Jones.

Gwyneth Paltrow can single-handedly heal America?s racial divide! Not really, and I don?t mean to make it sound like Gwyneth is claiming that either. Gwyneth appeared on the HuffPo Black Voices show The Tanning Effect to discuss race in America with host Steve Stoute, author of The Tanning of America, a book that explores how ?hip-hop culture? changed the way Americans view race and the economy. So of course, he wanted to speak to Dame Gwyneth, who is America?s Foremost Racial Expert. She?s friends with Beyonce and Jay-Z, after all!
Long before captivating moviegoers across the globe with her award-winning acting skills, Gwyneth Paltrow was front and center of a pivotal cultural shift. While growing up in Santa Monica, California, her father, Bruce Paltrow, created and wrote for the late ’70s CBS drama “The White Shadow,” which examined racial stereotypes in America and exposed the actress to many seminal television “Tanning” moments. As she explains in HuffPost Black Voices latest episode of “The Tanning Effect,” Paltrow witnessed her father’s impact at the time on American society.
“I think the most ‘Tanning’ that I saw during that phase of my life was my dad, [who] created, wrote and directed a TV show called ‘The White Shadow,’ about a white basketball coach teaching basketball in an inner-city school,” she explained. “And that show that he did — I mean, obviously we were there a lot, but it was interesting to see that culturally start to permeate. And he did a lot of ‘firsts’ on that show. He had the first interracial kiss ever. It was a good show.”
“I learned a lot of it through the show, especially since they were using a lot of the stereotypes as a way to exploit them or expose them or to debunk them,” she continued. “And a lot of times obviously in a creative situation, those stereotypes are what causes tension and story lines and plots.”
Having an unbiased viewpoint on multicultural relationships is also a trait that the “Shakespeare in Love” star has shared with her two children. In fact, the 39-year-old admitted that the shift of beauty in America is “long overdue.”
“I don’t want to bemoan the fact that it should’ve happened 50 years ago, because it’s here now,” she added. “And it’s like the way I see it is that I have two little kids who are understanding the world in a time when Rihanna is on the cover of Vogue, and we have a black president. So their eyes are being as if they’re experiencing the world for the first time. All of this stuff is just root — it’s normal stuff for them. And that to me is what’s so incredible.”
“When my daughter understood what a president was, it was a black man. It’s not like me, where I grew up with all of these old white guys one after another … Their perspective on race and everything is completely open and completely different to how it was when I was a kid.”
[From Huffington Post]
I don?t really have a problem with what Gwyneth is saying – she?s just talking about her dad, who really was a ground-breaking television producer, and I don?t have a problem with her comments about Obama and the shifting standards of beauty. She?s right – it is important that all kids see that we have a black president, that African-American women are iconic, celebrated beauties, and that mommy?s BFF is Beyonce.

Adding more frequent flyer points to her credit, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted catching a flight to the USA at London?s Heathrow International Airport today (November 28).
The ?Sliding Doors? starlet was accompanied by a bodyguard as she checked in for her flight, cleared the security checkpoint and walked on to her gate.
In a recent interview, Gwyn, who is the face of the current Coach handbag campaign, chatted about her own personal sense of style.
Paltrow explained, "I grew up in New York City and I went to an all-girls school where I had to wear a uniform. And that idea of a uniform ? something that you wear everyday, that looks good, that's classic ? I kind of have my uniform and I have a twist on it every day. I look to women of older generations like Katharine Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, who really had their own style. Even someone like Angelica Huston today really wears what works for her and looks great."
As for her view on aging, Gwyneth shared, "I'm not afraid, it's inevitable, I am not that excited about it. I am gonna fight it every step of the way. But I also think it's nice to be a real woman who's lived life and had kids and experiences and heartbreak and joy and all of that shows on your face."

You know what?s bad? Gwyneth Paltrow puts so much time, energy, money and ego into getting dressed for various red carpets, and it?s gotten to the point where she almost always looks WORSE when she?s trying, as opposed to her casual look. Look at these photos of Goop last night in London, where she met up with Guy Ritchie for dinner

Damn, Gwyneth Paltrow looks like hell here, doesn?t she? These are photos of Goop from last night?s Bambi Awards in Germany. Goop wore this Elie Saab dress which? doesn?t suit her. Go here to see the runway look - it?s actually beautiful on the runway. On Goop, though, it falls flat. Operative word: flat. What?s going on in the chest area? Couldn?t Goop get some tailoring so she wouldn?t look so? low? Beyond the dress and how the shade of green looks kind of cheap on her, her face looks busted too. And her FLAT IRONED HAIR. Dear God, it?s like we?re still back in the 1990s. Why must Goop do this to all of the time? Someone (Chris Martin) needs to take away her flat iron and burn that mofo.
In case you?re wondering about Goop?s necklace - it?s Annoushka. Fug.
Goop also presented an award to Justin Bieber, it seems. Do you think little Apple is a Bieliber? Anyway, she got to stand there with Justin and some chick!!!!! OMG. That should totally go in the next Goop newsletter.
Speaking of this week?s Goop-letter, Gwyneth talks about holiday gift-giving and some of her suggestions are? dare I say it? interesting. You can read the full Goop here - she makes lots of jewelry gift suggestions, and she seems to be putting in an effort to suggest some reasonably priced pieces. I LOVE the fingerprint earrings. I also love the pale-pink hardback Jane Austen collection. Gah! This week?s Goop is good, and a lot of the companies are offering discounts if you say you heard of them from Goop. Smart and well-thought out. I hate when that happens!

Bringing her radiance to the red carpet, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted at the 2011 Bambi Awards in Wiesbaden, Germany earlier today (November 10).
Held at the Rhein-Main-Hallen, the "Country Strong" actress dazzled in an plunging, emerald green sequin Elie Saab frock, of which she accented with a equally-sparkly silver choker necklace.
And while Gwyneth always looks picture perfect to us, she recently admitted to not being so skilled in the beauty department. ?Believe it or not, I am terrible at doing my own makeup. I?m decent at doing it for a friend, but when it comes to my own face, I never get it right,? she wrote on her Goop newsletter.
Paltrow later added a step-by-step picture tutorial with the message "I have been wanting a step by step lesson for ages so I asked my London makeup artist, Emma Lovell, to show me how."

So Kaiser had the title saved for this story and I started sending her emails complaining about how I was offended by Gwyneth Paltrow’s newsletter this week. Goop gave us a makeup “tutorial” that was basic stuff I learned when I first started applying makeup as a teen. There was honestly nothing useful at all in there for me. I have auburn hair and pale reddish skin and I do my makeup every day. I can’t remember the last time I went out without makeup, and I don’t feel like myself when I don’t wear it. I don’t wear a lot, and unlike Gwen Stefani I have no problem sitting at home with a bare face around my loved ones, but when I go out I wear it. I know makeup, I know how to apply it, and I know what looks good with my coloring. You can call me insecure or vain or whatever, but I like doing my hair and makeup every day.
Anyway, Goop used a “dear friend” as a model and wrote that she asked a London makeup artist to do her over and give us advice. It was so basic it annoyed me. I’ll just include Goop’s message here. You can go to Goop’s site for the very simple tutorial:
Believe it or not, I am terrible at doing my own makeup. I’m decent at doing it for a friend, but when it comes to my own face, I never get it right. I have been wanting a step by step lesson for ages so I asked my London makeup artist, Emma Lovell, to show me how. One of my gorgeous school mum friends from my son Mosey’s class agreed to be the model (thank you, Kate!), and I learned so much. I hope it’s helpful for some of you!
[From Goop]
I guess if you have no clue how to apply makeup or what products are available the very basic advice may be useful to you. There was nothing new there or informative to me whatsoever. Doesn’t every makeup tutorial tell you that you need to curl your eyelashes first?
This kind of illustrates for me why Goopy goes out without makeup and why she often looks like hell at events. I’ve seen her do that thing where she rims the membranes and lids of her eyes with thin black eyeliner, making her look squinty.
It bothers me that this woman assumes everyone else is as inept with makeup as she is. When I go looking for tutorials, I want to learn how to do a smokey eye, the right brushes to use to apply and blend blush with my face shape, and how to shape my eyebrows and fill them, not just that I should use an eyebrow pencil and a “cream blush on the apple of the cheek.” Really, Gwyneth? You’ve been working red carpets for years and this makeup advice is news to you? It’s like she really does think we need her guidance in all matters.
These photos are from 2008 and 2009, when Gwyneth’s makeup was particularly bad. She seems to have hired a makeup artist afterwards.
