As Hollywood grows more out-of-touch with the American public–more degenerate, more narcissistic, more silicone-injected–laughing at all the dumb things celebrities say has become a national pasttime. Gwyneth Paltrow, in particular, provides an endless stream of pompous bloviating. The same woman who said she’d rather smoke crack than eat inexpensive cheese also believes that water has feelings.
Listen to this pseudo-scientific drivel. (She claims her “scientist friend” told her all this. By scientist, is she sure she doesn’t mean “my Tantric Yoga instructor?”)
“I am fascinated by the growing science behind the energy of consciousness and its effects on matter,” she wrote on her website GOOP. “I have long had Dr Emoto’s coffee table book on how negativity changes the structure of water, how the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it.”
Her scientist friend Dr. Habib Sadeghi described an experiment where “Emoto poured pure water into vials labelled with negative phrases like ‘I hate you’ or ‘Fear’. After 24 hours, the water was frozen, and no longer crystallised under the microscope: It yielded grey, misshapen clumps instead of beautiful lace-like crystals.”…In contrast, he wrote water labeled “’I love you’ or ‘Peace’” produced “gleaming, perfectly hexagonal crystals.”
I would be content to merely point and laugh if pseudo-scientific beliefs promoted by celebrities didn’t have real-life consequences for the rest of us. Just look at Jenny McCarthy’s crusade against childhood vaccines.
Anyway, she said this mere days after comparing celebrities mocked on Twitter to American soldiers at war. Geez, Gwyneth, at least space out your idiotic utterings a little!
