Gwyneth Paltrow shills for ‘Goop Wellness’ & bad science on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Gwyneth Paltrow during an appearance on ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'

Gwyneth Paltrow appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. She had a broken foot, because she “collided with the sofa” as she was packing Moses off to go to a retreat (she also said she’s broken toes at least eight times). I think she also probably broke her foot because her bones are dust because she doesn’t get enough vitamins. Speaking of, she was there to promote Goop Wellness, her latest foray into nonsense, bad science and Goop-branded crap for rich white women. What was interesting about the interview is that Kimmel asked her directly about some of the dumb sh-t Goop.com publishes, and she honestly didn’t know what some of the articles were about. Because she’s so hands-on, you guys. She works so hard! She’s such a trendsetter! She’s always at the forefront of everything! Except when her staffers just publish any random sh-t for clicks and Gwyneth doesn’t bother to read it.

Here’s the clip where she talks about “earthing” (walking around barefoot) and that stupid jade egg thing. It’s funny because Gwyneth can’t even keep a straight face about all of the dumb sh-t people will buy from her. There’s even more bad science here. Gwyneth is going to laugh and smug her way into a lawsuit one of these days.

She also talked about her kids and whether she’ll be sending them to camp.

    Go away

    She is just kind of awful.

  3. detritus says:

    Well her hair is looking better.
    Too bad she’s still maliciously ignorant.

  4. minx says:

    I’m not surprised she’s breaking bones and it will only get worse as she gets older.
    She’s so smug and ignorant, a bad combination.

    • Tourmaline says:

      Yeah her toe bones likely are composed wholly of desiccated kale dust at this point, no wonder they fracture at the slightest.

    • detritus says:

      wasn’t her osteoporosis a direct result of her incredibly restricted diet?
      THis woman has actually permanently harmed herself through her pursuit of ‘thin’, yet she’s a wellness brand.
      The mind boggles.

        In my family we found out the hard way weight lifting and vitamins will not protect your bones if you are not having regular periods, which is affected by a combination of stress, enough body fat, and eating enough.

        My mom has had an ED and walked and lifted weights and ate so ‘healthy’ her whole life but still her bones are weak from irregular menstruation her whole life. So she takes osteoporosis medicine (from an MD). The medicine works by redirecting bone density work from small parts of the body to the femur and spine. So her jaw has started crumbling. She has chronic pain in her mouth. It sucks 🙁

        My mom was always watching her food intake, always. She wore the same size clothes all her life, and loved the compliments on her body and how young and fit she looked, she has never had anything but flat abs but like Gwyneth her bones are weak.

        8-10 broken toes, and a foot bone that collapses when you run into the couch are not normal!!

        It all has been a powerful message to me that you are not necessarily healthier or healthiest just because you are thinner and toned.

    I can’t watch it while at work but I tend to laugh at her. Because it must be exhausting to keep this up for years. I mean her face, skin and hair don’t exactly advertise healthy living so why are people listening to her? She’s selling an idea. Like every other luxury brand. No bag is worth €3000, you pay for the name and idea. Same with her. I’m not interested but hey, if people don’t know what to do with their money, give it to her.

    I guess she won’t change

  7. JEM says:

    I like her lipstick. That’s the only nice thing I can think of. She’s pretty insufferable.

    • minx says:

      Yes. If I’m going to grit my teeth and say something positive–the darker blonde hair suits her and the lipstick looks nice.

  8. slowsnow says:

    I got second-hand embarrassment with the earthing bit. Really really badly. I actually felt bad for a priviledge white blonde cute woman. Turns out I’m the stupid one. Man, she’s good.

  9. AnnaKist says:

    So, you mean to tell me that what I’ve been doing ever since I became ambulatory at ten months – walking barefoot on the grass, the sand, over rocks, on dirt, in mud or puddles etc. – has it’s very own name, “earthing”? Wow. And all my kids did and do it, just like everybody else I know. Why, I even see complete strangers doing it every day. Who, except everyone, knew this was such a special activity? Wow.

  10. Mildred Pierce says:

    Where does she get all these ideas from? Or is she just advertising for other companies?

  11. Lola says:

    In defence of Gwyneth, I bought some items from her Goop skincare line. It’s pricey but not much more than I pay for certain department store items. It’s actually quite good. I’ve had skin blemishes and problems for most of my adult life (except when I was pregnant – yay hormones) and I’m delightfully pleased by the results.

    That said, her vaginal egg stuff and adrenal gland sh*t that she spews (along with all of her pseudo-science stuff) is dangerous and non-sensical. But she’s smart to get out of the fashion/lifestyle realm and into the wellness realm, where it is less crowded and seems more lucrative these days.

    If stupid rich women want to spend ridiculous amounts of money buying the shit on her website that’s their business. Why anyone would take health advice from a former actress is beyond me.

    I couldn’t even get through 5 minutes of the interview. Of course, she’s breaking toes left and right: the woman’s “healthy diet” has rewarded her with osteoporosis. It has also, evidently, allowed her brain to atrophy to a level of delusion, smugness, and grandiose self righteousness rarely seen in a sentient human being—in fact usually only observed in fascist dictators. (I’m not naming HIM, he’s too gross, but…) I hated hearing her bleat her self promotional drivel; in fact, if she were in a restaurant near enough to my table that I could overhear her self satisfied smirk of a voice, I would pay to be seated elsewhere, as far away from her as it was possible to be.
