Gwyn in Pink Oscar Horror

Starting an innocent website on cooking and diets got Gwyneth Paltrow in a whirl of negative media attention.

Who does she think she is, dishing out recipes, parenting advice and places to go-tips? fumed the likes of The Times. Toronto’s The Globe and Mail spluttered: “Why is it called Goop? Perhaps ‘Any Old Load of Rubbish’ and ‘Learn From Me, Ungrateful Peasant’ were both taken.” (which I thought was kinda hilarious)

Actually, AnyOldLoadofRubbish.com would have been much cheaper, because four letter .com domains are rare and expensive! So I guess Gwyneth, having sunk over a 100.000 dollars into this domain name probably has a Master Plan. Not so you´d notice, when you look at her website, but maybe drivelling on about all the wonderful friends she has is step one in the larger scheme of things, like South Parks Underpants Gnomes:

But all joking aside, why on earth shouldn´t Gwynny set up her own website? Lots and lots of people set up websites all the time about their pets, their backyard or cooking without any training. I´m not a Gwyneth fan, still haven´t gotten past that terrible Oscar dress and acceptance speech, all those years ago, but I really don´t see what all the fuss is about. She´s not claiming she´s the next Ghandi, she simply wants to share a couple of spaghetti recipes! And, being Rich&Famous, she can buy an expensive domain to do it!

And btw her recipe for turkey meatballs sounds divine and I can´t wait to try it! (didn´t she used to be a rabid vegan?)
