Gwyneth Paltrow is a narcissist and an elitist. What I?ve learned through watching Gwyneth?s Goop empire grow is that Gwyneth is also just a regular old stunt-queening famewhore too. If anything, she?s sort of worse than the Kardashian-esque Instagram influencers sure, those people shill ?waist trainers,? laxatives and diet teas. But Gwyneth has built a whole-ass empire on fake science, ?wellness,? and headline-grabbing stunt-queening. All of that is made worse by two facts: Gwyneth is smart enough to know better AND Gwyneth lives inside her own ass and is humorless about her own bullsh-t. Behold, a new Gwyneth interview where she describes HERSELF as someone with an ?irreverent sense of humor.? Girl? stop.
She?s not a dumb stunt-queen, she?s just very beautiful & irreverent: ?Well, the people who know me well know that my irreverent sense of humour is very much at the core of who I am. Sometimes, I think people are surprised by that, because I look a certain way, or whatever assumptions they make about me. Humour has always been a part of the Goop brand and marketing. Weve always had pithy, funny subject lines. Weve always wanted to name our products things that were funny and appealing and also said really clearly what they did.
Whether the vagina-candle & other things were stunts: We were not trying to create some kind of a publicity stunt whatsoever, but we did see that it drove a lot of interest and traffic to the site. Not that we do stunts all the time, but we do know the power of a good joke or a racy product name.
She wants to get into the CBD space: I would love to get into the CBD space, I think that there are some really interesting studies around CBD and the efficiency of it, especially theres a little bit of THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the high sensation.) but I think were a way away from that. The regulation is really difficult.
[From The Daily Mail]
It?s funny that she?s a bit reticent about getting into the CBD market because of all of the regulations. That?s why she sticks with the fake science, the stickers which heal cancer, the jade eggs for your bajingo and the non-stop ?cleanses.? It?s because those markets are not as closely regulated. As for Gwyneth?s stunts and her ?irreverent sense of humor? it reminds me of when Rooney Mara went around saying that she?s ?aloof.? Is Gwyneth ?irreverent? or is she just the woman who was cool in high school but is now the 40-something who makes fun of overweight people and still says sh-t like ?you hate me because I?m so pretty!?

Last year, Gwyneth Paltrow became the goopy face of Xeomin, an ?anti-wrinkle? injectable which works a lot like Botox, but from what I understand, is slightly different than Restylane. Restylane seems to make women that ?puffy? and ?filler? look, where Botox makes women just look frozen. Judging from Gwyneth?s current face, Xeomin has found a way to decrease the puffiness and the frozen-ness. Gwyneth still looks a bit different and she definitely looks slightly altered, but all in all, it?s good injectable work from where I sit. Gwyneth recently spoke to Harper?s Bazaar about her Xeomin contract, and this is just a piece of spon-con, but it?s interesting to hear Gwyneth talk openly about this stuff, especially considering that so few of her peers do talk about it.
Why celebrity women don?t want to talk about their injectables: ?A lot of successful women in Hollywood are motivated early on by not being good enough, and so we?re trying to prove something to ourselves. By getting injectables, it?s like admitting a vulnerability. I think sometimes honesty is perceived to be a weaknessThere does seem to be a lot of stigma around injections.
Xeomin is an FDA-approved anti-wrinkle injection for frown lines between the eyebrows: For Paltrow, a ?teeny drop? of the stuff makes her ?look less pissed off.?
This isn?t her first time using injectables. ?I had a midlife crisis when I turned 40, and I went to go see this doctor. It was a disaster. I didn?t do anything else for a long, long time. I was bruised, my forehead was completely frozen, and I didn?t look like myself at all, Paltrow admits. She says the switch to Xeomin?and a new doctor?are responsible for her more natural look these days.
She?s fine with talking about it: ?I think it?s nice when women share, because there?s a lot of shame around surgery or injectables or fillers, and it would be nice if people felt confident about the choices they were making. But if they want to have a beauty secret, that?s okay, too. Im an open book?Ive shared what works for me, because thats how Ive always learned.
Gen Z is partly to thank for the evolving conversations on beauty & alterations: ?The younger generation is embracing and deifying women like Jane Fonda and Frances McDormand. They just love cool women, whether they?re older or different to them. They?re so much less judgmental about other women of all shapes and sizes. I observe that with my daughter. They look at the whole woman, instead of some super-airbrushed, FaceTuned Instagram photo. I like the trend I?m seeing.?
[From Harper?s Bazaar]
From where I sit, the Millennials went too far in embracing the Facetuning/air-brushing cartoon-character beauty. As someone slightly older than Millennial, it was disturbing to see how rapidly the culture went from anti-beauty/grunge in the ?90s to infantilized girl-women in the early ?00s to the ?no imperfections, every woman must be hairless, wear a mound of makeup and airbrush all of her selfies? with the rise of social media. In my heart, I?ll always be the grunge girl who eschews all of that, but that being said, I still love a good night cream and I am increasingly spending more and more on my under-eye cream. I don?t know what point I?m making, I guess that it?s not purely a generational thing and every generation embraces different beauty icons and sometimes those icons are wildly different.
As for the injectables helping her look LESS pissed off? what she?s saying is that she has Resting Bitchface and she gets injectables because she doesn?t want the peasants to know how dismissive she is of them.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been going through a phase over the past few weeks where she?s doing the most to take credit for getting Covid-19 before it was ?cool? and for being a mask-wearer before anyone else, if you don?t count half of Asia. Gwyneth has also talked a lot about the coronavirus in the context of her Goop pseudoscience, much to the consternation of actual public health officials. For years now, we?ve known about Gwyneth?s over-reliance on shamans, healers and non-medical doctors for all of her wellness and diet advice. So obviously, Gwyenth has so many stories about how Covid affected that which is most precious to her: her weight, and which starvation diet she pursued.
Gwyneth Paltrow knows the struggle of COVID-19 quarantine weight gain. While speaking with Dr. Will Cole on his Dear Media podcast, The Art of Being Well, the Goop founder, 48, revealed that she recently started struggling with her metabolism and subsequent weight gain.
Ive noticed over the last couple of years my metabolism has slowed down. I know a lot of that is perimenopause, she explained. Im 48 years old and I know that women tend to lose up to 30% of their metabolic speed once we enter this phase of life ? so I know some of it is that. I think maybe some of it is because I got COVID and my physician in New York said that was affecting a lot of his patients metabolisms as well, Paltrow added. (She recently revealed that she had tested positive for COVID-19 early on last year.)
Paltrow said her ability to snap back into shape has waned. I could quickly eat really well for a couple of days and exercise a lot and [the weight] would all be gone. And that was not happening over the past year, she said. Paltrow decided to turn to her favorite bone broth diet, as well as Dr. Coles Ketotarion diet and intermittent fasting. The combination of all three has already helped her lose weight.
This has been incredible. Ive lost 11 lbs. since I started I gained a lot of weight over COVID, she said. During the podcast, she also said that after only one week of her new diet plan, she already feels amazing.
[From People]
Instead of being grateful to survive a deadly pandemic, Gwyneth is bitching about gaining weight. Instead of keeping everything in context of the losses we?ve suffered more than 500,000 Americans dead in the past year from Covid Gwyneth just yammers about her latest diet cure. And honestly, that?s all this ever was for Gwyneth. Everything about Goop and Gwyneth?s ?wellness? branding is just? repackaged Diet Culture and the normalization and monetization of disordered eating. I mean, I?ve gained weight over the past year too and I hate it, but we?ve literally survived a deadly pandemic. Every one of us knows someone who has died from this virus, and the thing that we?re not talking about enough is the collective grief and psychological trauma of the past year. But no, that?s not the kind of wellness Gwyneth wants to talk about.

Since Gwyneth Paltrow generally believes that she alone discovered-and-invented everything Asian, it?s little surprise that Gwyneth has recently revealed that she also invented mask-wearing AND Covid-19. She was catching Covid before everyone else, and she caught the virus even though she invented mask-wearing in February 2020. Gwyneth recently described her long-running symptoms from Covid, and she said that even a year later, she still has ?fatigue? and ?brain fog,? which she?s curing with a strict Keto diet mixed with fasting and infrared saunas, of course. Her comments got so much play that now an NHS chief has publicly taken Gwyneth to task for her near-constant promotion of pseudoscience.
Gwyneth Paltrow has been urged to stop spreading misinformation by the medical director of NHS England after she suggested long Covid could be treated with ?intuitive fasting?, herbal cocktails and regular visits to an ?infrared sauna?. The Hollywood star, who markets unproven new age potions on her Goop website, wrote on her latest blogpost that she caught Covid-19 early and had since suffered ?long-tail fatigue and brain fog?.
Paltrow said that after turning to the advice of a ?functional medicine practitioner?, she was told ?this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual?. She then embarked on a ?keto and plant-based? diet, involving fasting until 11am every day, ?lots of coconut aminos? and sugar-free kombucha and kimchi. Paltrow went on to recommend her brand?s Madame Ovary supplement and Seedlip, ?the incredible herbal nonalcoholic cocktails?. She added: ?I?m doing an infrared sauna as often as I can, all in service of healing.?
Paltrow also suggested there was evidence for the efficacy of such a diet. ?I?ve been doing major research and finding some great stuff to support what I?m doing,? she wrote.
However, her unproven advice prompted a stern rebuke from Prof Stephen Powis, national medical director for NHS England, who urged influencers such as Paltrow against spreading misinformation. He said: ?In the last few days I see Gwyneth Paltrow is unfortunately suffering from the effects of Covid. We wish her well, but some of the solutions she?s recommending are really not the solutions we?d recommend in the NHS.?
Powis added: ?We need to take long Covid seriously and apply serious science. All influencers who use social media have a duty of responsibility and a duty of care around that. Like the virus, misinformation carries across borders and it mutates and it evolves. So I think YouTube and other social media platforms have a real responsibility and opportunity here.?
[From The Guardian]
I mean? at this point can we just talk about Gwyneth as a complete loser? Yes, she?s rich, and yes, she peddling really dangerous pseudoscience, but mostly I just think we need to reimagine how we speak and write about Gwyneth. She sucks and she?s a loser. She?s stuck up her own ass, she has a dangerous ideology (based on an insane Diet Culture) and she says and does ?outrageous? sh-t to get attention. She?s really not all that different from some lower-tier Real Housewife. Anyway, yes, when I covered Gwyneth?s original comments, I noted how Gwyneth?s answer to every medical issue is ?go on a diet.? It makes perfect sense that her answer to inventing Covid is some kind of pseudoscientific argument for starving yourself.

Gwyneth Paltrow?s Goop has a new product: a Goop-branded vibrator. It?s already sold out, which is basically why Gwyneth spoke to the NY Times a few days ago. The interview was supposed to be Gwyneth shilling for the new Goopbrator, but she ended up bragging about how she?s always ahead of the curve on everything. Nevermind the extensive documentation vibrators and other toys have been selling out throughout the pandemic because people are stuck at home. Which would mean that Gwyneth is riding a wave, yet again, but she always believes she?s setting the trend. Let?s see if that comes up again in this NY Times piece:
What she was thinking with the Goopbrator design: ?I think we were just trying to do something ? perhaps a little more intellectual.?
New hobbies during the pandemic: ?I wouldn?t say that I developed new ones, but I?ve definitely recommitted or doubled down on some, like meditation. I do that every morning. Before, it was maybe once every couple of weeks, or maybe not at all. Also, I?m cooking all the time, like everybody else in the world.
Playing Patient Zero in Contagion: ?I remember being on set and people saying, ?This could really happen, and this will happen in our lifetime.?
Posting an Instagram in February 2020 where she wore a mask: ?This is a familiar pattern in my life. I do something early, everyone is like, ?What is she doing? She?s insane.? And then it?s adopted by the culture. I had to take this trip to France when it was all kicking off. I wore it on the plane, but I didn?t wear it to the function that I was going to, and actually ended up getting Covid and coming home, and being one of the first people that I had heard of to have it.
Whether she plans to take the vaccine: ?I still have antibodies. I want everybody else who isn?t protected to go first.
Having to pay out $145K for making dubious and false health claims: ?That was stuff that happened a number of years ago when we were still a little company curating and buying third-party brands that were making claims around their products. We?ve come a really long way from being that small start-up. Even with the Yoni eggs. That was really around claims, but it didn?t involve the product. That egg is not dangerous. We still sell it.
[From The NY Times]
My God, she?s such a douche. Shrugging off her site?s consistent pseudoscience as ?that happened a number of years ago,? like she doesn?t still host Wellness events where speakers suggest that their stickers cure cancer. And the thing about masks? once again, Gwyneth appropriates something Asian and pretends that she invented it. She did it with yoga, Korean skin care, Yoni eggs and now public mask-wearing. Japanese people and Korean people have been huge mask-wearers for years, even before the Covid pandemic. We don?t talk about that enough, how she steals Asian cultures, puts her white-woman branding on it and acts like she invented everything.

At this time last year, Gwyneth Paltrow was still traveling. We really didn?t know! I believe Gwyneth went to Europe in February 2020 to check out some of the fashion shows. Around the same time, she posted an Instagram about mask-wearing and she warned people to wash their hands. Soon after, the pandemic came to Europe and North America in a huge way. While Gwyneth still shilled her goop-branded crap, I would like to point out that at no point did Gwyneth try to sell some snake-oil cure for Covid-19. Sure, she?ll shill stickers which purportedly cure cancer, but she didn?t fk around with Covid. Gwyneth encouraged people to stay in lockdown, to wear masks, to social distance, and to take all of it seriously. As it turns out, Gwyneth still got Covid ?early on.?
Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her personal experience with the novel coronavirus. In a new post on her Goop website, the 48-year-old actress revealed that she had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog.
In January, I had some tests done that showed really high levels of inflammation in my body. So I turned to one of the smartest experts I know in this space, the functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole. After he saw all my labs, he explained that this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual, she wrote.
According to the star, she has been focusing on what she puts into her body since recovering from the virus, adhering to a flexible keto and plant-based diet and refraining from sugar and alcohol.
So Ive been cooking a lot, and some of it is really delicious: I made scallops with crispy capers and sage the other day, asparagus with bacon vinaigrette, and some little artichokes with stuffed herbs and garlic, Paltrow wrote, explaining that shes been using lots of coconut aminos in my recipes.
Paltrow also shared that shes now taking supplements in service of a healthier gut.
Everything Im doing feels good, like a gift to my body. I have energy, Im working out in the mornings, and Im doing an infrared sauna as often as I can, all in service of healing, she wrote. A side benefit is my skin, which makes me happy?and makes me want to double down on skin care even more. Lets make 2021 the year of never needing makeup, people!
[From People]
Many, many people who had serious cases of Covid report a loss of smell and taste, but Gwyneth wants us to know that she?s not like those peasants. She still has her senses, but she?s in a Covid fog and very fatigued. Which has also been widely reported this virus is exhausting and people can?t think straight. All that being said, I would be tired and foggy-brained too if I was on a Keto, plant-based diet. Of course Gwyneth Damn Paltrow is using her bout of coronavirus to go on an even stricter diet. That?s her answer for everything: go on a diet! Anyway, I do feel sorry for her a little bit. At least she wasn?t one of those people who minimized the pandemic. And? Lets make 2021 the year of never needing makeup, people doesn?t she have a makeup line? LOL.

Almost one year ago exactly, Gwyneth Paltrow introduced a new product on her Goop site: a $75 candle with an odd name. The name was so odd, Gwyneth was clearly inviting scorn and attention. The name? This Smells Like My Vagina. Since I don?t want to retype that a million times, let?s just call it the Bajingo Candle. The Bajingo Candle was overpriced and stupid and thirsty, and Gwyneth had a grand old time talking about it on various chat shows, and acting like we were all impossibly gauche and middle-class for even laughing at her dumb Bajingo Candle. Well, now Gwyneth is taking it to the next level: Exploding Bajingo Candles, so the peasants can burn down their own peasant homes.
This Gwyneth Paltrow candle didn?t pass the smell test, according to a report. A ?This Smells Like My Vagina? candle that the actress peddles on Goop exploded into flames in the living room of a UK woman who won the odoriferous product in a quiz, the Sun reported.
?The candle exploded and emitted huge flames, with bits flying everywhere,? Jody Thompson, 50, told the outlet.
?I?ve never seen anything like it. The whole thing was ablaze and it was too hot to touch. There was an inferno in the room,? the media consultant from Kilburn, North London, added.
Thompson, who lives with her partner, David Snow, said they threw the flaming candle out the front door.
?It could have burned the place down. It was scary at the time, but funny looking back that Gwyneth?s vagina candle exploded in my living room,? she said.
[From The NY Post]
The comedy, it?s not even subtle! A Bajingo Candle exploding, everything burning in a fire which was too hot to touch, they?re lucky to still have a home. I would sue. But that?s me. I would be eager to sue the fk out of Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop and I would sit there, sobbing on the stand, talking about how Gwyneth?s Bajingo Candle ruined my life. (All that being said, if you?re paying $75 for a stupid Goop candle, I dont feel sorry for you.)

I was watching my second favorite version of Emma the Gwyneth Paltrow version over the Thanksgiving holiday and I had a brief moment of remembering when Gwenth was truly the hottest young actress out there. Like, 1994 to 2004-ish, Gwyneth could get anything made, she could say yes to any script, and she was one of the most famous women in the world. She also made several good movies in that time period, and some of them were produced by Harvey Weinstein, who assaulted her in the mid-?90s. It was pretty clear that the decade of work and romantic/tabloid drama had left her burned out and needing a life re-evaluation. So she stepped away and for the past 12 years or so, she?s only really taken supporting roles here and there, minus a Country Strong (lol). In a new interview, Gwyneth talked about how burned out she was & when she knew she needed to make a change:
In a new interview on SiriusXM?s Quarantined with Bruce, the Oscar winner, 45, says she was in her mid-twenties, fresh off an Oscar win for Shakespeare in Love, when she realized she didnt love acting that much as it turns out.
I sort of felt like, well, now who am I supposed to be? she added. Like, what am I, what am I driving towards? And, and again, like this wasn?t conscious at the time, but I started to feel, and, you know, frankly, I think part of my, part of the shine of acting wore off, you know, being in such intense public scrutiny, being a kid who?s like living every breakup on every headline like being criticized for everything you do say and wear? And also, its so transitory, youre always all over. Its hard to plant roots. Like Im such a homebody, you know me, I like to be with my old friends and cook and squeeze my kids. Like I dont want to be alone in a hotel room in Budapest for six weeks. Like, its just not who I am.
If you compound those things with the fact that like, you know, to be totally candid, I had a really rough boss for most of my movie career at Miramax. Like, so you take all those things [and] youre like, ?I dont know if this is really my calling.?
[From Page Six & People]
I think Gwyneth has handled all of this the transition from actress to full-time Gooper with a decent amount of grace. It always cracks me a little bit that Gwyneth now says that OF COURSE she would never deign to do a big starring role and she waves off all of those scripts and she has done for years. When the truth is that at some point, she just wasn?t getting those scripts anymore. She was no longer the ingenue who had her pick of the best projects. Which is why she started Goop in the first place she was bored and she wasn?t working. But if she wants to tell us that it was all entirely her call, by all means. Put this on a t-shirt: ?Like I dont want to be alone in a hotel room in Budapest for six weeks. Like, its just not who I am.?

Gwyneth Paltrow has a 16-year-old daughter, Apple Martin, whom she adores. I?ve said this before, but I actually think Gwyneth is probably an okay mom? There?s the disordered eating patterns which have always concerned me about Gwyneth and what she might project onto her kids, but beyond that, I buy that Gwyneth is loving, encouraging and adoring of her pretty teenage daughter. Apparently, Gwyneth pays a lot of attention to what Apple and her friends are up to and Gwyneth is very impressed with how ?entitled? they are. It?s actually not as bad as it sounds! Gwyneth just makes everything sound awful.
Gwyneth Paltrow is impressed with the young woman her teenage daughter, Apple, is becoming ? and the Oscar-winning actress naturally has a unique way of describing how pleased she is. During a virtual appearance at the Adobe MAX conference on Wednesday, October 21, Paltrow was asked about female representation in entertainment. While noting that ?we?re laying the groundwork for the change? through movements like #MeToo and Black Lives Matter, the actress spoke highly of the ?entitlement? that her teenage daughter and her generation have that will be beneficial in the years to come.
?The patriarchy itself feels like it?s cracking and starting to embrace a much wider variety of voices and races and genders,? the Goop founder, 48, explained. ?By the time my daughter is in the workforce, those girls are not going to stand for it. When I see my daughter with her friends, they are so empowered.?
The Shakespeare in Love star continued, ?They have, and I mean this word in the best possible way, a sense of entitlement that?s beautiful. It?s not spoiled, [they] are here for what the boys are going to get too. I find it very uplifting and heartening that we all seem to be going in this direction together.?
[From Us Weekly]
My interpretation of what Gwyneth is trying to say is that Apple and her fellow youths feel they are ?entitled? to better treatment from the world as far as representation, inclusion, respect and non-toxic work environments. But of course Gwyneth makes it sound like she?s super-proud of her daughter for being so entitled. Surely a better way of saying it would be ?my daughter and her generation know their worth and they won?t settle for being treated the way my generation was treated.?
