Gwyneth Paltrow reveals she is eating only Chick-Fil-A!
– Reported – October, 15 2013
Gwyneth Paltrow is turning 41 soon and tells Chelsea Handler that because her husband Chris Martin threw her so many parties last year that she’s toning it down a bit this year, offering up an endorsement that may make her equality-minded foodie followers gasp.
“This year it’s Chick-fil-A. That’s it.”
Ms. Paltrow was on “Chelsea Lately” earlier this week speaking with her good friend Chelsea Handler to promote her new sex addiction romantic comedy, “Thanks For Sharing,” but it seems like she shared a little too much when she revealed her plans for her upcoming 41st birthday.
What does she plan to do? Binge on food from anti-gay fast food chain.
Gwyneth Kate Paltrow Martin is an American actress, singer, and food writer. She made her acting debut on stage in 1990 and started appearing in films in 1991. After appearing in several films throughout the decade, Paltrow gained early notice for her work in films such as Seven and Emma (in which she played the title role). Following the films Sliding Doors and A Perfect Murde , Paltrow garnered worldwide recognition through her performance in Shakespeare in Love , for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress, a Golden Globe Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, for Outstanding Lead Actress and as a member of the Outstanding Cast. She also won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series in 2011 for her role as Holly Holliday on the Fox hit TV show Glee in the episode “The Substitute”. In April 2013, Gwyneth was named “Most Beautiful Woman” by People Magazine.
Paltrow has portrayed supporting as well as lead roles in films such as The Talented Mr. Ripley , The Royal Tenenbaums , Shallow Hal , and Proof , for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress in Motion Picture Drama. Since 2008 she has portrayed Pepper Potts, the love interest of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in Iron Man , Iron Man 2 , The Avengers , and Iron Man 3 . Paltrow has been the face of Estée Lauder’s Pleasures perfume since 2005.
She is married to Chris Martin, the lead vocalist of Coldplay. They have two children together, Apple and Moses. She is also the face of American fashion brand Coach, owner of the lifestyle company Goop.com and author of two cookbooks: My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness, and It’s All Good.
In 2008, she appeared in the superhero film Iron Man as Pepper Potts, Tony Stark’s personal assistant, closest friend, and budding love interest. Iron Man was Paltrow’s highest-grossing film to date, earning more than $585,000,000 worldwide, until she reprised her role as Potts in Joss Whedon’s 2012 epic, The Avengers, which grossed more than $1 billion worldwide . Paltrow said she was hesitant to appear in a big-budget project but she was won over by Robert Downey, Jr., the film’s lead, and director Jon Favreau. She recalled a conversation with Downey, saying:
Robert called me and he said, ‘This is gonna be fun, and this is gonna be good.’ And then he said to me, ‘Don’t you want to be in a movie that people see?’ And I was like, ‘Whoa! What would that feel like?’ And he’s right. Moviemaking is not supposed to be a masturbatory exercise; it’s supposed to be shared by other people.
In 2010, Paltrow reprised her role in the sequel to Iron Man, Iron Man 2. Later in 2010, she appeared in the musical Country Strong and recorded the song Country Strong for the film’s soundtrack. The song was released to country radio in August 2010. At the 83rd Academy Awards, Paltrow performed another song from the movie, “Coming Home,” which was nominated for Best Original Song. She also appeared in Fox’s Glee, as substitute teacher Holly Holliday, who fills in for Matthew Morrison’s character when he falls ill. In her first episode, “The Substitute,” she sang “Nowadays” from the musical Chicago with Lea Michele, Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You”, and a mash-up of “Singin’ In the Rain” and Rihanna’s “Umbrella” with Morrison and the rest of the cast. She later performed “Forget You” with Cee Lo Green himself and several puppet characters provided by The Jim Henson Company at the 2011 Grammy Awards. She reprised her role twice more that season, performing “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)” by Gary Glitter, an acoustic version of “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac, “Kiss” by Prince, and Adele’s “Turning Tables”. In 2011, Paltrow appeared in the Steven Soderbergh thriller Contagion, in which she was part of an ensemble cast, including Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and her The Talented Mr. Ripley co-stars Matt Damon and Jude Law. The movie opened at number 1 at the US Box Office Weekend and received positive reviews. In 2012 she stars in the independent romantic comedy Thanks for Sharing with Mark Ruffalo and reprised her role as Pepper Potts in the film The Avengers, which broke records as the highest grossing U.S. opening weekend film of all time. It was confirmed that Paltrow will star as Dora Maar in Carlos Saura’s Spanish film 33 días alongside Antonio Banderas as Pablo Picasso. The film begins shooting in late 2012, for a 2013 release.
Now, now, before you start burning your VHS copies of “Shakespeare In Love,” Paltrow has been through a lot lately and maybe her questionable answer is the result of being frazzled while trying to keep up with Handler’s witty banter. As she discusses during her interview, Paltrow recently moved back to LA after a decade-long stint in London (she’d better be careful on her new Vespa!), so maybe it’s stress from the intercontinental move.
We’re sure Gwyneth does not want to be thought of as hobknobbin’ with not-so-LGBT-friendly Chick-Fil-A devotees like Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin.
You do you, Gwyneth… just don’t eat those anti-gay waffle fries while doin’ it — and promise to think next time before you endorse a fast food chain that has such a terrible track record when it comes to LGBT people.
