In a recent interview with Women’s Health, Gwyneth Paltrow attempted a more relatable persona, but it’s not sitting well with me. Paltrow has long been associated with being overly privileged and disconnected from the everyday person, and it’s hard to shake that reputation. Her shift in attitude is puzzling, especially with her upcoming keynote appearance at a major women’s blogging conference and the backlash from her recent Food Stamp Challenge fiasco. It sounds as if she’s scrambling to reshape her public image, but Gwyneth, resist that urge! Embrace your lifestyle of luxury. If I had your wealth, I would be indulging in endless spa treatments, promoting extravagant juicers on my website, and showcasing my celebrity friends non-stop. Please don’t try to make yourself more relatable.
Her interview features quotes that paint her as a sensible and approachable individual. But no, Gwyneth! We don’t need another humble actress/chef/lifestyle expert. We need you to stay true to your extravagant self. For instance, she claims, “My food philosophy is ‘Nothing should be ruled out.’” Wrong! Everything should be ruled out, Gwyneth. We prefer you to stick to your air, free-range geese, and kale diet. How can we take your cookbook seriously if you’re advocating for such a carefree attitude towards food? Who are you trying to be?
Paltrow authored a 303-page cookbook in 2013 that focuses on a restrictive elimination diet — one that excludes coffee, alcohol, dairy, sugar, and a host of other common foods. In her book, she states, “I am a firm believer in raising animals right and eating only organic, heritage, grass-fed, free-range ones — or even better, game birds from the wild, the way it was meant to be.” Yes! That’s the Gwyneth we love to critique. Game birds from the wild? Please, never change.
The new Gwyneth is making statements like, “I don’t believe in saying, ‘You’re not allowed that.’ If my kids want a Shirley Temple with the radioactive cherry in it, go for it!” No, Gwyneth! Your children should have their “Coke of the week,” right? Is the Shirley Temple a supplement to that? I hope you’re joking about the radioactive cherry and that it’s actually one your daughter, Apple, has grown herself.
When discussing her beauty regimen, she remarked, “I believe, as cheesy as it sounds, in exercise, laughing, having sex, being yourself.” She added, “I’m not like, ‘Then I use this masque that I make on my stove.’” Right! That would be absurd! The homemade masque on her site GOOP doesn’t even need cooking — just mix the ingredients in a bowl. Now that’s a classic Gwyneth quote.
Laughing, having sex, consuming whatever you wish, and feeding your kids radioactive cherries? I can’t accept that. I won’t, Gwyneth. Strive for better. Be better. Aim higher. (It’s an inside GOOP joke, folks!).
So, Gwyneth, please, don’t change a thing. We need your unique brand of pretentiousness.
