Dear Gwyneth Paltrow: Ever Hear of Brooklyn? [and Fuck You]. Love, The Daily News
Daym, Daily News!
Now granted, Gwyneth is:
* Friends with Madonna = v. annoying
* Has a daughter named Apple = v. annoying
* Has a new website called GOOP where she "shares" all her best secrets and "nourishes your inner aspect" (whatever the fuck that means) = v.v. annoying
However, in this particular case, I'm not sure a frothy glass of haterade is *really* warranted, NYDN.
They are all up in Gwynnie's bizness just because she didn't give a shoutout to any BK spots in her latest roundup of her fave NY restaurants and hotels.
Now, look: obvs we love Brooklyn around here (209 Reasons...let us count the ways), but also we write a blog that is almost exclusively about one little nabe in Brooklyn. There's lots of interesting stuff going on Bed Stuy, Flatbush, Brooklyn Heights, etc, but that's just not our jam. Does that mean that these nabes are any less important/interesting/compelling than ours? YES NO.
Gwyneth's list IS a total joke...but not because she left Brooklyn out. It's retarded because it was basically an excuse for her to list every single restaurant Mario Batali ever took a shit in without ever mentioning that she and Mario are BFF's, did a TV show together, and are business partners. The rest of the list is basically a "top 10 of crunchy/organic boring, everyone has heard of em" places that she probably swiped off of the Food Co-Op's website. Also, she doesn't eat!
Snooze.
It was kinda fun to see NYDN get all hot and bothered over Gwynnie (emphasis ours):
"She's apparently unfamiliar with a little something at the base of Manhattan . . . called the Brooklyn Bridge.
News flash, Gwyn: New York doesn't start at the Bowery and end at Barney Greengrass on the upper West Side.
It's got five boroughs - each boasting treasures as fantastic as the Gramercy Tavern."
We just didn't assume that because of the BK omission, she was saying she hoped we got AIDS and died. We assumed it was because she was a stupid cunt.
Guess we got Goop'd.

Seriously, who the f-ck names their blog GOOP anyway? And is anyone surprised she isn't aware of anything outside of Manhattan? I'm not.
I would GOOP in her uterus, thereby 'nourishing' her 'inner aspect'.
