What Was Kate Bosworth Doing In GOOP's Newsletter?

Thumbnail image for gwyneth-chris-martin-kate-bosworth-seperate-pics.jpgI knew there was something... off about Gwyneth Paltrow's recent GOOP newsletter. Could it be that she claims to eat meat? Yes, that had something to do with it. This dyed-in-the wool macrobiotic dieter wouldn't let a cow touch her lips if her life depended on it. However, there was something else niggling in the back of my brain, but I dismissed it - as I often do with all things Annoying Paltrow. And then I read this awesome post from Lainey and, thanks to her, all the pieces fell into place. Details, via Lainey Gossip

[As you know, Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney are tight. OF COURSE she had to feature the McCartney Family's project. Of course she did. But she had to swallow some sh-t in the process. You will note - Kate Bosworth is in the photo, that starving desperate homewrecking hag who called herself a friend of the GOOPs. And Gwyneth had to include the photo. Does this mean the cheating allegations, Chris Martin kissing Kate Bosworth at a U2 concert in October, does this mean it was all just a tabloid fraud? That nothing happened. Please.
You must consider the dates.



The official launch event for Meat Free Monday when this photo was taken was on June 15, 2009 FOUR MONTHS BEFORE the infidelity report broke. If this photo had been taken 2 weeks ago, sure, I'd be all doubty about it too. But it's over 6 months old. And it happens to be the group shot promoting Meat Free Monday wants to use. Which means editorially Gwyneth had no choice. It's not like she could crop it. Kate was in, like, every image trying to make herself relevant. And G had to please McCartney. She chose to please McCartney over satisfying her own grudge. But she was raised for this. She was born to it. She was taught to consider the bigger picture, to consider associations, to nurture connections for future favours and long term benefits before hasty emotional decisions, to always save face, to never let them see you hurting. It stings, yes, but she made her decision. They are moving ahead. They are buying more houses and mashing them all together. They are perfect on the outside. 



Oh and by the way? While Chris Martin announced that he'd be suing, legal action still has not actually been taken against Star Magazine for the cheating story.]

Click on the GOOP link above for the Meat Free Monday photos. Jesus! Kate Fuckin' Bosworth gets the top spot in the GOOP newsletter! There are two theories as to why: one is Lainey's, which has Gwyn taking the high road for the sake of saving her face and promoting the McCartney's cause. The second is my thought: by having a photo of Bosworth on Paltrow's very public newsletter is Gwyneth's way of proving that no infidelity took place. Why would a wife run a picture of her husband's alleged mistress on her blog; if not to look like she's refuting rumors? Funny - I was just thinking about the state of Kate the other day when I was writing about her former costar, Jim Sturgess. I briefly thought about her alleged fling with Chris Martin - and then the thought went away. I didn't put two and two together. Math is hard! Goddamn - it took a lollipop with a head to make Paltrow's newsletter interesting. This is almost as fun as Gwyneth's very obvious Winona Ryder slam...
