Gwyneth Paltrow

Shifting her persona from a whiskey-drinking, cigarette-smoking cool girl to a health nut had an unintended effect. “That was the beginning of people thinking I was a crackpot. Like, ‘What do you mean food can affect your health, you f—ing psycho?’ ” she says. “I remember when I started doing yoga and people were like, ‘What is yoga? She’s a witch. She’s a freak.’ ’’

“I’m so happy to suffer those slings and arrows, because if you look at the culture from then to now, people are so curious,” Paltrow says. “It’s so beautiful to see people feeling empowered by natural solutions or ancient modalities alongside science and medicine.

“Forgive me if this comes out wrong,” Paltrow continues, “but I went to do a yoga class in L.A. recently and the 22-year-old girl behind the counter was like, ‘Have you ever done yoga before?’ And literally I turned to my friend, and I was like, ‘You have this job because I’ve done yoga before.’ ”

I hope Pepper gets her Rescue armour in Avengers 4 because Gwyneth is for sure "rescuing" humanity.
 
God, no: Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop are oozing onto Netflix

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand, Goop, has a reputation for shilling snake oil and “wellness” practices—like “bee sting therapy”—that can literally kill you. So blatant is Goop’s hucksterism that a media watchdog group filed a formal complaint in 2017 with more than 50 examples of the company making “deceptive health and disease-treatment claims to promote products in violation of the law.” Last year, the company was forced to hire its first fact-checker, a demand Paltrow met with a weary sigh.

It’s exciting, then, to learn that Netflix is developing a Goop-centered project. A documentary series investigating its shady claims, perhaps? Exposés on its lineup of “experts”? Maybe a searing drama about those driven to bankruptcy and madness by so many useless healing stickers, sex powders, and vagina eggs?

Or how about a series made in conjunction with Goop, wherein Paltrow and her rich pals offer you advice on “issues relating to physical and spiritual wellness”? Because that’s what we’re getting. Variety reports that Netflix is partnering with Goop for a series of 30-minute episodes hosted by Paltrow and chief content officer Elise Loehnen, who will “utilize experts, doctors, and researchers” to convince you medicine is bad and $80 crystals are good. It premieres this fall.

But Goop isn’t content to just glom onto Netflix. It’s also seeping into Delta Airlines flights, where the company’s eponymous podcast will leak into your ears, its pastel tendrils unfurling down your throat and snarling around your heart. As activated charcoal drips from your every orifice, Paltrow and co. will be hard at work on more podcasts, as well as a food program and a book club. A frothing wave of glitter, Goop will eventually crash over us all, its contentment arriving only when every human is slicked in a translucent sheen of goat’s milk and honey mud.
 
They should put him in charge of Goop! Maybe they'd stop trying to steam all the vaginas.
