Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

With Gwyneth Paltrow and her lifestyle website Goop’s track record of wellness advice, you’d be forgiven for questioning whether they really meant some of it.

For example, advocating herbal vaginal steaming, a smoothie recipe containing an ingredient called “sex dust”, getting stung by bees for a beauty regime and instructions on how to yawn properly have either all appeared on Goop or been direct comments from Paltrow.

However, the one thing fans chose to question Paltrow on in a Q&A on the website recently was her declaration to Jonathan Ross in 2012 that she would rather “smoke crack” than eat spray cheese from a can.

For a health guru, smoking crack seems to be pretty unhealthy so this was an understandable question. However, the Shakespeare in Love actress affirms that, yes, she did really mean it.

In response to the fan who wrote, “Would you still rather smoke crack than eat cheese out of a can?”, Paltrow replied: “Hell yes. You know, crack might be extreme, but spray cheese is not my kind of party.”
