So just light your
calming vagina candle.
It's Watch What Happens Live
with Gwyneth Paltrow, now.
♪ Andy Cohen's
got the 4-1-1 ♪
♪ king king
of midnight fun ♪
[cheers and applause]
- Hey, everybody.
- Welcome to - Watch What Happens Live.
- I am your host Andy Cohen - in the Bravo Clubhouse
For a show that's guaranteed
to consciously, uncouple you
from your Thursday blahs.
My guest tonight is an
Academy Award winning actress
and lifestyle guru
who puts her heart and soul
- and maybe some other - body parts, too,
Into every single product
she makes.
Her new docuseries
"Sex, Love and Goop"
is out now on Netflix.
Please welcome
Gwyneth Paltrow!
Hey, Gwyneth!
- Hi!
- Great to see you.
I mean, you look...
- Thanks for having me.
- You look like - a million dollar bill.
You look kind of
award show ready.
I have to tell you.
- I got hair and makeup - for you.
- Honestly! - I did the whole thing.
- Thank you.
Well drinking game alert,
Gwyneth will not know it,
but anytime you hear
anyone say this word,
if you're 21 or over,
- drink until you release - a candle
That smells like regret.
By the way, today is
GLAAD Spirit Day,
and I'm going purple
to show solidarity
with LGBTQ youth
who disproportionately
face bullying and harassment,
simply because of who they are.
For more information
on how you can get involved,
go to GLAAD.org/spiritday.
You know, Gwyneth,
I have to tell you,
we've never asked you this.
- You've been on - the show before,
And every time you come on,
we get this question for you,
and that's because your name
was notoriously dropped
during Season 3
of a very famous episode
of the Real Housewives
of New York City
on Scary Island.
- I just want you to watch - this clip and tell me
If any of this
makes sense to you,
or you know who
Kelly Bensimon is,
or any of this.
Just watch and tell me.
- I'm just saying, - you got yourself in the paper.
- No, I never went - to the press.
Why would I spend my time
to put Kelly in the paper?
- What about when - you attacked, Gwyneth,
- My friend Gwyneth. - Who is Gwyneth?
- Paltrow.
- I feel like you're trying - to kill me every night...
- Go to sleep!
Go to sleep!
You're crazy!
- Okay, so now,
the question, so...
The allegation is that
Bethenny Frankel
attacked you,
and that you are good buddies
with Kelly Bensimon.
- Do either of these - resonate with you
On any level?
- No. - All right.
There you go!
We're-we're...
That's all I needed
to know. Thank you!
You know, Gwyneth,
your head ended up in a box
at the end of Seven,
but your new sex and romance
docuseries
is gonna have everyone
thinking outside of their box.
And since no sex topic
is off limits,
my love challenged staff
has anonymously submitted
a slew of sex questions
that we are dying
for your help on, okay.
I would, uh,
I would do it myself,
but that would be
a major HR issue.
So let me start,
Diedre wants to know
if gifting your partner
a threesome
for a special occasion
is a fun way to mix things up
or a recipe for disaster,
what do you think?
- I'm leaning towards - disaster.
- Leaning towards disaster.
Ok... yeah, it's a very...
It's a-it's a house of cards.
- Like I get the...
I get the thought,
- but then I'm just quickly - playing out the whole thing.
- Yes. - Maybe not.
- Okay, so,
Rocco submits,
what is a gentle way
of telling someone
that they're way too vanilla
in bed to hold your interest?
- Maybe start the conversation
with a positive.
Like, wow, you are
so great looking.
Have you ever
thought about...
- Yes, start with - a compliment.
- Okay, I like that! - Start with a compliment.
- Okay. Um... So what...
Talia said,
what's a good getaway
scenario I can use
- to ease my introverted - boyfriend
Into the idea
of role play.
Gateway scenario.
- I mean, it seems like - a lot of these are about
Opening up the lines
of communication
with your lover.
- Yeah, I was just gonna - say that.
I think, um, probably
the best thing to do
is to have a good,
honest conversation
and say something like,
you know, um,
I've always had kind of
a thought about doing this,
- for example, like, - is this something
You would be willing
to talk through with me?
Is this something you'd be
willing to do with me?
- Just make it very gentle - and like make it a safe space
To have the conversation.
- Yes. - Now, here's a question.
You make a lot of, um,
pleasure-oriented products.
And, what do you do
if say,
your vibrator makes you
orgasm way more
than your partner does?
- How do you ensure - that your partner
Can match
the level of quality
- that you're getting - from the toy?
- I don't think that's like, - on the top of the list
Of women's complaints.
- Okay. All right!
- Is it?
- Well, I don't know,
I just wondered.
- Well, aren't just more
orgasms better all around?
- Yeah.
The more orgasms, the better.
By the way, did you ever...
Isn't it incredible
- when you look at - what an empire you've built,
And what a voice
you've been...
Become about sex.
I mean, when you were
studying acting
and acting for so many years,
did you ever imagine
that this is where you would
wind up in your journey.
- Well, it's interesting.
You know, I-I really...
- You know, I'm-I'm very - into wellness
And this idea
that we can all do...
Take small steps to really
improve the way that we feel
and the kind of quality
of the relationships we have,
etcetera.
- And it kind of came to me - in the last couple of years,
That like, sexual wellness
is a really important pillar
in overall wellness,
- and it's something that people - are embarrassed to talk about.
Um, and we really want to
kinda break down that shame
around sexuality and-and-and
have the conversations,
so that other people feel,
you know, free to be curious
and ask questions as well.
- Sex positivity.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Um, is it okay to tell
someone you love them
after only a couple weeks
of dating them, do you think?
- If you're telling someone - you love them
After only a couple of weeks,
then I would probably caution
that it's a projection
more than you actually love
the actual person
- because you can't really - know somebody
Until you've been in it
for a minute,
- And really understand - all the facets...
- You love the idea of it.
- Yes. - Exactly.
- Um, tell me this... - Which can be dangerous,
- And it can make you think - that you love someone
- That maybe isn't - the right person for you, too,
- I've noticed. - Right.
- We've all seen - that story play out.
- Tell me where you - stand on this.
Is sexting with someone
outside your relationship
cheating if there's never
any physical contact?
- Definitely.
- Interesting.
- All right, thank you, - Gwyneth Paltrow.
- [cheers and applause] - That's...
This is good info.
Now Gwyneth starred
in "The Politician",
- but she's about to face - every politician's biggest fear,
Being forced
to take hard positions
on important issues
totally on the spot.
Gwyneth Paltrow,
it's time to play
"1, 2, Agree or Disagree"
- I'm gonna make - 10 bold statements
And countdown from three.
- Gwyneth, you will tell us - where you stand
- On each one - by holding up
Your agree or disagree sign.
Okay, very good,
I love it.
Okay, Gwyneth, is it high time
we fully free the nipple?
One, two,
agree or disagree?
I had a feeling
you would feel that.
- If you were a celebrity, - you should never
Take the risk of sending
your partner nudes.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
Agree.
Even if your face
is chopped off?
- Rut-roh. - Never.
- Okay, um, love at first sight
is a load of B.S.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
Disagree.
Jokes on those
who poked fun
- at the phrase - "conscious uncoupling"
Back in the day
because it has proven
to be a genius concept.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
[cheers]
I do too.
Did you trademark it?
- No.
- Damn.
I mean, is there money
to be made in it?
- I don't think so. - I don't know.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, there are no
flip... film roles
that I regret
turning down.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
Any that come to mind?
- Yes, but my mother - would kill me if I said,
- So I'm not allowed. - It's not-It's not considered
- Polite as an actress - to talk about
Roles that someone else got,
is that the idea?
- Yes, exactly.
- Thank you, Blythe Danner.
When I catch myself on TV,
I always stop to watch
even for a minute.
- One, two, - agree or disagree?
- If I'm really honest.
- Ah, I love you, yes.
Um, the movie...
- Just a minute.
- Woul... one or two minutes. - One or two minutes.
The movie "Contagion"
turned out to be
so accurate, it's freaky.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
- Yeah, she predicted it, - everybody.
Um, I have been guilty
of telling a friend
I love their movie
or TV show
even though... even when
I had never seen it.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
All right, good for you.
- I am guilty... - No, I try not to do that.
- You're good that way.
You check it all out.
- Yeah. - Yeah, or I say,
- "I'm so sorry, I haven't - had time to see it yet.
- "I can't wait." - Ah, okay.
I am guilty of
having not worn pants
while doing press tour
interviews from home.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
Yes!
Gwyneth Paltrow,
are you wearing pants?
[applause]
Yay!
Uh, last question,
you're never too old
to post a thirst trap.
One, two,
agree or disagree?
- Wait, can... what is - a thirst trap again?
- Someone just taught me... - A thirst trap is
- When you post a picture - of yourself that's...
I mean, Kim Kardashian...
The Kardashians,
their oeuvre
is thirst traps.
It's like sexy pictures
of yourself.
- Hmm, so you're never
too old to post
a thirst trap.
- Yes, right, yes.
- Ooh, help me out, guys.
- Well, I mean...
- You're never too old? - You know what Martha Stewart...
- Well. - You're never too old.
- Never too old.
- [cheers] - There you go.
- When we come back, - more with Gwyneth Paltrow.
- Here's who's on the show - this week.
We'll be right back.
[cheers and applause]
- You know, you guys
are showing
an incredible amount
of bravery
and-and courageousness
because, you know,
this is a particularly
vulnerable subject.
- It's not only, uh, just
an incredible bravery
for you to show up
with each other.
We will discuss things
- that you might have never - said to your partner.
And that's really,
really wild
- when that happens - in a relationship.
- It's really great
that you guys did this,
and we're excited
to be a part of this.
- That was a clip of
"Sex, Love & Goop"
- available now on NetFleeks. - NetFleeks?
- From this week's guest, - Gwyneth Paltrow.
It's NetFleeks.
- Welcome back to - "Watch What Happens Live".
- I'm Andy Cohen - in the Bravo clubhouse.
- Drinking game reminder: - any time you hear this word,
In honor of Gwyneth's
goop vibrator,
drink until you're buzzing.
It's on NetFleeks,
right, Gwyneth?
[giggling]
- That's the one.
- Yeah, that's what it... - It's actually.
It's actually NetFleex.
- NetFleex, yes.
- Go all the way.
- By the way, - what's the number...?
Is there... Did you
have an aha moment
hosting the show,
where you were like,
"Wow, this is something
that I absolutely never knew?"
- I don't know if I had
a moment of, like,
"Wow, I never knew this,"
but it just
really reinforced...
- I mean, I was... - That had a lot of
- Really surprising moments - in the show
In terms of the level
of vulnerability
that people came with,
and, like, the things
that they try and admit.
- And, like... - And then it's so beautiful,
Because it really gets them
somewhere as couples.
It was-it was amazing.
- That's cool.
Um, let's go to
the virtual fans.
- Steven and Chris - from Boca Raton,
What's your question
for Gwyneth Paltrow?
Hey, guys.
- Hey Andy, hey Gwyneth. - Hey Andy, hey Gwyneth.
Gwyneth, since you
do it so well,
- what do you think - is the biggest secret
To being friends with
an ex's significant other?
- Um, that's
a great question.
I think
the best thing to do
- is to keep - in the forefront
Why you loved them
in the first place.
So, like, if they're really
funny or, you know,
- if they're a great parent - or whatever,
Just-just stay on
the positive side.
Like, keep loving them for,
uh, all of their great parts
and-and focus on that.
- That's good. - That's very evolved.
I love that.
Thanks, virtual fans.
[cheers and applause]
Um, Gwyneth, Chris A.
Wants to know,
what's your biggest Goop
regret of all time?
We know about all
the huge sellers.
Is there something that
you've put out or-or, um,
- gotten behind - that you think,
- "Oh, maybe we shouldn't - have done that?
"Or that was not
the right area for us?"
- That's a good question.
I'm trying to think.
I mean, we definitely have
had things that have been
- less successful - than other things.
I'm just trying to think
of, like, um, areas that
we were... well,
we-we tried to do...
- We did a men's collection - once and it was...
- It was okay, - but it wasn't like
Gangbusters enough
that we kept doing it.
- By the way, I got - your gift bag and I love it,
- So thank you for that. - All right.
- Yeah. Um, Gwyn, Maria C.
Wants to know,
are three-wick candles better
than one-wick candles?
- This is a debate that's - raging furiously
On Bravo right now.
Thoughts?
- Oh, really?
Um, I'm...
- I know, - it's-it's absurd.
- I like... really?
- Yeah.
- That's such a fascinating - thing to have a debate about.
Um, I'm equal
opportunity wick.
- Yes! Yes.
Um, Gwyneth, um, Gwelago
tweeted, are the rumors true
that you are returning
as Pepper Potts
in the upcoming Marvel
series "Armor Wars"?
- Not that I know of.
- Um, Amanda Cross tweeted,
what would you say is
your absolute must have facial
treatment or regiment?
- Uh, Goop Glow microderm...
Microdermabrasion.
- Goop Glow
microdermabrasion.
- And that's like a product - you use...
- It's like a microderm - facial thing, yes,
- And it's exfoliating - and it's amazing
- And it makes your skin - so good.
- And do you use that daily?
- I use it daily.
It says on the box to only use
it three times a week, but...
- There you go.
All right, well, last time
- Gwyneth Paltrow - was on this show
I put her in the hot seat
for Plead The Fifth,
but what I'm about to do
now might have her saying,
"Goops, I did it again."
Because, Gwyneth Paltrow,
the time has come for you to
Plead The Fifth, round two.
- Here we go. - I have three questions,
You may plead the fifth
to only one.
Gwyneth Paltrow, rank the three
"Iron Man" films in order
from your favorite
to least favorite.
- One, three, two.
- Okay.
What was your reaction when
you heard Glenn Close
last year tell a journalist,
uh, that she thought
Fernanda Montenegro
should've won
the Best Actress
Oscar in 1999?
- I just heard this - from you, Andy.
I never heard about this.
- What's your reaction?
It's a lot to process.
Um, you can plead
the fifth, by the way.
- Well, I guess I have - to 'cause I don't
Know enough about it,
so I plead the fifth.
- Okay, in 2014, Martha Stewart
wrote an article on
consciously coupled desserts
and very soon after
Goop featured a recipe
for a Jailbird Cake.
Was Goop trolling Martha Stewart
with the cake recipe
or did we make this up?
- Yes.
- Very... thanks for
playing Plead The Fifth.
- After the break, more - with Gwyneth Paltrow
- And her special - "Watch What Happens Live.".
We'll be right back.
♪ Be right back B-R-B ♪
♪ AC in the NYC ♪
♪ NYC ♪
- All right, - welcome back to
"Watch What
Happens Live."
I am Andy here
with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Gwyneth, um, how many
episodes did you make
of the new Netflix show?
- There are six episodes
of the Netflix show.
- Netflix, excellent.
Uh, LadyBlueLady wants
to know, what is the most
valuable advice that
your mom ever gave you?
- Um, so many good things.
Probably, you know, my mom
really gave me permission
to, like, embrace
my femininity,
so music, art, poetry.
Um, she gave me my love
of-of all of those things.
- Nice. - Uh, Riley F. wants to know
- If it's true - that your daughter, Apple,
Has not seen any
of your movies yet.
- And if you had your pick, - which one would you wanna
Show her first?
- She has not seen me
in a movie and...
- Wow!
- Um, probably...
- I think she would like - "The Royal Tenenbaums."
- That's what I would - show her.
- Really? Wow!
How old is she?
- Seventeen. - Oh, okay.
All right, um...
- She's three, you know,
I think it's good...
- Perfect.
- To see me chain smoking - and make out
With 100 people, yeah.
- Right.
Um, and talk to me about...
I mean, was... that was
obviously a very conscious
decision on your part
not to show her any of
your films, but I mean,
at this point is she,
like, "I'm good, mom.
"I don't need
to see them?"
- I think I never, like, did
or didn't show them myself
in a film, but I just
sort of didn't.
And then, I think now
they think it's kinda weird,
- you know? - Like, they like me
Kind of in jeans,
making them snacks.
- Like, they think that whole - famous part of me is sort of
Weird and I don't think
they're that into it.
- That hil... - That's amazing.
Okay, it is time for
Watch What Happens Five.
In addition to possibly
smelling like a vagina,
Gwyneth sold out Goop candle
also smells like
a million dollar idea,
- so I thought I'd spark - everyone's interest
In my forthcoming
candle empire as I countdown
the top five Bravo-scented
candles we wish we could buy.
- Number five candle is a perfect - scent for special occasions
- Like Camille's - second wedding.
It's Marijuana
by Mauricio.
- And if you wanna buy - our number four candle
- You just have to wait for it - to drop in September.
That is spring-summer,
September spring-summer.
It's She by She Smells Good
by Sheree Whitfield.
Our next candle is at
least five stories of fun.
It's Townhouse
by Sonja Morgan.
That's number three.
- Our number two candle scent - was concocted in
The finest porcelain bowls
this side of Paramus.
It's Eau de Jennifer's
16 Toilettes.
- And you're gonna wanna - own our number one
Bravo candle stat.
It's Hospital
Smell by Mary M. Cosby.
These are all still in
the discovery phase,
- so the number - of wicks is TBD.
- I know you didn't understand - any of that, Gwyneth,
But I thank you
for standing by.
- I wanna thank Gwyneth Paltrow - for being here.
- The word of - the night was sexy.
We said it 11 times.
