Gwyneth is not in her finest form. Even though Chris Martin didn’t get served a lawsuit, last night at the Grammy’s, Gwyneth introduced an “utterly brilliant” British band – Radiohead, rather than Coldplay (her husband’s band), and she sounded like she was high. Perhaps it’s not just cigarettes Dame Paltrow is smoking? Or perhaps she’s come around to the idea that her husband Chris Martin wishes he was Thom Yorke? This comes on the heels of some woman accusing Gwyneth of being totally unoriginal with her GOOP.
A journalist and holistic website founder has slammed Gwyneth Paltrow’s healthy eating newsletter – accusing the actress of copying her idea.The Oscar-winning actress launched her own lifestyle newsletter and website, Goop.com last year (08), where she provides wholesome living tips and cookery advice.
However, rival health website The Weekly Beet.com’s founder Mary Kate Hearon claims the actress stole her idea after she approached Paltrow’s pal to seek out the star’s approval.
She tells New York gossip column PageSix, “This is pretty scandalous. People deserve to know (Paltrow’s) idea isn’t her own – or creative, for that matter! . . . A few years ago, I had e-mailed Gwyneth’s best friend . . . when I was living in London. I asked her to e-mail Gwyneth The Beet because I was excited for her to read it since she was one of the few celebs into alternative medicine.”
And despite Paltrow allegedly insisting she was a fan of the site’s message, Hearon claims the actress was less than friendly when they finally met.
She adds, “The way she treated me was so scary! She was sooooooo nasty to me, it was scandalous! (Paltrow’s husband) Chris (Martin), the utmost gentleman, stood to shake my hand, but she smirked and was silent when I asked how her dinner was . . . I never thought in a million years she’d . . . create her own site very similar to The Weekly Beet . . . (Goop has) the therapies I’ve tried, the foods I love, the detoxes that work! A lot of the same stuff!”
However, a friend of Paltrow’s has slammed Hearon’s accusations, telling PageSix, “She’s never even heard of (Hearon). This is ridiculous.”

I totally believe that GOOP is unoriginal. Something about Paltrow just screams “fake”, I just can’t put my finger on it. I also totally buy that Gwyneth is that nasty and impolite in real life. If she acts that way with the press, it must be worse with people who know her in private.
To be fair to Paltrow (why?), nothing on GOOP is incredibly original. I’d imagine she got the ideas from several different sources, rather than copy just one source. It seems weird to me that she would copy one vegan cook’s stuff when the site has a lot of ritzy consumerism crap that doesn’t actually appeal to that target market.

That outfit is hideous. Kinda like prom 1995.
I thought it was hilarious that Gwynnie introduced Radiohead last night.
Alecto: Agreed. She looks awful!
And, just for the record, Chris Martin is a retarded dung beetle when compared to the genius that is Thom Yorke.
Not sure why I’m in mod — I didn’t even swear!
gwynnie should just rename it “poop”…there! problem solved, and so much more accurate.
Evening dresses go so well with a cardigan.
I kinda like her outfit on top…then something goes hideously wrong at the tights/shoe combo. It should work in theory. But that’s theory.
Gwyneth has really been chasing the dollar since Iron Man. She’s always let all the media know how she was such a dedicated vegetarian, then she goes and signs a modelling contract with a furrier… or maybe she was doing all this at the same time as the tabloids were saying her marriage was on the rocks… more weird than usual…
The fact that this Beet’nic (you see that.. a play on words, eh eh?) repeatedly uses the word ‘scandalous’ to describe Lady Gwyneth is more of an indicator to me that she’s just trying to drive people to her site and get publicity. The use of the media to draw attention to yourself? Scandalous!
*PS Hardly a scandal. More of a storm in a pee cup.
Why do women insist on wearing tights with open toed shoes? Wasn’t this a big no-no for a long time? It looks LAME!
Scandalous! God, what an awesome word.
SCANdalous! Scannalus!
OMMFG – WHAT is she wearing??? Great dress but get a decent hairdo, ditch the cardie, the tights and the person inside the dress and you’d have a good outfit!
As much as I’d like to ding GP for plagarism her site could be an amalgamation of a zillion sites already out there…AND as boring. Its just annoying to the ‘enth degree because it orginates with Ms Anal Retentive here…
Anyone else think her outfit just screams “I’m trying really REALLY hard to be hip and cool??”
GP and her lame husband are a joke. She has no taste whatsoever and they both seem to think they are above other people..Apple they name their kid Apple and think they are great parents?? He litterally stole that song..and hope he gets nailed big time for it too.
I think she looks gorgeous and hip. If you don’t think so, perhaps it’s your wardrobe that is the problem?
Oh and wearing tights with open toed shoes is SO British! It’s everywhere in London. More proof you have no idea what your talking about critiquing her outfit.
I stayed up till 5am uk time to see Radiohead outperform everyone at the Grammys.
The performance was amazing!
My only concern beforehand was wether or not that wet blanket would introduce them, the fact that she did seemed to draw even more attention the fact that Coldplay can never reach the creative heights that Radiohead have.
Poor old Chris has always wanted to be more like Thom Yorke.
Poor old Gwynnie doesnt know who she should be.
I actually love everything about this outfit… just not the way it’s put together. I’d happily take all of those pieces and wear them with the right things. Those tights photograph really well!
I’ll gladly stay out of style thank you cause i think she looks ridiculas.
the dress is too short for her and the shoes should be matte. I agree with Coco Chanel that tights should not be worn with open-toed shoes. Madam Chanel knew what was & wasn’t fashionable.
Paltrow is a rude elitist snob for no apparent reason, we know who she is only because she was born to an actress & director. She should be thankful and not smug, thus showing how unintelligent she actually is
