Remember Gwyneth Paltrow’s grand apology to PETA?
It was for not noticing the cheetah-like stealth of a fur-bearing stylist who (she later claimed) quickly draped a fox stole over her shoulders during a photo shoot.
Bad fur! Yucky!
Oddly, she never apologized to PETA for wearing these laced-up, fur-trimmed boots in another ad for the same luxury retailer, by the way.
That must have been one sneaky stylist.
We’re also still waiting for a “mea culpa, PETA” and some self-flagellation (with a pleather whip, of course) for the pre-Thanksgiving issue of Gwyneth’s fan newsletter (available at GOOP.com) — in which she raved about her Thanksgiving turkey and turkey-burger recipes. And this from a woman who claims: “I haven’t eaten meat for about fifteen years.”
Somehow, though, I doubt PETA is holding its hairball-stank breath for an apology over the latest GOOP newsletter issue, which just came out this morning.
It’s gift-giving season, and Paltrow’s not recommending tofu, polyester clothing, or plastic shoes.
Here are a couple of items from Gwyneth’s list of “ideas for gifts to unwrap.”
Read these and imagine you work at PETA:
- Personalized Smythson Notebooks (all bound in leather, with silk pockets)
- A Jamie Oliver cookbook (“Loaded with photos that cover common skills like cleaning and preparing fresh lobster [and] discerning degrees of doneness in meat … A simple baked potato is made savory by stuffing it with bacon …”)
- The Hermes Women’s Cape Cod Watch (with calf skin leather strap, of course)
- The Mulberry Weekend Bag, “Small Clipper” in chocolate natural leather (because what men really want for Christmas is a soft, brown purse … and it’s out of stock anyway)
- Barneys New York Cashmere Socks (because goats don’t have the right to keep their hair, no matter what PETA says)
- A deluxe Paella Kit (note to PETA: just add shellfish and sausage!)
- The Daylesford Organic Christmas Treats Hamper (including cheddar cheese, and “natural” honey from organically oppressed worker bees)
- The Dean & Deluca Small Ultimate Gift Set (which actually includes “truffled goose foie gras” — didn’t Gwyneth get the memo about that?)
How on earth is PETA not all up in her giant Shallow Hal undies over these things? Is she paying them off? Are they just hypocritically giving her a pass on supporting the death of animals they can’t raise money “protecting”?
Or is Gwyneth the shallow one? After all, she only apologized for pissing on one tiny part of the vegan utopia.

Lol, how can I spend a lot of money on crap and still make it look good, I know, buy over priced crap.
I was suprised to learn that Turkey wasn’t a meat. But then again, I am one of those intellectually supressed Ammerican’s she always mentions to the british m.s.m. – A good college education is so hard to get now-a-days. I need to attend the college Gwyneth attended.
P.S. – I am not the Lisa who reads goop.
Lisa, if you would like to, briefly, attend University of California at Santa Barbara, you too can be as haughty and entitled as Gwyneth.
Oh, who are we fooling. No one can be THAT fabulous.
Maybe Gwyneth has figured out that if she can be contrite about the fur thing to PETA, she gets a pass on all the other animal-related stuff. I mean, PETA has no consistency in its beliefs so why should the celebrities who pretend to care about the same issues?
I agree with MC Mom here. If PETA can’t deal with consistency, why should any of the celebrities who brown nose them?
I am also thinking the same way than MC Mom on this. The term “Consistency” is quite vague at PETA headquarters.
I think Fishyth is afraid of getting floured and deep-fried by Peta. What are these celebs so skeered of, DAMN.
i love how gwyneth thinks shes just so good at everything. please.
I just love that her gift ideas are so ridiculously over the top. Of course, the American has over a thousand dollars to pay for a watch! If she’d going to be writing advice and suggestions to typical people, she’s got to get in touch with what their bank accounts are like.
Supposedly we’re in a bad economy, folks are getting pink slipped, and all Princess Gwynnie can do is recommend Hermes watches as holiday gifts.
Dear Gwynnie: You can’t be serious. Did you start this website project on a dare? If you did, I think you lost the bet. Your fabulosity quotient is oh so way much higher than all the little dweebs in the universe, how can you lower yourself so? Please go back to being a serious actress. You are not cut out for social work.
I think Gwynnie is buying indulgences from SOMEONE just to be allowed to walk around without being skinned alive and rolled in lemon juice. I hate her like a telemarketing spider with an annoying laugh. HATE, I tell you.
