Every morning I wake to a cuppa decaf and a peruse of the CNN news site on my computer. My day just does not feel complete unless I have made a quick scan of what's going on in the world. Of course being informed with worthy news stories also eventually leads to catching up on the latest gossip--I mean, why not?!
This morning I found myself reading about Gwyneth Paltrow's web site titled 'Goop'. I guess many people are totally ripping on her with a sort of 'who do you think you are?' pondering.
I honestly don't get it. OK, so after glancing at the site many of the things she suggests are things that normal people like you and I who don't have millions of dollars and aren't beautiful privileged celebrities would never do, buy, or have access to. But who the hell cares? I don't get what they are picking on her for.
Honestly I've never really cared one way or another about Gwyneth--she's a fine actress who has done some great roles but to me will mostly be remembered as yet another one of Brad's conquests--so it's not like I feel some grand loyalty to her. But it really is beyond me as to why people really give a rip about what others do with their spare time. Doesn't just about everyone and their dog have a blog these days, sharing their stories and giving their own opinions? In MY humble opinion, this whole Goop/Gwyneth thing is much ado about nothing. Honestly I'm more disturbed by the web site of the fitness guru that Gwyneth touts, Tracy Anderson.
Curious about her method I checked her out and was disturbed by the 'gallery' images of her, clearly turned on by her own image in the mirror and pouting like a Playboy Bunny bimbo. Sure, she's toned but WAY too skinny, and not the kind of healthy look/person I would aspire to be. It totally turned me off of even wanting to try her exercise program. Guess I'll stick to Billy!!!
