NEW YORK (AP) — Pornographic deepfake images of Taylor Swift are circulating online, making the singer the most famous victim of a scourge that tech platforms and anti-abuse groups have struggled to fix. Sexually explicit and abusive fake images of Swift began circulating widely this week on the social media platform X. The deepfake-detecting group Reality Defender said it tracked a deluge of nonconsensual pornographic material depicting Swift, particularly on X. Some images also made their way to Meta-owned Facebook and other social media platforms. “The images may be fake, but their impacts are very real," Morelle said in a statement.

It’s not your average Christmas love story. But here goes: “She’s the Goop-founding, door-sliding, Shakespeare-in-loving, consciously-uncoupling Hollywood superstar. In 2016, they went skiing.”That’s how the production company Awkward Productions is introducing its new musical “Gwyneth Goes Skiing,” about Gwyneth Paltrow’s trial over a skiing accident, set to run at the Pleasance Theater in London this December. Far from a classic West End musical, the show is a comedy featuring original songs by Leland, a singer songwriter who has worked with stars including Selena Gomez. Set in a small venue, the show will be 90 minutes.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s company Goop currently carries a $785 Jillian Dempsey lip-gloss locket, a $28,250 tennis necklace by Sophie Bille Brahe and a gold-plated Lelo vibrator that costs $15,000. The lifestyle brand isn’t known for its affordability. But Paltrow is trying to change that. Last month, she launched a more modestly priced line called Good.clean.goop. Carried by Target and Amazon, it includes 10 skin- and body-care products and four chewy supplements, all priced between $19.99 and $39.99.

“Careful!” Gwyneth Paltrow called to her daughter, Apple Martin, who was walking in black Gucci heels down a stone path on the family’s property in Amagansett, N.Y. It was a muggy, overcast Saturday night, and nearby, the actress Blythe Danner, Ms. Paltrow’s mother, mingled as guests arrived for the tented, 46-person dinner near the trampoline and treehouse in the manicured yard. The stylist Rachel Zoe said she was just focused on being on time as she was getting ready: “Gwyneth is very punctual, and if she is like, sitting at 7, it is 7, maybe even 6:59.”The dinner was hosted by Ms. Paltrow and her stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, and the occasion was the release of a new Goop serum and a Gucci summer collection. Attendees included Jimmy Fallon, Jodie Comer, Cleo Wade, Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld, and Dr. Julius Few, a plastic surgeon who worked on the new product.

Closing arguments are expected to begin Thursday in a civil trial involving actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow and a retired optometrist she collided with on a Utah ski slope in 2016. Terry Sanderson , 76 years old, sued Ms. Paltrow in 2019, alleging she rammed into him while they were both skiing at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Mr. Sanderson has said Ms. Paltrow left him with a brain injury, four broken ribs and other serious afflictions.

CNN —There is no battle of the Brads in Gwyneth Paltrow’s life. The actress talked about how her husband of four years, Brad Falchuk feels about her friendship with her ex-fiancé, Brad Pitt during a recent interview with “Entertainment Tonight.”“My husband is probably like the least judgmental, most secure man in our relationship, so I think he totally respects [the friendship],” Paltrow said. It’s not the first time Paltrow has talked about her relationship with her ex. In June she published a chat with Pitt on her Goop site in which she joked with him, “I finally found the Brad I was supposed to marry. It just took me 20 years.”“And it’s lovely to have you as a friend now,” Pitt said.

Kanye West’s breakup with Gap Inc. reflects a broader trend of celebrities seeking more control over the brands they create or back. But in this instance, Mr. Shabelman said the friction between Mr. West and Gap fits into a larger development in the world of celebrity marketing. Mr. West “doesn’t need those corporations,” said Anjali S. Bal, an associate professor of marketing at Babson College. Mr. West formally notified Gap on Thursday that his Yeezy LLC fashion brand was terminating his partnership with the apparel chain. More recently, tennis champion Naomi Osaka last year began a media company called Hana Kuma in partnership with SpringHill Co., an entertainment firm co-founded by LeBron James.

☆ Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop must stop making bogus claims about its $66 'vaginal eggs' because of a legal settlement. Here's the real science.

A "vaginal egg" will not balance your hormones, regulate your menstrual cycle, or help with bladder control. On Tuesday, Goop settled a lawsuit brought by the Santa Clara District Attorney’s office and others that alleged the company's claims about its "vaginal eggs" were hogwash. Candace Lowry/YoutubeThe statement added: "Goop provides a forum for practitioners to present their views and experiences with various products like the jade egg. I need to start my jade egg practice," she said with a laugh. Jen Gunter, a California-based obstetrician and gynecologist, wrote a widely cited blog post in 2017 about why Goop's vaginal jade eggs are a bad idea.
