Gwyneth Paltrow is tacky, uses Goop to shill for Tracy Anderson’s fraud

goop1

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn’t mind being associated with fraud trainer Tracy Anderson. And when I call Tracy a “fraud” I mean she’s an honest-to-God fraud who has bilked business partners out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, not to mention the “fraud” of telling women that she can remake their body if they only drop to 1,000 calories a day while working out 2 hours a day (how could that NOT work?). Anyway, Gwyneth is now business partners with Tracy, and they co-own some gyms or something. This is all happened around the same time that Madonna dropped Tracy like a hot potato, and I’ve always believed that Tracy is one of the main reasons that Gwyneth and Madge aren’t friends anymore. But I digress – Gwyneth associates herself with Chipmunk McBoltOns, and now Gwyneth is shilling Tracy’s “Method” yet again in her Goop newsletter:

By now, I think you all know how amazing I think my trainer, partner and friend Tracy Anderson is, how she kicked my twice pregnant ass into shape, and keeps taking me to new levels. Tracy’s dream has always been to be able to make her ingenious customized-to-your-problem-areas program available to any woman who is up for the challenge—and now she has. See below! It’s pretty f’ing great ’cause it works!

[From Goop]

Then Goop gives the newsletter over to Tracy for what amounts to a commercial for her “method”. Goop also included this video:

Ugh. Okay, I’ve stopped feeling sorry for Gwyneth temporarily. Now I’m back to just wanting to smack the snot out of her. How tacky is this? How cheap and budget is it to promote your fraudulent business partner on your “newsletter”? When did Gwyneth become so “f’ing” tacky?

Oh, well. I guess we should be grateful that Gwyneth wasn’t telling us about some NEW FANCY juice detox. AGAIN. Because Goop can’t poop naturally. That’s for peasants.

    I might be mistaking but I think the short one is L Ron Hubbard.

  2. mia girl says:

    GROSS Tracy Anderson looks so gross in that top pick with her workout pants rolled downed to her “cha cha” GROSS.

    Doesn’t she know showing your hip bones that way is only for MALE Abercrombie models? Then again, she kinda does have boy hips.

    • Laura Lee says:

      Gross? I would love to have a body that “gross” as you call it. Which is where Madonna’s and Gwyneth’s gross bodies come from. Her fraud is not in her training as is apparent by those she trains.

    I heard a story about Goopy from friends who work in a high end NYC restaurant. They said she went in there for a meeting and had hot water with lemon for lunch. That sounds like a really healthy meal to me.

    • Laura Lee says:

      Maybe they went in for a drink, not lunch. My understanding is that Gwyneth chooses to continue to chow down and in turn does more exercising to allow that because she, like me, loves her food too much. She chooses to eat what she wants and makes the sacrifice to work it off. I like the idea of the eating what you want part.

  4. Jennifer says:

    What the hell is wrong with that woman’s face?! WOW!

    • Laura Lee says:

      Nothing is wrong with her face. The face shapes are round, oval, heart and square. I believe those are all and I do believe she falls into one of those categories.

    • Laura Lee says:

  5. TG says:

    They are starting to look alike. Wish I could afford to having someone follow me around to keep me from eating.

    • Laura Lee says:

      Oh it’s exercise. Gwyneth eats what she wants and I assure you it is not lemon water. She’d rather eat what she likes and work out extra to keep it off. I’d like to eat what I want and look so good. I just don’t want to do a workout anymore than diet. Hopefully I change that…Soon.

  6. TeeTee says:

    no thanks to BS Goopy!!

    this “trainer” was even taken to court for NOT paying her rent, smdh..

    maybe she has the secret goods on Goopy and Goopy is kinda forced, LOL

    Tracy looks a mess and she looks suspect w/make-up piled on too..

    yeah she’s healthy alright, more like sheisty.

  7. malachais says:

    After viewing the first pic, it is evident that these women are pretty fug without makeup and proper styling.

    • Laura Lee says:

      I don’t know anybody that looks red carpet ready after a workout these two must have gone through. They’re gorgeous and fit. Look at the side by side pictures of the two further down. I know of no make-up that would make me look as fit as these two. It takes hard work and yes sweat so why even apply make-up. Many men couldn’t do what these two do.

  8. Nanea says:

    Why have women these things bolted onto their chests? I will never get that.

    Oh, and Goopy? Too loopy for my taste.

  9. Turquoise Blue says:

    LOL @ Rita

    Work out all you like, Tracy, but with those awful bolt-on tits you’re always going to look like crap.

  10. filthycute says:

    Right, let me fork my hard-earned money over to this greasy bulimic troll whose hip bones look like they could cut a steak.

    Her arm workouts are hilarious. I love watching this retard’s workout.

  11. filthycute says:

    I was dancing like that to my New Kids on the Block album in 1988!

    As I see it, Tracy owes me money.

  12. sandy says:

    well, that’s what gullible people who think celebrities are any thing but people like the rest of the world, i hope this is a wake up call, stop watching and supporting these crooks, including smart water, perfumes, etc.

  13. Riley says:

    She has the exact same shaped face as Bethenny Frankel. I doubt that is natural but perhaps some of you have more insight as to why their jaw bones jut out that way. Is it because of plastic surgery, being too thin, or the signs of a real eating disorder?

  14. original kate says:

    “she kicked my twice pregnant ass into shape, and keeps taking me to new levels.”

    translation: baby fat is for peasants.

  15. mymy says:

    Madonna fired Tracey not because she is a fraud. She fired her because she fell in love with someone that works for Madonna. And Madonna can not have the attention on her taken away with something like this. And those of us in the know realize Madonna stole much music and inspiration right down to complete copying of famous photo’s. She is not the pillar of honesty. So please don’t think this had anything to do with Madonna’s morals.
    I understand how Gweneth can annoy. But everything she does is not really worthy of such a negative attitude.
    Really I see no crime in her sharing what she likes. I just choose to ignore her.She doesn’t have to live by my standard just because I don’t like her.

  16. Leah says:

    i despise her

  17. Cha Cha Loca says:

    Worst. Tits. Ever! And Fishsticks drives me nuts. Shut your damn pie hole already.

  18. Bunny says:

    They are supposed to be “healthy”. Haven’t they heard that 10% body fat actually prevents women from getting diseases like cancer, osteoporosis, etc.

  19. Sloane Wyatt says:

    Oh, Gwinnie! Doesn’t your hair loss and premature osteoporosis tell you that you are starving your body with unnecessary extreme low calorie diets and disordered exercise regimens?

    Gwyneth, I truly hope you google yourself and stop the madness before you harm yourself further. At least check out Tracy Anderson for who she really is http://gabsmash.blogspot.com/2007/07/who-is-this-tracy-anderson.html, a criminal who does NOT share any of your family values that you talk about.

    If it’s so important for you to be thin, you can do it in so many easier, safer, and healthier ways. Jackie Warner’s ‘So this is Why You’re Fat’ comes to mind. You CAN eat and not over exercise and be the ‘ideal’ you have set for yourself. I know you don’t want to be known as associating with a fraud and a grifter, and I know you don’t want to wake up one day and find yourself irredeemably sick. Girl, wake up and smell the coffee before it’s too late!

  20. poppy says:

    why would you pay someone to make your groin look like it belongs on michael phelps?
    anderson is scary.
    paltry still has pancake butt.
    100% fail. both of them.

  21. GradStudentEatingHotPockets says:

    @Riley
    I don’t know specifically for Tracy or Bethanny, but for some people when they drop weight they drop a ton of fat in their face as well…so it’s like everything is super jagged and harsh looking.
    I think some people have implants and stuff to change their face shape…but Tracy and Bethanny have like
    no body fat it appears. ha

  22. Amy says:

    Sorry, GOOP. I like having breasts, hips and enough body fat to menstruate, thank you very much.

  23. Amanda says:

    Gwyneth should stick to trying to find dress silhouettes that are more flattering to her figure. Girl does not have a waist.

  24. OtherChris says:

    Those are the worst implants I’ve ever seen. Stunning.

  25. Gwen says:

    @Riley: I’ve seen references to her jaw being a “bulemia jaw”. I don’t know much about what it means though.

  26. jensational says:

    it looks like gwynnie is lactating. her boobs are all wet, lol

  27. mia girl says:

    OK, I think we need a “SCARED STRAIGHT” type video for young women, hell, ALL women, in which we cover in detail how most of these celebrity women really lose weight (1000 cal per day, laxative regimens, fasts, over exercising, maple syrup/cayenne pepper diets etc etc) and talk about what that does to your body, your self esteem, your ability to become pregnant and sustain a pregnancy and your ability to sustain a healthy weight and lifestyle in the long run.

    Then show how fraudulent all these celebrity trainers are and the insidious ideas thrown at us that these approaches are safe/effective vs. what these stars are REALLY doing to be thin, claiming they are doing something else.

    Who is a producer on this thread? Please get to this stat!

  28. Henriette says:

    Mortifying. So, Gwynnie’s blog now links to informercials…? Yeah, I know she’s an investor in Tracy’s business so will make a lot of money off this but doesn’t she see how crass and transparent she’s being? For someone whose “personal brand” is built on being classy and upscale, Gwyn is being awfully dumb.

  29. justez says:

    @ Gwen
    Bulimia jaw is when people who have thrown up so much, their jaw swells.
    some people say it sort of causes them to want to throw up more b/c it makes it look like they have a double chin, but idk if that’s true.
    And Paltrow just drives me nuts, and I always see Anderson’s name associated with celebrities i don’t particularly care for.

  30. Lindsay says:

    @Riley – its usually a sign of long term bulimia the salivary glands swell from repetitive vomiting. So glamorous!

    Re: Filthy Cute So Jennifer Aniston gets crucified on here for using the “r-word” but it is ok for commenters? The other post was funny though.

  31. Bill Hicks is God says:

    “In just seven days, I can make you a MA-HA-HA-HA-HAN!”

    Never mind that, then there’s her crazy notion that zero body fat is somehow okay. Lose pounds, and your period, with the Tracy Anderson method. Stellar.

  32. Susan says:

    This seems to prove my suspicions that Paltrow is really only interested in one thing: Money. She clearly doesn’t care what sort of BS she needs to shill in order to make it.

    Granted, many celebs endorse products for profit, which I don’t mind. But what’s insufferable regarding the GOOP endorsements of TA is that she acts like she is a better human being for doing it. Puh-lease.

    Go on! Click on the order button!!!!

  33. Granger says:

    I think it’s sad that Gwynnie has become such a poster child for how obsessed our society is with appearance and weight. I used to think she was a good actress. Now it’s like she doesn’t think she can be a good actress OR a good person without reaching some strange level of physical perfection, and then talking about it ad nauseum.

    Remember when she wore shorts to a film premiere and marvelled at how wonderful it is that she, a 38-year-old mom of two, can actually wear SHORTS in public? And here, it’s the twice-pregnant ass comment. Is there really any question anymore about whether or not Gwyneth thinks she’s better than the rest of us???

  34. Gabriela says:

    Those before & after photos are SOOOOO photoshopped that it makes me feel bad for whoever buys this shit.

  35. CB Rawks says:

    The zimmer frame workout?

  36. lucy2 says:

    I agree Granger.
    Goop does have a good figure, but seems obsessive. If she really follows Tracy’s methods, it’s NOT healthy. She’s foolish to have that fraud as a trainer, and even more so to go into business with her.

  37. echolocate says:

    Maybe Chris Martin is keeping his distance because he’s not taken in by Tracy?

    It would be worrying just to see your spouse become enthralled with a charlatan, let alone go into business with her.

  38. Fire says:

    I honestly don’t know how this woman looked at herself in the mirror and thought she looked good in that dress. Those bolt-ons look just all sorts of wrong, not to mention how pronounced her “bulimia” jaw looks with her hair pulled back so tight. Really – this is what we should aspire to look like?? So….natural!

    And, yeah, filthycute – please refrain from using that word. It is VERY un-PC and it gives people with disabilities a bad name by the comparison to this shiester.

  39. Jayna says:

    Goop is her website. Who cares. Don’t go on it if you don’t want Gwinnie’s advice or tips.

  40. Jayna says:

    @Riley, Gwyneth has had that shape face/jaw since she was young. Watch her in a movie when she was young and/or when she was engaged to Brad Pitt. She cut her hair very short, so it was more prominent even back then.

    Oops, if you were talking about the trainer, never mind my comment above. LOL

  41. Crash2GO2 says:

    Tracy’s mat workout is awesome. Her diet advice, personality and ethics are appalling.

  42. Matt says:

    That last picture! *gasps in horror*

  43. Gwen says:

    @justez: Thanks – a lot of people if Hollywood seem to have that sort of jaw.. Sad really.

  44. di butler says:

    You’d be better off buying that $50 flyswatter Gwennie was hawking at Christmas.

  45. lucy2 says:

    I just got a better look at that last photo (unfortunately) – she looks like a photoshop Frankenstein! All different parts put together badly and out of scale with each other. Hideous!

  46. Fue McCormick says:

    Wow … those bolt-ons look like they hurt …

  47. GoopSucks says:

    ATTENTION!!!!! If you really want to be disgusted w/ Goopy (I am now officially done watching Glee forever). Just read how she just made thousands for a convicted pedophile who is banned from 19 countries – and the song is call “Do You Wanna Touch Me” sung by a teacher sexily to a bunch of high schoolers or in real life, jailbait. I never disliked her for being remote, but I am officially disgusted w/ her after the Tracy thing and this.

  48. Neve says:

    hey if Gwyneth is stupid enough to perform a song written by a sex offender on glee then she’s stupid enough to be in business with TA=p

  49. truthzbetta says:

    “Chipmunk McBoltons” is the funniest thing I’ve ever read. Ever.

    I never listen to/watch/buy crap from a trainer with implants or surgery. Distracting, ugly and gross for starters. Also, I want someone who makes their body type amazing through the fitness routine they’re selling me.

    Ask men, they like quite the range of women so if you’re selling a fitness routine you damn well better have got the bod from working out. I’ve known so many women just get sad when favorite exercise trainer gets body parts sewn on because they lose the inspiration that person gave them. Lots of people want to work with nature not a scalpel on a narcissist.
