Gwyneth Paltrow II

[Sunnyhorse]

I always thought she was a pretty child, but, like Lily-Rose Depp, the older she’s gotten, the more disagreeable she looks.

I can't believe I'm defending Gwyneth's offspring, but here it goes. I give Apple Martin (poor name, girl) credit for starting a career; certainly she's benefiting from an Oscar-winning mom (*coughCatewasrobbedcough*) and famous grandparents. What are you going to do when you can do anything?

At least she's not wasting time by being a train-wreck (I think Apple Martin) getting into trouble (Nick Hogan) or die prematurely of from a combo of impossible expectations and too much money to fund bad habits (R.I.P. Bobbi Kristina Brown).

For nepo babbies, you either have a talent in a field your parent(s) aren't involved in (Stella McCartney, Duncan Jones*) or be so talented or lucky you're more famous than your parent(s), like Elvis Costello (R.I.P. Ross) or Jeff Buckley (R.I.P. to both).

It's a double-edged sword that you have the resources and connections, but may not be good enough or ready for the unforgiving spotlight. I'll give Apple Martin a chance. Lily-Rose Depp is...a person (same as her brother).

*Yes, David Bowie (David Robert Jones) acted in movies (and was deeply underrated as an actor in my opinion), but Bowie was primarily known as a musician.

P. S. - This took so long to write, it's now my 41st birthday!

Thanks, although I got a Twitter reminder of this tragedy every year is rough. Thanks for bumming me out, historian Michael Beschloss!

OT: I don't blame Apple Martin for her face when she was born to two of the smuggest people on planet Earth!

Happy belated birthday,cremetangerine!

So far, all Apple has done is show up at Fashion Week, which, meh. I have no idea what she'll do with her life, but she's in college, so hopefully she'll figure it out at some point.

Surprised there is no commentary regarding her trial for reckless skiing! This morning there was a photo of her at the defendent's table and if I was on that jury I would have voted guilty then and there, just because of how smug she looked!

I'm just shocked that she started skiing at age 3, has all the free time and money in the world, skis many times a year, and is still only an intermediate skier.

I had no idea this was going on! It seemed like the perfect occasion to refresh my avatar!

I'd been meaning to post about this interview about her diet that she did recently that went viral. It's just outlining an eating order basically. It's not contained in the TikTok in the article I posted, but later on the host calls attention to the fact that she has an IV in as they talk. The IV was for nutrients that plenty people pointed out are easy to obtain if you just eat food--it's found in eggs and soybeans. Not exotic.

I think GP looks nice when she's glammed up with the full stylist and makeup team treatment but when she's not she looks really wan and unhealthy.

That's the smug face pic I was talking about - if I looked out of the jury box and saw that, I'd think to myself 'oh, she guilty as HELL!!!!'

I have yet to hear a celebrity report what they eat in a day without it sounding like a confession of an eating disorder.

US Weekly used to (maybe still does) have a famous celebrity woman do a complete list of what she eats in a day. I remember Julianne Hough's very well. She ate healthy food (salmon, broccoli, almonds, dark chocolate) but the quantities she ate only added up to 1,200 calories. And she was rehearsing three hours a day for a dance tour at the time. It had a doctor's disclaimer at the bottom, "This is not enough calories for an adult woman, especially if she's dancing." Jenna DeWan's had the same disclaimer.

The worst was Kelly Ripa's. It was something like: No breakfast, just black coffee. Then she does the TV show. After the show, she has half an apple and some nuts. Then she works out for two hours. Lunch is a salad with tofu. Afternoon snack is the rest of the apple and more nuts. Dinner is another salad and tofu. It was seriously one of the craziest things I've ever read. It almost seemed like a cry for help.

As for Gwyneth, hers didn't sound quite that bad to me because it didn't sound like she was listing off every single thing she eats. Generally saying that you like bone broth soups for lunch and try to eat a lot of vegetables is not that nutty. I guess a lot of people don't eat bone broth soup so they don't know that it can have a lot of stuff in it - like meat, vegetables and potatoes. (I eat instant keto bone broth soups that are powdered and come in a styrafoam container. Gwyneth would never.)
