Man I hope his 3rd grade math teacher isnt alive to see this. If they were, this probably would have been lethally embarassing
If we wanna be real precise, she isn't claiming she popularized yoga, she's claiming she commercialized yoga, that she inspired a market of California white ladies who go to studios and pay for yoga class. Which: maybe fair.
I would kill a man to know if this story actually happened or if she just thought up a good quip after the fact and since she's her she can say it to media instead of just thinking about it in the shower the next morning.

That's only if you assume she doesn't go around deliberately putting herself into ego driving situations. It would be like me going into game stores, staring intently at a box of a game I've worked on and waiting for a bored clerk to finally say something...
A shitload of girls are into hot yoga. This is a, max, 5 year old phenomenon. No idea if she helped popularized it, but whoever it was certainly had a lot on impact on how popular yoga is right now.
Stupid people claim many things. No exception here. She's a big fraud, in us fraud it's like shaking hands.
Has Paltrow always been an asshole? Or is this a last few years development? I don't remember her being so high and mighty ten years ago.

You know, while it's written like every piece of mathematical reasoning done by people who don't know much about math (lots of appeals to equilibrium, etc.) usually most of the ones I've seen are by people who know how adding and subtracting works. This is impressive, in a way
Obviously it's nonsense but she has made it a bit more popular and she does wield a surprising amount of power and influence over some of my girl friends. They're all sorta post-ironic about it and joke about the jade eggs etc, but they still read Goop and buy shit.
Likes?? You wouldn't have your FUCKING JOB if it wasn't for Gwennyth Paltro's farts
I love reading this from time to time.
The amount of work put into a completely incorrect premise just makes it hilarious every time.
Way more fun to read Terrance trying to be smart than to read about Gwen's latest entrance into the jackass competition.
In the west? I dont know enough to say otherwise. I am sure it was a celebrity that made it mainstream.
Holy fuck I genuinely burst out laughing.

Exactly, the problem is that he doesnt seem to be able to comprehend the possibility that addition and multiplication aren't the same thing. That's like, stuff you learn with the alphabet. I can cut him a little slack for labeling three different instances of the same number with different variables, but not + vs x
I thought yoga got popular because of that SNL skit where Will Ferrell was finally able to kiss his own knob. Silly me.
If it weren't for the snake oil and general bullshittery she hawks and profits from, I'd say that's a bit strong.
Hmm? Pepper Potts is a fictional character, who Paltrow is in real life has no bearing on that. Why would you lose respect for a fictional character based on what the actress who played her does? Unless you mean you lost respect for Paltrow. Although I still don't see why any of this would affect you so deeply as it relates to Pepper
Yoga entered the West through the hippie movement in the 60s, and became mainstream through a lot of little developments from a ton of people that saw commercial opportunity in the practice.
Companies like Gaiam, Yoga Journal, lululemon, etc. and individuals that commercialized their specific practices had a bigger impact than any one celebrity.
Because each time that I see her on screen I would instantly think of coffee enemas
I claim this with sushi fwiw. I got terrorized in the early 90's when I fell in love with sushi. We're probably both wrong.
Pepper Potts is one of my favorite characters from the MCU, I love her. But I find those statements kinda stupid
I'm sure it was tongue and cheek and I doubt she would have actually told the front desk receptionist that.
