For months now, we?ve been hearing about Gwyneth Paltrow?s desire to sign a recording contract and record a country album. For real. Because when you think ?country? you totally think of a half-Jewish, flat-ironed bottle blonde who lives in London and NYC and extols the virtues of ?must-have? $18,000 wardrobes and endless juice detoxes. That just screams ?country? to me. Anyway, from what I gather, Gwyneth made a lot of noise about wanting to record an album and several labels took the bait and offered her various contracts. Some even claimed that she was being offered a $900,000 signing deal. Now Page Six reports that Goop?s recording contract is no longer in play, and that it all came down to how BUSY she is and how she wanted so much money for the pleasure of having her deign to twang it up for us peasants:
Gwyneth Paltrow’s talks for a record deal with Atlantic Records have crumbled, sources confirmed to Page Six.
We reported in March that the “Country Strong” star was close to a deal with the label to record a country album. But a source told us, “Atlantic bosses were very interested, and [Atlantic owner] Warner chief Lyor Cohen was very supportive. But then the talks halted and the deal fizzled out. There was a rumor that Paltrow wanted $1 million to sign, but that is a ridiculous figure. Atlantic is still interested in signing her.”
It’s believed the Oscar winner was distracted by other opportunities in her busy career, including possible movie roles and her new cookbook. There’s even buzz she might turn up for a few surprise appearances on this summer’s “Glee” tour.
Paltrow’s rep told us, “Atlantic was not the only company pursuing her, and she still has not decided if she wants to record an album,” adding, it “is still something she is considering.”

Classic Goop with her rep?s line, right? ?Atlantic was not the only company pursuing her, and she still has not decided if she wants to record an album.? Meaning, ?Everybody wants Gwyneth, because she?s so fabulous and important and such an amazing singer and people are just WAITING IN LINE to hear some of her goopy lyrics, but she is still undecided as to whether those peasants are important enough.?
At the end of the day, I just hate her voice. I hate her speaking voice and her singing voice. While technically she?s a half-decent (but not great) singer, you can tell that she thinks she?s super-talented vocally, like she?s a blonder, skinnier, more important Adele. And THAT is pathetic. Here are some Classic Goop performances. That Glee clip makes me want to gouge out my eardrums.

Kicking off the week with a promotional appearance, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted at the Chelsea Flower Show Press and VIP Day today (May 23).
The ?Country Strong? songstress looked to be in good spirits as she posed for pictures at the B&Q stand in London, England, sporting a white jacket, khaki trousers and brown high-heeled sandals.
As for the previous reports that Gwyn was likely to sign a record deal, it seems things aren?t going to work out.
An insider told press, ?Atlantic bosses were very interested, and [Atlantic owner] Warner chief Lyor Cohen was very supportive. But then the talks halted and the deal fizzled out. There was a rumor that Paltrow wanted $1 million to sign, but that is a ridiculous figure. Atlantic is still interested in signing her.?

Gwyneth Paltrow covers the new issue of Bon Appetit, because, you know, she?s a master chef now. The photo shoot is okay - it looks a lot like the one she did with Vogue last year, only there?s less WHITE. Gwyneth looks colorful and healthy, like she isn?t racked with vitamin deficiency and bird-like bones. I do like that she?s biting her lip on the cover. It reminds me of Kristen Stewart. It also makes it seem like Gwyneth is just about to laugh at all of us for almost buying her ?I?m one of you, I can act like a peasant too? act. She?s having a giggle because she thinks she?s pulled it off. You can read the full article here, and see the slideshow (of Dame Goop cooking) here. Here?s an excerpt from the article:
She’ll tell you herself: She’s not Wonder Woman. “Don’t know how that rumor got into the papers,” she says of the magazine project. “It could not be further from the truth. I literally do not have time to bathe let alone start a magazine.”
Oh, yeah?time. That can be hard to find when you’re raising two kids and your husband, Chris Martin, is the lead singer in one of the world’s biggest bands, Coldplay. (Martin makes a brief appearance during the shoot post-morning workout, breezing into the kitchen amid the lights and stylists to crank up a purple energy shake in the family’s Vitamix blender.)
As a cook, Paltrow has vacillated between obsessively health-minded and just-like-the-rest-of-us indulgent, finally settling somewhere in the sensible middle. When her father, the late Bruce Paltrow, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1998, she immersed herself in research of all things good for you, hoping, as she writes in her book, to heal her dad: “Of course I couldn’t cure him, but I found that my body felt really good.” She ended up going vegan for several years?that is, until she became pregnant, at which point grilled cheese and Baskin-Robbins Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream won out. When she began raising her children, Apple and Moses, she wanted them to eat well and enjoy food. “Could I use some butter and cheese and eggs in my cooking without going down some kind of hippie shame spiral?” she writes. “Yes, I could.”
Few of Paltrow’s recipes?which she develops with her kitchen assistant Julia Turshen, whom she credits prominently in her book?are what you’d call complex. And that’s by design. There’s a fresh simplicity to them; they’re healthy-ish without being preachy. In the book, for instance, she gives a great recipe for an oyster po’boy, but also provides a vegan option. And she has recipes for dishes like roasted fish with salsa verde, chicken and dumplings, and spaghetti alle vongole. If you like Jamie Oliver or the River Cafe cookbooks, My Father’s Daughter will speak to you.
What’s most engaging about Paltrow’s recipes is that there’s usually a reason and a story behind each. “It’s how I think as a cook,” she says while slicing grilled chicken breasts on the bias, just like a catering chef. “I wouldn’t say I’m a very original thinker, but if I have a good experience with something, I’ll want to take it further or adapt it in some way. I’m not going to be doing molecular gastronomy; I’m a wife and a mom and a home cook.”
The only request Paltrow makes during the shoot is that it wrap by 3:00 p.m. so she can pick up her kids from school. At 2:58, we get the last shots of her. A few minutes later she reappears in beat-up jeans and a snug leather jacket, having transformed from cover girl to concerned mom. “You guys aren’t going to let all this food go to waste, are you?” she asks the crew as she gathers up the chicken breasts and slides them into a mega Ziploc bag.
“Make sure you take some home with you. Okay,” she says on her way toward the front door. “I gotta go! Gotta get the kids.” And that’s it. School’s out, shoot’s over. And the chicken is delicious.

Several things surprised me in the article. One, Chris Martin made an appearance, and he didn?t come across like a curmudgeon who despises his wife. Although? you notice that Chris isn?t eating what Goop is cooking, right? Ha. Two, Dame Goop didn?t name-drop anyone. It?s been so long since I?ve read an interview with her where she didn?t toss in a ?My best friend Beyonce loves my spinach puree with sapphire truffle oil, but my dearest fishmonger told me that that I was the only one who could properly do the halibut with crme d?baby seal, which is what I did for my amazing friends Bill Gates and those Chilean miners.?

Gwyneth Paltrow just doesn?t understand how there are people in the world who weren?t born with famous parents, who didn?t exploit their family connections to get a head start, and have the world handed to them at an early age. She thinks everyone is like her, making millions of dollars for a few days of work here and there. She thinks everyone is just waiting - holding our breath - just wishing that a few more morsels of snotty perfection would fall from her elegant mouth, gracing us with her brilliant advice. So Gwyneth - who is likely a functioning alcoholic, in my opinion - decided to deign to give the peasants hangover advice. For real!
Perhaps Gwyneth Paltrow can teach the Jersey Shore cast a thing or two.
In an interview with England’s Closer magazine, the 38-year-old Oscar winner — who’s a big fan of Guinness beer and red wine — says she rarely gets sick after a night of too much drinking.
The reason? “I have a great hangover cure,” she explains. “I take a cold shower in the morning and then I go into the sauna and drink a lot of water throughout the day. Green tea also helps!”
The actress, who wed Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in 2003, adds that she’s a lot more fun than people give her credit for.
“The biggest misconception about me is that I am uptight,” she shrugs. “I don’t know why that exists, but I hope if people watch Glee that maybe they will develop a different impression of me.”
[From Us Weekly]
You know Gwyneth isn?t talking about a sauna at your gym, either. She?s talking about her own private sauna, in her home. Because that?s what she recommends - first, build a multi-million dollar home with a built-in sauna for hangovers, THEN you can drink. More from Goop:
?What also helps me when I?m feeling a little spotty - as they say in my home, the greatest city in the world, London - is to rub diamonds on my body. Ten carats or greater - small, peasant diamonds won?t help, that?s what my deal friend Queen Rania told me. Or was it Deepak Chopra? No, it was Yoko Ono. I also find it terribly useful to just go ahead and schedule The Peacock Colonic. Have you never heard of that? Oh, I forgot, it?s a elite-members-only perk at The Platinum Rich People?s Club. The Peacock Colonic is where they stick foie gras, peacock tears and cavier up your bum and? well, it?s too difficult to explain. But it?s worth every farthing of the 5000 Euros! Nelson Mandela recommended it to me over a dinner of veal with gold leaf and Portobello mushrooms soaked in Genghis Khan?s genetically reimagined blood. Delicious! Anyway, I must be off. I?m planning a dinner for Beyonce, my new best friend President Hu Jintao and Thomas Pynchon, who just called and told me that he thought my cookbook was the best-written piece of literature, ever.?

It?s super-slow today, which is why I?m doing a non-story about Gwyneth Paltrow. I got on tip on my Twitter a few days ago that Gwyneth Paltrow was back in London, out-shining Kate Middleton with her grace and class and shiny hair. Gwyneth appeared on a BBC weekend show, Something for the Weekend, and she was apparently insufferable, like always. There was this minor story which came out of the interview:
Gwyneth Paltrow has put off pursuing a theatre role to focus on motherhood.
The Shakespeare In Love star longs to tackle a part on Broadway or in London’s West End but she has delayed her dream because of her commitment to daughter Apple, six, and five-year-old son Moses, her kids with rocker husband Chris Martin.
Speaking on U.K. TV show Something For The Weekend, she says, “Yes, I’d love to (appear in a musical theatre role). But not right now. My kids are still at that age where I want to be home for bedtime and on weekends and if you do a play you’re out when they’re home. So it doesn’t make sense now, but maybe, someday.”
[From Contact Music]
I remember that before she had kids, Gwyneth did do a play in London (Proof, I believe), but I guess she?s talking about musical theatre in this interview. But now we know - we can look forward to seeing Dame Goop on the stage when little Apple and Moses are teenagers, probably. In this same interview, Dame Goop also deigned to confirm that she will likely appear in both Iron Man 3, and The Avengers (which is like the ?best of? all of the comic super-heroes). Gwyneth said: ?I’ll probably be in Iron Man 3. I’ll possibly be very briefly in The Avengers. Maybe, we’ll see.? If that?s not enough, Gwyneth is also going to be making some appearances on this summer?s Glee tour. Because she just has to be at home with her kids all the time! That?s why she?s everywhere lately. Look, I’m not judging, but she can’t have it both ways, can she? Miss Perfect “I Do Everything For My Children, Always” and “I’m so in demand, this book tour is so grueling!”

We?re going to be doing a TON of posts about the Met Gala today, because there are so many good photos of major celebrities dressed insanely, so it should be a good day. Here are some of the first photos that jumped out at me - two smug, snotty bitches buddying up on the Met Gala red carpet. Gwyneth Paltrow wore an off-white, long-sleeved Stella McCartney with a thigh-high slit, and Lea Michele wore red strapless Escada.
I have to say this - this is one of the prettiest I?ve ever seen Lea Michele look. I mean, she?s not GODDESS DIVA FABULOUS, but this red suits her coloring beautifully, the hair is good, and while the whole ?strapless red gown for a red carpet? is rather Fashion 101, it still manages to look individual and pretty. Lea is a TV Girl - it?s nice that she went with ?a look that worked? rather than ?a look that screams ?I AM HIGH FASHION??.
Meanwhile, I kind of hate Gwyneth?s Stella dress. I thought it was Michael Kors, first of all, because Kors did this sillhouete? a decade ago. Gwyneth should remember, because she wore those Kors dresses back then. This is not helping Gwyneth look any less dated and out of touch, you know?

Coach is the latest handbag company to hitch its wares to a celebrity endorser, choosing Gwyneth Paltrow as the new face of its brand. The Daily Mail says:
The mother-of-two, who was confirmed as the brand’s new face this morning, will appear in ads from August across Asia and Europe.
A statement from the company revealed that the campaign images had already been shot on a Manhattan rooftop by top fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh.
Ms Paltrow said in the release: ‘I grew up in New York City and I’ve always thought of Coach as the quintessential New York brand. I’ll never forget my first Coach bag – I’m so proud to be part of their 70th anniversary celebration.”
I heard Cate Blanchett was supposed to be the new spokesperson for Coach, but Harvey Weinstein threatened to unleash his dark army unless Gwyneth Paltrow was named the patron saint of the high-end proletariat handbag. Certainly wouldn’t be this first time it had happened.

This week, I was certain that I was going to be doing at least two royal stories a day, until Friday, which will be a huge royal coverage blowout. But I was wrong to think that, because we are still in the midst of Gwyneth Paltrow?S MEDIA SPECTACULAR, which is rapidly becoming way more important than any poppycock royal wedding, right? Gwyneth is better than some would be Lady Crumpets Middleton. Gwyneth is America?s Princess, deigning to speak down to all of us. So, in the same day we hear about Gwyneth?s new gig as the face of peasant handbags, we also get this gem. Gwyneth on Chelsea Lately. Ugh. Those two are perfect for each other:
Good God. Why do we have to listen to how Gwyneth is so tired and she?s been working so hard? She?s done some interviews and THREE book signings in two weeks. Some people could have knocked that out in one day, you know?
But know everybody is talking about how Gwyneth called her grandmother a Real C-U-Next-Tuesday. Gwyneth says, ?She just hated my guts, basically, and she tried to poison my mother against me. But it didn?t work? she was just tough. You look back and think, she must not have been very happy and she must have had a lot of pain because she was as mean as hell.” So? basically, Gwyneth?s grandmother WINS in the end because she saw the little snotty Goop seedling and Grammy Mutti said to herself, ?When that child grows up, she?s going to be the most insufferable woman the world has ever known.? The prophesy has been fulfilled, Grammy Mutti.

She continues to expand her resume, and the latest title for Gwyneth Paltrow is brand ambassador for the new Coach international campaign.
The ?Shakespeare in Love? star will appear in a print, digital, and outdoor ad series shot by Peter Lindbergh to debut this fall and next spring.
Paltrow told press, ?I grew up in New York City and I?ve always thought of Coach as the quintessential New York brand. I?ll never forget getting my first Coach bag.?
Reed Krakoff, the president and executive creative director for Coach says he chose Gwyn because she was ?a natural choice.?She embodies the spirit, energy and elegance of the Coach brand.?

Oh, come all ye peasants, and gather round, for our Peasant Ambassador has an announcement! Dame Gwyneth Paltrow has been named the new face of Coach! How? gauche. She used to be the face of Tod?s, for the love of God. At least when she represented Tod?s, she knew that a peasant would have to shell out four-figures to buy one of her recommended purses. But Coach? Some of those things go for a peasant-friendly $100. GASP. And some are made from (EEK!) nylon. Oh, how the mighty Goop has fallen.
From ?Glee? cameos to penning a cookbook and launching a career in country music, Gwyneth Paltrow is clearly looking to cultivate a wider audience and her latest move fits that bill. Coach Inc. confirmed that Paltrow will also serve as a brand ambassador for the international campaign to mark its 70th anniversary this fall and next spring.
Shot by Peter Lindbergh on a Manhattan rooftop, the print, digital and outdoor ads will only be used for select markets in Asia and Europe, including France, Spain, the U.K., Portugal and China.
?I grew up in New York City and I?ve always thought of Coach as the quintessential New York brand,? Paltrow said. ?I?ll never forget getting my first Coach bag.?
The images will break in international September books. Coach?s president and executive creative director Reed Krakoff called Paltrow, who in the past played model for Tod?s and Christian Dior, ?a natural choice.?She embodies the spirit, energy and elegance of the Coach brand,? he said.

?I grew up in New York City and I?ve always thought of Coach as the quintessential New York brand?I?ll never forget getting my first Coach bag.? Ugh. Gwyneth continued, ?My frist Coach bag was given to me by my spiritual advisor/admirer when I was six years old. I asked my father, ‘What is this tacky thing?’ And he said, ‘Don’t worry, my beloved, we’ll bedazzle this junk with rubies and diamonds, so it will be worthy of you.’ So that was my first Coach bag, and it’s so bonkers (as they say in cultured London), as I was just telling my best friend Beyonce the other day, ?Isn?t it funny that poor people can?t afford Hermes?? And Bey said, ?You should do something about that, love. People need you to speak out on this issue!? So I asked for counsel from my bestie Deepka Chopra and he said ?You, my dear Gwyneth, would be a good fit for Kate Spade.? Isn?t that brilliant? But Madame Spade and I talked about it as we were making caviar meringues, and we decided it wouldn?t be the best fit. Finally, my dear best friend the Dali Lama called me on my rotary and said, ?I?ve got it, dear princess, you shall be the face of Coach!? And so it all happened for me, because everything is always about me!?
