Ah, thanks Gwenyth. I’m sure the reason Mario isn’t hitting the gym as much as you’d like him to is that he can’t afford it. It’s so generous of you to give a monied individual a free pass to your gym. Now, perhaps in return, Mario could get you free tuition in his “how to be a decent human being instead of just thinking you are” class.

I used to have a “friend” like Paltrow. I met him at college and for the few months I knew him, he wouldn’t stop bothering me about my weight. The guy was ex-navy or ex-marine or something, so it’s not like I had anything to throw back at him.

He honestly felt like he was helping me, but really, he came across as annoying, petty and pushy. I stopped hanging around with him after a while when it became obvious that, as many times as I’d asked him to stop, he wasn’t going to get the hint.

A friend should accept you for who you are, and you should accept them for who they are.

I’d like to see GP work a day in a professional kitchen. I’m certain Mario would run circles around her with the stamina it takes to work a full shift in that situation.

The only thing I pay attention to GP for is her acting. I think she’s a fantastic actress. As for her mania about her body? Well, I choose to have outrage deficit disorder, and regard so-called insider reports as the dubious sources they are.

Mario would look odd thin I think. He’s just so cute fat…he can tottally cook for me anyday. ~_^ I also hope he bakes her a sugar free cheesecake to thank her for her advice…..and then injects it with as much lard as humanly possible to thank her for her rudeness.

Part of me wants to say “Consider the source” (Page 6 not exactly being the most reliable source for news and information), but the fact that Ms. Paltrow does all those crazy detoxes, is going into business with a woman who is facing multiple lawsuits from former members of her other gyms (as well as telling women to NEVER lift more than 3 pounds!!!), and charging ultra-exorbitant fees for said gym makes me believe it to be at least partially true.
Personally, I think wealthy, privileged people should just STOP giving advice. To anyone. ‘Cause they just don’t get it.

Gwyneth Paltrow named her kid “Apple”, so I wouldn’t take any advice she has to give about anything without a LOT of careful consideration.

Maybe she’ll also encourage him to fast and do detoxes to manage his weight — just like she does.

Bronwen, “never trust a skinny chef” was the very first thing I thought of, too. Except maybe Giada.

Well, Beth Ditto can’t be her fat friend, because Beth is Kate Moss’s fat friend.

And Ann, everybody knows there’s an exception for royalty.
