Gwyneth Paltrow took her head out of her own ass long enough to sing the praises of her personal trainer, Tracy Anderson on her newsletter, Goop.

“Many of you may already know of my passion for the Tracy Anderson Method and my investment in it. She has kicked my formerly sagging ass  into shape and I will be forever grateful. This week, Tracy shares with us a little arm series that I did everyday preparing for Iron Man and that I take on the road. She just made it home-made style for me, lo fi. But it’s good. Especially for the batwing problem. Also, some of her dedicated clients talk about why they love her as much as I do. She has some brand new DVD’s that I have been doing in my hotel room on location and which I highly recommend.”

Goop is Gywn’s way of sharing her fountain of information with the common masses (meaning all of us).  It’s unintentionally hysterical.  Recipes, health and wellness advice, name dropping and pretention are pretty much what it’s all about, as is pushing various goods and services she has a vested interest in (and may or may not get for free in exchange for singing their praises). 

Moving on…

Tracy Anderson was also Madonna’s trainer, until she fell out of favor with her last year amid much rumour and speculation.  Apparently, good trainer aside, Tracy is something of a shady character.  People wondered if Gwyneth would follow the Big M’s lead and can Tracy as well, but she obviously kept her on.  Does this mean that Gwyn is on the outs with the Big M now too? 

Gwyneth also seems to have recommended Tracy to her ex-boyfriend’s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, and her pal Courtney Cox.  Looks like Tracy is trying to increase her client base through celebrity testimonials via Gwyn’s Goop.  Maybe her investment runs deeper than toning batwings and a sagging ass.
