Paltrow Cheese

The Hebrew spelling of Gwyneth Old English name looks remarkably close to the word for cheese. A super organic cheese that she probably would not touch, because dairy is evil. It is unclear how it came about that Paltrow commands such schadenfreude from the public at large – but at least for me, her hauteur and general air of ‘better than thou’ is grating. And while I can make the usual noises about the welfare of the children, the divorce announcement of Paltrow and elevator crooner Chris Martin made me laugh.

Here it is, in full glory.

Conscious Uncoupling

It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate. We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate. We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.

Love,
Gwyneth & Chris

Well, what I have seen of divorce aint’  that pretty, bathed in a sepia light on a meadow. But maybe money insulates…
