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.)

Amber Heard went through so much abuse and trauma during her marriage to Johnny Depp. We read about it in her divorce decree, we saw the photos and we witness Depps classic abuser response, which was to blame, play the victim and continue to smear her. She dealt with a lot, and its not surprising to hear that she still has trauma and pain. In an interview with The London Times, Heard revealed that she was deeply affected by Dr. Christine Blasey Fords testimony, and that every woman she knows was affected too. I could relate so much with what she said as it brought up repressed memories and emotions for me too. Heard was likely responding to Depps GQ interview, although as the Daily Beast points out she doesnt mention him by name.
Although Heard, 32, does not directly address the allegations she made about Depp, or say his name, she comes close when she tells the paper, in response to a question about what she has learned in recent years: ?I believe the truth is the only thing that?s sustainable. I just didn?t realize how much it would fucking hurt getting there. I don?t know where that finish line is, but I fight every single day, and every single day it gets better. And every single woman that comes up to me and says thank you reminds me of my instinct to believe that right always wins, ultimately, that a lie is not sustainable, injustice is not sustainable.?
Heard also tells The Sunday Times that she found herself ?triggered? by the Kavanaugh hearing in September, in which Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
Asked if Ford?s testimony revived memories of her own trauma, Heard replies: ?The results of [trauma] are sneaky. They?re not as obvious as you think. I don?t hide under a table when I hear a loud bang, though that happens to certain people with PTSD. Trauma sneaks up on you in weird ways, where all of a sudden you find yourself in a puddle on the floor, crying while watching this play out live on Fox or CNN ? and you wonder why you care so much. It?s not your trial, right? But it is. It is.?
Heard adds: ?Every single woman I know watching that hearing was triggered. I don?t know a single woman who watched it and didn?t have their heart break. We are all Dr. Ford. And we know it.?
[From The London Times as reported by The Daily Beast]
I appreciate how she likened trauma from abuse to PTSD from war. Until it happened to me and I shut down emotionally I didnt think of it that way. I didnt think I had the right to be traumatized from an assault I suffered as a teenager because it didnt fit the mold of violent rape. Dr. Ford is a hero and she is continuing to pay the price for speaking out. Shes moved four times, she continues to get death threats and shes had to hire a private security team. Her testimony was thoughtful and measured. Meanwhile Kavanaugh was angry and unhinged in his testimony and he is now a Supreme Court justice. The FBI didnt even interview Dr. Ford, nor did they interview multiple women who came forward to accuse him of rape and assault.

| | Us Weekly: Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton are selecting a surrogate, to have their baby | | Added 5 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Be honest: when Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton first got together in 2015, did any of us really think they would make it this long? I didn?t. I didn?t see any of this coming. After more than three years together, I have to admit that I actually sort of like Gwen and Blake together. It?s weird. Anyway, Gwen and Blake are always getting rumors about an impending engagement, wedding or baby. I tend to believe Gwen wants to marry Blake and she?s just waiting for him to do something about it. I also believe that Blake got burned by Miranda Lambert, and he?s probably still gun-shy about getting hitched again. But what about babies? Gwen is 49, Blake is 42. Chances are, even if Gwen tried to get pregnant again, she wouldn?t have much luck. So what about surrogacy?
Ready to expand their family? Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are ?determined to have a child together,? an insider reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.
?They are in the final stages of choosing the woman who will carry their baby. It?s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited,? the insider explains, noting that even though Shelton is grateful for Stefani?s sons, ?he wants his own child too.?
?Gwen just is so in awe of the love Blake has, not only for her but for the boys,? the insider tells Us.
[From Us Weekly]
By all accounts, Blake adores Gwen?s sons. Gwen and her boys regularly spend a lot of time in Oklahoma, where Blake has a home, and he?s turned his property into a giant playground for the kids. I feel like? Gwen has always wanted more kids, and she might even try this, even though what she really wants is to just get married. I don?t know. Most celebrities keep it a secret when they?re going through the first stages of surrogacy, so I don?t know if this is a legit leak from one of their camps, or it?s just a make-believe story. Eh. It feels truthy, but God knows.
