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.

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.

Every now and then, I?ll read a gossip blurb that makes me so suspicious about some kind of undercover sponsorship deal. Like, the gossip blurb functions an undercover advertisement, but they don?t have to call it an ad. It happens so often nowadays, especially since celebrities give interviews all the time just to promote their ad campaigns and sponsorships. Not to mention all of the celebrities who are being paid just to carry a particular phone or purse or wear a certain label. So, here?s today?s suspicious story: is Gwyneth Paltrow being undercover-sponsored by Apple Pay?
Even Gwyneth Paltrow occasionally commits a faux pas. We hear the Goop goddess risked embarrassment this weekend in the Hamptons when she realized she forgot to bring her credit card with her while shopping. A source tells us Paltrow was at high-end clothing store Blue & Cream in East Hampton with her 14-year-old daughter, Apple, when she realized she didn?t have a way to pay.
?She was mortified,? says a witness. We hear a crisis was averted with Paltrow using Apple Pay through her phone.

What do you think? It?s just SO suspicious! For one, I don?t believe that Gwyneth only has ONE credit card, and she conveniently forgot that one card. Goop absolutely has a black AmEx, and probably a dozen other cards. She?s probably not like me, in that I have a few cards but I only ever use my Discover card. But I do think she probably doesn?t travel with cash, because only peasants carry cash. So did Apple Pay decide on a low-key sponsorship with Gwyneth? And how do you ?forget? your card but remember that you have Apple Pay? I don?t know. Also: Gwyneth is a big celebrity and clearly the shop was going to brag about her trip there, why not give her the items free anyway? Why is this story so weird?!?!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk are still on, and still engaged. The more I hear about this pairing, the more it makes sense to me, honestly. He?s quite content to let Gwyneth be ?the star,? even though he?s a pretty well-connected guy too. He?s just not in-your-face about it like Dame Goop, who has to name-drop every time she takes a breath. That being said, I would imagine Gwyneth?s celebrity status and great connections have something to do with the fact that no major weekly has even raised the issue of the fact that Brad left his wife for Gwyneth, and that their relationship began while both of them were married to other people. But both Gwyneth and Brad divorced their spouses and now they?ll be married by the end of the summer.
The Hamptons is buzzing that the summer will end with a bang ? Gwyneth Paltrow?s wedding to Hollywood producer Brad Falchuk. We hear that the nuptials will be at Paltrow?s Hamptons home. A source says the wedding will be ?at the end of the summer, after Labor Day.?
Page Six exclusively revealed previous plans for Paltrow?s bachelorette party in Mexico, as well as the couple?s engagement party hosted by Ryan Murphy for 400 guests that many thought could be a surprise wedding.
Instead, Paltrow will opt for a home ceremony. She recently said of her plans: ?I?m very busy so I?m actually not that involved in it.?
[From Page Six]
A late-summer wedding in the Hamptons? well, it?s not the most elite thing in the world, but it?s not peasant-y either. I would have thought that Gwyneth would be more of a ?let?s do a destination wedding in Europe!? person. But maybe that?s too nouveau riche, too Kardashian. The real elites don?t have to be so showy! They just get married in the backyard of their Hamptons estates. Also: I hate myself for wanting to see her wedding gown. I doubt we?ll see it though do you think she will give away photos to the weeklies? Maybe she?ll post one or two photos on Instagram, or maybe on Goop. Hm.
Here are some photos of Gwyneth at the Frederique Constant launch party in London on Thursday. I have a sheet set with that exact floral fabric.

Howard Stern interviewed Gwyneth Paltrow for his SiriusXM show on Wednesday, and there are so many quotes from this interview, it?s hard to keep up. Different people had different takeaways from the interview I thought the most interesting part was when Gwyneth talked about her engagement to Brad Falchuk, and how they?re definitely not going to have any kids together (which means the theory about her already being preg is BS). Other people might find the quotes about Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt more interesting. Or maybe you?re more interested in Gwyneth droning on and on yet again about her conscious uncoupling. Some assorted quotes from the Stern interview:
On Brad Falchuk: Gwyneth says they don?t even live together yet, but that their wedding will ?hopefully? be this year, and she?s ready to give marriage a ?proper shot.? She also says, ?I think that theres something really beautiful about marriage. And I think that Brad is somebody whos extremely?hes really intelligent and hes very emotionally intelligent. I think hes a really good person to try this with, ya know, hes very self-aware. Hes got a lot of emotional maturity.
Whether she wants more kids: ?Neither of us want more kids. We?re on the same team.? That said, Paltrow gushed that the TV writer, 47, is ?fantastic? with her daughter, Apple, 14, and son Moses, 12, both of whom she shares with her ex-husband, Chris Martin. Meanwhile, Falchuk shares son Brody and daughter Isabella with his ex-wife, Suzanne Bukinik. ?It?s always tricky with kids and trying to gently blend families It?s hard.?
Whether she even remembers feeling romantic love for Chris Martin at this point: No. not at all?I cant imagine that at all.
Stern asks if she thinks she was ever really in love with Ben Affleck: Its interesting I think theres certain boyfriends where you are trying to work stuff out, right? Like youre trying to heal certain stuff from your childhood and he was very much a lesson in that way. He?Im not sure exactly what I was trying to heal in that instance but it was, he was, ya know, it was specific.
How Brad Pitt protected her from Weinstein: We had one instance in a hotel room where [Harvey] tried towhere he made a pass at me. I really kind of stood up to him, I told my boyfriend at the time, Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt, we were at the opening of Hamlet on Broadway, that Ralph Fiennes was in Hamlet, and Harvey was there, and Brad Pitt, it was like the equivalent of throwing him against the wall, you know, energetically. It was so fantastic because what he did was, he leveraged his fame and power to protect me, at a time when I didnt have fame or power yet. It was, it was fantastic. Hes a good person. And Harvey was never inappropriate with me again.

I think my problem is that I can always hear Gwyneth?s half-nasal voice saying everything with the bored sigh of privilege, so everything seems shadier than it really is. I will never get tired of Gwyneth talking on and on about how she feels nothing for Chris Martin at this point. I will never get tired of her awkwardness of having to address Ben Affleck and how gross he is. But, as I said, I?m most interested in the Falchuk stuff. It feels like she?s saying that Falchuk is the first emotionally mature, self-aware dude she?s ever been with? Maybe that?s in direct comparison to Chris Martin.

Say what you will about Gwyneth Paltrow, but I get the feeling that she?s pretty good with money and financial planning and investments. Gwyneth was born wealthy, and she used to make a lot of money as an actress. Now she makes a lot of money off of her Goop lifestyle/wellness/fashion brand. She has investors, she has sponsors, and what can I say? It?s a good moment to be in the pseudoscience and snake-oil-sales business. I also got the feeling that ?money? was one of the big reasons why Gwyneth and Chris Martin?s divorce and conscious uncoupling was so drawn out they were bickering, behind the scenes, about money and real estate and who got what.
All of which to say? Gwyneth?s husband-to-be Brad Falchuk is marrying a woman who is very rich. Brad isn?t poor, by any means: he?s a successful television producer/showrunner type, but he?s definitely the ?beta? to Gwyneth?s alpha in every sense, especially financially. So is Gwyneth protecting her goopy assets? You can bet your ?90s flat-iron on it.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk are getting closer to saying I do. A source confirms to E! News that the Avengers actress and TV writer have a prenup in place ahead of their wedding.
Yes, there is a prenup. It was very easy and they were both agreeable to the terms, the insider tells us. This was just one of the steps in their wedding planning process. They have both been married before and felt this needed to happen.
The source continued, They each have assets and children from previous marriages so it makes sense to have an agreement in place. There were no surprises and it was a quick process.
[From E! News]
I?ve never really thought of Brad Falchuk as a golddigger, but it could be seen that way from certain angles: he dumped his wife, the mother of his children, when someone richer came along. He played the long game and now he?s about to marry one of the richest women in Hollywood. But no, I still don?t think of him as a golddigger. I think he really does love her and he?s happy to be with such an alpha. He?s happy to be the plus-one in Gwyneth?s elite world, which is something that Chris Martin always struggled with. Anyway, good for them for doing the prenup with so little drama.

Like most things in her mind, Gwyneth Paltrow is winning at being engaged again ? and she can prove it. Everyone is so normal, adjusted and mostly importantly ? cool – in her family, that her two main guys, the former Mr. Paltrow, Chris Martin, and the soon-to-be Mr. Paltrow, Brad Falchuk, can sit at a table for an entire brunch and not come to blows. See?
