Gwyneth Paltrow Talks About Her Old BFF- Winona Ryder

Gwyneth Paltrow: Back in the day, I had a “frenemy” who, as it turned out, was pretty hellbent on taking me down. This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deept upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restained myself from fihting back. I tried to take the high road. But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and… happiness. There went the high road. So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don’t like? Or someone you DO like? Or someone you don’t KNOW? I once asked the editor of a tabloid newspaper why all of the stories about a famous British couple had a negative bent. He said that when the headline was positive, the paper didn’t sell. Why is that? What’s wrong with us? I asked the sages to shed a little light.

Here’s to washing our mouths out with soap…

Love,
Gwyneth

Who are the sages? Are they those really old gross looking men on top of a tower in the middle of no where? Do you remember them in the Gladiator? hah. Gwyneth, we like people to make us feel better about ourselves. We are in a world of reflections instead of introspection. For example, I know I’m probably not doing as well as you are on a macrobiotic diet. In fact, I think that diet would kill me so more power to you. On the other hand, Lindsay Lohan makes me look like a saint. This is how I sleep at night. It’s all about karma too..it may not be today or a year from now but karma bites back hard! Karma also has a sense of humor!
