NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- Gwyneth Paltrow is responding to critics who are attacking her lifestyle Web site, Goop.com...

[floridavoter2]

Another Hollywood celeb who thinks she needs to tell the rest of us how to live our lives...

[Old Sarge]

Bad publicity = publicity.

I guess John Doe was correct to cut off her head.

[Frantzie]

Vapid Vapid is an understatement for this woman. ;-)

[spodefly]

Proof that beauty is only skin deep.

[brivette]

vapid squalor?

[dead]

She has cotton candy where her brains should be.

[piytar]

That, and just another washed up hollywood bimbo seeking relevance and free PR...

[mjp]

My friends call me all the time to say, 'Where should I go?' or 'What should I do?'

pathetic second handers

[philled]

Oh come on now- she is brilliant and married to an even more brilliant musician. We should all be hanging on every word they have to say! Why, their children are named Apple and Moses, for goodness sake! They inspired me to name mine Sauce and Malone!

OK, I have to admit, I did really like the single "Yellow" when it came out about a decade ago...

[Netizen]

Another article that doesn’t really hold up. She isn’t really telling anyone how to live, she is posting info that she has, for those that are interested. Not much more than that.

I hate her show with Mario Batali where they ride around Spain with the NY Slimes food critic in a pair of Benz convertibles wearing funny sunglasses and eating quaint little “authentic” rustic Spanish dishes.

It’s a show that’s overflowing with cliches, and dear Gwyneth is one of them.

[mojito]

Self-absorbed, condescending, and stupid.

They call it the Hollywood trifecta.

[tips up]

Thank God for her advice. I had no idea how to live. I think she deserves a medal or statue or something...

[library user]

Be careful if you go to goop.com. It’s one of them circa-2001 Flash sites. I clicked on her pretty icons, but nothing works.

"I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it," Gwyneth told People Wednesday night at a New York City benefit for Bent On Learning, a non-profit organization that provides yoga and meditation classes in NYC public schools.

Seriously. Ponder it. Ruminate over each clause. It's like a diamond, with fascinating new glints and shimmers of perfect vacuousness from every angle.

It could be a haiku, sung to a jingle, written for kazoo.

>>>>> Why, their children are named Apple and Moses, for goodness sake! They inspired me to name mine Sauce and Malone! <<<<<<<

Mine are going to be Elppa and Sosem, because that’s what I thought of when I considered calling Gwyneth to ask ‘What should I do?’

What should I do Gwyneth?

I clicked the article because I didn’t know who this chick is. Apparently I lead a very sheltered life, or maybe I’m too busy working to put my kids through college, in any event this is a blerb from the article for those as clueless as I about who or what this woman is or what this controversy is about:

The New York Times published an article earlier this week that questioned the site’s relevance and asked, “why is she suddenly on TV giving dieting and fitness tips, backing a gym, writing a cookbook and an online newsletter full of shopping advice, kabbalistic musings and discussion of the Master Cleanse?”

Well, I don’t know the meaning of the term “kabbalistic musings” (they didn’t cover that one in my engineering skool), but I suppose it must be something important or why else would the media report this?

Maybe someday I’ll get the chance to do something as worthwhile, until then well, the first of the month is coming fast better get the mortgage check off to the bank. Don’t want Mr. O to have to up his budget another trillion to cover my debt.

[Huck]

Actually, it's only makeup deep.
