I think the way people perceive you can sometimes be mind-bogglingly different from the way you perceive yourself. And for women who are in the public eye, this goes double. And there's this strange fucking phenomenon that there are strangers all over the world who have ideas and expectations about who you are and how you should feel about yourself. And none of it actually has any relation to your own sense of identity or self-worth. You're told you're beautiful, stunning, sexy, ravishing, but I imagine it can genuinely ring a little hollow when it's being commodified, and when you know how fucking haggard you look at 6 in the morning. And no matter how widely-travelled and well-educated you are, you'll always know people who seem far more accomplished and sophisticated than you'll ever, ever be. No one ever wins that race.
I dunno. I mean, I know I'm not saying anything radically insightful here, but still. Weird.

people get pregnant in this day and age the same way they got pregnant back when you were in your teens.
i'm not going to comment about your declarations about jude law, either. perhaps now your granddaughter understands the basics about birth control and condom usage, but it's a shame nobody explained it to her years ago.

I'll see the movie, but I don't think I want to read anything else from her.

As my boss says "You could get hit by a truck tomorrow and your jean size won't matter."

Bleh, I hate how "detox" has replaced "diet" as the code word for starving yourself.

If it's true, can't watch another Morgan Freeman film again. What is it with men?

It bothers me how she'll be like, "Oh, I love food, delicious yummy food, I can't stuff enough wonderful food in my face, I love it so!" and then a little later is telling us how she went on a detox and drank only juice and castor oil and white tea for a fortnight, or some such nonsense, as a way to cleanse and purify and whatever else.
That isn't detox, that's crash dieting, and I can't bring myself to believe that it's healthy.

I try really hard to avoid clicking on "goop" articles because I find her detox talk triggering, but it's hard not to notice when it's in a quick little dirtbag snippit. I don't mean this as a critique on the editors, (it's my job to avoid it, not their job to stop writing it) but does anyone else find her uncomfortably triggering?

I am always intrigued by the detox idea, if there is pounds of stored up 'sludge' or whatever I want it out. I went on a detox similar to the product he is hocking (for something like $350!!) which is a bunch of supplements. I can tell you that I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, except for the fact that it just made me eliminate as if I was taking laxatives. Which is really what it was after I dug deep into what it was, natural ingredients but I was basically taking laxatives, which grossed me out and I stopped taking before it was over.
