Dude, everyone hates Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. To the extreme! While I find Gwyneth’s snotty attitude offensive, I’m don’t really take her Goopy advice too personally. Sometimes, I actually enjoy it, in the “Goop is such a pretentious piece of work, let’s mock and laugh at her” sort of way. But “Real Housewife of New York” Bethenny Frankel takes it personally, and Frankel lashed out at Gwyneth (and her Goopy recipes) at a recent event. In case you don’t follow the “Real Housewives” (which I don’t, for the most part), Bethenny is the one without a husband, who was the runner-up on Martha Stewart’s Apprentice, and who just bought herself a new pair of boobs. She’s also something of a genuine chef and foodie, an accomplished food writer and just this year, she released her first cookbook: Naturally Thin – Unleash Your Skinnygirl & Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting. Guess how much she hates the Goopster?
If Gwyneth Paltrow ever gets another cooking special, it’s really going to irk Bethenny Frankel.
“I’d rather staple my eyelids shut than watch Gwyneth cook,” the chef told us during the launch of her bottled Skinnygirl Margaritas at the Montauk Yacht Club on Saturday.
She added, “Gwyneth is afraid to [reveal] who she really is – she’s so manhandled by publicists and managers. Her show would be way too boring to watch.”
The “Real Housewives of New York” star confided that she has been approached to create a food series of her own, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

I hate myself for agreeing with Bethenny Frankel. Like, there are no words for how much I hate myself, and how much I agree with with Frankel. The best Goop newsletters are always the ones where Gwyneth actually gives us her own advice, which she hasn’t been doing recently. She just gets her “friends” and her “shrinks” to tell us how to live our lives. I’ve started to wonder if Gwyneth might be getting tired of all of this Goop nonsense, just because she’s run out of things to say. Are Bethenny and I wrong? Is Gwyneth still interesting? Or is she really as boring as we think?
