Rihanna has obviously launched a Fenty Skin collection, which includes stuff like moisturizers and cleansers. I should be paying attention to that stuff and buying it, but I wash my face with soap (literal soap!!) and then I expect my night cream to do all of the heavy lifting. It?s? not working out completely. Like, I?m actually happy about my night cream, which I recently changed. I was using the basic-bitch Olay night cream for years and it was fine, nothing special. But in quarantine, I splurged on Olay Regenerist Night Recovery Cream and I really like it. It?s not too heavy and I feel like it?s giving me glowy skin. The problem is that I need a better eye cream though, because my dark circles are getting worse!
I have a point with all of this! Gwyneth Paltrow is more relatable to me than Rihanna in this particular instance. Rihanna is selling stuff for younger girls, Gwyneth is selling a new Goop skin line which seems to be for older gals. Gwyneth?s line is called GOOPGENES, which I suppose is supposed to be a play on ?good genes,? but all it makes me think about is that she?s just selling this to rich, bored white women and I don?t want to think race and wealth and ?genes? when I?m buying night creams. Anyway, here is Gwyneth?s somewhat relatable story:
Gwyneth Paltrow takes beauty tips from her mother. The 47-year-old actress and GOOP founder says she and her mom Blythe Danner, 77, both suffer from dry skin and Gwyneth has picked up Blythes tip of wearing night cream during the day as it is more nourishing.
I got this trick from my mom using night cream during the day; we both have dry skin, she said as she talked up her new GOOPGENES skin range. So I wanted a cream that was that nourishing, one that I could use night and day and my skin would just keep reaping the benefits.
The Iron man star then said: This one leaves my skin so soft that I just keep touching it all day. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles for sure. Its actually really a challenge to get a clean formula thats this rich and nourishing and with results like this. I love it so much.
[From The Daily Mail]
My skin changes so much depending on the season, so in winter, I definitely need some kind of recovery cream or something for day-wear. I am not above using my night cream for day-wear, but I never thought of that as a beauty hack or a trick, just a necessity. I do have an Olay day cream (Olay Regenerist Whip) which is super-light, almost too light for winter. But I don?t wear it most days! Ugh. I need to be better about all of this.

Do you remember when Gwyneth Paltrow designed, marketed and sold a candle which smelled (allegedly) like her bajingo? The candle?s actual name was This Smells Like My Vagina, and it was sold on Goop for $75. For some reason, that feels like it happened years ago, but it honestly just happened in January. And guess what, the candle sold out. Gwyneth couldn?t shut up about how she was such a punk rock feminist for naming a candle after her bajingo scent and she got a ton of free publicity and it worked. The candle sold out. Well, good news for bajingo-candle lovers, because Gwyneth?s new candle smells her big O.
Gwyneth Paltrow just loves the smell of her own scent. Tuesday on ?The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,? the Goop queen introduced the latest to her odiferous collection of candles, inspired by Paltrow?s own B.O., called ?This Smells Like My Orgasm.?
The 10.5-ounce candle costs $75 and is available on Goop?s website, alongside a colorful description: ?A fitting follow-up to that candle ? you know the one ? this blend is made with tart grapefruit, neroli and ripe cassis berries blended with gunpowder tea and Turkish rose absolutes for a scent that?s sexy, surprising and wildly addictive.? The candle, a collaboration between Goop and fragrance brand Heretic, is currently available in the US only.
As Paltrow waxed on (get it?) about her fragrant climax, her son, Moses, was apparently sitting just outside of the frame before Fallon invited him to chat. The 14-year-old son of Paltrow and her ex, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, 43, said he was playing piano and guitar in his free time.

I mean? she knows what she?s doing. She knows that by naming her candles this way, she?ll drive attention and sales to her Goop label, and so be it. Personally, I think she should go all-out with the names. I mean, it?s supposed to be punk rock and feminist, right? This Candle Smells Like My [Redacted Because I Don?t Actually Want To Type It].
I tried watching this from the beginning but the sound of her fire crackling is really loud and distracting. She talks about her optimism for the changes the Black Lives Matter movement can bring about, and Moses turns up around 2:10.

To me, Gwyneth Paltrow is the inevitable peak of white privilege, someone who was born rich and well-connected who parlayed those advantages to even greater wealth, fame and better connections. She has historically used her privilege to shill fake science to other wealthy, gullible white women. Gwyneth has done racist sh-t before too, but it?s not her ?brand.? If I?m being generous, I would say that while Gwyneth seems like she would be a total Karen, she?s more of a clueless Becky when it comes to conversations about race.
That being said, I?m all for white celebrities using their platform to do anything beyond the bare minimum. While Gwyneth was quiet for a week about the murder of George Floyd and the protests, she decided to use her Instagram to not only push back on the All Lives Matter people, but provide links to organizations doing good work. This was her message:
If you feel compelled to comment ?all lives matter? in response to this post and you?re not a bot (which you probably are), nor an agent provocateur trying to create instability and division in our country, you might want to consider that you are reacting from a blind spot of white privilege. Saying ?all lives matter? is a denial of how dangerous it is to simply live as a black person in America. ?All lives? do not live in fear of getting killed simply because of the color of their skin.

I may balk at Gwyneth?s lack of self-awareness 99% of the time, but I don?t have any problem with anything she?s doing here. It?s better than the ?blackout? posts other celebrities were doing. She highlights important work and encouraged her followers to donate. And she talked about white privilege. It?s better than most celebrities and corporations.

The entertainment industry is in shambles because of the coronavirus, and everything is being closed, suspended or cancelled. People are worried about their paychecks, how they?ll stay home with their kids, if they?ll be able to get a test if they think they have the virus. But what of the Instagram influencers, no one asks. What about these poor, talentless, laxative-shilling, spon-con pushers out there? What about THEIR income? So it is with Gwyneth Paltrow, who chose an international pandemic as the moment to shill her Goop-branded G.Label gear on Instagram. She later deleted the Insta.
Gwyneth Paltrow and her fancy Goop brand are under fire after hawking a pricey designer outfit amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Oscar winner posed in a simple white shirt, khaki skirt and sneakers for a since-deleted post on her Goop Instagram page on Friday, with the caption: ?Most days you?ll find GP wearing G.Label with a pair of sneakers?which is one reason we make it an annual tradition to put together a fresh sneaker guide each year. Get ready to cover some serious ground (run, don?t walk).?
Her fervent followers, however, were less than happy as soon as the post went up, with one writing, ?I think it?s irresponsible to post this as a world-wide pandemic is going on. You have a great platform around health. Now would be the time to expand on it.?
Another said, ?Come on goop, when you said GP, I thought at first you were referring to Dr. Please use your platform in a more sensitive way ? I really don?t think it?s the time to think about buying trainers when people are struggling to buy day to day supplies. We don?t want doom and gloom, but maybe a post on boosting your immune system, staying healthy etc??
Paltrow?s outfit was comprised of a G. Label ?Alexander? slit trouser skirt costing $450, and Alexandre Berman?s ?Clarita? sneakers at $425. Among the 145 comments on the post, another added: ?We?re in the middle of a world-wide pandemic, y?all really think anyone?s gonna buy an ugly a?s $450 skirt??
Some called the message ?tone-deaf? and ?irresponsible? as one said: ?Who would buy any clothing items now? Only making the rich richer.?
The post did follow a Goop Instagram post on staying healthy amid the global crisis, which only served to make the brand even more out of touch as another follower wrote: ?What is this BS!? accusing Goop of trying to sell ?$500 trainers that to be honest my 94-year-old grandmother wouldn?t wear.?
[From Page Six]
I?m not trying to be some kind of late-stage capitalist contrarian right now, but I don?t see a difference between what Gwyneth did versus what most major clothing companies are doing right now, which is sending out sale-emails and trying to tempt quarantined or self-isolating home-bound people to buy sh-t while they?re bored. I?ve gotten a dozen emails from Amazon, Land?s End, LL Bean, Old Navy, etc just in the past few days, all of which are offering ?free shipping? or ?30% off? or ?maybe we can tempt you with THIS!? That being said, yes, of course it?s in bad form. Because Gwyneth pretends to be something more than just Goop-branded merch. She?s also a snake-oil saleswoman who profiteers on bad science, pseudomedicine and jade vagina eggs. You would think this would be her moment to shine and shill for some hokey corona ?cures.? When you think of it that way, I?m actually glad she?s only posting sh-t about clothes.
And sh-t, this G.Label stuff is FUG.

Back in January, Gwyneth Paltrow invented stunt-queening, remember that? She started selling a candle on her Goop site, and they called the candle ?This Smells Like My Vagina.? It sold out at $75 a pop, and after all of the ?criticism,? Gwyneth pretended to act shocked or something and she claimed that the criticism was about sexism rather than the fact that she?s a total narcissist who shills jade vagina eggs and vagina candles at a huge mark-up because ?wellness.? Well, anyway, Gwyneth appeared on Jimmy Kimmel?s show this week and of course a big chunk of the conversation was about Gwyneth?s vagina candle stunt. Kimmel even said at the end that Gwyneth basically just does this sh-t to flog her crap. Some quotes from the interview:
Moses Martin isn?t embarrassed by the Goop vibrators: My son said to me the other day, he was like, First I thought it was really embarrassing that there were vibrators on your website. Now I think its a great thing. Hes like, Youre a feminist, Mom! she said. I was like, Thank you!
How the candle came to be: Douglas Little, who is the owner of Heretic perfume, were very close friends and we work together a lot. One day we were smelling different fragrances and I was joking around, and I smelled something and I said this as a joke. Then I was like, Wouldnt that be cool if someone actually had the guts to do that? What a punk rock, feminist statement to have that on your tabl. Then he made it. I thought he just made me one as a joke, but then the next thing I knew it was on my website.
The candle is meant to empower women: I think a lot of women have grown up with a certain degree of shame or embarrassment around this part.?
[Via The Daily Beast & UPI]
I mean? the idea that women are brought up to be ashamed of our bodies and our vadges is a real thing. But this is not that. Gwyneth named a candle after her vagine because she?s a narcissist and a stunt-queen. She also profits from feeding bad science, misinformation and extreme dieting to women, which is also part of the shame culture.
Around the 7:20-mark is when they start to talk about the vagina candle.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been absolutely ridiculous in the first weeks of 2020. First there was her gross ass-exposing ruffled Fendi monstrosity at the Golden Globes. Then it was the Goop candle named, I kid you not, This Smells Like My Vagina. The candle sold out (at $75 a pop) and Gwyneth got all of the headlines she wanted. This candle story is like the jade-egg-up-the-vadge story: it will always be associated with Gwyneth and it will always be brought up and joked about. But the joke?s on us, because Gwyneth just keeps ?winning.? She got more traffic on Goop, and she gets to assume an air of wounded grievance, because how dare the peasants make fun of her vagina-candle stunt-queenery?
You can sniff Gwyneth Paltrow?s vagina-scented candle ? but don?t you dare take her picture! The Goop founder kindly created a $75 candle called ?This Smells Like My Vagina? so we can all get a sniff of her special sauce (or we could if the piquant product weren?t sold out). Proving her head is also up her proverbial pudenda, Paltrow made a public presentation at the National Retail Federation at the Javits Center Tuesday and promptly threw out all fotogs so she could wax lyrical to 2,000 people about her privates with privacy.
Gwynnie blamed sexism in the business world. Using an unfortunate turn of phrase, she said, ?There are different kinds of controversy. First of all, I am a huge target because I was an actress, a very visible actress, and then I decided to be a founder and entrepreneur, and I think that really rubbed people the wrong way.? What really might have rubbed others the wrong way was that infamous jade egg incident when Goop was fined $145,000 for making ?unsubstantiated? claims the product could fix hormone levels and bladder control.
Describing such malodorous moments as ?headwinds,? she continued, ?I think people have mixed reactions to me and to all women stepping outside the box that they are very comfortable with us being in and doing something else. I have been in the public eye for a long time, and I understood that was going to be something inherent in this journey. Sometimes I think of the headwinds I?ve had to face growing this business, and then I think of some male counterparts who started businesses at the same time, and it?s pretty incredible what we?ve come up against.?
Paltrow explained how she endured controversy when they made early mistakes, but there?s also ?good controversy? ? like her vagina-scented candle ? that attracts new customers. ?If you are in the news and it?s driving traffic to your site, it?s not a bad thing.?
[From Page Six]
You know how I always joke about Gwyneth thinking she invents sh-t that?s been around forever? Like, she thinks she invented yoga, juice cleanses, extreme dieting, jade eggs, vagina candles, and cooking. Well, now it seems like Gwyneth thinks she invented stunt-queening? Like, it?s very obvious what she did: pull some manufactured-controversy (like naming a candle that) and then bitch and whine about SEXISM. Goop, we see your ass. Literally.

It felt like people legitimately gasped when Gwyneth Paltrow came onto the Golden Globes red carpet, and the gasps were not because Gwyneth looked amazing. In fact, I?m struggling to even remember a moment in the recent past when Gwyneth walked a carpet looking great. But this was something else? this was Lena Dunham-esque fashion trolling. This was ?look at me, I?m so avant-garde, you don?t even understand what I?m wearing.? Either that or Gwyneth has zero style and her stylist absolutely loathes her. Her hair stylist and makeup person must hate her too, by the way.
Gwyneth wore this Fendi gown and it was entirely inappropriate. It was completely unlined, and I feel like the matching ?panties? were sheer enough that we could make out everything too. The back view was a giant YIKES. Gwyneth probably thinks that she can wear anything off the runway, but there?s a reason why so few actresses do that most women don?t WANT their ruffled ass hanging out at the Globes.
Goop was there as executive producer on her husband?s show, The Politician, where she also has a supporting role. But she also got to present Best Supporting Actress to Laura Dern, and it was just? Peak Nemesis, or something. Ugh, I?m so mad about all of this! It drives me crazy that Gwyneth thinks her brassy blonde hair still needs a center part. Her makeup is awful too.

As you probably remember, I was weirded-out by Gwyneth Paltrow?s insistence on befriending any and every woman her ex-husband dates. I was particularly weirded out by Gwyneths seeming attempts to insinuate herself repeatedly into Chris Martin?s relationships. I get the argument that Chris and Gwyneth are on good terms, that they have two kids together and they?re co-parenting in a healthy way. But I find Gwyneth?s ?friendship? with Dakota Johnson to be unhealthy. But? someone recently said that because Dakota is third-generation Hollywood, she?s actually very much in the same ?tier? as Gwyneth, and that?s why they probably get along very well. Perhaps. I still think it?s creepy to see Gwyneth insert herself into Chris?s romantic life time after time though.
So? Dakota has joined the extended Paltow-Martin-Falchuk family for a Christmas holiday in Aspen. My guess is that Dakota probably spent a lot of time in Aspen as Melanie Griffith?s daughter and all, and maybe Dakota?s family was there too. But the paparazzi just got pics of Dakota hanging out with Chris and Apple Martin. Meanwhile, Gwyneth has been buzzing around like the Queen Bee of Aspen, and she?s been getting pap?d with Brad Falchuk. Is this the modern Hollywood family? Exes and their current partners/husbands all vacationing together in Aspen for Christmas?
Okay, so I looked it up Melanie Griffith did own a beautiful Aspen home, so Dakota definitely grew up spending holidays in Aspen. But Melanie sold her Aspen spread in March of this year. So? did Dakota spend Christmas with HER family at all? Or did she have to sit there and watch Gwyneth play Lady of the Aspen Manor?
Also: Gwyneth?s fur coat is SO ugly. Her pants are awful too. I?m sure her Aspen ensembles cost $50K though.

Gwyneth Paltrow took part in Vanity Fair?s New Establishment Summit on Tuesday. VF published quotes from the discussion on Wednesday, and here we are. Gwyneth obviously gets invited to speak at these kinds of things now because of Goop. Goop is a financial success and, I suppose, a ?branding success.? If you say something is ?Goop,? everyone knows what that means it means fake-science-y and pandering to rich women. Gwyneth chatted with Jenna Lyons about aging, Goop, and how she profits when everyone hates on her. She also made this aside about her husband Brad Falchuk and why she signed on to do The Politician: ?Hes really good in bed.? Ick. Some highlights:
On Botox & plastic surgery: ?I mean theres nothing like high def TV to make you rethink your lack of, you know, Botox? We?re living in a time where there are all these amazing things that are available to women who are aging and I?m just not sure how I feel about it yet. Ive tried like little things here and there but I haven?t felt comfortable really pursuing it. I reserve the right to do it or have a facelift or whatever at some point; Im not saying I wouldn?t but I think there is a part of me that feels conflicted on some level about it. Sometimes I see these those gorgeous, old French movie stars and they just are, and its just very sensual in a way. Its extremely empowering to just be yourself and not lose your sensuality and your, your femininity, but we?ll see. I?m not making any promises.?
Gooping since 2008: ?I thought obviously I have no authority to do anything like this and no one?s going to take me seriously. I have learned so much. And so much by making such grave mistakes that have cost millions of dollars.? She didn?t elaborate on specific mistakes, but did share that whenever the content on Goop got negative press, it eventually become a boon for the company. ?In many cases, it really benefits us because like we rank number one or two in SEO for a number of these topics that are now really super popular. Like, you know, detox and celery juice for example.?
She invented gluten-free diets: ?I mean, I wrote a gluten free cookbook like eight years ago and people wrote that Child Services should be called on me because I was starving my children. That was a good one. And you know, now gluten free is mainstream.?
Libra vibes: ?I think that you know something about me that thats gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life and also gotten me to amazing places is like, theres something inside me?maybe it?s that Im a Libra?but I was just like have to do this, I have to speak my mind. I have to speak my truth and let the chips fall where they may.?
Her Netflix show, The Goop Lab With Gwyneth Paltrow: Her employees explore ?boundary-pushing wellness topics? for a half-hour. ?We actually are just building our HR department now. But of course we have people agree and sign waivers like the staffers who went out to the field and try things. It was, it was all done properly.?
[From Vanity Fair]
How she frames the gluten-free thing is Classic Gwyneth. Once again, I?m here to provide context: originally, she said she was doing the gluten-free thing because her bones were turning to dust and she was basically malnourished, and she went doctor-shopping until someone told her to try to eliminate gluten, and she then forced a gluten-free diet on her kids. That was how she originally told the story, but of course there are other versions now, and of course she now claims to have invented gluten-free diets basically. And if she just up and eliminated gluten and made her kids go on some weird fad diet because SHE went doctor-shopping, than yes, she?s a sh-tty mother.
As for what she says about Botox and plastic surgery? it made me remember, years ago, when Gwyneth looked really Botoxy at the Oscars. Soon after, her old face came back. That makes me think that she really has experimented with fillers and Botox but not anything crazy or long-term. But yeah? I could see her getting a face lift or more significant work, and I appreciate that she?s honest about that.
And here?s her explanation (again) for how she didn?t know about her appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Gwyneth Paltrow explains how she didn?t realize she was in ?Spider-Man Homecoming?: ?When you do a Marvel movie, they don?t put the name on anything. It?s not on the script, the scenes are redacted. They think they?re the CIA.? #VFSummit pic.twitter.com/sgyRTWHI7I

Here are some photos from last night?s Elle Women In Hollywood event. Elle did multiple covers and cover stories for about a dozen women, and all of those women turned out for the event to give speeches and celebrate ladies and? get drunk, I guess. The biggest star of the evening (in her own mind) was Gwyneth Paltrow. She wore Bottega Veneta Spring 2020 a simple LBD which would be at home in Jennifer Aniston?s closet. Gwyneth apparently got drunk and admitted on stage that she was unprepared for her speech, because of course. She also called herself a ?lame old white lady.? Yeah. I won?t argue with that.
More photos? Scarlett Johansson in Tom Ford. A shockingly basic dress from Tom Ford, styled poorly by ScarJo with absolutely horrendous makeup.
Issa Rae in Ralph Lauren. Absolutely beautiful. You know me, I normally hate yellow and orange on a red carpet, but there are totally exceptions and here?s one of them.
Charlize Theron in Louis Vuitton. This is a lot of look but it sort of works. Her bad haircut looks better here too.
Margot Robbie in Ralph Lauren. It feels like two or three good dresses were jammed into one kind of boring dress. The wide cumberbund-waist thing is bad.
Zendaya in Peter Do Spring 2020. Pack it up, she?s the best dressed.
