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.
