Gwyneth Paltrow Gets GOOP-y

It would be nice if the website actually worked or was ready. Regardless of what I click on, I get the same into page :/

Some one is trying desperately to stay in the public eye. She was so annoying in Ironman. It would have been so much better with out her in it. She and her media team should stop fooling them self, a lot of people saw Ironman because of Robert Downey Jr. She looks so stupid trying to hack her dress up to show her legs-She is so pathetic trying to show so much of her skin. Dresses hiked up all the time now look at how much skin she is trying to show-what a desperate cow. I guess she and Chris Martin really need the money bad.

Must be a slow news day. JJ is copying US Weekly.

I actually don’t have a problem with her but…this does come off a bit pretentious when most of us regular folk are struggling, out of work, just living paycheck to lousy paycheck. What the heck does GOOP mean anyway???

ok thanks for that gwyneth

meanwhile back here on planet earth…..

I guess I can’t GOOP, I’m too busy tring to pay rent, bills and keep my car. She should trade places with me for one day and see how far her GOOP will get her!

does anyone object when Oprah does this? or Martha? or anyone else? get a life people. she means no harm. those of us without chips on our shoulders will enjoy it.

Thanks for all the advice Mrs. Martin.. We will try to only go to clean spaces, travel to new places, eat good food, work out, learn languages and treat ourselves. Your advice would be so useful if we had a bullish economy.. BAD TIMING lady.. and you aint no Martha Stewart so go scoop the GOOP yourself..

Gwyneth, as you can see… people are mean & jealous. They prefer seeing stars going down instead of way up & shining…. I have faith in somebody who’s trying to make a change in this messed up world. Of course I’m a single Mom without any money but I CAN TRY TO BE A BEAUTIFUL & BETTER PERSON TOO if I really want it and this you can’t buy. And as for you “the people” if you don’t have anything POSITIVE to write, please try another sick site because this site is for good people trying and hoping to get better….

best wishes for your new site… Annie ***

Annoying and nauseating.

Oh no, does that mean she will be back on Oprah in a lovefest to discuss her new site, can’t stand either of them. Wish they would understand that no-one cares about what they have to say.

It is a good follow up to the “how great motherhood is” when she used to sit and rant about being a mom as if she was the ONLY person EVER to have a child, talking down to the average mom who has to really and genuinely look after their kids, taking the good days with the bad, not a nanny to use when out of the puplic eye.

Who cares? Is she famous due to her parents, or maybe her famous godfather Stephen Spielberg? Hmmmmm…………makes you wonder.

Yet another one trying to be a “Brit”. She needs to understand that the Brits don’t want her over there either, like Madonna and all the other wannabes.

They have too much money and bought everything they can think of so then have to go and try and “own” some culture which they have never had. Their inner void will never be filled.

Nothing personal to anyone, we all have our own life journey, but enough is enough sometimes with celebrities.

Agree, Gwyneth is no Martha Stewart or Oprah. If she had some level of expertise or accomplishment like those ladies, I might be interested in this but it sounds like this is more for the sake of building a brand/making some money than sharing a genuine level of interest and expertise .

She is at an age where movie roles are not as great, plus she’s up against a lot of great actresses for those parts.

At least she understands that she needs to start trying other things.

I doubt Gwyneth will be the next Martha Stewart or Jane Fonda but if she can carve out a niche for herself in the overcrowded celeb lifestyle market, props to her! She does seem to be trying very hard to remain in the spotlight.

LuvJolie-Pitt:: the lines on her neck are shadows from the light filtered through her hair.

Jean:: I feel really sorry for you. If your life and financial situation are really that terrible, then you ned to be more proactive in improving your life. Only YOU are responsible for it, so stop acting like a victim and do something to get yourself out of it!

Anyone can succeed it they try hard enough and persist enough. ANYONE can.

^That’s an ugly photo of Gwyn.

What ?! That’s what We need another Hollyweird…
Goop, so boooooooring!

I like watching her movies. I find her interesting. Although she is not in the same league with Charlize Theron whom I adore, or Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway… from my point of view.
Many people seem to not like her though. There must be certain reason for that. Some friends of mine say she behaves like a snob.
Regarding acting, she speaks with the same intonation in all of her movies which is not right for an actress, especially if that actress is Academy Award winner.

Gee, does Gwyneth think we Americans are up for this? After saying we don’t discuss important things at dinner, she sets up GOOP?! This from a woman who couldn’t get into a decent college and had to be tutored through high school? She puts her foot in her mouth every time she opens it.

I think most of us do what she suggests on a daily basis and have done it for years. My point is enough of these celebs thinking they have come up with some great new idea, and then try and push it in our faces. Like when she had a baby and spoke as if she was the only one ever to have one.

The concept has absolutely nothing to do with money and yet those of us who just about get by on our incomes have been doing the same thing for years, enjoying the simple pleasures.

I do think that some celebrities, or anyone for that fact with a lot of money, maybe haven’t even been in the position to enjoy the basic simple things in life and when you struggle to pay for them, they are so much more enjoyable than if you can snap your finger and they appear.

I would imagine the average mom enjoys 5 minutes to herself, and loves every single second. How different that would be maybe in Gwyneth’s case when you have a nanny.

Have you noticed that people like Gwyneth and Oprah, etc., start to push the simple things once they have bought and owned and saturated their own material needs. The void is still there and they look for the basic, simple things to feel fulfilled. Do they ever stop and think that maybe the average person does what they crave, on a daily basis. They speak of going back to basics, well, most of us live “basics”, and at the end of the day, really, that is all any of us have.

I find it nauseating when they push it in our faces as if they have just had a brainstorm and a flash of inspiration. Like Oprah and the Secret or how to be good to others. Barff. Okay, I know, this isn’t an Oprah post, I just tie Gwyneth and her together after the sickening show they did together a few years ago.

Thanks.

I don’t see anything to be jealous of with respect to Gwyneth. She’s average looking and hasn’t really had a great career, especially for an Oscar winner.

I’ve seen two episodes of her show so far and found her surprisingly boring.

Right now it seems like she’s really trying to stay in the public eye. The website seems to be a primer to brand herself/launch a product(s). We shall see soon enough.

I’ve received 3 issues so far that consisted of a few recipes you could find anywhere plus a list of very expensive places to stay and things to buy.

GOOP is disappointingly shallow. So much for nourishing the inner aspect.

People are not whining. They’re just pointing out the very obvious. The newsletter lacks substance and gives very little impression of Gwyneth Paltrow as a person except what she likes to buy. Really, what does she work at? Do people really think she writes Goop? All she does is sign off on the final draft and it shows in the content.

Most of the stuff she recommends is way out of the average person’s price range and seems to be a promotion for Tod’s. In the latest edition she tries to be a bit deeper, but even then she doesn’t share her own thoughts and ends up extensively quoting other people.

Gwyneth and Goop both don’t have much substance.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha…..XD

OMG - very negative people here.

Leave the girl alone, please.

At least SHE doesn’t go around stealing other people’s husbands, like Trout Mouth Jolie, who I am sick and tired of hearing about.

Some nasty, jealous people here.

Get a life, folks, and stop being so bitter.

I like Gwyn as an actress, but this GOOP site is so dull…not a witty, funny, deep, or controversial thing on it. There are a million other lifestyle sites that aren’t so boring. She should add stuff about how to get involved in charity work, or something interesting and useful. Advice to buy a $75 cake spatula? That’s just isn’t interesting, and it certainly doesn’t reflect well on her intelligence.

Hmm…I guess she never did finish college or anything. : /

I was going to write my own views and then I found the following article from the LA times which sums up my own thoughts very neatly:

“Behind the Gwyneth Paltrow backlash” — by Maria Russo, September 24, 2008

“Women are unlikely to line up to hear Paltrow explain how she has perfected the art of living. It’s a tricky line you have to walk, if you want to advise the fair sex. You really ought to have suffered some sort of great hardship and loss. It also helps if you struggle ceaselessly with your weight, and it’s a bonus if your domestic arrangements are on the freakish side. As evidence, I offer this list of successful, beloved female advice purveyors: Oprah. Martha. Suze. Rosie. Tyra.

Not a rock star husband among them. Come to think of it, not a husband among them.”

ah bless her heart. between making films (real hard graft), being the worlds best mum, hobnobbing with other famous people and playing the recluse rockstar’s wifey, she has found time to share her girly diary online..thanks, very generous - but I can find most information elsewhere on the web. Its boring having it regurgetated by *a celeb*. There are millions of blogs doing this a whole lot better without half as much -if any media- hype.

I’m not bitter, just wish these privileged people would use their fame to promote something more worthwhile than banana nut muffin recipes and their personal trainers latest video. I don’t think an amateur blog is really doing much for her already shaky profile.

BTW I always thought Gweenie was an annoying actress. In SEVEN I was so glad of the notion she lost her head! LOL. Other than that, Grennie is NOT the actress mummy is and her kids will grow up to hate her guts - APPLE and MOSES? I think Chris Martin and GOOPY Girl have been drinking too much of their own brand of kool aid.

It’s pretty easy to be negative about anything. But it takes guts to be able to be grateful for the huge thing she’s trying to do. GOOP is wonderful. It’s so inspiring and so noble… It makes my day. BIG TIME THANKS, Gwyneth! :)

Good on you Gwyneth, nice to see someone trying to help in some small way and rising above the negativity. Fantastic website.

I love Gwyneth’s website. I think it’s great. It’s informative and inspirational. I find it uplifting and positive. I’m totally enjoying it and look forward to each new newsletter. Thank you so much. Keep them coming.

Why do people hate her in specific so much? I Think her comments were fine.. read something beautiful , make soneone dinner , nourish what sreal ? What is the problem with that . May be people should F** kin relax and try to enjoy the simple things as much as the love MATerialistic things .. Try being mad at the jerks like the KARDASHIAN idots or worse The clueless daughters of RUN DMC so called preacher Rapper dude .. They are sad. and the reality show sof extravagance ..HELLLOOO??

What a pretentious bunch of crap

Life is so short, it is a real shame that many of you commented in such a mean and nasty manner. We have little, precious time to be a blessing to someone, even those we don’t really know. Get over yourselves and do as your mom should have told you “if you can’t say something nice about someone, DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL”.

If you don’t like it or her - stay off the site. Everyone has the right to do whatever they like and say whatever they like. I don’t think that has been taken away from us yet. Maybe if you would spend more time looking for a job or using your time more wisely, you would have to live from paycheck to paycheck…..sounds like to me you have some extra time on your hands.

I for one am always looking for ways to improve and like when others pass on their knowledge.

Man, you all really have it out for this woman. I hope that your passions regarding Paltrow also apply to how you feel about your politicians, spiritual leaders, etc. For people to so vehemently despise an actress, whom you can chose to see or not see, astounds me. As for me, she does not bother me. I have not liked everything she is in, but have enjoyed certain films, like ‘Emma.’ I personally cannot stand Mickey Rourke and find him to be reprehensible in his irresponsible behavior. Someone who could have had the world blew it and now is cashing in on his homeless, drug affected personality. He speaks like he is in a porn film (listen to him at Spirit Awards) and looks so awful and he made it all happen. Why not comments about him in his Gauthier suit the other night, when he could hae given that $$ to his homeless friends? I do not, however, hate the man. I think we al l need more to do.

Never did like her much-she lives in a fantasy world. Money gives people like this all the time in the world to explore fun things. I suspect Heaven will be like this. Unfortunately the have-nots will have to wait. Gwenyth could possible take her time and money and cook for the less fortunate in 3rd world countries-invest her money in others who are not LAZY but were also fortunate to have her millions. Try it sometime–help others, be an ambassador Gwen. Don’t flaunt your shallowness — you are so typical of Hollywood. It is the quick and easy money and lack of genuine talent–that is Hollywood.

I think it’s all a bunch of GOOP! Ha!Ha!

I checked out the goop, she thinks us poor people would like to do all the things that she does,if I had the money I would be doing my own thing , so what’s it for, herself, to make herself think her life is fabulous.

I appreciate Gwyneth’s website. Granted I don’t have nearly the monetary resources she has but I try to live a positive life even if I don’t always succeed, which is what I figure is her goal too. I will continue to check out her articles and maybe be inspired to try some of the things in them. Cooking a meal, exercising or appreciating my family are all simple things to do.
It’s a shame how people can be so negative. Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves if they can put someone else down.
Keep at it Gwyneth!

She’s brilliant! That detox gave me new recipes, I lost weight and learned a bit. But the real stuff was on mothering - made me feel 110% better right away. Basic, easy to read and funny - good humor goes a long way these days. I don’t care where she gets the info or how she picks the pros - its all top notch, high-end, down to earth stuff. I’d invest in her..that would be one stock in this **** market worth watching. The rest of you our boring…and probably ugly inside and out.

Gwyneth, i dont know if you read this stuff ( i hope not) But ( if you do read this) i realy do like your site. I normaly dont react on forums like this, but i am amazed about the fustration of some people.

Anywaayyyy…i have cooked some of the things that were on GOOP (make) and i loved it. I also like te filosofy about some thing to look at different in life
and thanks for the adresses of the restaurants.

Its always nice to hear that some one also likes to think about life and enjoy the nice things. Go on with it!

People that are anoyed by her, here’s something…dont go to her site ok. Let her do her thing, and you do yours. And….nooooo… you dont have to eat at a sjiek restaurant if you cant,. You van also make her chiken and patatos ( verry cheap) and eat it as a picknik at the park.

For the people who hate Gwyneth… i dislike jeaulous people.

Look forward to new recipes Gwyn.
