Of all of Gwyneth “The Goop” Paltrow’s bad ideas, this one’s not so bad. It’s actually something she should have done a long time ago – she’s going to collaborate with Parisian clothing brand ZOEtee to make… tee shirts, I suppose. Probably more than just tee shirts, because Goopy wouldn’t just do peasantwear. I wonder if the shirts would say anything. You know, some sort of profound Goopisms, like “Goop Is Life” or “Happiness is a warm cup of Goop.” Why the hell didn’t we think of this before?
Poor Gwyneth Paltrow. We can scarcely imagine how trying it must be to accept that ever since she won an Oscar ten years ago, the world has been increasingly remiss in validating her admirably high self-esteem.
Her website, Goop.com, whose sole aim was “to put good things into the world,” was widely misconstrued as the out-of-touch ramblings of a narcissist, and then with the release of one of the few films she’s deigned to make recently, Two Lovers, all people could talk about was her co-star Joaquin Phoenix going nuts instead of her bravura performance. So how to rehabilitate the unjustly devalued Paltrow brand? Duh, a clothing line, of course!
It’s a collaboration with Parisian brand ZOEtee and even better, the proceeds are going to a children’s charity. No one could possibly find anything to criticize about that, could they?

Back in Goop’s heyday – and I mean the website – Gwyneth really wanted to make like she was the next Martha Stewart. There was even a rumor of Goop sheets and Goop kitchen stuff, which might have been sort of cool. Cooler than the dumb website, in any case. I approve of Goopy tees!
I have more Goop tee shirt slogans, by the way. Here are some more: “Goop is for lovers.” Or how about “Follow Your Goop” or “Don’t Worry, Be Goopy”? And “My mother signed up for Goop newsletters, and all I got was this dumb f-cking shirt.”

I am so sick of untrained celebs making clothing lines I could scream.

CHances are a bunch of overworked seamstresses and designers will slave away while she gets all the credit.
It’s how it usually works and I wonder if the people slaving away for these celebs secretly do the worst possible job just to humiliate them.

I have to be honest> I like Goop. I don’t see how GOOP is any different than any regular O Magazine, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Williams Sonoma, even msn.com! She has a website which promotes the things she knows, and being born into priviledge usually leans towards more expensive things. My mom made the apple cake she wrote about on her site, and said it’s delicious. Is Goop really THAT bad? It’s a website- much like you wouldn’t have to go on, say, a fetish porn site, you don’t have to go on Goop.

I’m wondering what work she has had done. Her eyes look weirdly cat-like and I think she has cheek implants. Does anyone know?

Can we blame Madonna for this?
Just wondering….
cuz they have both gone downhill even further since meeting one another…
and I’m venturing to say that it’s Madonna,the older one,who is to blame!
I mean,ever since they became inseparable,Goopy has gotten so much more self absorbed,and yea,she looks like she followed M. with the recent cheek implants! yuck!
I happen to find G. to be a fantastic actress.
I just wish she would have stuck to that instead of branching out into ridiculous self important forays.
Seriously,in her earlier films,she played a decent range of characters very well,IMO. Roles which required a range [internally/psychologically,not externally in life,per se] that she had not experienced. That takes talent,my friends. But that’s just me-i dont get when people say she sucks as an actress. To whom are you comparing her?
Anyway,let’s just blame them both for this one. At least she hasn’t adopted anyone. Yet.

Vale: GOOP is just another thing for the Paltrow haters to bag on. While I am not her biggest fan, I was lucky enough to meet her. She was kind, gracious and took the time to chat with me and giggle with my daughter. She earned some respect from me that day, after I had met some other celebrities who acted like they were blessing you just by making eye contact.

I don’t mind her giving people advice via a website, but she has to worst style and no taste whatsoever.

They won’t be your average tee – they’ll have to be made of hand-gathered dead leaves and day old used tea bags and other ‘natural’ things, stitched together with angel’s hair and packed in gold leaf bags – oh yes, and they’ll cost $500 each.
Snobby cow.

How about ‘I’m with Goopy’ or ‘Yes we Goop’?
‘Goopy says… Relax’.
Oh, this is addictive.

She needs to GO THE FU*K AWAY – and don’t come back. She is completely out of touch with reality. If Gwyneth Paltrow wants to throw her money at something, try charity.

You have to admit it is addictive coming up with new lines… My favorite though would be:
Frak Goop!!!
