Sometimes pop culture can be deeply disturbing. On Entertainment Tonight tonight, Gwyneth Paltrow was discussing wearing a 300-pound fat suit in her next movie, “Shallow Hal.” It chilled me to the bone to hear tiny, bony-pretty Paltrow say that she was so glad she could be part of a project that was all about “people being proud of themselves and who they are, no matter how they look.” Lots of shots of Gwynnie’s actual 300-pound body double, said to be similarly thrilled, although she didn’t say that on camera, of course. No shots of Paltrow in the suit – don’t want to freak people out, after all. Actually put on the pounds, then we’ll talk. Some people can’t shed their sub-par appearances so easily, Gwyneth.
