If you think this is the most you’ve heard from celebrities, you’re right. But celebrity news and our obsession with it is nothing new. Marie Antoinette was always a victim of gossip in the 1700s. and admired her latest hairstyle and expensive jewelry.
The early days of the internet created even more awareness of celebrities. Now we hear every thought of every star in existence. Ever wondered what Pauly Shore thinks about fishnets? I don’t! But I’m sure the answer lies somewhere in the vast interweb.
This brings us to Gwyneth Paltrow.Oscar winner for her work Shakespeare in love And a vital part of the Marvel Universe, she’s as permanent an A-lister as anyone can get. Her parents are also famous, making her a certified Nepobaby. is a big celebrity, so she is constantly being interviewed about all aspects of her life.when asked about her Podcast diet and exercise routineshe replied that she skipped breakfast, ate soup for lunch, exercised for an hour a day, used her own sauna, and ate dinner early.
Do you think Gwyneth Paltrow’s diet is newsworthy?
Of course, the internet found out about this interview and all hell broke loose…even on Yahoo! Life posted the most dangerous headlines possible.Gwyneth Paltrow’s Bone Broth Diet is joyless, sad, and far from “healthy.” ”
There’s something superfluous about this — and I’m not just talking about misplaced apostrophes.
Paltrow is definitely a textbook almond mamaa new term used to describe moms who eat small meals to stay thin. Praised as “irrelevant,” however, the routine isn’t a caviar-infused champagne bath with gold garnishes. Gwen skips breakfast. she enjoys soup She eats dinner early. Is this routine “joyless”? perhaps.
But dare I say pretty normal.
Many people like to skip breakfast and fill themselves with soup for lunch. Most people don’t have a private girlfriend sauna, but many people aim to exercise her one hour a day and are successful. Not me, but you get the picture.
I’m not saying MCU’s Pepper Potts has the most normal day-to-day life for your average working-class Joe. What I don’t understand is…why do you care what she does?
Okay, I know what you’re thinking. Alexandria, you just hate celebrities. That’s not true! I understand the fascination with celebrities. I used to work at a late night show where I was always watching celebrities. I remember talking to famous musicians, actors and comedians about their lives and journeys. But I never once asked them what they ate for the day, other than a polite curiosity as to where they had lunch.
I understand that certain people are in the public eye trying to be a beacon for others. Malala. Michelle Obama. Tony Hawk.But if we hold these people in such high esteem that they are not allowed to be ‘irrelevant’
… are they even allowed to be people?
Gwenyth Paltrow, or how her name is spelled, shouldn’t be the ideal of how normal people should live their lives.I’m not a TikTok influencer or a beautiful Victoria’s Secret runway model. . She’s not saying she’s not smart or that she’s not worth listening to. But if you’re looking for Gwennis Paltrow to give you the guidance you need to go about your daily life, you’ll find much of it irrelevant. No. Probably the closest thing to a sauna is an apartment without air conditioning (we had one there).
But if you keep waiting for GOOP to give you good advice, you’ll be waiting. she’s just a good actress. i know a good actress But I also know good teachers and plumbers. I know people who want to ask for life advice.
There’s only one person you should take life advice from
It’s always exciting when your heroes say the right thing.As a Marvel nerd, I love to watch Chris Evans stands with BLMand I got annoyed with Evangeline Lilly’s awkward stance on vaccinesI want celebrities I like to reflect the beliefs and life I have lived, but that is not always acceptable. Aside from the assumptions that directly affect our lives, we should be able to enjoy whatever makes us happy without calling celebrities “joyless” or “irrelevant” even if). There’s a fine line between celebrity gossip and just being mean.
I know what you’re thinking Alexandria, don’t we owe it to the next generation to monitor the discourse of society and make sure we are creating an inclusive world for our immediate family?
To that I say:
And you politely paraphrase: It’s because of our daughters that almond mothers make the world go extinct.
To that I say: That’s a pretty good point. ”
I want to live in a body positive future. Every day I want to wake up not thinking about my weight, just the energy I need to go on any adventure. I want to reward myself with a meal that makes me happy, not a meal that makes me bloated the next day.I want to do everything possible to create a world where the waistline is less important than all the big words I’ve used. Jameela Jamil I threw the first brick in the diet industry. Ozempic Dynasty It will collapse to the ground.
In the meantime, I think Gwen should be able to eat her “joyless” lunch in peace. Someone asked her about her routine, and she replied,
she is an actor she is an entrepreneur. But she’s not the one making my decisions for me. Only one person is in charge of how I live my life.
Oprah.
