I can't believe Perez Hilton was quicker off the mark than both me and Lola - and to think we call ourselves super fans.. Either way, can't wait to get my hands on the actual issue of Elle in which Ms. Paltrow describes all her favourite things.. and to keep it consistent with the similar articles she writes for Goop - almost all of her recommendations are pretty out of the price range for the common folk.
Can't you just lower yourself to recommending something from Ikea for once Gwynnie?!?!
Anyway, here's the link to the post on perezhilton.com..

Only A Cameo!?!
What a travesty..! As an Academy Award winning actress and general inspiration, HRH Gwyneth Paltrow should have been the star of the Glee: Concert Movie, over all those relative unknowns she had to share her screentime with on the show. Instead Gwynnie has been relegated to a cameo role..
I would boycott the whole thing but I think that would be a bit spiteful. I don't want to deny Gwyn her royalties from my cinema ticket.
I'm a bit apalled they've decided to release it in 3D - the bane of my cinema going life. I would probably quietly put up with the unpleasant visual assault of 3D films if there wasn't a compulsory surcharge for the 'privelege'.
To top it all off, the set list for the movie is a bit shocking, not nearly enough of Rachel Berry/Lea Michele - my (and Gwyneth's) favourite hot half Jew..
I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come from Glee Season 3, Ryan Murphy I'm looking at you.

Contagion
My love for Gwyneth isn't as infectious as I'd first hoped. However, she's starring in Steven Soderbergh's upcoming film Contagion.. (such a tenuous link, lolz). Look at that cast! Anything with Winslet is a sure fire hit.. good on you Gwyn.
Not too long to wait either..
Oh, and I had food poisoning on the weekend. Thanks for those undercooked sausages guys - you know who you are. Well, aside from the plus of losing a bit of water weight, I still can't stomach anything more exciting than white carbs. Whilst looking at all the pulses and grains in Wholefoods yesterday I genuinely considered becoming a raw food vegan because I honestly don't remember the last time I'd felt that awful (not alcohol related at least). I think Gwynnie would approve of raw food veganism.
In other news, a big R.I.P. to another love of my life, Amy Winehouse. Haterz gon' hate but she was incredible. Such a sad day.

Who Do You Think You Are... Gwyneth Paltrow?
For the record, I am not Jewish.. and I am certainly not anti semitic. A disclaimer may be necessary - I don't want to attract the haters (just the appreciators).
My close friends can vouch that my appreciation for Jewish culture is a very serious matter. I think an over exposure to Woody Allen in my youth and my deep kinship with another great Jew - Nigella Lawson. Her forays into the religious side of Judaisim are, I hear, limited. However she has been known to conjure up a steaming pot of 'Jewish Penicillin' (Chicken Soup).
So understandably when I heard that our dear beloved Gwynnie was reneging on her original plan to raise Apple and Moses in a secular, spiritualist home and instead focus on her Jewish heritage - I was pretty excited (almost as much as I was watching Charlotte convert for Harry in Sex and the City).
As a non-Jew, flagrant adoption of Jewish cuisine could be deemed cultural appropriation or some such thing. I don't think there's much difference between my enjoyment of borscht and bagels to another person claiming a fondness for Thai cuisine for example.
Anyway, this is about Gwyneth Paltrow - not me. In honour of her recent decision.. I'm going to attempt to make some traditional chicken soup and matzo balls.. using the Nigella recipe. Best of both Jews.
Keep posted for pics and taste testimonies from whoever is lucky enough to try it.
Oh and p.s. I think lolz need to be had that Gwynnie only decided to raise her kids Jewish because her ancestors are 'influential rabbis'.. apparently her late Jewish father wasn't important enough.

She wore an itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny...
Hi guys!
We have one fabulous post for you in the works, but since neither of us are geniuses (even though I graduated from Canada's Harvard) we can't seem to understand how to upload videos from my phone to this blog.
Anyway, while we work on it, here is the latest on the Gwynnie.
She was seen with Steven Spielberg and Apple and Moses frolicking on a beach somewhere with an exotic name in a red-hot bikini looking more fabulous then ever!
Here are some pics:

Here are some pics:
I wish I looked like this in the shower. Or on my yatch.
Working out. Obviously. There is no such thing as a day off...even on vaycay.
The next pic is quite puzzling...it definitely looks like she has some cellulite...but surely it must be just a bad angle/lighting:
You know how much I love Gwynnie, but I have to admit that it'd be nice if she were just a little human and showed some flaw of some sort. What do you think: cellulite or just bad picture??
I would definitely post some picture of myself in my bathing suit as well, but I don't want Gwynnie to feel bad about her own figure. And there are already too many compromising pictures of myself out there.
Lots of love
Lola
Ps: LOVE jet-lag!!! I can work out and be all energetic at 6 am. I feel very close to Gwynnie these days.

Glee and other fabulosities
Lukas has been harassing me to watch some little show called Glee for quite some time now. Why should I care about a bunch of high schoolers singing in a choir somewhere in America? The thought of sitting through an episode of Dawson's creek meets the Sound of Music was quite unattractive to me (well, come to think of it...Pacey and Fraulein Maria together in one show, singing, could be quite possibly the best thing ever...anyway, moving on) and I simply refused to embark on the Glee boat. Then, came this one fateful lazy morning (well, lazy is not that lazy since I automatically wake up at 7:00 every morning) and a few hours to spare. I thought I'd just check the pilot out, one short episode, make a friend happy.
Here I am 3 hours later, 4 episodes in: COMPLETELY ADDICTED. I am gleeked!!!
And you know what the best part of the show is: GWYNNIE-GIRL MAKES GUEST APPEARANCES!!! Ok, I'm not far enough in the season to have actually seen her in one of the episodes, BUT thanks to the magic of this little website called Youtube (heard of it? It's great, you'll love it.) we can watch her work her magic over and over and over again. WE LOVE IT!!! She is so talented!!! She actually makes the songs sound better than the originals! Crazyyyy!
Here's her cover of Cee-lo's (whoever that is) Forget You:
My favorite is this one, I swear it will make you cry:
So, did you cry? No? Do you have no heart? Have you never loved? or been loved?
Also, Gwynnie has decided to show some skin (duh, we would as well if we had her body) in Vanity Fair this month. She looks gorgeous! And may I just say that not a lot of women can pull off the fishnet-half-naked-with-jewellery look that tastefully. Even I, who when trying to be sexy just ends up looking cute (or plain ridiculous) would scare a hooker in such an attire.

So, hope you become addicted to Glee! And hope this picture above makes you want to work out like a crazy person. Personally, I just want to buy fishnets and wear them with all my diamonds.
Lots of Love!!!
WWGD?
