The horror! (Gwyneth pandemic content)

[Dave W]

Gwyneth Paltrow broke down and ate bread during quarantine.

Best reader comment: Normally, I'd have thought that flogging a candle that smelled of her flange was worse, but then again...

Advertising her business, no doubt.

She's skillful at that. All that vagina stuff too is just clever marketing as she has admitted herself in a more candid moment.

Her last leading acting role was 15 years ago (in actually a very good movie where her role was unglamorously that of a gifted person doubting her sanity).



She said good-bye to Hollywood before Hollywood said good-bye to her and she would find herself - like all aging actresses - fighting for (and eventually no longer getting) female lead roles with people 10-15 years younger than her as competition. Instead she put her fame to good use and established GOOP which

- enduringly successful sells

- products that nobody really needs

- and that are not really original either

- at inflated prices.

Gwyneth ain't dumb or naive and has real commercial nous. And she didn't have to go to bed with Harvey Weinstein or live off Chris Martin's Coldplay royalties to become this wealthy.

Does that mean she's now gonna get a yeast infection?

[uwe]

Yeast infections with wimmen are a thankless subject. No matter what, you always get the blame.

Came for the bread, stayed for the yeast.

Kipling addressed it:

Yeast is yeast and west is west....

[uwe]

Unleashed in the Yeast!



I always assumed some autobiographical content of Rob in that title.

[Ken]

Excuse me while I go listen to Check Your Bread from the Yeastie Boys.

Keeping you informed of today's events. It's the yeast I can do.

Under fire! Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop is SUED for $5M over claims her $75 This Smells Like My Vagina candle 'EXPLODED' on a man's nightstand after becoming 'engulfed in flames'

Daily Mail's headlines are always so subtle.

[uwe]

I'd see it as a source of consolation that the vagina candle rested on the nightstand when combustion took place and had not been misappropriated to places it really didn't belong - jade eggs come to mind. NEVER TRUST CONSUMERS !!!

The room is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
Her candle makes you burn with a wave of her hand
The bed's ablaze, the room's on fire
The woman's flames are reaching higher
We laughed at GOOP, we called her liar
All I hear is "Burn!"

"One in a million shot, Doc."

So you don't like the scent?!!!

[Dave W]

I wonder how hard it was to get the fish smell out of the furniture and drapes,
