Gwyneth Paltrow covers the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, on newsstands Thursday.

“Any time you do anything with any degree of sincerity, people make fun of you,” she says in the magazine. “That’s totally fine. I don’t care. I don’t read any of it. My thing with Goop has always been, if you don’t like it, then don’t log onto it. There were a couple of times when I thought, ‘I’m just gonna stop doing it. People are so mean to me. I don’t want to do it.’ But then I was like, ‘Who cares what some lame person out there says?’ I was in Italy once, and this old man came up to me and said, ‘I had the best time in Nashville because of Goop.’ And that is so worth it to me.”

Paltrow says people are nicer in England, where she lives with her husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and two children, Apple, 6, and Moses, 4.

“In England, people are cool,” she says. “They’re really laid back and calm. Beyonce did the school run with me once, and everyone was fine. They also have really good anti-paparazzi rules. If you’re driving in a car and they make you feel freaked out, that’s against the law. They can’t put you in a magazine unless they pixelate the kids’ faces. I miss America, but I love living in the UK.”

What else does Gwyneth love? Beyonce!

“Beyonce is the most talented human being on the planet. She has so much mastery over what she does. It’s not even confidence – it’s on a whole other level. It’s mind-blowing. I watched her (perform) a lot to see how she did it, and I was like ‘Shit! I can’t do that!’”

How does Gwyneth Paltrow start the new year? By doing a 21-day cleanse, of course! In her weekly GOOP-Newsletter, she brags about the cleanse with the help of Dr. Junger.

I have gooped about Dr Alejandro Junger’s Clean program before because it gave me such spectacular results; it is really just the thing if you are in need of a good detox -wanting some mental clarity and to drop a few pounds. Especially for us, Dr. Junger has created some amazing bonus material, a treasure trove of recipes for a 21-Day Elimination Diet and a three-day cleanse for those of us who want to start with a mini (although I cannot recommend the 21-day version enough). Here’s to a happy liver and an amazing 2011!

Love,

For only $425, you can order the cleanse yourself! Dr. Junger gives the following advice on his cleanse:

From Dr. Alejandro Junger:

“Becoming healthy is the most common New Year’s Resolution for a good reason. It is one of the core resolutions which all other resolutions depend on. Without vibrant health and wellness, how can we begin to really enjoy life to its fullest?

After much trial and error I discovered a plan that works and I’ve called it the Clean Program. The Clean Program is a proven plan that thousands have followed to achieve vibrant health. I’ve outlined three variations of the Clean Program here and my hope is that one of the three fits your 2011 health goals.

Each plan is supported by the incredible online community at My Clean Program. This is a place where anyone can ask questions, get tips and share their journey. The purpose of the community is to help keep members inspired and accountable.

With a proven plan and a supportive community, you’ll have the tools to turn your 2011 health resolution into a personal revolution.”

Here’s to your health in this wonderful new year,
Alejandro Junger M.D.

Winter has arrived in New York, and Gwyneth is not too happy about it. She writes in her GOOP newsletter:

“I don’t know how it is where all of you are, but I am freezing my ass off. I will be relying heavily on my cozy winter boots to get me through to spring, however far off it may seem. Here are some of my favorites.

Love,
gp”

Gwyneth goes on to recommend winter boots, such as mou’s Antelope Cowboy boot, for $543.

“My kids and I all have pairs of their hand-stitched Eskimo boots and I’m loving their shaggier models, like this pair that I bought a few months ago,” she writes.

Another pick: good friend Stella McCartney’s over-the-knee faux-suede boot for $625, which Gwyneth wears over leggings or jeans.

For those on a budget, Gwyneth thoughtfully offers an alternative to her $1,095 Burberry Prorsum shearling booties. Topshop’s knockoff can be yours for $190.

Gwyneth Paltrow knows that in Hollywood, relationships don’t always last.

“A long-term relationship between two people is an ever-evolving organism,” she writes in her GOOP newsletter on Thursday. “Some stay the course, some fall, all stumble.”

The actress — who was engaged to Brad Pitt and dated Ben Affleck before marrying her husband of five years, rocker Chris Martin — then says she “asked a few very wise women, most of whom are in varying forms of longtime partnerships, for their insights.”

One expert Paltrow sought for tips? Monica Berg, a spiritual teacher and creative director at L.A.’s Kabbalah Center, of which the 36-year-old star is a follower.

“There are no stable marriages. There may be happy ones, but not stable ones,” Berg explains. “Either we are growing forward or falling backwards. This is true in all areas of our life … which is why I believe nurturing relationships is so important. We owe it to ourselves and those we love not to settle for mediocrity in any way, and instead to nurture and allow our relationships to become the source of joy, support and love that they were intended to be.”

In her latest GOOP newsletter, she reveals that “back in the day, I had a ‘frenemy’ who, as it turned out, was pretty hell-bent on taking me down.”

“This person really did what they could to hurt me. I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous. I restrained myself from fighting back. I tried to take the high road,” she continues.

“But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person,” writes Paltrow. “My reaction was deep relief and…happiness. There went the high road.”

Justjared suggests she could be referring to Winona Ryder, who was arrested in 2001 for shoplifting an estimated $4,760 worth of clothes from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.

Paltrow signs off by asking, “So, why does it feel so good to hear something bad about someone you don’t like? Or someone you DO like? Or someone you don’t KNOW?”

So she asked a tabloid newspaper editor “why all of the stories about a famous British couple had a negative bent.”

“He said that when the headline was positive, the paper didn’t sell,” Paltrow continues. “Why is that? What’s wrong with us? I asked the sages to shed a little light. Here’s to washing our mouths out with soap… Love, Gwyneth.”
