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.”

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.

Oh, Gwyneth. Is there any subject that you will not deign to speak of with condescension? Gwyneth wants us to know that she didn?t need formal training as an actress - she was just that good, naturally. You know why? Because her mother is Blythe Danner, and yours isn?t. You can go to The Actor?s Studio and study Stanislavski, because you are not Blythe Danner?s daughter and acting simply isn?t in your blood. And even then, you didn?t deign to attend to Spence Academy, which Goop claims trained her for every single thing in her life, basically. Isn?t that funny? Everything Goop needed to learn about the world, she learned from being a popular girl in a private high school. That says it all, right?
Gwyneth Paltrow learned everything about acting from her mother, Blythe Danner, and her own instincts. At the Spence School last week, Paltrow told students she has no training beyond what she learned there: ?I studied drama here, but I didn?t study it past being at Spence … My mother … has done a lot of stage work. I got a great education from her … and growing up here where I went to the theater all the time. I?ve developed my own technique, but the most important thing is your instincts.?
[From Page Six]
Keep in mind - Gwyneth?s own, special Goop technique is what enabled her to twang it up as a country singer in Country Strong. The Goop Technique has allowed her to shake her goop without rhythm on Glee. It allowed her to stand around and be the foil to Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man. Because those of Goop?s most recent acting credits, and I don?t really think they speak volumes about her ?talent? or her technique. But it doesn?t really matter - in Goop?s mind, she?s always A-list and she will always be A-list. She learned that at Spence too.
Here?s another Goop story, via the NYDN. Goop took her kids bowling. HOW GAUCHE.
Gwyneth Paltrow doesn?t half-ass it when she competes against her kids. A source at Bowlmor Lanes in Union Square says the ?Country Strong? actress brought her two children, Apple, 7, and Moses, 5, to the alley on Thursday for an afternoon of pin toppling.
After trading in her high heels for a rather plain pair of bowling shoes and signing in as ?Mom? on the electronic scoreboard, the insider says Paltrow proceeded to dominate her progeny. The 39-year-old actress scored a respectable 83 for herself, while her daughter rolled a 70. Moses finished with 62. Expect to see a post on Goop about teaching your kids to lose with grace ? and learning how not to gloat when you best your children in games of skill.
[From The NYDN]
It cracks me up to no end that Goop is so superior she won?t even let her kids win at bowling. ?I have to teach them how to be the BEST, because they are my children, and it?s in our genes to be the best. How else will they learn if I don?t beat them until they get better?? Goop asked the Dalai Lama.

Fresh off of a grueling week on the "Thanks for Sharing" set, Gwyneth Paltrow transitioned to mommy mode as she spent the day with her children in New York City on Saturday (October 15).
The Oscar-winning actress led the way as she escorted Apple and Moses to shop at a Halloween store while searching for the perfect costumes for her little ones to wear on the spooky holiday.
During the course of their outing, Gwyneth and her kids also paid a visit to actress Liv Tyler's Big Apple abode for a playdate with Tyler's son, Milo.
While Miss Paltrow tended to Apple and Moses, family patriarch Chris Martin took advantage of his bachelor time by squeezing in a lunch outing with Jay-Z at popular NYC eatery, the Standard Grill.

Kicking off another workday, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted arriving on the set of ?Thanks for Sharing? in New York City today (October 14).
The ?Sliding Doors? actress donned a pair of sunglasses with a twill jacket, white blouse, and distressed jeans as she prepared to film scenes.
Last night (October 13) Gwyn attended a 10th Anniversary screening of her cult classic ?The Royal Tennenbaums,? where she joked about trying to get the film the rights for Beatles songs from Paul McCartney.
Paltrow quipped, ?I tried to bribe Paul McCartney. Sex and everything. I ended up taking him bowling, weirdly enough, with Heather Mills, his ex-wife, and Luke Wilson. [Director] Wes [Anderson] put me on a mission. ?You gotta get the rights!? He loved the movie, then we went bowling and he said he has nothing to do with the rights.?

Fresh-faced and ready to go, a makeup-less Gwyneth Paltrow took to the New York City set of "Thanks For Sharing" this morning (October 13).
Channeling her inner rock star, the "Country Strong" actress donned a distressed black leather jacket, skinny jeans and black ankle boots as she arrived for the day's filming.
As for the film itself, the comedy centers on a trio of people who undergo a 12-step treatment plan for their addition to sex and end up sparking up meaningful relationships on their route to recovery.
Eying a 2012 debut, the Stuart Blumberg flick also stars Mark Ruffalo, Josh Gad, Tim Robbins, Pink and Joely Richardson.
