Fashion: Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow by Terry Richardson for Harper’s Bazaar magazine

I love Gwyneth Paltrow. Her high society remarks are hilarious in a well-intentioned way. She has lived a very high society life, and I find it interesting to observe someone who lives in the upper echelons of society. I definitely admire her career success, lifestyle and family life.

Plus, she was in The Royal Tenenbaums, which is like the best movie ever.

These shots are from her recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. And holy shit, does she have a great body. I need to go to yoga more often.

She’s also relaunching her lifestyle website, GOOP, that will include city guides of big international cities and new applications.

Read Gwyneth’s entire article at Harper’s Bazaar. She is wearing Alexander McQueen, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci and Anthony Vaccarello.

First it was Harry, Hermione and Ron, the loves of our courageous, childhood souls…

Then it was Jacob, Bella and Edward to fulfill some weirdo teen relationship fantasies we all had…

And now it’s Katniss, Gale and Peeta fighting for their lives, families and the future of humanity.

Wow. Can you imagine carting that around in your purse? Cue hipsters: "Do you have a phone jack? I need to call someone." Photo via mashable.com

 The first iPhone was actually made in 1983 as a landline with a touchscreen. It was designed by Hartmut Esslinger who also played a hand in constructing Apple’s first portable computer. NEAT!

Ugh, the Grammys. They may be the absolute worst awards ceremony ever, due to it being more of a popularity contest than a talent contest. Except for that one time Arcade Fire awesomely won Album of the Year, sending Twitter Bieber fans into a tween-high-fructose-corn-syrup rage.

What the fuck IS the difference between Song and Record of the Year?? This is the shit I'm talking about, the awards aren't even clear! Photo via Twitter

Anyways, Midwest faves Bon Iver are nominated for 4 awards including Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Alternative Album. It’s always exciting to be nominated for things. Plus, my friend has hung out in Justin Vernon’s kitchen, and has petted his cat. Yep, I’m connected.

Also, it’s fun to root for anyone who wasn’t fist-pumped to on last season’s Jersey Shore.

Here’s a commercial promoting the 54th Grammys using Bon Iver’s “Holocene” to some aesthetically pleasing leaves, trees and wind.

Listen: AlunaGeorge remixes Lana Del Rey’s “Born to Die”

Lana Del Rey is certainly a hot topic these days. The frenzy surrounding Lana Del Rey’s authenticity is an age old story really, because everything pop culture-big is coated in corporate lipgloss before it’s sent to make the monies. Truth.

It’s true, her album has been described as “a multiple choice test with every answer scanned “C.” and “music [that] doesn’t communicate actual feeling.” Ouch. However, it seems that critics have fallen on deaf ears, as her album Born to Die is number 1 in 11 countries.

I’ll admit that I can’t get “Video Games” out of my head. It is the best song to sing in your car. Trust me. Sometimes we like “B” things, and that’s okay man. Guilty or not, pleasures are pleasures.

If you’re already jonesin’ for remixes of her album, or have no idea who I’m talking about, take a gander at this amazing remix of her title track “Born to Die” by AlunaGeorge.
