Beyonce Taking Lessons In Sanctimony From Gwyneth Paltrow
September 22, 2011 by Hollywoodite
Beyonce has been spending too much time with friend Gwyneth Paltrow learning how to pontificate on the joys of motherhood in the most condescending tones possible. Because they’re the first, last, and only women ever to be pregnant properly, women who are child-free or sub-par mothers who know the score already are getting lessons in having – in the words of Louis C.K – a baby “fall out of your vagina and step on your dreams.”
Pregnancy affected her sense of smell: “My nose, I smell everything from a mile away. Usually it is food, it is onions or something that I just can’t tolerate.”
On her fragrance: “I always meet strong, powerful women and they always have a signature scent,” the 30-year-old said. “That is one of the first things I was so proud of. I thought about Diamonds and Elizabeth Taylor and all these icons, so I am so proud of this.”
The scent is about empowerment: “I just enjoy being a woman and especially right now, I just feel so empowered. I think that is sort of my place in the world, for people to see that you can be an entrepreneur. You can have goals and dreams and you can grow and be strong and have your strong opinions, and all of these things bring that out in you.”
Pregnancy is empowering: “Absolutely. It is the most powerful creation for you to be able to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift, nothing more empowering.”
What’s next for Bey: “Balance. I am still working on balance and still growing. I am starting my company, my label. I want to create a boy band. I want to continue to produce and do documentaries and music videos. I eventually want to start directing for other artists. Once I know that I have my stuff together and I trust that, I can do it for other artists. I see so many male artists building these empires and passing their knowledge on to other artists and development. I see myself doing the same thing and hopefully other younger artists when they grow up and they have been around for 15, 20 years, they can do the same thing.”
Motherhood advice: “I have the best examples around me because my sister is the most incredible mother. My mother, I am so proud of her. I see her and I could cry every time I think about her because she is such an incredible woman, so I just pray that I have the same bond with my children, child.”
Will the baby go everywhere with Beyonce? “Yes, I will probably be that way. I am sure I will. I think that it shouldn’t stop you. I think of course my life is going to change, and I definitely will make sacrifices, but you know, I think I will be able to bring hopefully my little rider with me.”
Pregnancy style: “I think I have been trying to find things that of course are flattering to the silhouette. I think a woman’s curves when she is pregnant are so beautiful. I don’t want to get matronly, and I still find things that are sensual and feminine and funky. I have been mixing different textures and suit jackets and blazers. I don’t want to be in the same dress every day.” – via The AP/ WaPo, Celebitchy.
She’s REALLY spending too much time with Paltrow, right? We already had to suffer GOOP declaring the life of child-free women worthless and empty because they’ve never pushed out a kid. Because screw the reproductive rights of grown women. GOOP and BOOP demand you get knocked-up because their chorus of sanctimony is too quiet with just the two of them.
