This week, I was certain that I was going to be doing at least two royal stories a day, until Friday, which will be a huge royal coverage blowout. But I was wrong to think that, because we are still in the midst of GWYNETH PALTROW’S MEDIA SPECTACULAR, which is rapidly becoming way more important than any poppycock royal wedding, right? Gwyneth is better than some would be Lady Crumpets Middleton. Gwyneth is America’s Princess, deigning to speak down to all of us. So, in the same day we hear about Gwyneth’s new gig as the face of peasant handbags, we also get this gem. Gwyneth on Chelsea Lately. Ugh. Those two are perfect for each other:
Good God. Why do we have to listen to how Gwyneth is so tired and she’s been working so hard? She’s done some interviews and THREE book signings in two weeks. Some people could have knocked that out in one day, you know?
But know everybody is talking about how Gwyneth called her grandmother a Real C-U-Next-Tuesday. Gwyneth says, “She just hated my guts, basically, and she tried to poison my mother against me. But it didn’t work… she was just tough. You look back and think, she must not have been very happy and she must have had a lot of pain because she was as mean as hell.” So… basically, Gwyneth’s grandmother WINS in the end because she saw the little snotty Goop seedling and Grammy Mutti said to herself, “When that child grows up, she’s going to be the most insufferable woman the world has ever known.” The prophesy has been fulfilled, Grammy Mutti.

Saw it, she is classless.
Grandma must have been a mere peasant.
Anything for attention.
I think that is probably one of the ugliest ‘curse’ words, in my opinion.
These 2 are insufferable enough on their own, they should never have been exposed to each other.
She has the most annoying cuntface. she reminds me of a snotty old turtle.
I bet all her grandma did was fed her mac and cheese from the box once.
Why the hell does Goopy go on a show that explores the importance of her ancestors on one channel and then call her grandmother a c*nt on another? Way to show your respect.
@Hakura…ITA. I also agree with your post about Leann.
Their grandmothers saw them for their true selves and both grandmothers were very smart.
Funny way to become a “domestic goddess”. She seems to have some serious family issues as I don’t in any way see it being funny or edgy to call your own dead grandmother by that curseword. First ignoring her husband and living mother in most interviews and interactions, now calling her granny this. Weird.
Lord help us.
I wonder what Chris Martin’s… own Mother… thinks of Gwyneth.
Even if she has issues with her grandma, imo, she shouldn’t call her that.
She’s going to be a Grandmother one day…IF she’s lucky. I guess we’ll see how that goes.
I’ve called my mother this (not to her face) because she is just like Gwyn’s grandma. A mean nasty person who never liked her own daughter. What do you expect? I think this is funny….
Nasty. Both GP’s comment and CH in general.
no!, don’t you get it? she wants attention, she’s every where, trying to stay relevant, will say and do anything at this point,this is what it takes, I’ve seem this routine before, J. aniston.
I have always defended G. but this really is UGLY. Ugly word, ugly comment to make about one’s grandmother..totally uncalled for. I see her true colors shining through and it ain’t yellow…..
Team Grandma!
i just dont buy any of her stories ie- family, bonding, her child being a vegetarian and coming to it on her own (im not saying she didnt, it just all seems too contrived/convenient). good for her for being healthy, raising conscious children and having a sense of marketing but i think its 70% based on fact, 30% ego bullshit.
christ, ill take her being an author if it keeps her from singing.
(and really, who calls their dead g-ma a cunt on tv?)
Yes Gwenyth, everyone who hates you is unhappy and must be in “a lot of pain.”
It worked! She’s front page news again!
Calling your dead grandmother the c word on television in front of millions of people is heinous. It doesn’t matter WHAT the grandma was like – she wins this round.
My paternal grandmother went around telling people for YEARS that my father was not really my father-that my mother had cheated on him. She still didn’t know how to spell my 1st name when I was graduating high school. I’ve called her many names over the years, but I even have more class than to just throw that word out. Ugh…just reinforces my utter dislike for GP.
klassy. guess her granny was just a hater, too. oh! did you know goop has a real live sibling? yes! a brother who nobody ever talks about. i wonder if he’s a c*nt, too.
My own grandmother was very unloving and unfair towards me, so I can relate to the experience of having a bad grandmother.
But it speaks volumes about GP that she would use that most awful word in describing her own grandmother.
GP has talent, but no class.
My (real) peasant grandmother had more class in her pinkie than Goopy in her whole body.
How classless to air one’s dirty laundry in public like that. I didn’t expect any better from CH but Bruce and Blythe have failed majorly to bring her up properly.
To me that word is just trashy and classless and so is anyone who uses it. She has finally revealed her true colors.
She probably thinks this makes her sound edgy and real.
I actually feel embarrassed for her.
My husband’s mother (so, my kids grandmother) is a horrible, horrible, miserable, selfish mean bitch of a woman. And I still wouldn’t call her that.
WhiteNoise, I agree. Perhaps she thinks the common folk call their grandmas “c*nts” and this will make them buy her cookbook. I wonder if her husband calls G a c*nt. Probably.
G on Chelsea’s show us like the goody two shoes desperately trying to fit in with the cool kids.
Is she becoming more unstable? I mean, really, no matter what you are selling why would you say this out loud on TV? Very strange.
Even if Grandma was a total bastard on the order of Hitler and Pol Pot et al., it is beyond belief that any decent human being would call their own family that on television. Maybe she will defend herself by saying, “Relax, mere mortals, I meant ‘cunt’ in the British sense” or some bullshit like that.
my grandmother was an alcoholic, scary enough i haven’t heard why my uncle ran away asap from home, had an ugly ugly side i could never forgive her for, but would NEVER use that word. it’s an ugly, snotty, classless word to use to describe anyone.
ok, most importantly, what about BRAD PITT’S grandmother! Kidding- just a callback to her name-dropping Brad’s mom last week…maybe gywnie is losing it…
“Maybe she will defend herself by saying, “Relax, mere mortals, I meant ‘cunt’ in the British sense” or some bullshit like that.”
yes, exactly what will happen. then she’ll call her mommy a tit and her husband a knob-end and everyone will say “oh, gwynnie was just being BRITISH!”
Anyone notice how she only ever seems to talk about people after they die? Her dad? Her grandma? I never see anything about her mom, brother or husband. Wonder what she has to say about them.
This is terrifying. Has she quit acting to be the world’s ambassador for brown rice full time? When was the last time she was even in a freakin’ film? Who the hell would spend money on this crap…Seriously, who is this for? I take it she’s counting on there being someone out there who wants culinary tips from a woman who calls her kids MosesAppleBum. I hope to God she is wrong.
did she just pick her nose?
[video segment halfway through]
man, the sound of her voice is grating.
If her grandmother was mean and treated her badly, why should she whitewash it?
Same for mothers, mothers-in law, a brother etc.
Some people who happen to be “family” may be terrible people who treat their relatives like c—.
So, why should we pretend to play a PR game as if they are great if they were mean and awful human-beings?
This is actually they first time Gwyneth is saying something real for a change.
Should we encourage those actors to act 100% of PR BS all the time?
Maybe Gwennie acted like she knew everything back then too!
@ Delta Juliet
I agree – it serves no purpose to go on TV and say these things. That defeats the purpose of having best girlfriends!
@ whoamI?
I agree too – why does she only talk about the dead relatives, not the live ones – i.e. her mother, brother or (gasp!) her husband.
Grandmother was quite prescient wasn’t she?
NOW would be the time for Martin to file for divorce. Everyone would understand.
What’s with her face? Looks like it’s been stretched. She’s awfully young to be messing with it. No one that young and trim needs a facelift.
Fine for her to dislike her Grandmother, but her Grandmother is not in the business and is not around to defend herself. I don’t recall hearing her mother or father saying anything. Kaiser I agree that the Grandmother saw a glimpse of what type of woman she was going to grow up to be. And listening to some of her Mother’s comments.. I think her Mom sees it too.
I don’t think it was right for her to be mistreated..if that was the case.
It is a disgusting word to use. But look at whose show she is on.. Filthy Handler. I have no respect for that “lack of a better word” woman.
Gwenny seems so desperate. She seems to be trying to be something. Like a man going through a midlife crisis..
I don’t like her. That word.. using it against a woman any woman is low class and bad form. She has a daughter.
Umm, I don’t think anyone is saying she should lie about her grandmother. Surely there is some middle ground between painting a portrait of grandma being all sweetness and cookie-baking and calling her one of the most disgusting words in the English language to describe a person.
My mother’s mom was a horrible person and even I probably wouldn’t call her that on a talk show. Jeez!
My grandmother was “tough” too so I can relate.
What’s worse than a bitch? A c-u-*-t of course. It was obviously a joke. Not to everyone’s taste and not exactly hysterical, but look what show she was on when she said it. This is Chelsea Lately, not The View. The people that watch often don’t mind the vulgarity.
And I buy her daughter choosing to be a vegetarian on her own. Besides it being such a stupid thing to lie about, it happens. My two year old nephew refuses to eat meat of all sorts, doesn’t seem to enjoy the taste and gravitates towards “bunny food”. The kid will spit out a chicken nugget (which kids normally seem to go crazy over) for a piece of lettuce every time.
They’re both more obnoxious than I thought humanly possible.
@Lisa– you are so right– low class, bad form…
And “ew” to Gwyneth…she annoys me as much as the next person, but her ladyship’s body odor is emanating. I don’t care who you grandmother is, it is never polite, never classy to slam her in front of others. It says more about her than anything about her grandmother.
She is trying SO HARD to be cool. So hard. It’s kind of sad how hard she has to try to show she’s “down with the peeps.”
Pity the Grandma’s concentrated on “poisoning” her Ma against her instead of going for the jugular, she must have had some pity in her stone heart after all
Well, I loved my grandma, on my mother’s side, although she did use the “chankla” (see dlisted) when my brother and I were bad, which was pretty often. My dad’s grandma was a depressive, although I don’t think she knew it, and could be a martyr, but to call either of them the C word. Never. In public? Never. I never thought I’d see the day when I had more class than Goopy, but I do.
good grief, she’s more insufferable than madonna
this is just ol fishsticks trying to seem very british (the brits use this word a lot and don’t flinch at it at all).
My grandmother was a c*nt, too. I hate that word, so I probably wouldn’t say it on air, but sometimes you just gotta call a spade a spade.
Excuse me, but can we dispel this myth that Brits go around calling people c*** all the time – utter bollocks!
I have heard the word used far more here in the US than I ever did in the UK!!!
There is NOTHING “British” about calling your grandma or anyone else the C word!
My beloved grandmothers would rise from their graves and bitch-slap me silly if I ever called them that in the privacy of my own home, much less on television.
Poor Gwynnie, she’s ALWAYS been misunderstood.
I suppose her amazing, magical and infallible father never mentioned anything about not speaking ill of the dead.
She seemed pretty relaxed and real to me. My father was an asshole. I have said that to people though it always makes me feel a bit guilty.
Horrible. It’s just wrong to speak this way about a family member who’s passed on to the public – it shows no respect. I understand she was trying to make a point and taking up the gauntlet to defend her mother but she could have done this without using the c-bomb for ‘shock value.’ As it is, no one’s going to give any more sympathy to Goopy for this latest attention-seeking effort.
I wonder how GOOPs mother feels about her mother being publicly derided in this way? Notice that GOOP never said that her grandmother was a bad mother — only that she didn’t like GOOP. Guess what — neither do I. That doesn’t make Grandma a C- -T. It makes her perceptive. Ad it was disgusting of GOOP to share this.
@kimble, hahaha. i was wondering how it suddenly became a british thing.
i think she has issues with her mom. everything i’ve ever seen her say about her seems to be…off. like passively insulting or dismissive.
eta: i dont think her cookbook is selling well.
In a GOOP related story, Micheal D at Dlisted has the funniest comment on her becoming the face of Coach:
Fishsticks Paltrow’s first order of business as Coach’s new ambassador will be to change the name of their brand to “First Class”
Just logged back on to ask a question about Goopy’s new relationship with the Coach brand (which nobody buys anymore anyway): Does anyone think that Goop was being deliberately controversial to bring attention to this brand? Marketing ploy or just a bitter granddaughter?
Chelsea Handler famously called another woman a c u next tuesday (Angelina). So perhaps Gwyneth felt she could get away with it on Chelsea’s show? Either way, both ‘women’ are classless and disgusting.
WOW, that is just inappropriate. I think she is really going through a bad mid life crisis and wants to keep herself still relevant. How can a woman who has it all be so damn stupid? I will surprised if there will be people who would buy her cooking book. it mus be a torture to go through pages of her book just thinking Gwyneth. And I am one of the people that has been not so negative towards her but calling her grandma a c..t in front of TV is totally trash.
Was she speaking about her maternal grandmother? Gee, Blythe Danner must be so proud…
Well i like her acting she just had hard feelings about her grandmother.she must of been really hurt when she was young. I love all my grandchildren the same.I hope they forgive me if i have ever hurt them. She should not of said what she did. But she must feel better now that she got back at her .I love her singing an acting .Be good Gwyneth don’t hurt your self on TV people like to judge everybody. You know were so perfect.
i wonder what her mother thinks.
that is just one of the ugliest words and it speaks volumes about paltrow that she would use it to describe her grandmother.
i am really shocked that she would call her grandmother that name. shame on you. i really thought she was a lady
@Kimble: For what it’s worth, I have no idea the frequency of use of that word in the UK nor what spirit it is said in. I was just making a dig on how GP tends to look down on American culture.
She is such a whiner and complainer.
I’m guessing some of you watched the clip and others didn’t. The comment was made jokingly and flippantly, responding to what CH said. I certainly have blurted out crude things in the moment that I regretted. Thankfully they weren’t on national TV…
Well, apparently Eva Longoria’s cookbook came in number 5 on the bestseller list its first week and this person’s came in at number 7. This won’t help sales and it is a bit of a slap in the face to her. Longoria did not pimp herself out this much or badmouth her grammy. Paltrow just wanted to hit the same low level as Handler and that is not hard. Handler is as low as it gets.
I didn’t like my grandmother either. She was mean and I’ve told a few friends that. But I wouldn’t talk about her or any other family member in a public setting like that. A girl I went to high school with totally ripped apart her brother at our class reunion. She said the awfullest things about him in front of a LOT of people. I thought that was pretty uncool. But then, she’s always been a pretty big C U next Tuesday.
I always thought she was over rated. Now what? She’s trying to be a new Bethany Frankel / Martha Stewart? An Oscar and acting wasnt enough? She always comes off as this weird mix of uber arrogant and fake down to earth. I declare her gross.
Disgusting. Way to keep it ‘classy’ GOOPY.
my birth vessel was a drug addicted hooker and I wouldn’t call her that in private,much less in public.
Horrible GP, what is wrong with u. madonna is bad enough but trying to be the British Gynie…not working. Sometimes it.s to thier advantage to keep thier mouths closed.
I’ve never heard any women friends or foes use that word…usually it’s teenage broken heart boy or a loser middleaged man/boy…very nasty sexual terminoloy.
I heard she wants to take on the Oprah crowd with her goop and profond worldy knowledge. What does anyone else think.
She lost any last respect I had for her. GP apologize for what you said about your passed elder! if u you don’t alot of people will be tuning out on you.
yuck. When will she fade away?
Why the hell would her grandmother try to turn her mother against her? What possible reason would make a woman do that unless Gwynnie herself was the evil one. That is the oddest story I have heard in a long time.
What is wrong with you guys and all the nasty remarks? Maybe Gwyneth Paltrows grandmother was a major bitch and hated her guts! It happens you know.
I admire Gyneth Paltrow. She’s one of the best actresses out there and she’s also a good cook obviously. She has a great relationship with her mother and had a great relationship with her father.
I love Paltrow..and I think she’s beautiful.
Perhaps I’m desensitized to vulgarities, being a fairly crass person myself. Frankly, I prefer calling things with their names and I can assure you my grandma ain’t no bitch, she’s a full on C-word (see? I’m being classy towards your sensitive selves!)
While Goop is fairly intolerable, I’m not going to call her out this time. Besides, C-word in US seems to be the vilest of words while in Britain it doesn’t seem to be nearly as offensive. So I don’t know.
You go, Goopy! Be sincere in your speech for once, relieve your anger, swearing’s known to reduce stress, perhaps you’ll become less insufferable, with all the sap run out..
Well, apparently the C****T gene skipped a generation.
When I watched the interview, it wasn’t as bad as I expected–not uttered with much force or venom–but still dumb and classless. Maybe GP thought it was funny since CH had infamously used the term for Jolie, interesting that CH didn’t really bite.
I’ve always stood up for Paltrow on these threads. I admit I like her acting in earlier films, even as recently as 2006 or whenever that movie “proof” was made. But this is pretty terrible. I absolutely hate that word. And while I do think some women in hollywood are conniving snakes, I flinch to hear them being called the same. But to call your own grandmother that. And after she’s dead! It’s terrible. Maybe her grandmother really was evil to her. But why would you say something like that on television? What few people she had defending her will probably turn a blind eye now. Maybe she thought it would give her some attention. I guess it probably will. Negative attention.
Glad to see everyone sees CH effect on otherwise pristine celebs.TEAM JOLIE!!!
Celebrities have run out of things to say when they start dissing their grandparents. It’s also boring. Right on #6.
Besides, C-word in US seems to be the vilest of words while in Britain it doesn’t seem to be nearly as offensive.
i was wondering how it suddenly became a british thing.
Excuse me, but can we dispel this myth that Brits go around calling people c*** all the time – utter bollocks!
I have heard the word used far more here in the US than I ever did in the UK!!!
There is NOTHING “British” about calling your grandma or anyone else the C word!
* * * * * *
Well, which is it? All I know is that when I was working on a film in London, that word was bandied about regularly. I rarely hear it on a set in the States. Don’t care either way, actually, but let’s not get our panties in a bunch.
You know you’ve hit rock bottom when you’re crawling in the gutter with Chelsea using the language of hookers!! Nice job, Gwyneth. You did your mama proud.
This grandmother probably lacked financial means and the proper connections to warrant this spoiled brat’s attention. Who knows maybe this grandmother realized that Goop’s parents were raising a spoiled little twit and she was the only family member who wasn’t cater to Goop’s every demand.
Our dear gp IS white trailer trash at heart after all, isn’t she??
Gah, why can’t I stop reading these? First, I’m not remotely offended by the word cunt, nor by someone calling their grandmother that. I tell people all the time that my father is kind of a jerk (he is, and I use stronger language normally), but that’s one of the things we love about him. And there is a difference in the way people see the offensiveness of the word in the US than England. Plus, having watched the clip instead of just reading the article, I don’t see why people are making such a big deal. It was actually a much more charming interview than I would have expected, and I am shocked to find myself so much in agreement with her about the whole kids/cooking/responsibility thing.
Having said that, I really do wonder about this site’s hard on for GP. Seriously? The article implies that GP is up there whining about how much she’s doing, when Handler says something about it and GP just laughs it off. I get that you don’t think her job is hard work, but seriously, find me someone who could do multiple tv interviews (all of which require a decent amount of hair and makeup time, in addition to filming) and three book signings in various places, given that you also have to do wardrobe changes for all of those, in a day. I want that person to come help me with my scheduling.
Please, stop putting such a BS spin on what is actually said. When you do, I have to read the whole source article, or watch the whole video, and I have to admit, I find her kind of charming when I do. Which would never have happened otherwise, and which vaguely troubles me.
Some people are just mean, miserable people.. true..even Grandmothers, but still no reason to be vulgar and classless yourself.
Just appearing on Chelsea Lately is sinking to the lowest possible common denominator…NO CLASS.
You know what ,,, If my granddaughter would call me that no matter what the fight is about she would be put out of my life right away that is the nastiest word that I have learned here in the States
C***y Grandma aside, Gwyneth is a skank.
Sat at a table near her in the Hamptons once, she looked like something the ocean threw up.
I love Gwyneth. I’m not afraid to admit it. Whenever I see she’s going to be on something, I make a point to watch it. I like the way she sings, GOOP, her comments about her kids, her acting, her lifestyle choices and her cookbook. So all of you haters who think that no one likes her or you have to be stupid to like her can take a leap. I am an educated women with children of my own (MA in theater and voice, thank you very much). Oh, and I am not afraid of any words. Words only have power when we give them power. So, call your grandma a cu*t if that’s what she is, especially in the lighthearted manner in which it was done.
Goopy Paltrow is ridiculous. You’ve had sexy times with Brad Pitt. You’re using dollar bills as memo pads. You work hard? Psh, join the rest of the world. So your grandma was mean? Boo hoo. Don’t act like a classy lady and then call one of your relatives a c!nt on tv. (And she wonders why people think she is annoying.)
you people need to lighten up!
Why do celebs air their private grievances to the world? What do they think they’re accomplishing? Do they think they will appear relatable?
As far as saying nasty things about your family–so many celebs go there: Rosanne, Tom Cruise, Jen Aniston, etc. It’s almost cliche at this point–my life is hard–my family has been MEAN to me. It’s like some attention-getting ploy, or play for sympathy. Bah, stick a sock in it and go see a therapist. 🙂
I’ve always been a GP fan, but that
was a classless thing to say on national
TV in front of millions of people.
A fan no more.
These stars are alway yelling at the photographers to respect their privacy, then they go on TV to make a clear ass of themselves.
“Please, stop putting such a BS spin on what is actually said. When you do, I have to read the whole source article, or watch the whole video, and I have to admit, I find her kind of charming when I do. Which would never have happened otherwise, and which vaguely troubles me.”
THANK YOU.
She can live in London and raise kids with posh accents but when push came to shove, she showed her true class. Below everyone else. Maybe she is trying to be one of the people, but nope, she’s way down beneath everyone else in true status. NO ONE says that about their grandmother!! Unless she bummed her bum with something bummy. Which, doesn’t seem to be the case at all. She just didn’t like it that her grandmother saw her snottiness and called her mom on it, who apparently, looked the other way. Her mother, DOES have class. A LOT! Too bad it didn’t rub off on Goopmeister.
I love how everyone who doesn’t like her or calls her out on her ridiculousness is “projecting” or “must have a lot of pain” but it’s perfectly fine for her to call her gran a c!nt. Wow, this girl is insecure.
Gwynith Paltrow who is talented like thousands of pretty girls are, only got where she is because of her very powerful father and because movie people did her father favors for years more or less forcing them to put her in films. Why she still classlessly fights a war with a woman who is dead I’ll never know. It wasn’t attractive or smart.
It’s just a word. So what? You didn’t grow up with her grandmother and you don’t know what she was like.
I find it very ironic that many of the comments are making fun of her, saying that she looks down on people as “mere mortals”, while at the same time judging her for one little word that she spoke, as though she’s not human, as humans are allowed to “make mistakes”, like swear and be improper at times. She was being bluntly honest. If you don’t like her or her word choice, which, clearly, most of you don’t, then don’t watch her. It’s quite simple, really.
wow- almost every time this nasty woman opens her mouth, it’s cringe-worthy. Between her & ride, thoughtless Aniston (the “retard” slur is just the tip of the iceberg), Brad Pitt must thank his lucky stars to have escaped!
In continuation of my first comment… I think this word is the only one *I’ve* never said.
I toss about all the others on a regular basis, but I don’t think I’ve *ever* said the C-word. (I just always referred to it as ‘the c-word’, so I wasn’t saying it.
Just such an ugly word.
