Now that they each have their own somewhat pointless "lifestyle" websites, the GOOPy one and the Hova decided to interview each other. Gwynnie takes Jay-Z's questions on his site, while he fields inquiries on hers. And the results are...strange. Who knew Gwyneth had opinions about gangster rap that are both deeply felt and relatively coherent? More »

You know, the holidays are a time for special things: introspection, family gatherings, and the purchasing of overpriced items. As I sit here on this graham-colored couch that my boyfriend bought three years ago at a yard sale, I can't help but think that I am qualified to share my opinions on things that nobody asked my opinions on. After all, it is the holiday season, and everyone is looking for mindless, unsolicited advice from a stranger who claims to have all the answers. Dearest friends, in this, our twelve-est month of the year, I felt it important to share a little bit of me with you. And so I thought I would follow Gwyneth Paltrow's lead and give you some life tips you never wanted in the first place. After the jump, some special things to make, go, do, get, be and see. More »

Also of note: Gwyneth believes that Debretts Guide to Modern Manners is the perfect present, because "We can all brush up on our manners."

On this day after Thanksgiving, we are thankful for GOOP, as it gives us a weekly opportunity to poke fun at Gwyneth Paltrow's complete lack of self-awareness. Because Thanksgiving is on a Thursday, we were lucky enough to receive a missive from Ms. Paltrow on our day of rest, this time with advice from six of Gwyn's "gurus" about "what it means to be grateful for Thanksgiving." The advice is from various theological leaders from Deepak Chopra to Kabbalah Centre co-director Michael Berg. But our personal favorite tip for turkey day enlightenment was from Zen Master Dennis Genpo Merzel, who tells us, "I am Being. I just am. I am the I am-ness of life. I am pure awareness, pure stillness, silence. I am unmoving. I have no preferences or judgments; I don’t need things to be other than the way they are. I don’t suffer because there is no me to suffer." Remember that when you're struggling to pay your mortgage. [GOOP] More »

• "Mr. Obama sometimes wears jeans, as he did for a rally on Oct. 28, but his jeans are the loose, jingle-the-change-in-your-pocket type. He belts them at the waist, and when he wears them with white sneakers and a windbreaker, one could almost say he had stolen the look from Jerry Seinfeld’s character on the television series." — Cathy Horyn. [NY Times]
• Meanwhile, Donna Karan is rarin' to dress Michelle. “It’s not about her clothes, it’s really about who she is, and her passion for children, culture and wellness. I’m hoping to get to work with them — it would be my dream. They are so committed to ideals that are much in alignment with mine.” [WWD]

Nothing like a fashion missive from our dear Gwynnie to brighten an otherwise dreary Thursday morn. In this "Get" edition of GOOP Ms. Paltrow promotes open toed shooties, dominatrix-looking gladiator pumps, and tartan plaid ankle boots. These Giuseppe Zanotti shooties will set you back a cool $995, while those Roger Vivier tartans will run you about £800, or $1,180ish. Booking a first class trip to stumpytown with unflattering shoes? Priceless. Seriously people, unless you are very tall and very slim, you will look like ass in boots that cut you at the ankle: real talk. In related news, Sadie just barfed everywhere.

The third installment of GOOP, Gwyneth Paltrow's e-newsletter, came out today, and this one is under the vague heading of "Do." It seems to be tips for diet and exercise from Gwynnie's gurus and they offer riveting new advice like try to "exercise 45 minutes a day" and "sleep eight hours a night." Thrilling! The other advice echoed by several gurus is to eliminate "white" foods like dairy, sugar and flour. Gwyneth's email was released at the same time this Guardian article about Adolf Hitler's favorite dishes hit the web. One would think that Hitler did like white foods. [Guardian] More »

The NY Observer has an amusing article attempting to figure out Gwyneth Paltrow's motivation for starting GOOP, the lifestyle website we love to mock. As ever, Gwyneth's reasons for starting GOOP are unclear, but the Observer at least proves that she's a total hypocrite. Back in 2004 when Paltrow was promoting the Sylvia Plath biopic Sylvia, she told the BBC, “I think when people talk too much about who they are, and give the world access to every single thing—what kind of face cream they use, what they cook for dinner, and what nicknames they have for their significant others—that’s all you can think about when you see them. There’s no mystery. I think it’s a shame, because it’s great when you see somebody with mystery act, because you think they’re capable of anything." [Observer] More »

• We spent way too much time talking about Sarah Palin's sexy secretary garb and how much it cost and/or did not cost. But what we really want to know is how Palin gets her hair so big. Maybe her bouffant is built out of campaign secrets and the souls of unborn babies.
• Maybe all Sarah needs is a good talking to from Tyra and Judge Judy. Then she'd learn to keep her receipts in order!
• She has about as much sense as these crazy cat people. (We kid, we love them.)
• But probably a lot more sense than Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose t-shirt wearing antics have torn The View asunder.

Didja hear? Scientists in Singapore have discovered a way to reduce flatulence-causing sugars in soy! So all you farty vegetarians out there, you may fart no more. You know who else maybe interested in this impressive new development? Our favorite macrobiotic proletarian and Goop purveyor Gwyneth Paltrow! It's serendipity that we would hear about this amazing fart reducing breakthrough on the same day that we received Goop's latest newsletter, one filled with soy-containing recipes.

On Monday we briefly mentioned Gwyneth Paltrow's new idiotically named "lifestyle website" GOOP, which bears the nonsensical tagline, "nourish the inner aspect." Well today the Los Angeles Times discusses the entirely unsurprising GOOP backlash among bloggers. Why is it unsurprising? Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because Gwyneth Paltrow was born to incredibly wealthy parents, given every advantage possible, got her first acting gig because her mother is acclaimed star Blythe Danner, shows a regularly snobbish disdain for Americans, and yet is purporting to tell us how to live our lives? Not to mention the fact that the economy is in the shitter and maybe, just maybe, the average woman doesn't really want to hear from Gwyneth that her "life is good because I am not passive about it."
