She's No Cover Girl
Filed under: Media Minute > Gwyneth Paltrow
Do fashionistas find her obnoxious and annoying too?????
According to a new report, the May issue of Vogue with Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover is the mag's worst seller of the year so far.
It only sold 310,000 newsstand copies.
Vogue averages around 450,000 copies sold at newsstand per issue.
What was it about this Gwyneth cover that didn't resonate with people???
Is it her??? The picture??? All of the above???

you're commenting on this NOW because?????
No one wants to pay $5 for a magazine during this economic downfall.
Why?
She looks fine !
It's the curse of Sean Avery.
because the bitch is so pretentious and snooty. snob and a half
That picture!
All of the above. Plus Vogue sucks.
She looks weird in this picture- and what is she leaning on? A mask?
She's a bitch
perez ur a fat cunt who could never be on vogue so suck it!!
dfgdg
8th.
She looks great!
WOO HOO
It might just be me but I like Gwyneth and I have never understood people's dislike of her. I didn't buy this issue but I also don't read Vogue so I have no answer for you Perez.
she's an annoying snob! she's bland too!!!
perhaps the economy . . . I know I gave up magazines and Starbucks. Magazines are too damned expensive anyway, when it only takes 10 minutes to read them (skipping all the ads of course).
perez. you're nothing but a cuban maricon who knows nothing about fashion. keep hating on Gwyneth, she's a fashion icon and will be on many more covers. nobody cares what you think. and people don't really buy magazines these days you fool.
She's so goddamn obnoxious and high on herself. Who wants to read about her? Also, she always looks like she's trying too hard.
all of the above. I am not interested in her
It's cuz she's FUCKING UGLY!!!!! I would rather fuck a old smelly trash bag full of trash than fuck that skin and bones photoshoped freak! And WTF iz her arm doing on Ironman's head? I just want to kick her in the face w/ steel toed boots and poop in her cuts! I've always hated her
Really Perez, what is it that you have against Gwynnie? she's talented, intelligent, she is a hands-on Mum and has a rockstar for a husband. Are you a little disappointed she hasn't been seen without her knickers or coked off her tits like all the rest of the trollops you report on. Where is the love, get off her case.
that pic is DISTURBING
Maybe it's because gas is hovering around $4/gallon and people need to buy gas more than they do some stupid mag?
BECAUSE SHE LOOKS WEIRD AND FAKE!
ewww she is so retouched, she looks like she have a plastic body, just like a barbie
People arent buying it because it looks like the cover of a home and garden mag with the petty articles. People want high fashion when they want vogue not trashy cosmo.
It is the American economy
people dont wanna buy it cuz shes on it, obvi
why oh why did you delete my comment? It wuz hardly bad U silly goose!
it could be insane gas prices…shiiit
she's a vapid cunt, so not surprised at all.
It's all of the retouching to make her look like less of a cold bitch.
It's completely unrealistic. Everyone knows she has no soul.
i guess promoting iron man wasn't enough…kathy giffin is so funny when she talks about her
Maybe the fact that she hates America and never passes an opportunity to bash the U.S.A.
Their July issue isn't anything to write home about either - very thin - and I'm not talking about the models.
Perhaps it's because people are deciding between gasoline and feeding their families. Plus if someone's going to splurge on a $5 fashion/beauty magazine, they want it to be for someone who is beautiful. I've never understood all the fuss surrounding Gwyneth Paltrow's looks. Put her in librarian clothes and she'd fit right in at the local elementary school shelving "Cat in the Hat". BORING.
ALL OF THE ABOVE AND A LITTLE BITCHY ATTITUDE SHE GOT ON HER SHOULDER.
The picture looks like shit. Very photoshopped. Is that the best Vogue can do for the cover.
she is a pretentious bitch who thinks her shit does not stink
Re: fgirl – Cheap
She is sooo 1998.
This is 2008.
I don't know, because I love Gwyneth.
photoshop bs!!!!!!!!!
She looks too edited! It doesnt even looks like her, she looks like Heidi Montag!
I think she looks great! Maybe the articles weren't appealing. The choose your parents article was coverd by Marie Clare LAST summer!!
Re: ugh – Get a life you loser! And he didn't even delete it! It's still there, see, #22, thats you
It's because she's creepy, crying in the shower kind of creepy.
worst photoshop ever
It's the economy. If I don't have my Venti Latte from Starbucks, I don't wanna sit and read Vogue. Plus, Gwyneth looks like that annoying Julia chick from 'Lost' in this photo, which is enough to make me hurl. By the way, anyone else notice how the Photoshopista made her head WAY to big for her body.
When someone hasn't been in a decent movie for years, has all but told America to FUCK OFF , and really doesn't have anything to say, it makes for a boring magazine.
…could it be that people don't want to shell out the equivalent of a gallon of gas for a magazine right now?
first off, she appears really photoshopped and second off, her cover story sounds really boring. in addition, all the other cover stories sound too boring for vogue. overall, it seems like there's nothing special about this issue. i wouldn't buy it. i'd prefer to BORROW it from a friend.
Because she´s weird. An does not seem fun at all.
Look at her face!!!! Is that a face of a magazine cover?? I DON´T THINK SO.
She´s boring.
I disliked her since she stole the role for Shakeaspeare in Love from her what was a close friend…. Ryder…. I do agree sales are way down on everything that is not vital… aka a 4 dollar coffee.. when you could have one for free at the office..
Did you read it??? It was at my salon so I picked it up and couldn't believe it. I never thought much about her one way or the other, but I was STUNNED at her arrogance and assholism– even by Hollywood standards. She went on and on about her "people" (I swear to God), and how said "people" won't let her eat sushi and how she won't loan her "people" to Madonna because she steals them (big surprise there) and how hard it is to be a mom but how truly spectacular it is , as she parades the interviewer through her kitchen to ask little Peach and Abraham what they did all day while their nanny feeds them what is undoubtedly an inedible macrobiotic dinner. And it ends with her fascination that her kids don't know what a HUGE STAR she is yet. Yes, Gwynnie. Fascinating.
Yeah yeah I know she was in Ironman. My bad. But next to Robert Downey Jr, anyone is pretty fucking forgettable. Wish Vogue had had him on the cover. Then I could have wet myself over it.
stop blocking my ip address jerk. you hypocrite. if you hate perez please go to perezrevenge dot com. stop supporting this pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.) The magazine costs too much and the contents are not even worth a dollar
2.) The picture is not Gwynneth - it is a facsimile - the photoshopping makes her inrecognizable.
3.) Gwynneth Paltrow is probably nice but she is not that interesting
4.) I quit buying magazines - I buy GAS
that picture's awful!!
She's a pretentious, self-important cunt- and no one can stand her.
Americans especially loathe her for shitting on our country.
Why any glossy magazines still put her on the cover is beyond me. She not particularly a pretty girl. Very plain, in fact. It takes a lot of make up and photoshopping to make her presentable.
Didn't she move to England, cause it's better there. We think she's better there too!
She's elitist, and in this economy that does not resonate in the heart of Americans. Also, she has stated on various occasions that she prefers dinner conversation in the UK moreso than in New York. Yeah, that's going to sell Vogue in the States. Also, she's on the old end of young.
Maybe they didn't recognize her - heavy on the photoshop.
She's a bitch
It's her. Just like you said Perez, she doesn't resonate with me. There's nothing remotely relate-able or likable about her!
She just looks weird there, they airbrushed her far too much. No-one really looks like that so how can anyone relate to her?
hahaha so funny i hope she already knows that she was the worst seller of the year hahaha
p.s. i love it when people hate on perez, and say they dont give a $h*t about his opinion - you clearly do, fool, or you wouldnt be on his website. haha get smart.
It's not surprisng that no one like Gwyneth Paltrow - SHE'S NOT LIKEABLE!
The stories on the front aren't exactly ones that make you want to read the mag, either.
Its the picture…not Gwyneth. It looks too photoshopped, too dressed up, too much body. A clear close up, with straight lines, sleek blond hair, a more updated look…would have done better I think. I feel like its 14th century or something!
She is a self-centered, elitist bitch, and so is her husband. I am not surprised people don't want to read about her or see her fahion shoots.
As an art director for a magazine I say that it is the art director's fault!
Look at the blooming cover! IT SUCKS BIG TIME - Comes off amateurish, boring, uncreative, unspectacular etc…
VOGUE FIRE YOU GUY/S IMMEDIATELY - OR perhaps they intensionally did this because they dislike miss paltrow hahahhahahahaha
It cracks me up with pampered celebrities like Gwyneth go on and on about juggling career and family. She should try working an honest 40 hours a week, and then go home and be a real mom day-in and day-out. A real working mom doesn't have "people" to cook, clean, wash her kids and do her shopping. Give me a break - she "simplifies" her life by hiring people to do anything and everything. Gee, wouldn't that be nice…
