to think Gwyneth Paltrow is a nit wit?

[lucydogz]

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.

That was a fascinating NY article upthread.

The woman said kale chips were better than real chip. And she’s RIGHT. I need to go over the the preppers section of MN because clearly pigs will soon defy gravity and I need to start stock piling for the end of the world.

I saw her on BBC breakfast and wondered why the heck she was getting free advertising on the BBC for something that was not news but blatant self promotion. It ran every half hour through the programme, the BBC should not promote this kind of bollocks as news.

Completely agree flaming, bloody outrageous, it annoyed me a lot.

I wont link to it for obv reasons but the Daily Fail reports that the BBC has been "slammed" for this blatant promotion of Gloop. Quotes Professor Edzard Ernst, emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Exeter, said: ‘The only evidence her products are supported is that they render Mrs Paltrow richer and her gullible customers a little poorer.’

She named her company GOOP and people still pay ridiculous money for her stuff. Are we sure she's not conducting a very long term social experiment on the limits of credulity of customers based on having a pretty and famous founder?
