Is she saying inappropriate things on purpose? She is comparing negative feedback about herself to war.

Well, at least she's not comparing her medical access/treatment to that received by those using the VA.

She has no idea what real life among the people is all about. Her arrogance is astounding.

Coming from a childhood with successful actor/director parents and spending her own adult life in the industry how can she possibly understand how hard ""real life"" can really be. She is a fruit loop.

I think she's just inarticulate, undereducated and and feels that she's superior to the average person and that she has something to contribute. She doesn't speak well, so things don't come out the way she intended. I see it as sad more than anything else. She's a privileged little rich girl who only had to be pretty, blond and connected to "succeed". But she aged out of that. She's never been much of an actress. She's too old to compete with the Jennifer Lawrences and not talented enough to compete with the Angelina Jolies. Jennifer Anniston has a lock on the 40 year old romantic comedy parts. So, she's trying to be a .... well.... I don't know what. Life expert? She just doesn't understand how ridiculous she is.

I think this is very perceptive and well said.

Doesn't she have a blog called "Goop"?

Good name for it, although "Cr-ap" might be a bit better.

I work with a woman who reads that thing every day and often tells me about G's latest pearls of wisdom.

A couple weeks ago I responded with "I think she's an idiot".

No more Goop regurgitation for me!

Kitty ROFL! This is so funny. I can just picture that.

You mean Poop!

You would think these celebs would learn to not make these comparisons. Now it's being reported that in an interview when Charlize Theron was asked if she googles herself, she said doesn't do that because when you do that you start feeling raped. Just incredibly stupid statements these people make and they have to know they're going to be splashed all over the internet. Maybe it's just a way to make sure their names stay out there.

She's a self-absorbed moron. Gwen has an air about her...like she thinks she's at the top, & others can't compare. Blech. Stay in the UK, Gwen- they can have you.

This pretentious bore again. I feel sorry for her kids to have to listen to her vapid commentary every day.

When a vacuous celebrity compares a minor annoyance in her life to what is suffered by soldiers in combat, she is dissing the military because she's saying the two are therefore equal. My God, what a huge ego to go with that tiny brain! What she said was not "taken out of context".

Here is the full quote:

“You come across [online comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing. It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it,” she said. “My hope is, as we get out of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience.”
