Gwyneth Shouts Her Own Name From TriBeca Rooftop

Gwyneth Paltrow was back in NYC this week, even though she hates it here, and People magazine spoke to her at the Hope Benefit Gala held on the TriBeca Rooftop Wednesday night. She said of her website venture, GOOP, "It started in such an organic way. It is really just a place to disseminate good information. People are so grateful that it’s free. It’s just nice to share what you have. And I have all this great information. It’s just a gift." Of all the people that hate Paltrow, Videogum does it best. They say of her latest statement: "But the benevolent Queen Paltrow has deigned to offer up her infinite wisdom for free? Gwunbelievable. The first guillotine was invented in 1286 and here we are, standing around like 'if only there was something we could do.'"

MMM

It seems the "hater"is 100% piggybacking her way to fame thanks to her very public insults to Paltrow.

How virtuous of her!

Like Cheney doesn't deserve that guillotine!

NannyState

I'm still waiting for her to hook up with Ruth Madoff like Thelma and Louise and drive off a proverbial cliff.

Some recommended reading from GOOP:

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

This book was published 10 years after the death of its author. He never got recognition while he was alive, which is very sad. The main character, Ignatius J. Reilly, is a misfit genius who lives in New Orleans and is trying to survive.

Well, that's one way to describe a side-splitting satiric novel. Author J.K. Toole would probably kill himself all over again if he were alive to read it though.

That's like calling GW a misfit president.

Hey Gwyneth, we hate you here too.

I want to hate this very much, but the the discussion on "Evil Tongue" won me over.

Check out the website for a trip back to 1995! You get to read each little paragraph of *wisdom* through a tiny little scrolling window. It's like looking at the world from inside a mailbox. Oh Gwyneth! You're so wise! If only you had experience in, y'know, reading words.

Is there a more useless person in the world than this spoiled, self-absorbed, pretentious twat?

NannyState

She makes Martha Stewart look like Roseanne Barr's trailer park meth dealer. Can we get an indictment or something on this bitch?

This is a gem: The summer before last, a mutual friend brought the lovely Katie Lee Joel and her husband William over for dinner.

It took me a moment to realize that she was referring to Billy Joel.

Further proof that she is totally out of her f-ing mind. Who the hell calls Billy Joel William????????????

AvenueHebrew

Welcome to two months ago. Honestly, I still don't get why that's actually such a big deal. Are we really that defensive about Billy Joel?

EastRiver

Who the hell calls Billy Joel William?

I don't know but I have a vague recollection of reading an article about Billy Joel a long time ago and it mentioned that Christie Brinkley didn't call him Billy. Something like she couldn't take a grown man named Billy seriously.

"People are so grateful that it’s free"??? Does she honestly think [i]anyone[/i] would pay money to read her stupid self-indulgent blog postings?

Dude69

Paltrow, and her overrated and talenless musician husband can move and stay the hell in the UK. She hasn't been in anything interesting for years!

"Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That's dumb!"

"That's 'cause you know it'll stick!"

paltrow is the new paris.

I thought she hated america or some shit.

The Edge

I'll never understand people who grew up American, say they hate America--without offering reasonable suggestions or doing anything positively proactive--and continue to live here.

Even Chomsky doesn't hate America.
