Gwyneth Loses The Short Skirts And Hooker Heels For Au Naturel 'GQ' Shoot
Posted by Molly Friedman at 4:10 AM on May 14, 2008
As we've been noting throughout Gwyneth Paltrow's incredibly successful campaign to rack up attention during her Iron Man press tour, her wardrobe has been just this side of trampy. In the last few weeks, transparent dresses (but they're designer!), S&M shoes (eccentric!), and clavicle accented jumpsuits have all been pulled out of the twice-retired actress' bag of tricks. But now that we've seen just what lies inside the June issue of British GQ, we think this sexy train has reached its final destination. Yes, Gwyneth has dropped trou, but listening to her tell it, it's just not that big of a deal, okay?
Paltrow states she isn't trying to court controversy with the new photo, insisting it's just an innocent shot. The mother-of-two says, "I'm not going out without my knickers, and I'm not getting drunk and I'm not on my eighth husband."
While we do appreciate her usage of "knickers" in a British glossy, we feel obligated to point out that her statement just isn't entirely true.
While Gwyneth does admittedly look far sexier than we've ever seen her, and sure, a thirtysomething actress posing nude is not as big of a deal as it is when her much younger counterparts like Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus do it, we're still a bit confused by her repeated public attacks on those of us who tend to enjoy a bit of drink now and then: "I think it's gross. I really don't like drunk women...I think they're the idiot people and I'm the normal person." But Gwyneth, aren't we forgetting those two separate occasions when you were not only spotted sipping Grandpa's lemonade, but drinking it while pregnant? You know, glass houses and all.

Is the measure of a good actress how many back ribs you can count? If so, sorry Gwynny! Miley totes wins!

This is turning into one hell of a career makeover push. What do you think, Defamerites? Sale or no sale?

Gwyneth Paltrow has always been one of those girls who looks just amazing in the right light. Especially the Shallow Hal and Great Expectations one-sheets...and I'll drink to that.

@Shumina:
No sale.
1) Ass still not counter-balanced properly by an at least minimally proportional rack.
2) Scary fucking dead eyes.

So in Gwynnie's world going out without underpants on is worse than posing nude for a men's mag? Oh...it's British GQ? Nevermind.

Honey, just face it. You're bored, and frankly, it shows. Why don't just retire to the countryside and raise your kids. You can't need the cash.

She's raised the starlet sad-middle aged-cry-for-attention-validation bar. Gauntlet thrown, Winona.

This looks exactly like a photo she did years ago - I think it was in Allure magazine. I remember her on a talk show saying she shouldn't have trusted the French photographer who told her he was only shooting her above the waist.

Now see, this photograph would have been much better for her "I Am Africa" campaign.
