    Stunningly offensive.

    • Still_Sarah says:

      My sister’s friend is married to a plastic surgeon and the friend gave out Botox injections as Christmas gifts. When I first saw my sister (without knowing about the Botox), all I could do was stare at her forehead – it was so flat and shiny. She is only a year older than me, so I knew there was some fakery going on ( as I have definite wrinkles, so where the hell did hers go?). Honestly, if someone has met you before, they know you had wrinkles before and they know (like I did) that there is some fakery going on. I would prefer liposuction because at least then, I could credibly lie and say I exercised to get that way!

    • Onnit says:

      I just find her heinous in general, so I don’t understand any brand wanting her as their “face”. “Xeomin” should have just rebranded as “Wuhan” – it would have been cheaper and just as effective.

  2. Slowdown says:

    Gwinnie would never. She is reinjecting outward bliss emanating from within for a pecuniary visibility. It’s a new modality of sustainability.

  3. SomeChick says:

    US law requires her to use the product she is endorsing. Is anyone here old enough to remember the “scandalous” Joe Namath pantyhose tv ads?

  4. blacktoypoodle says:

    Top photo: Why does her head look too large for her body?

    • My3cents says:

      Her face looks really weird, especially the nose. It looks like it was pasted on in a very weird way, almost like they lost her nose and just gave her another spare.

  5. Case says:

    Well, it’s not a very good endorsement. She looks really weird in that ad.

    And based on the photos, Emma Stone does appear to be pregnant. How great for them! I like Emma a lot. I’m a little surprised; I kinda imagined her waiting to have kids for some reason. But now is a good time for in-demand actors wanting to start a family to have kids without worrying about working or being in the public eye a lot.

  6. Truthiness says:

    What do you bet she is part owner, or at least major stockholder of this injectable? She is looking so puffy and visually she would totally fit in for some Housewives team.

    • Lady2Lazy says:

      Yup! I have never understood her following. Who does she cater to anyway? No one except her can afford the crap she peddles!

    • clomo says:

      Grifters come in many shapes and sizes, and they are everywhere in the world. G.P. is on the upper echelons but an angel compared to the grifters in the White House. No empathy for others only their popularity and bank acct. balance.

      can’t give them something.

  7. Lady2Lazy says:

    Hasn’t the Academy passed on other greats in their memoriam that upset viewers? This isn’t the first nor the last that they will snub someone, as they like who they like and they show it!

  8. ItHappenedOneNight says:

    She looks like Sheryl Crowe here. Nothing like Gwenyth Paltrow. Yikes.

  9. Kkim says:

    Kind of a strategic move on goops part. Instead of denying that she uses them, or having to do some announcement that she uses them, she is getting paid to use them.

  10. jaylee says:

    For all of her woo woo holistic BS Goop is just like every other bored affluent woman I’ve ever met. Over exercised, under nourished & full of tox & fillers. Lame.

  11. Arabella says:

    She doesn’t even look that great! If JLo was endorsing, I’d buy..

    • Charfromdarock says:

      I agree @arabella

      When J-Lo releases her skin care line, if it’s affordable I will definitely buy it.

      But Goop? Nope. That picture does nothing to change my mind.

  12. chitowngal says:

    So even when she’s peddling an injectable, she’s still trying to push it as “better than other injectables”, because it doesn’t have unnecessary proteins. I’d be willing to bet that’s a claim that’s more of her pseudoscience. I’m going to stop calling her Gwyneth and just call her “Poop’ from now on, since that’s mainly what 90% of what she’ says or does is.

  13. Panda says:

    Goop Gouda in a Can

  14. Abby says:

    ha hahahahaha
    her head was definitely copy/pasted from another image

  15. Bibi says:

    I think her face looks larger with the injections that’s why it feels weird. I think Gwyneth would not do a tacky peasant ad like this, but maybe girl has a lack of projects and needs some cash. I think Gwyneth bought/had somebody buy some
    shares or is somehow financially involved in some way thats why she accepted to do this ad. She’ll get paid for the ad, get money with the shares because of course gwyn thinks it will absolutely increase after the campaign. And even better: people are gonna think that she’s relatable because she gets injections (But the simple truth is that she’s at a point where she thinks she needs it anyway and it was going to show in no time, so she’s might as well bank on it) And even better: she’s gonna say that she invented the A-lister endorsing injections and she was the first the only one who had the balls to do it!!! Mark my words!!!!!! They’ll have conversations on goop about why plastic surgery/injections are such taboos when it should be out in the open! A new era! Revolution! Modernity! Avant garde!!!

  16. L says:

    Watch her interview w/ Drew Barrymore. She talks about this product. She’s definitely schilling.

  17. OK says:

    I doubt she is just a shill for the company, I bet she owns a huge chunk of stock.

  18. Merricat says:

    Gwyneth Paltrow does not and has never needed to make money. She’s a Hollywood queen bee who enjoys knowing that thousands of second-tier wannabees will max out their credit cards to buy her products for the sheer joy of saying her name in connection with their own. Ugh.
