Three G's: Gwyneth, Goop and Grammy

February 10, 2009

I’m becoming a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s not that I didn’t admire the quality of her work before. More like I never really thought about it.

First, I started to love her on Mario Batali’s Spain… On the Road Again. It reminded me of days touring around Italy with friends. This is a TV road trip with Gwyneth along for the ride, not as an actor, but as a modern American woman with a developed culinary palette who also happens to be very cool and eats her way through Spain.

Red Carpet Jewelry: Dripping in Diamonds at the Grammy's

Yiddish Stage Comedy was pretty hilarious, or at least as Grandma remembered. One of my favorites jokes, or Jewish folk tales, if you will, is Mrs. Rabinowitz Goes to the Portrait Painter.

"Mr. Painter," Mrs. Rabinowitz asks, "I want you to paint me dripping in jewels."
"I want a diamond tiara on my head. I want earrings as big as hummingbirds and bursting with rubies. I want a necklace like Marie Antoinette. Huge rings on every finger. A diamond bracelet with my diamond watch and don't forget a big brooch with every stone in it!"
