to think Gwyneth Paltrow is a nit wit?

albeit a very very rich nitwit?
Did anyone else catch her on Radio 4 this morning?
At one point the presentor asking her if she really thought that circassian (or some other guff) crystals could help with infertility issues. (In a tone of scarcely concealed incredulity)
GP then drones on about the miraculous ability of the human body to heal itself..blah blah
It was great radio (I'm not sure why GP was on in the first place) but, unfortunately, I don't think GP realised how ridiculous she sounded.

Yes, I did and totally agree with you. But couldn’t fathom why they wasted to airtime or gave her the exposure- unless to prove a point

babswindsor · 09/10/2018 17:48

I absolutely agree with you OP. Is she quite sane?

crosstalk · 09/10/2018 17:52

Is the editor of today quite sane? I would have thought most people listening to R4 wouldn't want to hear about a GOOP pop up shop in London - the programme's London-centric enough without wasting valuable time on a here today gone tomorrow shop in the capital run by an actress whose opinions on health care are a laughing stock.

Full on mental.

Aprilislonggone · 09/10/2018 17:54

Her dd is called Apple.
Nuff said.

Tahani · 09/10/2018 17:55

She was on BBC breakfast for too long this morning

Dull dull dull

Singlebutmarried · 09/10/2018 17:57

Credit for the use of nit wit.

It is very much underused.

And, yes, she is. Grade A billy bonkers.

couchparsnip · 09/10/2018 17:58

She sounds like a nit wit but has loads of cash so she's merely eccentric.

TwitterQueen1 · 09/10/2018 18:03

It's taken you this long to realise this?! Wink

It was her quinoa and poached egg dinner recipe in her cookbook that convinced me - and that was some years ago...

LightDrizzle · 09/10/2018 18:06

Also felt the need to recognise your use of nit-wit! 🙌
It is definitely overdue ressurection.

kitkatsky · 09/10/2018 18:07

Hehe I'm keen to know who buys her magical healing vagina eggs

username34939508 · 09/10/2018 18:08

cray-cray as a box of frogs

lucydogz · 09/10/2018 18:09

I feel nit wit is appropriate, as she's probably very agreeable. Just perhaps a trifle dim/boring.

Topseyt · 09/10/2018 18:11

She's loopy.

I admire your restraint using the term nitwit too.

SagelyNodding · 09/10/2018 18:18

Isn't she the one who steam cleans her vag? Says it all really

VerbeenaBeeks · 09/10/2018 18:22

If she's the one that steams her chuff, I'm completely with you on this Grin
Oh and her "conscious uncoupling." That'd be splitting up then lol! Grin pretentious turnip Grin

Barbadosgirl · 09/10/2018 18:27

R4 boss owed her people a favour maybe? Also a very high calibre thread: nit wit and grade A Billy Bonkers. Excellent!

PreventCrookedTeeth · 09/10/2018 18:29

She is running a business. Goodness knows who buys the products she sells, but we can only assume that they have more money than they know what to do with. There are plenty of free ways to improve wellness and well being, but promoting those isn't lucrative. I am currently involved in a health campaign raising awareness of the relationship between the way faces are meant to grow and a range of health problems. Our answers are simple, easy and free. They could save the NHS a fortune and improve the health of the next generation enormously. Our budget so far has been limited to donations, which means that getting the ball rolling will be slow to begin with. Sadly, I can't see Gwyneth Paltrow donating.

mimibunz · 09/10/2018 18:32

She’s so Hollywood but I don’t have a problem with her.

mimibunz · 09/10/2018 18:33

The thing about Hollywood is that everyone, not just celebs, believe this stuff. It’s a bubble.

Sparklesocks · 09/10/2018 18:35

I think it’s easier to get more out of touch and dim as you get richer, you don’t live in the real world anymore and are surrounded by people who think dropping £1000 on a designer yoga mat is standard practice. Your sense of reality measures of reference are completely warped.

HildaZelda · 09/10/2018 18:35

I bet when her and Chris Martin finally 'consciously uncoupled', he legged it down the road to the nearest chipper.
D'you think she steam cleaned her vagina after sex? Her version of a penis beaker?

SingingSands · 09/10/2018 18:39

Did anyone read the article in the Times by Deborah Ross? Had me merrily chuckling away.

PipGoesPop · 09/10/2018 18:42

She's making more sense than some of these 'woke' fuckwits

SymphonyofShadows · 09/10/2018 18:44

She's very far from agreeable. Remember that women who work 9-5 have it so much easier than she does according to her.

There was a thread on here a few years back calling her 'Queen of Arse', I always think of her as that now.
