The 12 Most Ridiculous Parts Of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Latest GOOP Newsletter

Did you know? Total lack of self-awareness! Gwyneth Paltrow’s weekly email newsletter, GOOP, is comprised of lifestyle tips from Paltrow that the everyday woman can relate to. Except that it’s not. Ever. Literally not once ever.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
The 12 Most Ridiculous Parts Of Gwyneth Pa...
Matt Cherette

This week, Paltrow thought working moms everywhere would just LOVE to see what it’s like to get photographed by Terry Richardson for the cover of “Harper’s Bazaar.” You know, to prepare them all for the day they’re photographed by Terry RIchardson for the cover of “Harper’s Bazaar.” Because EVERYONE is photographed by Terry Richardson for the cover of “Harper’s Bazaar” at one point or another, right?

While the newsletter held a “That’s so Gwyneth!” vibe of complete and utter detachment from normalcy throughout, I’ve decided to highlight some specific ones below.

1. The typically bourgeois introduction:

2. The reminder that she’s “Just like us!”:

3. The peek into the typical working mom’s post-school run professional makeup application:

4. The requisite hair-related “film noir” reference:

5. The third-party not-so-humble brag:

6. The admission of a flaw that actually does more to highlight the opposite:

7. The “I’m vulnerable, too!” moment of self-deprecation:

8. The “A working mom is NEVER off the clock!” reminder:

9. The… yeah, I’ve got nothing for this one.

10. The… yeah, I’ve got even more nothing for this one than I did for the last one:

11. The Hair and Makeup Ninjas action shot:

12. The “I’m blithely unaware of the fact that most women can’t spend $300 on any one piece of clothing, much less a knockoff version of my designer jumpsuit” recommendation:

      I am not usually one for complaining about something I can simply ignore but “Gywneth” is constantly cropping up everywhere so I’ll just say it: she is pretentious, snobby, hypocritical and annoying. We ALL know this. Let’s try ignoring her together and maybe she and her ridiculous newsletter will go away.

      Blah blah blah. If she added a disclaimer before every post stating that she knows $300 clothing or whatever high-end thing she’s talking about isn’t for everyone, she’d get shit for that too. Just stop yourself from looking at GOOP. She’s not pushing it on anyone.

      What the problem is - That she attempts to present herself as an everywoman that other every-day women should emulate. If she just presented herself as-is, it wouldn’t come off nearly as pretentiously.

      I don’t understand the hatred. As a minority has mentioned, this is her life and some of the things she cites, references or just says aren’t really pretentious, but common to her lifestyle. If someone happened to interview me, it would probably be laden of media references - that’s simply what my life revolves around and I can’t help but mention it. I’m pretty sure her green chai mochaccino diets, jasmine cowshit facial scrubs and out-of-place commoner factors are just who she is, which is rich and, as much as she would like to believe otherwise, out of contact with the COMMON FOLK. Let’s just move on until we’re rich.

      gwyneth is no longer an actress she’s a lifestyle brand. everything with her is about what to eat, how to diet, workout regimens, bla bla bla. we already have oprah and martha for that.

      Paltrow is the ultimate spoiled brat, a rich kid you has had everything thrown into her lap. She is completely oblivious to the fact that everyone else doesn’t live the way she does

    • J a year ago

      Complaining that her blog is unrealistic is like complaining to Maxim magazine that they should stop highlighting sports cars over $50K and bottles of whiskey over $40.

    • Brodka a year ago

      I don’t get it. Does she suggest her newsletter is for ordinary working moms? I get it that very few people can relate to her and her lifestyle, (I certainly can’t), but why are people offended about this? She’s a rich attractive woman who is writing a newsletter for rich attractive women. This is not shocking. Are the editors of Yachting magazine out of touch because joe six pack can’t afford a yacht? No. They aren’t. Their magazine isn’t for joe six pack. It’s for rich mo fos than are in the market for a yacht.

    • angelaw6 a year ago

      I guess some people somewhere can relate. It’s an atypical day in her life, she has every right to post about it, and no reason to apologize to strangers.
