    Gwyneth Paltrow Hates Her Movie 'Shallow Hal'

    The ‘Avenger: Endgame’ actress names the 2001 critically-panned romantic comedy fronted by comedian Jack Black as her ‘least favorite’ film in her catalogue.
    Feb 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2001 comedy “Shallow Hal” is her “least favourite” movie she’s worked on.
    The Oscar-winning actress opened up on her career in a ‘BFF Test’ sponsored by Netflix’s “The Goop Lab” – which gives an inside look at the “Avengers: Endgame” star’s celebrated lifestyle brand.
    Gwyneth was partnered with her assistant and close friend, Kevin Keating, and when he was asked to name his pal’s “least favourite performance,” Keating immediately guessed “Shallow Hal”, as the star added, “Exactly.”
    “I’m not sure who told you to do that one. But it wasn’t me. Not around for that,” said Keating.
    Gwyneth added, “That was before your time, see what happened…”
    The actress appeared as Rosemary in the Farrelly brothers’ movie, which was panned at the time of release for promoting “fat discrimination.”
    In the film, Jack Black plays the superficial Hal, who only falls for physically beautiful women. But after hypnosis, he sees only inner beauty and falls in love with the obese Rosemary.
    Gwyneth played the physical ideal seen only by Hal, and wore a bodysuit for her performance as the plus-size character Rosemary.

      Gwyneth Paltrow's 'The Goop Lab' Series Branded 'Misleading' by NHS Chief

      U.K.’s National Health Service Executive Simon Stevens believes the actress’ new Netflix show is putting fans’ health at risk by promoting unfounded health claims.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Gwyneth Paltrow’s new Netflix show has been slammed by the head of Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) for putting fans’ health at risk by promoting unfounded health claims.
      Paltrow expanded her wellness brand Goop’s reach into streaming TV with the release of her “The Goop Lab” series this month, which features the star and colleagues at the firm exploring alternative therapies for physical and mental ailments.
      However, according to the BBC, NHS Chief Executive Simon Stevens has accused the show of spreading “misinformation.”
      “Her brand peddles psychic vampire repellent, says chemical sunscreen is a bad idea, and promotes colonic irrigation and DIY coffee enema machines, despite them carrying considerable risks to health,” Stevens said at an academic event on Thursday, January 30.
      A spokeswoman for Goop told the BBC show and brand were “transparent when we cover emerging topics that may be unsupported by science or may be in early stages of review.”
      And representatives of Netflix pointed out when contacted by WENN, the show opens with a medical disclaimer.
      “The following series is designed to entertain and inform — not provide medical advice,” the advice card reads. “You should always consult your doctor when it comes to your personal health or before you start any treatment.”
      Stevens took aim at the “dubious wellness products and dodgy procedures” featured in The Goop Lab as part of a wider trend of misleading internet health advice.
      “Myths and misinformation have been put on steroids by the availability of misleading claims online,” he said. “While the term ‘fake news’ makes most people think about politics, people’s natural concern for their health, and particularly about that of their loved ones, makes this particularly fertile ground for quacks, charlatans and cranks.”

      In 2018, Goop agreed to pay $145,000 (£112,000) for making “unscientific claims” about “vaginal eggs” it was selling after facing legal from officials at California’s consumer protection office.
