Snobbery
Snobbery: (Noun) The trait of condescending to those of lower social status.Gwyneth Paltrow defended "GOOP" yesterday, "GOOP" being her famous "lifestyle" website that details how you can be a better person by living like Gwyneth Paltrow. And naturally, she did it as condescendingly as she possibly could.
"I think the people who are criticizing it or criticizing the idea of it, don't really get it, because if they did, they would like it," Paltrow, 36, told PEOPLE Wednesday night.
Paltrow said she believes some of the barbs simply stem from the fact that she's doing something new and different. "I think that people like people to stay in their 'box' - they like people to stay how they are comfortable seeing them." (Source)
Well that should change minds. Because if there's one thing people love, it's basically being called ignorant simpletons. Sure, we don't understand her controversial website because we're all just so threatened by Gwyneth telling people what restaurants she likes to eat at and what shoes she likes to wear. At least this should prepare us for when she becomes the first public advocate for legalizing Bolivian slavery, anyway.

I take it GOOP includes world-class tips on making denial the cornerstone of your fabulousness.
I think Paltrow should have stayed in HER box - the one from Se7en!
I just spent a delightful twenty minutes perusing her website (on the company dime), and I think it's hilarious how cheerfully out of touch with reality she is. She's basically Marie Antoinette. Or the girl from "Common People." Or, you know, an entitled bitch with a Mother Theresa complex, except instead of feeding the hungry or healing the sick she tells people which Louboutins to wear with their leggings and sweater dresses.
We don't want people to "stay in their box", Ms. Paltrow. All we want is for you to take your way of doing things, your opinions, and anything not relating to you as Pepper Potts in Iron Man 2, and shove all of that in your box. Just cram it real tightly, bitch! Only the wife of the frontman for the most pretentious pop/rock group EVER would say shit like this.
P.S. Hey Gwyneth, what do you and ColdPlay have in common...neither of you belongs at the Oscars. Stay home!
I wouldn't criticize the "idea" of sealing her in a box and sending her to the bottom of the Atlantic.
Meh, reading about darling little hotels in Paris and reading snide comments on starlet weight-loss...hard to say which is the more pointless procrastination. Except if you're insecure the former might make you feel worse about yourself and the latter better.
LMFAO @ Tarn!!
Polly,
Sorry you're insecure... maybe try laughter, it's a great medicine.
Goop isn't a nice name for the website. It sounds like a POOP!
