Poor Gwen. You're BFFs with Courtney Love and Madonna, you're happily married and have two beautiful kids by well-adjusted, multi-millionaire rock star, you're an A-list actress who commands millions per role. Everything about you screams Hollywood Golden Girl, and you still can't get people to like you.
This economic death spiral is no time or place for GOOP. Gwen espousing the spiritual value of thousand-dollar accessories is not going to make any friends while we unwashed masses are living in boxes under the stage.
Chris will survive intact: professional musicians always do well during economic downturns because everyone's eager for something to make them feel better. But Gwenyth needs to close GOOP down and do some highly-publicized charity work, stat. We don't resent her for being who she is, but building her image around aspirational lifestyles none of us will ever have is a quick way to make even the most docile peon shout "viva le revolution!" crank some Rage Against the Machine and assemble a firing squad.
