She's No Cover Girl

ichat-image4192046278.jpeg

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???

      I never really understood all the buzz surrounding her persona. She is boring as hell and I can't stand her as an actress. She is just the same in all the movies - that Oscar she won 10 years should have gone to Kate Blanchett.

      Maybe it is becuase
      a) people dont give a shit
      b) the head-to-rest-of-body ratio freaked them out
      c) people don't want to pay $5 for a magazine, when they could probably read it online for free.

      I feel like vogue is hit or miss for me and while this cover was nothing spectacular in my opinion I think the real problem and this is true for most magazines during the summer is that they remain the same price but they are about half of their winter size. I thought people were supposed to slim down for the summer season not their reading.

      It is so obviously airbrushed, and it doesn't even make her look good. She is much prettier in real life - here she looks like an alien

      Vivian Leigh was hot in 'Gone with the Wind'. She was beautiful & interesting to look at. So were Liz Taylor & Grace Kelly. Nice to look at. Seeing Gwyneth, I'd rather look at myself in the mirror. Her family got her in. Now we all KNOW who she is. Plain Jane, nothing special. & yes, she does have ugly breasts. Just another thing about her which says WE DESERVE SOMETHING BETTER TO LOOK AT!

      Re: honey – If YOU think she is beautiful, you must be one ugly assed mofo, and your family, too.

      Sssshhh. She doesn't know she's ugly. With all the request in mags over the years, why would she? But I believe deep down she knows, deep down that she is not really ugly, just rather PLAIN.

      Worst photo of anyone. The body has so much air brushing it looks unnatural. Her head looks detached from the body. It looks like they pasted her face onto a head of blonde hair, then attached the head to a body that is to small. Must be the same art dept that stuck Oprah's head on someone else's body. Think it was TV guide

      She's beautiful! but no one gives a damn about her anymore. what was the last movie she played in? I know I don't remember!

      Re: heath – I believe because the majority of us are better structurally than her, in face & body. Plain Jane, Paltrow is & the people who try to convince us that she is not need to swing on the end of a short rope.

      Madonna gave her the kiss of death….jk

      Funny I never buy Vogue and I bought that issue. Not for her though, the gown sold it.

      it was both. i didnt like the cover at all but i get my mags for free
      so no worries here

      no surprise there.
      it looks like her head is floating awkwardly in front of a barbie doll body.
      "i simplify everything"..ugh what does she even do? when was the last flick she was in? i hope she's doing a shit load of charity work that she doesn't advertise to everyone because she's doing it for the humanity and not the fame. a woman so financially comfortable with 2 kids and a successful husband is hardly a reason i chose to pick up a mag. she has a wonderful body of work with some notable performances…when she's done playing wifey maybe she'll pursue further career endeavours. until then she should just enjoy her kids and money and dedicate spare time to helping the less fortunate instead of posing sadly in vogue. and, as perez points out all the time, her style is so booriiing.

      Is it just me…or does that picture look like they took Gwyneth's head and pasted it on another body? It looks weirdly out of proportion!!
