Gwyneth Paltrow Talks Spray Cheese, Being “a Sexual Being”

gwyneth_paltrow_abs

Gwyneth Paltrow is on the new cover of Self and posted a new Q&A for GOOP,  and there’s a lot we need to unpack. In Self, she talks about how no one can seem to reconcile that she’s a businesswoman, a mother and a sexual being. “Like, ‘Gwyneth has sex? Really?’ It doesn’t seem to go together.” That’s good — self-deprecating while calling out some sexist BS. But then just when you start reconsidering your opinion of her, she tells GOOP she’d still rather smoke crack than eat spray cheese. “Hell, yes. You know, crack might be extreme, but spray cheese is not my kind of party.” Sigh. She was thisclose!

Tatiana Maslany is getting crucified on Tumblr for her comments about a gay character being killed off of Orphan Black. Personally, I think she handled the question ok, but it’s such a no-win situation right now.

-HBO just released three more Game of Thrones clips, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Megan Fox is pregnant with baby No. 3 and she didn’t immediately announce who the father is, which led to a morning of rampant speculation from people who seem to think her uterus is totally their business. (At least she had fun with the #NotTheFather hashtag for a while, which makes me really like her.)

-Meanwhile, Megan Fox is coming back to New Girl — which was just renewed. I’m glad — she was great on that show.

Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz are dating? That’s all kinds of cute!

Samantha Bee tried to explain what superdelegates are. I’m still confused, but now I’m amused and confused. I’m amfused.

-Despite rumours, Lindsay Lohan‘s rep says she is not actually engaged to a Russian heir so we can all go back to ignoring her again.

Jeremy Renner actually said we lack “strong, badass female” roles. That’s a little rich coming from him, but his publicist deserves a win so I’ll allow it.

-Speaking of the Avengers cast, Team Captain appeared on Kimmel last night and Paul Rudd was a total charm bomb.

-This is an interesting look at HBO’s current drama problem.

-Say what you will about Ariana Grande (and I certainly have) but I love how unapologetically feminist she is.

-The Walking Dead boss swears that the season 6 finale wasn’t meant to toy with the audience.  That’s cute, guys.

-Here’s the number of revival eps each Gilmore Girls cast member is credited for. Imma gonna need 90% more Paris Gellar.

Oscar Isaac: Golden Globes’ MVP

-Room kidlet Jacob Tremblay is a huge Star Wars fan, and he had an adorable lightsaber battle with Oscar Isaac at a Golden Globes party. I’m dead.

-Meanwhile, EVERYONE wanted to meet Oscar last night. Smart folks.

-The Golden Globes were bizarre (check out our fashion recap if you haven’t already) and I still have no idea why Mel Gibson was there, but at least Ricky Gervais‘ “sugar tits” comment kept me awake.

-Speaking of Globes fashion, how do actresses not do the camera flashbulb test before hitting up a red carpet? Do they not have BFFs to help them with this sort of thing? I’m pretty sure Nicole wouldn’t let me leave my house without a thorough nipple pasty check under a variety of lighting scenarios…

Amy Poehler‘s Smart Girls asked some smart questions backstage last night.

Jennifer Lawrence had a busy night at the Globes. She was spotted talking to ex Nicholas Hoult and flirting with Chris Evans.

-I love JLaw (love her a little less for scolding a reporter last night for checking his phone when he was actually just trying to read out his question, though), but directors have got to STOP assuming she can play older than she is. Joy proves she shouldn’t.

Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry were spotted getting close at a Golden Globes after-party. I can’t even tell if that’s a step up or down from John Mayer. Lateral move?

-I still can’t get over Brad Pitt’s face. He’s Benjamin Buttoning for realsies.

-There have been a lot of wonderful David Bowie tributes today, but I especially love what Carol director Todd Haynes said about him a few weeks ago.

-Guys, I’m really confused about this Sean Penn/El Chapo thing. Is Penn going to get in trouble for interviewing him? Or did his interview help with the arrest? All he’s saying is he’s “got nothing to hide.” Um, ok?

-In the cover for V Magazine, Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney appear naked in a post-coital selfie. But it’s for charity, so we’re not allowed to mock it. Right?

Kevin Smith to direct an episode of The Flash. Is he going to cry again?

-We can now watch the first minute of The X-Files miniseries. I’m not going to, but knock yourself out.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are doing Kimmel together tomorrow. I can’t wait. I don’t even care that critics who’ve seen the first two hours are disappointed.  I just don’t.

-I’m not a huge fan of the dress Gillian wore to the Golden Globes parties, but at least she’s back on the party circuit!

-Wait, so Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe say that they’re not dating IRL? Sounds fake but ok.

Joshua Jackson‘s reaction when Diane Kruger reveals in this video that they like to skinny dip slays me. I’m pretty sure I’m going to revisit this GIF of it on a daily basis.

-It has taken The Mindy Project all season to work out its kinks, but last night’s finale was fab.

-Speaking of last night’s finales, Taylor Swift’s cameo on New Girl was super short and featured no singing(??), but at least Max Greenfield seemed to like it.

Jennifer Love Hewitt just dropped $3.25 million on a Pacific Palisades mansion.

James Franco wrote a movie review for The Great Gatsby. He doesn’t actually talk at all about what works and doesn’t in the movie. He does, however, drop gems like “It reminds me of my high school relationships, where I tortured girlfriends for getting fingered by other boys when they were freshmen.”

The Office‘s Ellie Kemper asks “Can men be funny?

-Speaking of The Office, Grantland’s collection of the show’s best clips sent me down a very engrossing YouTube rabbit hole today. And then I hit this video of the cast saying goodbye and tearing up, and I was done for.
