Dame Goopy rises from the ashes like a sanctimonious phoenix and awaits her reward for thinking so highly of herself. The reward: Gwyneth has been invited to the Oscars. No, she wasn’t nominated for acting, silly! Country Strong was simply too powerful a Britney Spears-esque exploration of being drunk and twangy to earn an acting nomination. And of course Dame Gwyneth would not deign to be a mere presenter. Of course not! Her dear friend Beyonce performed a “musical compilation” (that’s what “the children” are calling it these days) at the Oscars, so Dame Gwyneth must follow in her best dear friend’s footsteps. So yes, in addition to performing (“performing”) at the Grammys, Dame Gwyneth has deigned to grace the Academy Awards stage to perform a song from Country Strong. The song? “Coming Home”. Let’s see if I can find that junk….
Oooh! Here it is:
Holy crap, IS SHE SINGING ABOUT A DOUBLE WIDE?!?! LMAO.
I can’t even finish this junk, I’m laughing too hard. God bless Gwyneth.

Goopy must think the award show is an episode of “GLEE”….bahahahaha.
LMFAO
Of course she’s going to perform at the Oscars, the song was nominated.
mmh, mhh, hahah…i’m started giggling as soon as read that. tee-hee. 😆
Wow! I didn’t know she could sing that good. Amazing. I don’t like country, but being the first time I heard this song I love it….speechless
She looks like she’s giving the crowd an up close and personal shot in the first pic.
I love this story!
The title alone made me laugh out loud. And then the article! Too funny
I can only hope it’s as funny as her performance in the movie. COUNTRY STRONG is a bad movie classic and her performance is the main reason why. I only wish ‘Shake That Thang’ was nominated instead so we could see her attempt to dance. Alas, this one’s a ballad, so no awkward dancing.
Jesus Christ. She’s like a roach!!! She’ll “perform” at every. single. awards show this season. Ugh!!!
I didn’t see Country Strong, but I did see a clip of a song from it that I thought was much better than any of Gwynnie’s: Give In To Me, as sung by Garret Hedlund and Leighton Meester. Very nicely done. And I’m not a country listener, either.
That’s what hubris gets ya.
lol, it cracks me up that Gwyneth Paltrow is now wearing CROSSES in an attmept to look more ‘country’ in her perfomances despite being a flaming Jew and Kabbalist!
I know Gwyneth is not easy to like, but you sound so freaking irrational when you write about her.
i wish i coulod fix the sound on my computer
In the name of all things Goopy, make it stop.
@luls – “A flaming Jew.” Really?? That’s great, you should get together with Mel Gibson. BTW, she’s only wearing crosses for her scenes IN the movie. Give me a break.
Let this wave of Gwyneth be over soon…
oh wait.. there’s a cookbook coming.. oh GOD…
Oh bloody hell – a COOKBOOK? I suppose all the ingredients to her recipes will need to purchased from Harrods or one of her favourite fishmongers in Sloane Square or that gourmet little Deli in some obscure part of Manhattan
divax: fyi – flaming – angry, critical, disparaging
Yes, this can be derogatory term.
Correct yourself. Obviously words have more than one meaning, and we have interpreted this one differently.
aims: ok, I concede! Lets be fwends
She did a slew of interviews in 2001 right after Ben Affleck began dating Jennifer Lopez (instead of pining)and repeatedly said she could sing too, but didn’t want to dress up like a music star and sing for the public because it “wasn’t her style.”
I actually joined Goop.com to see what she posts on there. She definitely needs a reality check. It’s not geared to us po people. I’d like to see a reality show based on the uber rich or celebs shopping in regular stores like the rest of us. That would be hilarious!
A little in advance…Goop was one of the top 5 WORST celeb brides according to some bridal magazine reader’s poll. Winehouse was THE worst, Gwynth came in around 5.
Why couldn’t “Shake that thang” have been nominated? Could you imagine how priceless that would be to see goopy doing a poor beyonce imitation at the oscars? UGH damn the academy
I want to see a picture of her favorite Fishmonger. I wish I remembered his name because I would totally look him up in Google images, but I am much too lazy to google, Gwyneth Paltrow’s favorite Fishmonger. I wonder if when she is to pick up her children from school, she asks herself, “Hmm, I wonder if the Fishmonger would like to ride with me? I haven’t seen Fishmonger in a while.” Gwyneth Paltrow, William Shakespeare, and their Fishmongers.
Wearing A CROSS?!!! Thought Goopie copped to being Jewish, like her father?
Well. It wouldn’t be the first time she embarrassed herself on an Oscar stage.
paltry is kuntry schlong.
good god, she makes me feel stabby.
I do not think she is a good singer. She is a passable singer. She is really nasal.
Oh and she can only stand and sing on a Persian Rug. And not one of those cheap fake ones. A REAL one.
Honestly I don’t think her voice is all that great. I think it sounds better than it actually is because you kind of expect her to be Tone Deaf. At least I did. Sounding more like Cameron Diaz in that movie with Julie Roberts. My Bests Friends Wedding, I think.
At about 00:47, I want TO SHOVE A TRIPLE CHEESEBURGER DOWN HER THROAT AND DUMP A WENDY’S SUPER-SIZED FROSTY ON HER BLOWN OUT HAIR
Don’t you?
I turned that crap off. She is such living proof that this world is not a fair place AT ALL.
Quotes from Goop that prompted the article “7 Reasons Why People Hate Gwyneth Paltrow”, some abbreviated.
1. “I don’t really have drunk friends”
2. “Every woman can make time (to workout)- You just make it work.”
3. “I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-a -Soup.”
4. “We have great dinner parties at which everyone sits around talking about politics, history, art and literature—-all this peppered with really funny jokes. But back in America, I was at a party and a girl looked at me and said, ‘Oh, my God! Are those Juicy jeans that you’re wearing?’ and I thought, I can’t stay here. I have to get back to Europe.”
5. “I’m really f-cking good at my job, and people who are interesting and good know that, and that’s all that matters.”
6. “I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”
7. “I am obsessed with chopped salad.”
@JenJen. amazing stuff!
From Jenjen’s post. I agree she “really needs to get back to Europe.” Please.
Goopy = Giggles
And I say this in a totally non-passive-aggressive way. I read this post and had a good giggle! 😀
I honestly thought that her voice was lacking a lot of mid. There is only so much that you can do with vocal enhancement…. In my opinion, the real talent was Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester.
