Gwyneth Paltrow was on Conan O'Brien's fourth Tonight Show last night, and typically, she showed off her toned stems (thanks, Iron Man 2 preparation) by wearing a scrap of wisp of a dress. But while she attempted to dazzle the world with her wit and child-rearing tips (give 'em beer and Jay-Z -- really), bloggers and Twitter-ers were instead dazzled by her unnaturally shiny legs. She was wearing sequins and her legs still had more sheen and blinding sparkle than her dress, for God's sake. Was there baby oil involved? Was she sweating? Or is her skin just naturally as taut, pale and smooth as one of those windshield reflector thingies?
Taking the fall, of course, is GOOP -- Paltrow's holistic-lifestyle brand and blog, already a target for its soothingly PC vibes. A sampling of this morning's headlines:
