Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Summit Guests Outraged
Yesterday, we took you inside the first United Kingdom summit for Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop. Attendees shelled out thousands just to attend the wellness weekend… and some of them don’t think they got enough bang for their buck.
Guests have come forward anonymously to Page Six to express outrage of the event, one even calling Paltrow a “greedy extortionist.” Apparently, the actress skipped out on most of the activities, except for panel discussions with Twiggy and Penelope Cruz, and was “unapproachable” due to all her security.
A rep for the actress says that’s not true, and that they got nothing but positive feedback about the event. And when it comes to the price tag, a Goop rep says the weekend was valued at over $8,000 because of all the freebies (like golden facials and “far-infrared gemstone therapy”) rather than the $5,700 or so guests paid.

Brad Pitt Is "Curious" About the Future with Streaming, But Leonardo DiCaprio Says "Dark Ages" Are Coming
BRAD PITT and LEONARDO DICAPRIO were asked about the emergence of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu . . . and Brad seems a LOT more open to it than Leo is.
Brad said, quote, "I'm curious to see what the future of [movies] is, what shape it takes. I really appreciate the streaming services because we're seeing more and more quality projects being made . . .
"More writers and directors and actors getting a shot. It just tells you how many talented people are out there . . . I like to think there's room for both. But I could be a dinosaur and not even know it. And the comet could be on the way."
Leo isn't so sure. He said Hollywood's "studio system" is broken again, and corporations have taken over the "artistic vein." That's why so much talent is moving to streaming services . . . so they can do creative stuff that wouldn't otherwise be in theaters or on TV.
But that's created a, quote, "overflow of content, [so] there's a lot of garbage out there." He says truly original moviemaking is becoming an "endangered species," and that he warns, quote, "some dark ages coming up."
