Here are more photos from the LA premiere of Avengers: Endgame. They?ve been doing smaller premieres and screenings around the world for weeks now, but the LA premiere last night was the first and only event for the entire cast and every member of the Marvel franchises in total. Endgame really does spell the END for many beloved characters. I would assume Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are not coming back ever again? Gwyneth Paltrow came out for what is probably her last Marvel event. She wore a G. Label tuxedo minidress which showed off her legs and hid her neck. The neck bow is too large and puffy and it makes her look like she?s wearing a black neck brace. Otherwise, she looks good? Her hair is okay.
Benedict Cumberbatch looks AWFUL these days. He recently shaved his head and it looks like he lost weight and he just looks terrible. Sophie Hunter knows it too.
Brie Larson in Celine. I mean? it?s a shiny satin and taken with her cheap-looking dye job, she looks sort of like a game show hostess. It?s just very dated, and she could do so much better.
Danai Gurira in hot Pink great color for her and you can tell she was feeling it.
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey. Tony Stark has made RDJ a rich man, but I suspect he?s happy to be done with this.
Zoe Saldana in Givenchy. The color is great but the dress sucks. She loves some weird sh-t though.
Bradley Cooper didn?t come with Irina Shayk OR Lady Gaga, lmao. He flew solo.

One of the dumbest brags employed by Gwyneth Paltrow consistently over the years is that she never came from a divorced family. She treats the reality of divorce as some kind of personal failure on the part of every divorced person, and she also speaks of divorce like it?s a disease, or a virus or something, rather than just something that happens and something not

I?ve believed for a long time now that Goop, as a business, is merely targeting Gwyneth Paltrow as a consumer. Goop is what happens when you live inside your own ass, like Gwyneth. It?s not that Gwyneth Paltrow is consciously making the decision to target rich white women with pseudoscience. It?s that Gwyneth genuinely believes in pseudoscience, just like she genuinely believes that she?s NOT selling snake oil and expensive feelings to rich bitches. Gwyneth Paltrow started a business which targets Gwyneth Paltrow as a consumer. Gwyneth sat down with the New York Times for a long-winded interview about Goop and this piece just serves as another reminder that Gwyneth is the worst. She really believes in all of the fake corporate buzzwords. She talks absolute nonsense about feminine versus masculine business energies. And once again, she claims that the tenets of wellness expensive feelings, whole foods, time and money are all free. You can read the full piece here. Some highlights:
Her start as an actress: ?My first purview of management was on set, because ? and I think other female actors would agree with me ? part of your role is just to sort of maintain culture. We?re female. So we are kind of channeling the energy for the set and correcting imbalances. If there was ever any discord, especially between men, I felt it was my job to sort of balance the energy a little bit. Also, as in most industries, it?s predominantly male. Sometimes you would be the girl in a male cast, and could bring femininity and temper some of the male stuff.
Learning how to run a business: ?When a start-up starts, it?s full of feminine energy, even if it?s an all male start-up. Right? Because it?s collaborative, it?s emotional, it?s passionate, it?s instinctual. Those are all feminine qualities. And then as it scales, you have to put some rules in place. And so that?s where the masculine comes in. And you have compliance and H.R. and all these things that are putting structure to the business, which is super important. So unlearning some of the old kind of feminine ways, trying to apply the right kind of masculinity, and seeing if it?s possible to really still lead from that feminine place, is what I think about.
What Goop is all about: ?We want to always be moving culture forward with what we do in the content and in the offerings and also create conversations and forums to help eliminate shame. I think a lot of women experience a lot of shame in their lives. The more we talk about things that are sometimes uncomfortable, that are sometimes unknown, it might resonate with somebody. And then we might help them shed a little bit of that feeling.
She invented gluten-free: ?When we talk about something that is incendiary, I always see in six months other people starting to write about it, and 18 months later, businesses popping up around it. It?s always confirmation to me that we?re on the right track. I mean, when I did my gluten-free cookbook in 2015, the press was super negative and there were personal attacks about what I was feeding my children and what kind of mother I am. Now the gluten-free market is huge.
How she views her acting career now: ?I was masquerading as an actor.?
Whether Goop is an elitist brand: A lot of people hear, ?Hey, you could eat a bit better or exercise a bit more.? But they don?t want to take responsibility for themselves. So it?s easier to be critical of an entity or a person who is suggesting that, than it is to start making small, perhaps uncomfortable shifts in their lives. The true tenets of wellness are all free. Being in nature, meditating, eating whole foods. If you told our grandparents that eating whole, natural foods was elitist, they would have thought you were crazy.
[From The NY Times]
I don?t know what pisses me off more, the fact that she still says that whole foods are FREE or that she thinks Goop, as a brand, helps eliminate shame. The latter is tied to this conversation she THINKS she?s having, which is that women aren?t believed by doctors, and that women need to talk about their medical/psychological issues more in the public sphere. That conversation is very important, but I would argue that Gwyneth and Goop are doing nothing nothing to contribute to that conversation. Instead of promoting real education on sexual and reproductive health, Goop muddies the conversation over and over again by pushing her half-baked fake science, some of which will actually hurt women. Also: she TOTALLY shames women. Fat women, overweight women, women who dont want to be told by Gwyneth Paltrow you can eat a bit better.

Several weeks ago, Gwyneth Paltrow was sued by a Utah doctor who claimed that in 2016, Gwyneth crashed into him on a ski slope at the Deer Valley Resort. Terry Sanderson described the incident as a ?hit-and-run ski crash? where Gwyneth ?skied out of control and hit? him in the back, and she ?got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured.? Sanderson also accused Gwyneth of using her connections at the ski resort to have them file a false report about the crash, where the report was like ?Gwyneth did nothing wrong.? Sanderson claims he was seriously injured with broken bones and a head injury because of what happened. The idea that Gwyneth would ski recklessly, crash into someone and then smugly and wordlessly look down her nose at an injured peasant felt? on-brand for Gwyneth. Also on-brand-for Gwyneth? Countersuing the peasant she allegedly crashed into.
Gwyneth Paltrow said Wednesday in a court filing that a man who accused her in a lawsuit of crashing into him at a Utah ski resort was actually the culprit in the collision and is trying to exploit her celebrity and wealth. Paltrow was skiing with her children and friends in 2016 during a family vacation on a beginner run named Bandana at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, when Terry Sanderson smashed into her from behind and delivered a full body blow, the actress attorney alleged in a counter claim filed in court. Paltrow said she was shaken by the collision and quit skiing for the day.
She said Sanderson apologized to her and said he was fine, her response to Sandersons lawsuit said. Paltrow had previously denied blame for the crash in a statement but had not yet offered a full version of the events.
She did not knock him down, Paltrows court filing said. He knocked her down. He was not knocked out.
Paltrow, known for her roles in Shakespeare in Love and the Iron Man movies and her lifestyle company named goop, said her injuries were minor and that she is seeking symbolic damages of $1 plus costs for her lawyers fees from Sanderson for defending herself against what she called a meritless claim.
[From NBC News]
So, it?s basically he said-she said, only Gwyneth has the accident report to back up her side? maybe? I don?t know the initial Sanderson lawsuit made it sound like the ski resort?s on-site people did a cover-up job on the accident and made it sound like NOTHING happened. But now Gwyneth is saying something did happen, and it just wasn?t her fault because he crashed into her, not vice versa. I wonder? do you think this will turn into a bigger something? It feels like it could.
Also: Gwyneth just can?t help being haughty. Check out her reply on a post about all of this week?s Kardashian drama.

I have no problem with believing the worst about Gwyneth Paltrow. I believe she?s an ignorant, careless, word-salad-speaking pseudo-intellectual who only cares about fleecing rich women for profit. I believe she?s the kind of rude ahole who tells her friends that they?re fat to their faces, and who bitches out young women who refuse to acknowledge that SHE invented yoga. But do I believe that Gwyneth is the kind of person who would recklessly crash into someone while skiing and not do anything to help the man she injured? Well? actually, I probably would believe that?
Gwyneth Paltrow is facing a lawsuit from a Utah doctor who claims the actress crashed into him while skiing in February 2016. Terry Sanderson, the man suing the Oscar-winning actress, alleged Paltrow, 46, ?was skiing out of control? at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah, in court documents obtained by KUTV, a local news station in Utah. Sanderson is asking for damages in excess of $3.1 million.
A rep for Paltrow tells PEOPLE, ?This lawsuit is completely without merit. Anyone who reads the facts will realize that.?
Sanderson described the incident as ?a hit-and-run ski crash at Deer Valley, Utah? where Paltrow allegedly ?skied out of control and hit? him in the back, adding she ?got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned, lying in the snow, seriously injured,? according to his lawsuit. ?Gwyneth Paltrow knew it was wrong to slam into Dr. Sanderson?s back, knocking him down, landing on top of him, knocking him out and then leave the scene of the skit crash she caused, but she did it anyway.?
The doctor also claimed a Deer Valley ski instructor, Eric Christiansen, who accompanied the actress, filed a false report alleging Paltrow did not cause the crash. Christiansen, Deer Valley Resort and two unnamed resort employees are also being sued. A spokesperson for Deer Valley Resort said the resort couldn?t comment on pending legal matters. Sanderson alleged in his lawsuit that he suffered injuries including a ?permanent traumatic brain injury,? four broken ribs, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress and disfigurement.

Does it sound like Gwyneth? I mean? sort of, right? That?s the thing we?re already primed to believe the worst about her. If you told me that Gwyneth promoted the killing of hobos to improve one?s skin tone, I would say ?that?s SO Gwyneth.? I totally believe that she would be the kind of rich person who would get a ski instructor to cover up what she did. That being said? this happened in 2016 and we?re just hearing about it now? I don?t know. If Gwyneth ever ran me over with her skis, I would be giving local, national and international interviews in a neck brace for the next ten months. ?Yes, I saw her straw hair and her look of smug disgust and I knew Gwyneth Paltrow was the one who took my spleen.?

To be clear, I don?t actually believe that Gwyneth Paltrow should be canceled. Any cancellation if it should happen won?t come from me. That?s partly because I halfway enjoy how obliviously awful she is, and it?s fun to cover her sometimes. It?s not a ?cancel Gwyneth y/n? issue. It?s more like: please recognize that she?s terrible. Please recognize that she?s getting rich off of bad science, elitism and expensive feelings. Please recognize that whatever Gwyneth is, she?s not fking harmless. Gwyneth has a newish interview in the Financial Times, and she is just as dangerous clueless and obliviously elitist as ever. Some highlights:
How she started Goop: ?It?s bizarre to think back on. I had such a different life then,? says Paltrow of the ?life crisis? that precipitated Goop. ?I was completely burned out. I had done 40 films in a decade, and even though there were aspects of it that were incredible, it was also pretty lonely. I was on the road alone a lot. And I had had my daughter and I thought, I don?t want to do that any more. And then I started to realise I was very interested in the digital space. I certainly had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was trying to figure out WordPress alone in my kitchen. It was ridiculous.?
She?s still telling that asinine story about bitching out a yoga-studio employee: ?I started writing about this kind of stuff when it was ahead of the curve, and we are still ahead of the curve. Even when I started to do yoga, pre-internet, I remember there being very cynical articles about how yoga was culty and weird and for freaks. It?s been great watching the sea-change. I had this funny experience the other day where I went to a yoga studio in LA and the beautiful 22-year-old girl behind the counter was like, ?Have you ever done yoga before?? And I was like: ?Bitch, you have this job because I?ve done yoga before.???
On her detractors who say ?wellness? is only for privileged, rich white women: ?But this is bullsh-t. This idea that wellness is aspirational, and for rich people, it?s absolutely not true at all. At the crux of it, the true tenets of wellness ? meditation, eating whole foods, drinking a lot of water, sleeping well, thinking good thoughts, trying to be optimistic ? are all free.?
Why people are really mad at her: ?I think the reason why people get pissed off with me is because I?m like, ?No, I actually work my ass off in all areas of my life.? Some people are really inspired by that and some people are annoyed by it.?
Going into to meet with investors for Goop: ?Oh, it?s hilarious. And so brutal. Firstly, every investor will take the meeting. And then, for about the first 90 seconds, I am Gwyneth Paltrow and maybe they want a selfie for their wife and maybe they tell me about how much they loved The Royal Tenenbaums. And then you sit down to do the presentation it?s like: ?Oh sh-t, this is what it?s like to be an entrepreneur.? It?s such a great lesson, because when you?re a famous person?.?.?.?people are always treating you with kid gloves and removing obstacles for you. Investor meetings were a huge wake-up call, in the best way. It was when I realised I?d been treated like a fake person for 20 years.?
On all of the lawsuits & fake science: ?As you grow, you realise you have a lot of responsibility and accountability. We?re getting very buttoned-up about all that stuff now. I think the scariest thing for me is not knowing what I don?t know. I have made huge mistakes because I didn?t know those particular mistakes were even conceivably possible to make.?
[From Financial Times]
First of all, do you enjoy how she glosses over the lawsuits and consumer-advocacy watchdog reports about all of her expensive fake science? It?s only NOW that Goop is starting to get ?buttoned up? about, you know, making sure that they don?t say or suggest that stickers can cure cancer. It?s ?scary? for Gwyneth because of ?not knowing what I don?t know.? *twirls blonde hair* You mean I can?t charge $599 for jade eggs and claim that they cure Crohn?s?? I DIDN?T KNOW THAT. See if that stands up in court.
But really, this is the most offensive part: ?This idea that wellness is aspirational, and for rich people, it?s absolutely not true at all. At the crux of it, the true tenets of wellness ? meditation, eating whole foods, drinking a lot of water, sleeping well, thinking good thoughts, trying to be optimistic ? are all free.? WHOLE FOODS ARE NOT FREE. Flint still doesn?t have clean water. Being able to ?sleep well? if you?re a working parent is not free. Having the time and access to focus on meditation and mental health is not free. Does she honestly think food and water are free and accessible to all people? This is the same woman who tried to ?live on food stamps? for a month, only to blow all her SNAP money on limes and then quit after a few days and go to lunch at a fancy restaurant.
Last thing: someone needs to tell her to stop telling that story about how she invented yoga and bitched out a young woman. That story isnt the charming little tale she thinks it is.

Gwyneth Paltrow has developed a lucrative business with Goop. No matter what I think of what she?s actually selling snake oil and expensive feelings to bored rich women I will give her credit for transitioning from an extremely niche, elitist brand into a company that?s (arguably) worth $250 million. She?s a smart businesswoman and with an offensively patronizing business, and those two halves can exist simultaneously. The thing about Goop?s success is that Gwyneth is often invited to speak at tech conferences and business conferences and the like. The success of Goop, the elitist-niche-to-mass market transition, the money and investment, would any of it happened without Gwyneth Paltrow?s name attached? Of course not. If Goop wasn?t Gwyneth and it was just made by some rich ahole in her kitchen, of course it would not be the success it is today. But to hear Gwyneth tell it, her famous name and celebrity was perhaps the biggest hurdle.
Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow has built a $250 million wellness and lifestyle brand that launched its first international pop-up store London this fall and is on track to double its annual revenue this year. But even someone with Paltrow?s international celebrity and social media cachet found it difficult to raise money for her business, Goop.
?Being an actress, it was really helpful to get meetings,? Paltrow told the Wall Street Journal?s Tech D. Live conference tonight. ?Sometimes a guy would want a selfie for his wife, or to tell me how much they love The Royal Tenenbaums ? It very quickly became a hindrance.?
Paltrow?s experience is not dissimilar to that of other female entrepreneurs, who encounter obstacles when it comes to raising money. Male entrepreneurs received $58.2 billion in venture backing last year, while women received a fraction of that sum, $1.5 billion, according to PitchBook.
[From Deadline]
I often refer to ?the Oppression Olympics, which is where people men and women do it are so insistent that their suffering, their oppression, their terrible story is the worst. And not only that, it?s like no one wants to admit that some things are easy for some people, that white privilege exists and that money, power and connections help certain people. Many privileged people are so wrapped up in their own tales of victimization and oppression, they truly don?t see how offensive it is that they can?t see past their own nose. All of which to say: give me a fking break, Gwyneth. It was SUCH a hindrance that people loved her work and wanted photos of her and all she wanted to do was be a humble snake oil salesman of yore. No one knows how Gwyneth struggles, truly. No one understands how many hindrances and roadblocks were thrown in her path. She came dangerously close to having to put HER OWN MONEY into Goop. *tosses stringy blonde hair and cries*
(minor update/edit: I didnt claim to invent the term Oppression Olympics but I took out the wording that some found questionable.)

Earlier this week, media outlets reported that Gwyneth Paltrow?s GOOP is once again in hot water for making false, misleading and unscientific claims about the overpriced snake oil they sell to gullible rich women. This time, Goop will have to answer to two regulators in the UK for their false claims about what their ?supplements? and ?vitamins? really do. Gwyneth?s Goop has already had significant problems here in America with similar issues Gwyneth seems to think that she can just claim anything she wants about the products she shills.
So imagine my lack of surprise that Gwyneth used Goop to talk about perimenopause a conversation desperately needed and then somehow it all became a giant shill for a Goop product called ?Goop Wellness Madame Ovary? supplements. From Goop?s ?Ask GP? feature:
Dear GP, I?m not in menopause yet, but I?m in my forties and I?m starting to notice some changes. Did you start taking care of yourself differently once you hit forty? ?Maggie
Gwyneth: Dear Maggie, First of all, congratulations. I believe that when women turn forty, we get a software upgrade, and part of that is that we tend to stop caring so much about what other people think. Being forty is very different now than it was for our grandmothers, and even our mothers?we are living in a time when we can redefine what that phase of femininity means. But despite all its upsides, there are things that happen after forty that we need to focus on, like heart health and bone density. Like you, I?m not in menopause (yet!), but at the age of forty-six, I can feel a perceptible shift in my hormones?I probably sweat a little more than I used to, and my mood is less consistently even.
Most recently, I started taking our new vitamin and supplement protocol, Madame Ovary. We developed it with Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read, who is one of the most extraordinary MDs I?ve ever worked with?she is exceptionally good at supporting the body to ease the aging process so that it is almost imperceptible. We made the Madame Ovary regimen for women around the perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal ages (perimenopause can begin anywhere from the mid- to late-thirties to the mid-forties), as it is designed to provide some support for thyroid health as well as things like mild hot flashes, mood shifts, and stress-

When was this photo taken? 1940? ?50? ?70? Last summer? It?s this timeless beauty?s birthday today. She was born with endless gifts big blue eyes, a brain and heart overflowing with curiosity, generosity and possibility and those heartbreakingly long legs that go on and on but she never rests on any of them. Gwyneth, you are the hardest working person I know. From your first cup of coffee in the morning to your last cup of whiskey at night. From the gym to the office to homework at the kitchen table. You give us all of you, all the time. And always with a smile (well, almost always). Maybe that?s why, even though you are the best person ever, you keep getting better every year. Happy birthday, Love.
