The debut issue of Goop’s magazine is dedicated, Editor-in-Chief Gwenyth Paltrow writes, to “wellness.” That’s no surprise, as Paltrow and her brand have built a small empire on “wellness,” a word that—in large part due to Paltrow’s influence and Goop’s success—has popped up in nearly every woman’s publication in the…
For the cover of Goop Magazine’s inaugural issue, founder Gwyneth Paltrow is covered in goop. Got it? Good. Now here are some thoughts on self care, banishing pesky cesarean scars with live bee stings, and more.
Industry watchdog group Truth in Advertising (TINA) announced Tuesday that after thoroughly investigating Gwyneth Paltrow’s wellness/snake oil emporium Goop, they found over “50 instances in which the company claims, either expressly or implicitly, that its products (or those it promotes) can treat, cure, prevent,…
There’s no shortage of things to be mad about in late capitalism. Pretty high on the list, though, is the Eat, Pray, Love brand of pseudoscience promoted by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. Somehow, Goop—which previously encouraged women to shove eggs up their vaginas—has out-Gooped itself: the brand is now promoting stickers…
Gwyneth Paltrow used to be best known as an actress, but in the last decade she’s built an even bigger reputation as a health guru. Her newsletter venture, Goop, peddles an enviable lifestyle—travel, fashion, anything that looks gorgeous in photographs—but with a central message of living a clean, healthy life.
Gwyneth Paltrow’s inaugural Health Summit—an event centered around the sellable idea of “wellness”—took place on Saturday at a warehouse in Culver City, California. It appears to have been an affair to remember. Personally, I would never spend $500 or $1,000 or $1,500 on a Goop Health Summit. But after reading about…
A Perfect Murder star Gwyneth Paltrow was on Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show Monday night, and the two spent a large chunk of time discussing Goop, her nearly 10-year-old company that Paltrow calls her “full-time job.” After beginning with a few compliments (“I like the cooking stuff, and I like to see you on vacation”),…
The first thing you’ll notice after directing your browser to Jennifer Garner’s Facebook page is that its cover photo is an image of her and several children—many of whom are definitely not hers—in a field of beets. Or at least I think they’re beets. They may be radishes. (I don’t know, the photo is blurry.)
It’s frustrating for me to read a story about Gwyneth Paltrow that ends with me rolling my eyes at Gwyneth Paltrow. Part of me would love to ignore everything she’s done that’s been related to Goop, so that I can remain the fan I was in the early 2000s. She was so great in The Talented Mr. Ripley! She showed off such…
Oh dear, I don’t even know where to start. [Grins wildly and scribbles on my nearby notebook even more wildly.]
Everyone wash up your jade eggs, take off your shoes, and down a handful of supplements, because this week’s episode of DirtCast is all about wellness!
Since Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop launched in 2008, the site has earned its reputation as the internet’s kooky rich aunt. From detoxes to cleanses; vitamins to clean food; vaginal eggs to vaginal steaming and recurring features by a self-described “Medical Medium” (a man who diagnoses disease via spirit guidance), Goop has…
When you’re a Goop-ert (what Goop newsletter devotees call themselves, I would think), your days are likely filled with a packed schedule of facial and vaginal steaming, several hours of vegetable chopping and zoodling, followed by an evening of sipping alkaline water out of a wine glass while cradling a jade egg in…
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin had a Willy Wonka themed birthday party because he is a goddamn whimsical 40-year-old man and the whole of Hollywood should know it. On Friday, Martin reportedly transformed his Malibu abode into a sprawling Dahlian paradise complete with lollipop-shaped decorations and toadstools.
Former Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester isn’t here for the kinds of strange and frequently unsettling beauty trends promoted by brands like Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, and I feel like this is the first time in recent memory that a famous woman has made headlines for not being a proponent of a scientifically questionable…
Gwyneth Paltrow, your frenemy and mine, is on the cover of the November issue of Harper’s Baazar. And while the interview with her was conducted by Samantha Bee (very nice, very well played), far more interesting is that the accompanying photo shoot has her posing in the Associated Supermarket on Manhattan Avenue in…
We all like to make fun of Goop, but we’re the ones talking about it while Gwyneth Paltrow is wiping her ass with a $275 roll of toilet paper. Yes, please, mentor me, milady.
It’s hard to believe that it has been an entire year since Jennifer Aniston sold her most unflattering pair of Chloé cork wedges on Goop.com, but as time marches relentlessly on, so too does Goop. La Gwyneth has done it again, managing to separate her extremely wealthy friends from their free designer swag (“there are…
Goop is hip and current and with it. They will soon be sending out lifestyle advice via Snapchat to weed-smoking teenagers everywhere.
