Gwyneth Paltrow Blasts 'Sexist' Biography, Defends Goop's Culture

In the past two days, several high-profile entertainment figures have made headlines with their reactions to recent events. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has spoken out against an unauthorized biography about her, titled "Gwyneth: The Biography," which was published in July. Paltrow did not participate in the book, but it drew from over 200 interviews with people who know or have worked with her.

Paltrow told British Vogue that the biography "totally missed everything, the truth of who I am, what my impact is." Her husband, Brad Falchuk, read the book and described it as "really badly written." Paltrow also felt the book was "very sexist," questioning why male public figures get biographies from acclaimed writers like Walter Isaacson while she received one from what she called "this hack."

Separately, actress Zoe Saldaña has urged director James Cameron to create a documentary about the use of motion capture in filmmaking. Saldaña, who has starred in Cameron's "Avatar" films, believes motion capture is the "most empowering form of acting" and wants to "give us a chance to explain" its significance.

Additionally, Paltrow addressed allegations that her company Goop has a "toxic culture." She strongly denied this, saying Goop has "never had that" and that they have a "good culture" with "really engaged, really brilliant, highly collaborative teams." Paltrow acknowledged that Goop has had "a couple of toxic people" in the past, and she takes responsibility for not dealing with those issues quickly enough, but maintains the overall company culture is positive.
