As many of you know, I?ve been off the hooch for years now. I hated the way alcohol made me feel and I was tired of hangovers and empty calories. In the first months of the pandemic, I did think about alcohol, and there were even a few days where I considered getting some of those takeout cocktails restaurants were offering. But I stopped myself and it?s been months since I seriously considered drinking. I?m proud of myself, but I also acknowledge that this was a hard pandemic, and many people fell off the wagon. Liquor sales skyrocketed for a reason a lot of people were drinking and some people were drinking more than they used to. Gwyneth Paltrow was one of those people. To my knowledge, she?s never been on the wagon, and she?s always enjoyed a glass of wine or a cocktail (she even does Instagram ads for alcohol). But during the pandemic, Goop was drinking every damn day.
Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed she ended up indulging in booze and even carbs during the last year, as she quarantined with her family. The actress-turned-entrepreneur dubbed her drink of choice a ?Buster Paltrow,? which she named after her grandfather and contains ?great quinoa whiskey?.
Gwyneth told The Mirror: ?I was drinking seven nights a week and making pasta and eating bread. I went totally off the rails. I mean, who drinks multiple drinks seven nights a week? Like that?s not healthy. I love whiskey and I make this fantastic drink called the Buster Paltrow, which I named after my grandfather who loved whiskey sours. It?s this great quinoa whiskey from this distillery in Tennessee with maple syrup and lemon juice. It?s just heaven. I would have two of those every night of quarantine.?
Gwyneth insisted she was ?not, like, black-out? drunk, but she admitted she still craves a cigarette when drinking. ?I miss it,? she added.

I think two strong whiskey sours every night for a year is probably enough to make her question whether she has a problem. But would someone get blackout drunk from two whiskey sours? It depends on their tolerance, the strength of the ?quinoa whiskey,? and how big those ?drinks? were. Like, was she filling up a Big Gulp cup? Anyway, as I said, people were drinking a lot during the pandemic and it?s okay to give yourself a break about it, but it?s also okay to acknowledge that you or someone else might have a problem. In Gwyneth?s case, it sounds like she caught Covid, recovered slowly, and then spent eight months in a whiskey-and-pasta downward spiral. How gauche.

About a month ago, the Hollywood Reporter had a lengthy cover story about the still-ongoing issues between Ray Fisher and Warner Bros regarding Joss Whedon. When Whedon stepped in to complete Justice League, he marginalized Fisher and Fisher?s character Cyborg and Whedon treated Fisher abominably. As THR revealed, Fisher was far from the only Justice League cast member to have issues with Whedon. Jason Momoa and Ben Affleck couldn?t stand Whedon and pushed back against his script rewrite as well. And then there was Gal Gadot. According to THR:
A knowledgeable source says Gal Gadot had multiple concerns with the revised version of the film, including ?issues about her character being more aggressive than her character in Wonder Woman. She wanted to make the character flow from one movie to the next.?
The biggest clash, sources say, came when Whedon pushed Gadot to record lines she didn?t like, threatened to harm Gadot?s career and disparaged Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins. While Fisher declines to discuss any of what transpired with Gadot, a witness on the production who later spoke to investigators says that after one clash, ?Joss was bragging that he?s had it out with Gal. He told her he?s the writer and she?s going to shut up and say the lines and he can make her look incredibly stupid in this movie.?
A knowledgeable source says Gadot and Jenkins went to battle, culminating in a meeting with then-Warners chairman Kevin Tsujihara. Asked for comment, Gadot says in a statement: ?I had my issues with [Whedon] and Warner Bros. handled it in a timely manner.?

Gadot had never confirmed anything on the record beyond the fact that there was an issue with Whedon and she went over his head. She also hasn?t done much to support Ray Fisher, at least publicly, but it?s possible she?s supported him privately. In any case, Gal went on the record over the weekend:
While appearing on Israel?s N12 News to discuss her role as Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot claimed Justice League director Joss Whedon threatened her career, confirming previous reporting by The Hollywood Reporter.
In the interview, N12?s Yuna Leibzon mentioned to Gadot how previous reporting of her experiences with the director included him not approving of her trying to make changes in her character. ?He even said you should just be pretty and say your lines. You weren?t going to let him get away with it,? N12?s Yuna Leibzon asked Gadot, to which the actress responded ?No.?
?What I had with Joss basically is that he kind of threatened my career and said if I did something he would make my career miserable. I handled it on the spot,? Gadot said.

Joss Whedon is such a pig. I believed everything in THR?s report last month, and I believe Whedon had bragged to his bros that he put Gadot in her place and threatened her. I respect the way she and Patty Jenkins handled it. Justice League just sounds like it was a miserable experience from start to finish, my God.
