Gwyneth Paltrow ‘has gone from pretentious to unbearable’, people hate her

[CornFlakegrl]

I still like her.

Me, too. And it's quotes like this that keep me liking her.



I purposefully DON'T read Goop so I can avoid hating her.

[MsDark]

That's a funny gif. But I'd be surprised if she really said that.

[CornFlakegrl]

Oh I hope she did.

Turns out she did say it.

come on guys, she just suffers from affluenza! it ain't her fault. if she killed 5 people, she'd get less shit!

[Brookie]

I can't stomach her pretentious ass. Gag. I can only hope my cable carrier never, ever decides to carry this channel.

Admittedly, Gwynnie sometimes doesn’t do herself any favours. She drew howls of derision when she defended her high-maintenance lifestyle by saying: ‘I am who I am. I can’t pretend to be somebody who makes $25,000 a year.’

you know what? i prefer her honesty to the celebs who try to pass themselves off as 'normal people' and pretend they don't live like millionaires. i find that way more condescending and fake - not to mention hypocritical - than fishsticks who grew up privileged and isn't pretending otherwise or acting like she's ashamed of it.

Gwyneth Paltrow has kissed and made up with Vanity Fair. A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that the 41-year-old actress recently had a heart-to-heart with the magazine's editor-in-chief Graydon Carter following their public feud.


"Gwyneth and Graydon spoke on the phone a few weeks ago," the insider tells Us. "They worked out some of their differences."


Earlier this year, Paltrow allegedly tried to prevent Vanity Fair from publishing a damning piece about her. The New York Times reported in September that Paltrow sent an email to her celebrity friends asking them not to talk to the magazine.


After the email went public, Carter confirmed to the Times of London in October that he would be running an article on the star. "We started a story on her. We have a very good writer and it'll run," he said, adding, "She sort of forced my hand."


However, after Paltrow's heart-to-heart with Carter, the article will reportedly be less controversial than initially speculated or may no longer run at all. "There may be a story, but it won't be as bad as it originally was going to be," the insider says.


But reports that Vanity Fair planned to expose the Goop guru's alleged infidelity -- she's been married to Coldplay's Chris Martin for a decade, and they share two kids -- are completely unfounded, a Paltrow source tells Us. "The story was never going to be as bad as tabloids were guessing," the source says. "That whole angle about the alleged affairs was something that was made up by Page Six and was never something that anyone at Vanity Fair believed was legitimate and was never going to be in a story they were working on."


Either way, the Iron Man 3 star seems prepared to ignore her haters. "The older I get I realize it doesn't matter what people who don't know you think. It doesn't matter," Paltrow told the December 2013 issue of Red U.K. "You're wasting your energy. It's like, if your partner comes to you -- or your best friend -- and says, like, 'Listen, I want to talk about something you did that hurt me, or I think you could improve,' sit down and listen to what they have to say. But some friend of so-and-sos -- it's like, who gives a s--t?"

Pussies.

[Chalet]

This is good enough for me. She already talks too much for my taste. If she doesn't care what others think then just shut it and go about your business. She doesn't even do rebellious high fashion earth mother well. Something is off with her as I've said before. I get the feeling she knows she's a fraud in one way - that she knows she's plain as well as a mediocre actress, but has the smarts to put talented and original people around her. We can all do compilation cookbooks and wear body part bearing clothes.

At least she quoted a fairly realistic income for lots of people. If it was Catherine Z-J, it would have been "I can't pretend to be someone who only makes $500,000 a year."

[WhateverLolaWants]

Yeah, it's no secret that I still like Gwinny. She can be a complete spoiled/naive dumbass sometimes, but I'm pretty sure that I look like a spoiled/naive dumbass to plenty of people in this world, too. At least she knows how to laugh at herself.

[spiderpig]

I'm so glad I dumped my VF subscription a couple of years ago. Wimps.

I think that's Mark Ruffalo and her filming that sex addiction film they did.

Gwyneth Paltrow told Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter that he’s fat, of course


Late last summer, there was some enticing gossip that Vanity Fair’s Graydon Carter was going to do a story on Gwyneth Paltrow and her Goop-ification, and how Gwyneth has passionate haters and defenders. As the months went on (with no VF story), the rumors grew around the alleged article, and it morphed into an “epic takedown” in which Gwyneth’s shenanigans would be exposed. More months of waiting followed, and still no article. Then word came that Gwyneth had panicked, that she was either trying to shut VF down or that she had played nice with Graydon Carter in exchange for more favorable coverage. Well, now we finally have the product of all of that hand-wringing. Graydon wrote about the Goop situation in the March issue, and VF just put a preview online:

In the full version of the Editor’s Letter, Carter explains that he had originally assigned contributing editor Vanessa Grigoriadis to write a story about Gwyneth Paltrow after noticing that people tend to have passionate opinions about the actress—some positive, some negative. The letter continues:


Vanessa turned in her story at the end of the summer. And it was just what had been assigned—a reasoned, reported essay on the hate/love-fest that encircles Gwyneth Paltrow. I thought it perfectly explained the whole phenomenon. But it was such a far cry from the almost mythical story that people were by now expecting—the “epic takedown,” filled with “bombshell” revelations—that it was bound to be a disappointment. What to do? I decided to sit on it for a time.


In October, Gwyneth called me. We talked for about 20 minutes about the storyand her reaction, or over-reaction, to it. At one point, she asked my advice as to what to do to get the “haters” on her side. I suggested putting on 15 pounds. I joked that it works for me. She replied I had put on much more than that. Which I thought was fair and funny. Two months after the phone call, Web sites lit up with news of a truce. We received more mail, much of it now criticizing us for caving. There had also been conflicting reports that Gwyneth had coerced George Clooney into not being on our cover—clearly not true. There were reports that she was trying to scuttle our annual Oscar party, that she was going to organize a competing dinner. The Paltrow camp subsequently denied both claims.


We were in uncharted waters. At Vanity Fair, we tend to keep storieswe are working on under our hats. It’s not easy being a monthly magazine in an Internet age, and since most of the publications we compete with are weeklies or dailies, when it comes to the stories still in train, a certain amount of institutional secrecy is required. The Gwyneth Paltrow saga had clearly just gotten away from us. My instinct was to continue to let it sit until people had forgotten about it, or at least until expectations had diminished. The fact is the Gwyneth Paltrow story, the one we ordered up, as delightfully written as it was, is not the one the anti-Gwynethites expect. That it has generated more mail and attention than many of the biggest stories we’ve ever published only makes the situation more complicated . . .

[From Vanity Fair]

“I suggested putting on 15 pounds. I joked that it works for me. She replied I had put on much more than that.” Classic Goop. Always telling fat people to their fat faces that they are fat. Perhaps Graydon should have said THAT to Gwyneth: stop talking about weight so much, stop focusing on weight, stop judging people as “less than” just because they don’t juice fast every month and work out three hours a day.



So, basically, it’s just a couple of elitists bending over backwards to accommodate each other’s privilege. Of course, Gwyneth wouldn’t see it that way. She had to DEIGN to speak to a peasant like Graydon Carter (on the telephone, no less, but at least she didn’t have to see his fat faceand there isn’t a juice fast big enough to cleanse her system of that.
