Gwyneth Paltrow is a self-absorbed idiot who's completely disconnected from any rational sense of what the world is like for people who are not movie stars that own castles. And her lifestyle website is a piece of shit. Those are just FACTS. But obviously, there are lots of reasons to dislike her. Here's one. From PopCrunch:
Gwyneth Paltrow has been slammed by Hindu scholars for using religious terminology on her controversial Goop blog.
According to Hindu leader Rajan Zed, the Oscar-winning actress should learn more about the ancient religion before using lines like "nourish the inner aspect" on her lifestyle website.
"There are not many deep, spiritual and philosophical thoughts in the blog, which are an essential part of nourishing the inner self," Zed fumed this week.
He added, "The actress needs to grow-up and stop writing about mundane topics like 'Boots by Gucci', 'Banana Pancakes', 'The Hungry Cat' and 'Tweezerman' - in which she talks about taming the unruly eyebrows of men."
"Instead, she needs to talk about topics like realizing self, immortality, deeper reality, eternity, soul, inner realms of the mind and spirit, pure consciousness. That's if she's truly serious about inner aspect."
Haha. I would have ended with "Instead, she needs to shut up," but otherwise we mostly agree. I'm not a religious leader, but I definitely think that "Banana Pancakes" feed the stomach rather than the soul. Obviously, though, Rajan Zed just doesn't get it. He's trying to put Gwyneth in the constrictive box of an intelligent, thoughtful woman with a genuine purpose, when clearly she is trying to break out of that box and be a garbage clown of raging bourgeois satisfaction. And in that sense she is killing it.
