    That is one ugly engagement ring.

    • MostlyMegan says:

      I agree. I guess she is going to wear that for the rest of her life? Huh. It seems to be a reaction to her other more traditional engagement rings – like she intentionally went into the other direction.

  2. minx says:

    Looks like a gumball ring.

  3. Onerous says:

    The doctor being arrested by ICE – he’s from my city. He’s on a legal greencard -his wife thought it was a joke.

    I am conflicted about it because this story is being picked up around the globe – as it should – it’s a disgrace. However, this is happening to brown people every damn day and it’s not international news.

    That ring isn’t my cuppa tea but I adore sapphires. I would’ve been thrilled with a sapphire engagement ring!
    I do love my classic diamond ring though.
    My birthstone is ruby. Never had any rubies before, but my hubby got a me a sweet pair of delicate ruby studs for our anniversary last year. I wear them constantly. 😍

    • Ankhel says:

      I got a sapphire engagement ring a year ago. I do believe this means that Goopy’s hopelessly behind, poor thing.

    • LizLemonGotMarried says:

      I wanted a sapphire and diamond originally but ended up with a classic split shank and brilliant cut solitaire and I love it now. My hubby doesn’t buy much jewelry but when he does it’s classic-diamond studs, diamond drop necklace, classic horsebit watch. That’s it-four items in ten years.

      • a says:

        Consider yourself lucky….all I got over the (15) years was a watch and I had to buy my own wedding band. I honestly don’t know why I stayed….lol

  5. Hh says:

    Kim Kardashian’s response to that tweet was actually pretty funny.

  6. Ankhel says:

    That ring looks like an inept crook replaced the original stone with a blueberry lozenge. Ridiculous. There’s no way she likes it.

    • Lorelai says:

      @Ankhel: 👏🏻😂

    • lucy2 says:

      LOL!
      I do like sapphires, but that one is too large and odd looking.

      • Felicia says:

        Looks to me like they took a piece of alluvial sapphire rough and just set it as is. Which is kind of cool but maybe a much nicer setting and a teensy bit of a surface polish on the stone wouldn’t have gone amiss. Bet that sapphire is from Madagascar.

    • homeslice says:

      Knowing Gweneth she loves it…do you really think she is the type to let the guy pick the ring LMAO.

    • happy girl says:

      “a blueberry lozenge.” @Ankhel….that is perfection 🙂

  7. Lala says:

    I have a soft spot for Goop…and I just watched “View From The Top” again, one of my favorite happy movies…I take her lifestyle site with a grain of salt, which she would of course, frown upon…ingesting salt in ANY forms…but I can NO LONGER STAY SILENT ABOUT….

    HER. HAIR!!!!!! SERIOUSLY…WHY??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ICE has become our gestapo. They are rounding up people, locking them up and throwing them out without a trace of humanity. Perhaps they should start practicing the phrase ‘ I was just following orders’?

    • Eileen says:

      I saw the list of medications Petty had in his body and as a nurse I was shocked by the polypharmacy. Sigh if he had a history of drug or alcohol addiction then the bad hip he had would’ve been very challenging to treat pain wise. I’ve cared for so many patients with pain medication or alcohol tolerance and their postoperative recovery is rocky waters to say the least. Heartbreaking

  9. KiddV says:

    At least the stones keep getting bigger with each engagement. Her 4th fiancé will have to get her the Taylor-Burton diamond.

    • Jayna says:

      Bigger is not always better. Many of these engagement rings are getting ridiculous in the celebrity world and have no beauty to the rings as far as taste and design. I have never liked Jennifer Aniston’s from Justin either. I never think it looks pretty on her finger.

      • minx says:

        I agree with that. JA’s stone looks tacky and dull to me.

      • Jayna says:

        It’s a rose cut. “While the rose cut’s somewhat glassy appearance (those fewer facets result in dramatically less sparkle) is unlikely to ever reach similar levels of popularity again, they can be an intriguing alternative for those who want a more unique engagement ring.”

        I remember all of this because I looked up her ring when she got it, because I didn’t like it. On Weddingbee, when someone asked about the ring, someone posted that they were a jeweler and agreed it was a rose cut, but said this: “As a jeweler I can tell you that is no sapphire. It’s just a very poor quality and poorly cut diamond. That is probably why she often never wears it. It is a rose cut but it’s very poorly cut. Look at the cuts in the rose. They are very, very uneven. It was cut wrong.” They said more, but that’s the gist.

        But because it’s a big eight-carat solitaire diamond on her finger, that stands out to me, the dull look of it being a huge negative and just not a a pretty ring.

        Camila Alves’ engagement ring from Matthew is a rose-cut center stone also, but prettier because the center cut diamond is smaller and more glass-like than dull like Jennifer’s. And I think the vintage-like setting in a platinum band works.

    What I find appalling is they reverenced Pitts ring and relationship as if the other two were less important. I do not like the way the media is so disrespectful of Gwen’s and Jennifer’s husbands🔨
    It is atrocious and they are probably better partners.

    • WMGDtoo says:

      I’m sure Brad Pitt would like to stop being linked or referenced in stories about everyone and anyone he had a relationship with.

  11. Who ARE These People? says:

    Paltrow on her engagement: ‘She explained inside, “Personally, at midlife, I have tried to accept how complex romantic love can be. I have decided to give it a go again, not only because I believe I have found the man I was meant to be with, but because I have accepted the soul-stretching, pattern-breaking opportunities that (terrifyingly) are made possible by intimacy.”‘

    How does she do it? This is like the Gloria Swanson of New Age romance.

    • Chrissy says:

      Why does she say the simplest thing in the most words possible? So pretentious and fake intellectual. What’s wrong with just saying, ” I found a great guy and decided to try marriage again?” SMH. P.S. The ring is ugly and too large for her hand.

    • tw says:

      Could she be pregnant?

    • Tiffany says:

      I, ‘We both cheated on our spouses to mess around and then decided to give a relationship a go after one of our spouses ( his wife) was not having it’.

    • Liberty says:

      1. Beat Chris to it
      2. Do something fast to head off club rumors
      3. Meghan is in the press, I can get press too
      4. Places to shove up a sapphire for blog

      I am that cynical about her. A shame, I liked her in Sliding Doors.

  12. Basi says:

    Sorry Goop that ring is fug.

  13. Yeahright says:

    Jean Harlow was first!
    (And hers was prettier)

  14. Sarah says:

    I watched “Se7en” the other night- it’s hard to believe she’s aged as poorly as she has. I had really forgotten how pretty she was in the past- her face looks totally different to me now.

  15. Anare says:

    Lol! Bella Hadid. That outfit (minus the boots) looks suspiciously like my Catholic high school uniform. The nuns would have a fit if we hiked the skirt up that high tho’. Party on!

  16. Lama Bean says:

    Sterling K Brown deserves all the awards he is getting. I adore him and he, like Tracee Ellis Ross, is finally getting the comeuppance for which he has worked. I’m glad. I also appreciate his looks. Just a nerdy looking chocolate drop. Just my type.

  17. Aurelia says:

    She got a slight nose job and veneers which changed the look of her mouth.
