These are some new photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at Heathrow Airport yesterday, on route to NYC. Doesn’t she look really, really tiny here? Obviously, Dame Gwyneth would never deign to look horribly fat, but usually she looks more substantial than this. Perhaps she’s trying a very special new cleanse and it’s working. Perhaps it’s just a really good pair of jeans. Perhaps it’s the angle of the camera.

I have to admit – except for the boots, I like this outfit. I’ve begun to like Gwyneth’s casual style a lot more than her red carpet style lately. I know some people are all over Gwyneth’s formal looks, but I feel like she’s been phoning it in for a while. Maybe I just like to see her in candid photos, without her horrendous flat-ironing obsession. Look how cute her hair looks without all of the flat-ironing! Of course, she’s still parting her hair down the middle. Does she know that she looks younger and cuter with a side-part?

We mentioned this in the links last week, but it’s worth discussing again. Gwyneth has just signed on to be the new “face” of Boss Nuit Pour Femme, a new perfume by Hugo Boss. Which brings me to something I’ve been wondering about lately – is Gwyneth poor? I mean, obviously, she’s not “poor” like the peasantry. But she’s been signing on to a lot of ad campaigns lately. I’m sure her rationale is “it takes less time to shoot an ad campaign than film a movie” – like it’s all her choice. But I have to wonder – again – if Gwyneth isn’t getting the scripts she thinks she deserves. She really hasn’t worked that much as an actress in the past five years, which makes me think that she consciously supplements her income by taking these modeling jobs as she waits for better scripts.

When the Hugo Boss announcement was made, Gwyneth told WWD, “To me, the Boss woman is driven, ambitious, and goes after what she wants, but she balances being strong and very feminine at the same time – characteristics that I strive towards in my own life.” For goodness sake, Goop. Do you need the money that badly?

Last thing – Rashida Jones tweeted this photo of Gwyneth a few days ago – the assumption is that it might have had something to do with Apple’s eighth birthday, which was Monday. Some kind of Cats-themed face-painting birthday party? Sure. Why not? I’d like to note – look how Gwyneth’s face is perfectly painted. Like, she hired the most A-list children’s face-painter in the whole world.
