Oh, Gwyneth. She’s gives us so much pain, so much joy, so much laughter and so many tears. After taking a “Goop holiday” (Goopiday?) for three-and-a-half months, Gwyneth’s little Goop blog is back. The Goop site got a complete redesign (which isn’t all that user-friendly, honestly), and Gwyneth is now offering a “Goop Collection” which consists of a pair of $200 jeans, a $90 white t-shirt, and a new addition: bikinis. All of which are offered in no size larger than 8. Anyway, this week’s Goop-letter – her first since the first week of April – is all about “travel”. Here’s what Goop has to say:
A little trip away in the summer is exciting and rejuvenating, especially if you can’t take all of August off like the Italians/French do. Always looking for a new idea or two, we asked some cool travel experts to point us in the right direction.
Love,
gp
Is it just me or is that carefully worded? “A little trip away in the summer is exciting and rejuvenating, especially if you can’t take all of August off like the Italians/French do.” Gwyneth usually takes August off, like an Italian or a Frenchwoman too. I get the feeling Goop is not in her wheelhouse with this one, this whole idea of a “short vacation” or a “little trip” – it’s such a peasanty-y concept, don’t you know? The elites get to take vacations for the whole summer. Anyway, the rest of the Goop-letter just reads like a travel brochure, as Gwyneth offers suggestions and advice for where peasants should go for their “little trips”.
In other Gwyneth news, she’s in talks to take another lead role in a film. Because Hollywood doesn’t understand that America is no longer interested in seeing Goop carry a film, I guess. But don’t think that Goop will be going old-school and doing some costume drama (how gauche!). No, Goop is in talks to play… a CHEF! She might take the lead in the film adaptation of Gabrielle Hamilton’s 2011 “foodie memoir” Blood, Bones & Butter. THR says, “Like Paltrow, Hamilton is something of a jack-of-all-trades. The owner and chef of New York’s Prune restaurant also is a trained writer with an MFA from the University of Michigan. The book chronicles Hamilton’s unconventional background — she is the youngest of five siblings born to a French mother and an artist father who made the sets for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus — as well as her unorthodox trajectory to becoming a chef.” Well, the actual woman sounds very interesting, but I can’t say I’m all that interested in seeing Goop simper and smug her way through a movie about any of this.

That’s an entertaining blind item re: GP.
Perhaps this is why she has taken to texting en masse via Goop; because no individuals answer her texts anymore.

Hmmm. If I felt like trolling her I’d go to her site and ask her why she only goes to size 8 on her clothing. I mean, I already know why, but still. I would love to see her answer that question. I’m sure she’d say that being over a size 8 is simply unhealthy and she doesn’t want to support anything unhealthy. Bleh.

LOL. Or… she would simply ignoring your question as it’s a very rude thing for a peasant to ask her about that?

I am an Italian, and it happens I live in French, unless you’re superich, you work in a public school, or you’re unemployed no way to have all months of August off.

Exactly what I was thinking! I’m french and the only way you can take all of august off is to be a teacher,a kid or a student because our schools are closed in august. But you know, the only italian or french people that Goop knows are billionaires lol.

YES! That’s what I was thinking, too. It’s a bit stereotyped-offensive, really. Does Gwynneth think that entire European countries just stop running for a whole month, just because it’s august? There are Italian and French peasants, too, Gwynnie, and they work for a living- even when it’s hot.

Well It’s Goop who sees things…that don’t exist.
In august life in Italy, and French is slower, because the majority of workers have their TWO WEEKS of holidays, usually we take or the first or the last 2 weeks of the month.
Only the luckiest ones can have three, no way one month off. That’s why the cities seems empty. Naturally if you are superich it’s quite different.

This isn’t just a French/Italian thing…much of Europe is like this. My boyfriend is from Norway and everything in July kind of stops because people will save vacation until then and usually take off 2-3 weeks to enjoy the weather. Sweden is like that too. They’ll save vacation time (though in Norway they get a little more anyway)and go all out in July – it’s like the only month of nice relatively warm weather and most people try and take some advantage of it.

Wow in the first picture she looks just like her mom, Blythe Danner, who I like. Sometimes, I think she purposely writes her Goop stuff because she knows it gets on the different gossip sites, like this one and it keeps people talking about her.

I think you hit the nail on the head, because if Goop didn’t have her blogs who would talk about her.

If she doesn’t stop flat ironing her f*cking hair…

I am so with you on this one. I have NEVER understood the whole I want long hair even if its thin and stringy as long as its long thing. So many girls have fried and over dyed long hair. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine. If your hair is unhealthy get a bob or cut it short unless you don’t mind everyone making fun of you behind your back… My friend and I had this thing growing up when we saw a girl with fried long hair we would move our fingers in a scissor motion and say snip snip. Gwen’s hair looked really good when the first Iron Man came out and she had the bob going.

To say that celebrities are out of touch, is an understatement to say the least. Many of us here in the US will be taking staycations, Gwyneth, it is called a recession. I know that you don’t have that word in your vocabulary, so look it up. BTW, do enjoy your vacation on Uncle Steve’s yatch in the south of France or where ever else it is moored this summer.

Oh good Lord, the promotion tour for that film would be insufferable!!!
Is it really a clothing collection if you only offer 3-4 items? And what’s with limiting it to a size 8 max?
That $90 t-shirt looks like a typical thin Hanes. I really think her only target audience is herself.

Does she still think of herself as an actress first & a lifestyle expert second? Personally I just think of her now as a well connected dilettante who has benefited greatly from nepotism. The first big clue came when Brad dumped her and said something about having believed the hype about her too. Fake fake fake!
Report this comment as spam or abuse
You are correct, Sir! She owes most of her career to Mama, Papa, and Godfather Spielberg.
A dilettante she is, and an elitist one at that. She thinks she is gifting the “unwashed masses” with her lofty pronouncements. It’s plausible that she’s the type of actor who thinks she’s an expert chef, singer, lawyer, whatever, because she played one in a film. Even if I had the money, I would never buy the crap she’s selling.

I don’t like side-boob and hate fried, ironed hair. I really wish that trend would stop. My sister has been wearing her hair like that for over 10 years and it looks like shit. I have cousins in southern Italy and they did take off for many weeks during the summer, but it’s also because they don’t have f*cking AC and it’s hotter than hell. All the aunts and uncles vacationed together in RVs – I went there when I was 22 and it was one of the best summers of my life. They’d have a separate tent with full cooking facilities – and, they were not “affluent” or whatever the hell Gwyneth is accustomed to. It seemed to be more about the family being together too. We also had showers in the campgrount that operated on “gettone -” tokens that would give you about 5 minutes of hot water before shutting off. Goop would NEVER put up with that.

I don’t begrudge her perpetual vacation, but I blame her for the side-boob trend among 30 something moms. See: Katie Holmes.

Gwenyth is a never-was hanger-on who lives off her husband and pretends to be perfect at parenting, decorating, healthy living, makeup, fashion… (NOT!). Where are her kids while she shows up at all these openings looking like a popsicle stick with an expensive dress. How dare she! I may be a peasant, but I put my life on the line for the high and mighty like her for 22 years and two wars. I am now permanently disabled and partially disfigured soldier. She can take her scrawny, irrelevant skanky tail back home where it belongs!! P.S. Eat a burger or two!

Well when goopy vacations it is a pastime , not a necessity. Her life is a vacation . Come work a real job then take a week off , all you are going to want to do is sit on your couch and numb fuck your mind before you go back to working doing what your company use to have five people doing before the economy turned to crap ..
Umm but I’ll go back to wondering if my ass complements my couch cushions ..,,,, lol

on ontd they posted a goop article where she described a day in her life, complaining how hectic it is and how she has only 2 hours to have tea and work on goop newsletter. it was such a joke and a slap on the face on us peasant women who have to work at actual jobs for tedious long hours.
