In a charity auction for The Prince’s Trust, a single yoga lesson with Gwyneth Paltrow went for £30,000, nearly $56,000 USD:
The Hollywood actress, 33, was stunned when told the amount.
The mum of Apple, two, and Moses, born last month, donated her time for a charity auction in aid of The Prince’s Trust 30th anniversary.
Gwyneth… said: “Someone’s spent a great deal of money on it so I’m going to have to really come up with an excellent plan.” But she added: “Unfortunately I can’t do it in the nude or anything to make it really exceptional but I will try and come up with a good plan for a yoga lesson.”

We don’t like Gwyneth much because she seems quite snotty, but reader Millie points out that she is super-nice to a friend of hers. Angelika also bashed us for bitching about Gwyneth’s night out so soon after her second child was born.
Regardless it’s nice that she’s donating her time to a worthy cause. Gwyneth’s one hour of time is worth much more than $56,000. She made $3.6 million for a three-minute cameo in the film Infamous, or $1.2 million per minute.
Wow.. Was my “bitching” such a big deal that you obviously can’t get over it? Come on, what’s the problem about one single comment? But well, what can I expect from a blog named “celeBITCHy”..
Hey, just wanted to apologise for the comment I just wrote.. I think I got wrong what you said, I kinda thought it was offensive against me and the other girl you mentioned, but now I’ve just read the other comments following mine for “Why is Gwyneth Paltrow going out at night already?”, which I haven’t seen before..
I just read that you have a kid yourself and I can definitely understand that such an opinion of a woman going out that soon after a birth can make a bad impression for a mum like you! I’m sorry, I didn’t want to offend you or anything, and I really regret the comment I just posted.. You obviously didn’t meant it “bitchy” at all and I apologise – as I already said, I love your blog and keep reading it on a daily basis, keep going like that =)
Sorry again, I wish I could delete what I’ve just written, I just got your post totally wrong. And I’m glad that you have a better opinion of Gwyneth now that you’ve heard my opinion and the one from this girl whose friend knows her, so.. I know that the press posts bad quotes of Gwyneth, but to me, she’s just misquoted and misunderstood..
Hope you forgive me, I just got your post wrong and I apologise =)
Hi Angelika,
Millie wanted to edit something she wrote too, and I wish the blog had that function. I use Movable Type, but now that I’m familiar with WordPress I would like to switch over since it’s so much better.
When I said you “bashed” us for “bitching” about Paltrow, I actually meant it as another viewpoint for how people feel about her vs. saying that you were flaming the site. You figured this out, and it was kind of you to apologize. Sometimes my writing is really blunt, and no apology is necessary.
Also, if you sign up with Typekey you can publish right away, but the blog is set up now so that non-typekey comments are moderated since I get a LOT of comment spam even though I have taken preventative measures.
I know how you meant it, the bad thing about internet is simply the fact that things can get misunderstood very easily.. Especially with such topics, you know =)
