Hoping to clear up her image of being a self-important, uptight bitch, Gwyneth Paltrow reveals that people misunderstand and hate her because she’s a hard worker and you’re a fat, lazy pig, and you’re just jealous.Digital Spy says,
In an interview with PopEater, the County Strong actress claimed that many people are annoyed by her because she is driven and always strives for perfection in her daily life, characteristics which are easy to internalise as a criticism on their own lives.
“I think there’s a part of me that because I think I do a lot, I think my work ethic is the reason why I’m successful. I think that a lot of people don’t want to put in effort and it’s easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out,” she explained.
“[They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that. Everything in my life that’s good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it. I also think, for example, like, Mario Batali used to make fun of me all the time if I had soy milk in my coffee or if I was doing a cleanse or something. He used to grill me like, ‘Oh what are we eating? Squeezed out asparagus and seaweed?’ And now he’s the one doing a cleanse and having almond milk.”
However, she insisted that she does not hold others to the same rigid standards by which she lives, adding: “I think people mistake me trying to be the best version of myself for me telling them you’re not, or they just think, ‘Well, what does that make me then, you annoying f**king person on the soapbox?’
“But I can’t please everybody. All I can do is focus on the people who seem to appreciate what I do and put into the world. I’ll just do what I’m doing because we live in a world now where everybody is able to express their opinion.”
Oh yeah. She beat the overwhelming odds of making it as a A-lister by sheer talent and unrelenting hard work. Not because her mom’s a well-known actress and her dad’s a movie and TV director and producer. I’m glad we cleared that up.

She's a woman of many talents, and earlier today (April 20) Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on "The Rachael Ray Show" to dish up yet another one, cooking!
The busy mother of two took to Rachael's set to debut her cookbook, "My Father's Daughter," which is a tribute to time she spent around the dinner table with her family while she was growing up.
While situated in the kitchen, Gwyneth showed off one of her favorite meals - a delicious fried zuchinni spaghetti concoction.
Paltrow earned rave reviews from Rachael, who called her cookbook "incredibly charming," and revealed that the recipes were "beautiful, clean, easy and accessible."

Gwyneth Paltrow is just now realizing how much ?work? it is to promote a book. It?s not just showing up to places wearing something cute! She actually has to sit there and interact with peasants, signing their precious copies of her gorgeous, elite musings! These are photos of Gwyneth at a book signing in New York on Friday. Her dress is Vionnet - even though I can hate on Gwyneth for nearly anything, this dress is pretty cute on her. It?s too short for a book signing, but whatever. She has nice legs that she obsesses over every minute of every day, so why not show them off? Anyway, these photos of Gwyneth are pretty good. The photographers didn?t catch her making any ?Dear God, ARE THE PEASANTS WEARING SWEATPANTS?!?!?? faces.
In case you were wondering what perfect, gorgeous prose came out of Gwyneth?s enslavement to her own perfection, here?s a video that?s been going around - it?s a dramatic reading of some passages from the cookbook:
Perfect. Dame Gwyneth would approve.
By the way, Goopy also had to go BEYOND Manhattan to promote her book. No, not Brooklyn. NEW JERSEY. Oh, Goopy. You know that when she was told to do a signing in Jersey, she had a moment where her soul wept. But she carried on, because the New Jersey peasants also deserved the benefit of her magnificent wisdom. I love that she even tried to fit in with the peasants by wearing something she thought they would appreciate - jeans. Here are the photos from her Saturday New Jersey signing? the bitch looks terrified to be amongst the Jersey masses. You know she asked her publisher to have the chopper on standby.

Plugging away at her book promotions, Gwyneth Paltrow attended another signing in New York City on Friday (April 15).
The ?Country Strong? babe looked gorgeous while signing copies of her cookbook ?My Father?s Daughter? at the Williams-Sonoma located in Columbus Circle.
In other news, Paltrow is featured on the cover of Self Magazine?s May issue and revealed that even she has to work for her bodacious body.
"I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom. But my trainer, Tracy Anderson, completely changed my legs, butt, arms and stomach. I feel better than ever, too."
Of her workout schedule, Gwyn explained, "I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I'm prepping for something or I've been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks."

This photo, above, is maybe one of my favorite photos of Gwyneth Paltrow ever. I want to know what that expression is. My interpretation: ?OH NOES! PEASANTS!!!? CB and I talked about doing a caption contest for it. You guys can help yourselves if you?d like!
Anyway, these are some new photos of Madame Goop yesterday, at a ?book signing, for peasants? in which Goop looked kind of rough and she deigned to meet some designated members of Her Public. I know we?ve been doing a lot of Gwyneth stories lately, but in our defense, The Insufferable One has been all over the place lately to promote her book, and nearly every elitist, verbal morsel that deigns to fall out of Our Queen?s lips is too delicious to pass up. Over the past few days we?ve covered her Self cover, and her interview in USA Today. We all had a good time laughing at her (because we are peasants and do not fully understand her), but now something has changed.
What has changed, you may ask. I shall tell you, my peasant friends. Remember how earlier this week, the news came out that Gwyneth was going to be appearing on Glee yet again? Only this time, she was going to be covering? Adele. Here?s the song, as song by Adele:
Beautiful, right? Gorgeous voice, soulful, sad, chill-inducing with raw emotion, beauty and authenticity. Take a moment and enjoy it, because Adele is just that amazing. And because in about 30 seconds, you?re going to have a rage stroke. Here?s Gwyneth covering the Adele song:
Nasal, contemptuous, horrible. Gwyneth sang a gorgeous song like she was doing Katy Friggin? Perry. I want to slap the hell out of Gwyneth and scream ?Your voice is not as strong as you think it is! STFU!!!?
Oh, but that?s SO not all. Gwyneth also gave a nauseatingly smug interview to PopEater yesterday. You can read the whole thing here, but here are some of my favorite (insufferable) parts:
On the rumors she?s boning Matthew Morrison & starting a food magazine: ?Matthew’s become a really good friend of mine. It’s funny the press like to write things. They say I’m starting a food magazine, but it’s like the truth is I don’t have time to get a blow dry, how am I going to start a food magazine? It’s like I was out, I was out at a dinner with six people. They have to fill up all these pages. You know what? You’ll see me out for dinner with Matt Morrison again, he’s a great friend. I adore him. You have to just live your life.?
On why she thinks some people hate her: ?My theory is twofold. I think there’s a part of me that because I think I do a lot, I think my work ethic is the reason why I’m successful. I think that a lot of people don’t want to put in effort and it’s easier to not change, not do something good for you, not work on your relationship, not make yourself a meal, not work out. [They're just] pissed off at someone else doing that. Everything in my life that’s good is because I worked my ass off to get it and to maintain it. I also think, for example, like Mario Batali used to make fun of me all the time if I had soy milk in my coffee or if I was doing a cleanse or something. He used to grill me like, “Oh what are we eating? Squeezed out asparagus and seaweed?” And now he’s the one doing a cleanse and having almond milk. I think people mistake me trying to be the best version of myself for me telling them you’re not, or they just think well, what does that make me then, you annoying f**king person on the soapbox. But I can’t please everybody, all I can do is focus on the people who seem to appreciate what I do and put into the world. I’ll just do what I’m doing because, especially now, we live in a world now where everybody is able to express their opinion.?
More about her haters: ?It’s a projection. Sometimes if I hear of something really unkind or somebody’s really misunderstood me or something like that for a second I’ll be like, “Oooh wow that hurt,” but almost immediately I’ll be like, “poor guy.” What state are they in that they’re seeing that or projecting that.?
PopEater calls her perfect: ?It’s funny because I’m so not. Of course, some of it is luck. My parents had money and they sent me to a good school, but it’s like, what do you choose to do with that? You can rely on that and not do anything with it or you can say, “How am I going to justify that good fortune? How am I going to say my parents didn’t waste their money on me?” I just think I’m really all about hard work and I honestly feel like anyone can have or do what they want as long as they put their mind to it.?
[From PopEater]
So, in case you needed a reminder, every time you have a giggle about what a smug, insufferable cold fish Gwyneth is, she feels sorry for you and your small, imperfect peasant life. Speaking of making fun of her, she?s getting really good at dodging and talking around questions about her marriage, right? I also love how one second she?s talking about HARD she works and how grueling it all is and how peasants don?t understand how she suffers, and the next minute she?s reminding us of the privileged life she?s lived and how she?s never really struggled for anything. Stick to a talking point for us dumb peasants, Goop.

Stepping out for an exciting event, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted at her very own book signing at Barnes & Noble in New York City on Thursday (April 14).
The ?Shallow Hal? babe looked cute in leather pants, flats, a multi-colored top and cardigan sweater as she sat down to sign copies of her cookbook, ?My Father?s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness.?
To launch her book, Gwyn recently threw a soiree in a West Village apartment in the Big Apple - during which she catered and cooked for over 60 people.
One of the party-goers included model Christy Turlington, who gushed about Paltrow by telling press, "Everybody who's in her life knows that she's an amazing cook. There's not a lot that she can't do, which I think is pretty clear from all of her work."

Another day, another ongoing Goop travesty. Why is it All Goop, All The Time lately? Don?t say it?s because she?s promoting her cookbook, because Goop has been all over the place for MONTHS. My take is that she just really, really wants to be seen as a super-A-list, in-demand celebrity again. She wants the best scripts, she wants Goop supporters lining the streets demanding her precious vocals, she wants the world to shudder at her ever goopy word, she wants attention and validation. Perhaps because she?s not getting it at home? Perhaps.
Anyway, Goop covers the new issue of Self Magazine. Now that I?m reading the interview excerpts and looking at the budget, peasant photo shoot - Goop scantily-clad, showing off her toned body against a bright white background - I?m wondering why it took Goop so long to do these kinds of health-fitness-type magazine covers. She?s in her favorite zone: she gets to talk about herself and how everything revolves around her (of course), she gets to exhaustively discuss her beloved juice fasts (her insipid, elitist constipation), and she gets to condescend to everyone about her magnificent self-obsession and superficiality. Because Gwyneth only cares what?s on the outside.
On her challenge areas:
“My butt! My butt, butt, butt. When Tracy met me, she said that I had a long, square butt that she was going to redesign, and I was, like, “Yeah? Good luck.” The amazing thing is, she was right! And it’s still changing!”
How she stays sane about her body:
“I’ve found what works for me. I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I’m good. If I’m on vacation and, like, “F— it, I’m not working out,” I know what to do when I get back. A lot of women think, “Oh, my God, I could never get there,” but I don’t think that’s true. It’s simply relative to how much you put into it.”
How consistent she stays, foodwise:
“I say I always eat right, but last night, I had fried clams, pasta with duck sausage and two glasses of red wine. When I want to lose, I eat less pasta, bread and potatoes. Before last year’s Iron Man 2 premiere, I did green juices and salads for three days.”
Gwyneth’s fitness secret:
“I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat. I also try for 45 minutes of muscular structure work, which is toning, realigning and lengthening. If I’m prepping for something or I’ve been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks.”
[From Self/Huffington Post]
?A long, square butt?? Gwyneth is so special, her ass isn?t even a normal shape. Take that, peasants, with your dumb, peasanty round butts!
By the way, you know what I think about when I see photos of Goop barely clothed? I think about how strange it is that she?s so utterly unsexy. Of course, there are times when I actually find her pretty, and there are many times when I admire how hard she works on her body, and what great shape she?s really in, but at the end of the day, I think the biggest problem may be that no one actually looks at her and thinks ?Beautiful, sexy, admirable woman.? We look at her and think, ?Wow, it took a lot of time, a lot of juice fasts and a lot of self-obsession to look like that. She must be really boring in real life.?
Another observation: Gwyneth is stuck in the 1990s, when she was at the height of her fame. That’s when she stopped growing as a person, that’s where she is mentally, and that’s why she’s still flat-ironing her hair and parting it down the middle. She’s incredibly dated, emotionally and physically.
Let?s see, other Goop news? Dame Gwyneth invited the New York Times to her ?dinner party? in which she prepared food for 60 people? all by herself! Go here to read the article, and here for Lainey?s coverage of it. Also, there was an odd piece in People Magazine this morning - it?s all about this dinner party too, but then there?s this odd little aside where People Mag asks Gwyneth if her family ever cooked her and she says, ?Never. Not once.? People: Not even a bowl of cereal for breakfast? “No,” she said. Yeah? Gwyneth is really sad. She is a sad person, and I feel bad for her. But she doesn?t want my pity, because she is so much better than me, and obviously, she has pity for ME because I?m such a peasant. It?s an odd conundrum.

Oh, happy day. You lucky bitches get TWO posts about Dame Gwyneth today. CB already covered some of the Goop stuff earlier today - Gwyneth talking about how much she works out while quietly judging you for not working out two hours every day while maintaining an 800 calorie diet (seriously, that?s the Tracy Anderson Method). I?ve just been watching Gwyneth?s appearance on Good Morning America, and rolling my eyes. My absolutely favorite part is the beginning where GMA compiled all of Gwyneth?s awards show singing appearances and it was like the producers were totally passive aggressive and chose the worst pieces to clip together. Hilarious. Take it away, GOOP!
I always forget how terrible her voice is. Like, her speaking voice. When I?m reading an interview with her or something, I can recall her snotty, annoying voice, but for some reason, the memory of it isn?t as bad as the reality of it. And of course her Very Dear Friend Mario Batali had to give her a little introduction. Dame Gwyneth thinks she?s winning us over. She thinks she?s the Kate Middleton of America (And Britain! And Spain!).
In other Goop news, she just gave an interview to USA Today (via Yahoo) to promote her book. It?s kind of epic? the piece is called ?Gwyneth Paltrow thinks she is ?deeply flawed??. Like, ZOMG BREAKING NEWS!!!!! Eat this up, peasants:
The 38-year-old actress - who has children Apple, six, and Moses, five, with husband Chris Martin - claims she is too much of a perfectionist and considers herself a “normal mother” like any other parent with a career.
She said: “One of my most negative qualities is the perfectionism that I have, and I think that I unconsciously project that because it comes from self-doubt and insecurity and that’s the ironic part. I’m so deeply flawed. I’m just a normal mother with the same struggles as any other mother who’s trying to do everything at once and trying to be a wife and maintain a relationship. There’s absolutely nothing perfect about my life, but I just try hard.”
The blonde beauty was once famous for her strict food regime, following a macrobiotic diet - focusing on grains and local vegetables while avoiding processed items - but she has now relaxed and admits her old eating habits now seem “alien” to her.
She added: “I haven’t been macrobiotic in seven years, so it seems sort of foreign at this point. Although, a lot of the principles, like trying to eat whole foods and homemade foods and local foods and seasonal foods, that’s still very much a part of the way I think about food.”
Gwyneth is releasing her own cookbook, entitled ‘My Father’s Daughter’, which is inspired by the meals she enjoyed with her late father Bruce Paltrow and she promises the recipes are ideal for family life.
She said in an interview with the USA Today newspaper: “It’s American family food; it’s very accessible and easy to make. It’s mostly on the healthier side, although there are definitely some guilty pleasures in there.”
[From USA Today via Yahoo]
What?s with all of these women claiming to be ?perfectionists? lately? Emma Watson did it too - Emma dropped out of college because she was so ?perfectionist? and now Gwyneth is giving the same excuse (in a ham-fisted way) for explaining why she?s such pretentious, sanctimonious bitch. But seriously, analyze this statement: ?One of my most negative qualities is the perfectionism that I have, and I think that I unconsciously project that because it comes from self-doubt and insecurity and that’s the ironic part.? First: She?s only ironically perfect! Second: I think she?s trying to say that she tries to come across as so (ironically) perfect because she?s deeply insecure? Really, Goop? Or is it that you suffer from hyper-narcissism and you just pretend to be ?flawed? because you think more peasants will buy your book? Oh, Goop. You are a riddle wrapped in enigma, covered in pretension, dipped in sanctimony, left out to dry on the rack of inanity and then packaged in vitamin deficiency.

Surprising news alert: Gwyneth Paltrow is “deeply flawed.” As if at a job interview, Gwyneth claims one of her biggest negative qualities is her perfectionism which is brought on by self-doubt and insecurity.
?I’m so deeply flawed. I’m just a normal mother with the same struggles as any other mother who’s trying to do everything at once and trying to be a wife and maintain a relationship. “There’s absolutely nothing perfect about my life, but I just try hard.”
She added: “I haven’t been macrobiotic in seven years, so it seems sort of foreign at this point. Although, a lot of the principles, like trying to eat whole foods and homemade foods and local foods and seasonal foods, that’s still very much a part of the way I think about food.?
So you see, Gwyneth Paltrow is like every other woman just trying to make a life in this crazy world. Apart from those millions of dollars, movie and book deals and famous singer husband, she’s just like us! But not too like us. That would be gross.
