Gwyneth Paltrow and Polygamy
Found a great commentary today about Gwyneth Paltrow. I've thought about her from time to time and tried (in vain) to determine just what I feel about her. Someone has voiced the definitive word over at MSNBC. "Gwyneth Paltrow - she's not just like us!" is an article by Page Ferrari, a blogger/contributor to MSNBC. It sums up in just a few quick words what we are all thinking (or probably should be). Here's a hint:
Fact: Gwyneth Paltrow is the kind of girl who ditched sixth-grade slumber parties so she could be fresh for early morning equestrian lessons.
Fact: Were you to invite Gwyneth Paltrow over for lunch, she would bring her own macrobiotic food in Tupperware containers, decline your silverware and tell you that your new pants are "slimming."
As of last check, the poll on MSNBC about peoples' thoughts on Gwyneth was fairly evenly matched between positive association and negative. Contrary to the last post about Tom Cruise and Michael Jackson, Gwyneth is someone who clearly has the right stylist and publicity team. But the fact remains, she still named a poor child Apple.
Good old Apple. It's a funny thing that celebs have taken to giving their progeny historically canine names. There's nothing wrong with that. We're used to dogs with names like Apple, Coco, Satchel, Rumer, Rocco, Blanket, etc. Looking at the list again, there not really dog names either. There's something wholly wrong with them.
Does anyone think it has to do with being separated out from normal society by fame and wealth that these children end up with names like Moon Unit? It has to have something to do with living in an alternate reality. Let's hope the family accounts don't dry up before these kids are grown. People have a hard time buying Palm Beach real estate from Alabama Zoe Gaskill (daughter of soap star Brian Gaskill).
On to more important business. Caught a new show on HBO On Demand, which I might add is a gift from God and a curse to finals studying. Has anyone else caught Big Love on HBO? You all have got to check it out. This is one of those shows that sucks you in and won't let go. Someone over there is getting it right. After the end of Sex In The City and Six Feet Under, I thought things were getting grim, but ohhhhh no. This is some good stuff.
If anyone has HBO, check it out. You won't regret it. Plus, it's great to see Bill Paxton in a role other than Chet in "Weird Science" or as that sailor dude with the creepy earring in "Titanic."
