GOOP: The most ridiculous celebrity vanity project ever?

[Tref]

Hmm, methinks you are being a little hard on poor Ms. Paltrow. If she believes she has something worthy to share, well, OK, I don't have a problem with that. Of course, I will not be checking back to see exactly what that may be, but, then I don't think she is necessarily reaching out to people such as myself.

Not to be contrary about everything here, but I like the name Goop and would never have thought to associate it with male seminal fluid (which, in itself, would not be limited to prostitution and bagels). Indeed, I associate Goop with quality websites that give me helpful kitchen hints and recipes and such. I could be wrong, but I think its also describes an unsavory character, which was, perhaps, intended to be little ironic.

But that is just me and what the hell do I know?

I'm all in favor of a difference of opinion. I just think the site is inane. And to clarify: I do not associate "Goop" with male seminal fluid alone, rather it brings to mind the entire picture I painted earlier, beatings and all. Heh.

I do think Ms. Paltrow has something of value to share with the world, I just happen to think it involves her performances and not her personal lifestyle choices.

Don't act like an asshole, Gwyneth. Just act.

Oddly enough I've never thought of THAT as "goop" -- a rousing "Oh yeah baby, goop on me!" or "let's goop together, mmhmm" would probably send me into hysterical laughter.

Then again, I keep reading this thread as "GOP: The most ridiculous celebrity vanity project ever", which is perhaps applicable to Palin but is otherwise confusing.

And Gwyneth still takes the prize for "Actress Who Most Closely Resembles a Wildebeest".
