Gwyneth...

[Aleluvscp]

true dat

[chuck kottke]

Now, extending the idea further, then if Gwen is 6 years older than Chris, that would mean then that when Gwen was making muffins in the Betty-Crocker oven in the Berkshires at age 7, Chris was all of 1 year old, and saying something almost unintelligible to anyone else but perhaps his mum and some early Coldplay fans who had properly predicted the future...:laugh3:

[lara____]

She needs a bra, eh??:wink3: Well, well, well! Maybe we can help?? Someone, quick, design Gwyneth a bra!!:P

 

hey chuck, have you spent some time in canada :)

 

.... sorry, off topic

I think we all begin the new year with thoughts of things we would like to improve, learn, be more disciplined about, cut out of our diets. In January 2007 I decided I’d had enough of my saddlebags and post-pregnancy Shar-Pei-like stomach. I met an incredible woman who changed my life. Her name is Tracy Anderson. She is a dancer, a trainer, an "organic plastic surgeon" as my friend Julia calls her. Her program works but you have to work it. For real. Right now she is on tour with Madonna so I do a lot of video chat with her and I do her DVDs. Every once in a while she sends me a little movie to change something up. She sent me this one for the New Year's butt. It’s really hard. But do it like she says to do it and I swear that in ten days you will see your butt change shape. I do it with 1 lb. ankle weights and then I do her Dance Aerobics DVD. Some days I hate it, some days I love it, but above all, I stick with it. The sticktoitivness is what it is all about.

From Tracy:

With my method I go after restructuring your muscles so that they are designed to not only be strong but combat problem areas. With this leg and butt series it is very important to do all of the reps and moves on one side then go to the other leg. I lay out my sequences to accomplish visible results. I exhaust the large muscle groups then call on the accessory muscles to become active and alert. This works wonders with skin tone and structure. This sequence is easy to take on the road and do anywhere. If you are smart with your time I suggest you put this sequence on your laptop for reference, put your favorite songs on your iPod. Do 40 to 60 reps of each move and you will really see a change in your body. It is best to add a sequence like this on top of doing my Dance Aerobics and Mat DVD.

Whats up with her being all vegetarian, but yet not.

 

 

I dunno.

 

I know Chris says he'll eat Chicken occasionally too. Not anything with hooves.

 

 

I dunno, it al doesn't make much sense to me.

[Sirhc]

Does Chris eat chicken?

I didn't know Gwyneth is a vegetarian as well.

[CMJBGBWC]

I'm pretty sure Chris doesn't eat chicken.. why would he? Hes a veggie! :D likeme

[gigg]

^

Well he does eat sea food doesnt he?

I read it somewhere:\

well,even I am sort of a veggie but I eat fish.

[Mimixxx]

He says he eats meat when there's nothing else available, but as a rule is a veggie.

 

He does eat fish though.

[Sirhc]

Me too. I never eat meat, but I do eat fish now and then.

A bit hypocrit, I know...

[Mrs_Geier]

GOOP: It's a portal into Gwyneth Paltrow's life

 

 

Actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 36, a veteran of the silver screen, is making her latest debut on your computer screen. The actress, activist, wife and mother is sharing her take on living with GOOP.com, a lifestyle newsletter and website. While Paltrow's husband, musician Chris Martin, took the kids (Apple, 4, and Moses, 2) ice skating :blush:, this busy mom spoke with USA TODAY from her London home to give readers the scoop on GOOP.

 

 

Q: What was your inspiration for GOOP.com?

A: I have this incredible, blessed, sometimes difficult, very lucky, very unique life, and I've gotten to travel all over the place and to work and live in different cities. … I go on tour with my husband and go to cities I would never necessarily go to. So I started accruing all of this information. I am the person my friends call when they want to know: "I am redoing this bathroom, and I want a sink that looks midcentury, but a contemporary version of a midcentury. Where should I go?" or "How do I make your (recipes)?" … I thought this would be a fun, creative way to share with friends.

 

I never really knew where I wanted it to go when I was starting it. I just thought if I could affect one woman's life positively who was trying to do all the things I was doing, and I had one solution that worked for me that might work for her, it was worth it to try and share it.

 

Q: Why the name GOOP?

A: It is a nickname, like my name is G.P., so that is really where it came from. And I wanted it to be a word that means nothing and could mean anything.

 

Q: When actors or artists do something different, they open themselves up to criticism. How would you respond to the people who are critical of your latest endeavor?

A: I think part of the problem is people get a hit of energy when they are negative about something, and it is a very detrimental way for them to get that hit of energy. They do not understand why they do not have a happy life. That kind of stuff is just noise to me. I just feel sorry for them. :worried:

Q: In one of your newsletters, you wrote lovingly about your late father (producer Bruce Paltrow) and his illness, and in another, you mentioned your son's love of a particular recipe. How do you balance sharing what shapes your insights and keeping your personal life private?

A: I just try to make each letter as authentic as possible, and I haven't censored myself. I don't go in it thinking, "Oh, I want to achieve this or come off this way." Everything I write, everything that is on there, is very much from the heart. It is very authentic, and I haven't yet written something where I felt "Ooh, that's too personal, I need to take that out" or "I should be more personal." Everything that has come out so far has been very organic and true.

 

Q: Can you say what is in store with the GOOP site?

A: It is never going to be a (traditional) website; it will remain a newsletter. I think in this day and age, people expect a website to have new content every 90 seconds, and there is no way I could do that and make it all be me.

 

Q: Is there any one aspect of putting the newsletters together that you love the most? The cooking? Writing?

A: I actually love doing all of it. We have great fun coming up with the recipes and testing them and feeding everyone in the house and asking, "What do you think of this? What do you think of that?" I also really enjoy the writing part, and I usually do that when my kids are asleep, and I just take a few minutes. I am by nature a very creative person, and I really can only do one movie a year because my kids are so small, and if I miss even two days of their lives, they're gone.

 

Q: What is up for you in 2009?

A: Well, I am going to do the second Iron Man film, and I will be working on this and maybe starting to work on cookbooks. Who knows, I'll see where it goes.

Wow, I hope Chris makes a lot of money in 2009...they are gonna need a bigger house for Gwyneth's giant ego:dozey:

[Mimixxx]

^:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:

 

I'd like to point out that my occasional criticism of GOOP does not stem from me having an "unhappy life" thanks Gwyn. :dozey::P

 

She needs to think before she speaks.

[melanieau]

Come on Mich. You know you'd be one happy fucking camper if you just did the master cleanse :P

[Mimixxx]

I'd certainly have a better relationship with my toilet that's for sure!

[LittleMissMessy]

I'd certainly have a better relationship with my toilet that's for sure!

 

*hahaha*

 

Not that Jonny will be getting jealous and is going to ask you 'What has the toilet what I haven't ....??!'

Hi,

 

Have you seen the latest edition of Goop 'Do' with Tracy Anderson? I don't know how to link it, but it has made me slightly wary of old Gwynnie and her super taught madonaesque buddy Tracy.

 

Don't get me wrong ( and Gwynth, I apologise for the noise I am about to make here), but what's all that crap about Duck and Polenta??? Could it be endorsement of wyneth's future cookery book she keeps mentioning in interviews. Okay, if it's endorsement, then I can cope with that, business is business, but if it's for real then YUCK YUCK YUCK. That is Gwynnie kissing if ever I saw it and made me laugh because she has put it on the screen for everyone to see and Tracy seemed well star struck!!!:laugh3:

[Jbella76]

Come on Mich. You know you'd be one happy fucking camper if you just did the master cleanse :P

 

 

I tried the Master Cleanse Lemonade diet a few years ago to cleanse and detox. They recommend at at least a week but the more the better. Yeah, it lasted half a day. As soon as I had to drink that nasty seasalt water, that was it. The lemonade isn't so bad. It's water, real lemon juice, some cayenne pepper and grade B Maple syrup. None of that processed syrup like Aunt Jemima. The Grade B is really good and I liked the lemonade. Ick, that salt water....

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

While Paltrow's husband, musician Chris Martin, took the kids (Apple, 4, and Moses, 2) ice skating :blush:

 

:cheesy:

 

i want to see chris ice skating! :lol: i bet he would either be pretty good or hilariously bad at it, and given the way he dances, i bet he would look hysterical flailing on ice :P

 

ANYWAY, maybe i'm just being too overly generous to gwyneth, but i don't think she meant that statement you marked with ":worried:" in a holier-than-thou sort of way--i took it to mean that negitivity can lead to unhappiness, which is something a lot of people believe. that's just my interpretation, though, and i think a lot of times i cut gwyneth more slack than she deserves. but if she would just stop with the diets and hoity philosphical stuff and kept it to clothes and food (maybe a few issues on a budget, too), then i'd completely love goop.

I thought she seemed a little ass kissy too lol. After watching that clip I decided to look up information on her DVD's anyway and found some postings by people who used to be members at one of her gyms. Apparently her business practice isn't too sound and she owes a lot of people money they paid in advance before she closed the place without notice. They had a lot of stuff to say about her character too...she brags about her celeb connections and makes up credentials according to these anonymous posters. Of course, as this is the internet and they are anonymous who knows what part of it is true, so take that with a grain of salt.

:lol:

 

I can see it now.

 

"It's important to stick to a budget when you're redecorating your house. When my designer wanted to put in a $100,000 chandelier I told him NO! So we compromised on the $75,000 one."

 

:laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

[Mimixxx]

I think maybe I wouldn't have taken that statement in a holier than thou type way if it was the first time she'd said something like that. But it's not, she has a habit of saying things like that.

 

Like her opinions on women who drink:

 

Paltrow intends to stay in Britain for the long term. "My husband's work is here." I wonder if she drinks more when she's in the UK than she does in the US. From the corner, the PR blurts out, "I do." Paltrow looks bemused. "I'm not really a drinker. Like the last time I got drunk was on holiday in Spain three years ago."

Wow. That's a long time sober. What's that about? "I think it's gross. I really don't like drunk women; I think it is such a bad look. I think it's very inappropriate and I don't like it."

 

Doesn't she feel boring at parties? "No. I think they're the idiot people and I'm the normal person. But I don't really go to parties where ... I don't really have drunk friends. My friends are kind of adult; they have a drink. But they hold their liquor. I think it's incredibly embarrassing when people are drunk. It just looks so ridiculous. I find it very degrading. I think, ooh, you're really degrading yourself right now, to be this pissed out in public." She looks startled by the strength of her own reaction and, recovering, smiles blamelessly and sweeps out of the room.

Don't get me wrong, I like Gwyneth for the most part too, it's just these little remarks she likes to make that grate on me from time to time.
