‘What happened?': Star's new video shocks fans
Just call her Gwyneth Poutrow.
Fans were left bewildered at Gwyneth Paltrow's fuller-looking upper lip.
The Goop founder's facial features looked noticeably different in a cooking video she posted to her Instagram on the weekend.
In the clip, Paltrow was seen with poutier lips while preparing her version of Korean steak and eggs.
'Made with love, a little heat, and packed with flavour,' she wrote in the caption of the post.

Gwyneth Paltrow's latest cooking video had viewers gossiping about her appearance in the comment section.
While some Instagram users complimented the actress' skills in the kitchen, others flooded the comments section with questions about her seemingly altered appearance.
'What have you done on your lips?' one curious person asked, with another inquiring, 'Is there something with her lips?'
'Something happened to her top lip,' a social media user commented.
'I really wish she'd be honest about the work she's had recently because she sells anti-ageing products,' one person wrote. 'She looks amazing but like be honest. Especially when that's what your brand is all about.'
'Mmmmm looks so yum. But don't tell me you've done your lips too,' added another.
One troll even joked that she has 'Marge Simpson lips.'
With a noticeably poutier lip in the video …
… Gwyneth as fans are used to seeing her.
Others jumped to Paltrow's defence and shut down the trolls commenting on her physical attributes.
'What's with all the negative comments? Scroll along if you can't handle what you see. And if you don't have anything kind to say, don't say anything. Just move on,' one person commented.
'There's a lot of jealousy. Comments about lips, looks etc are not meaningful in my honest opinion,' another said.
Paltrow's rep did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
The star, 52, has been candid about getting cosmetic procedures in the past.
In 2021, Paltrow shared that she uses Xeomin, an anti-wrinkle injectable, to accomplish her youthful glow.
The lifestyle queen has been open about getting cosmetic procedures in the past.
'By getting injectables, it's like admitting a vulnerability. I think sometimes honesty is perceived to be a weakness,' she told Harper's Bazaar at the time, adding, 'There does seem to be a lot of stigma around injections.'
The lifestyle guru, who said that the injectables aided in making her 'look less pissed off,' admitted to trying Botox in the past, though she hated the results.
'It was a disaster. I didn't do anything else for a long, long time. I was bruised, my forehead was completely frozen, and I didn't look like myself at all,' she said.
She also copped to getting a Thermage laser treatment, sharing in 2013, 'I would do it again, because I feel like it took five years off my face.'

Jamie Lee Curtis: I am a controlled addict
Jamie Lee Curtis considers herself to be a "controlled addict". The 66-year-old actress is a recovering alcoholic, but Jamie insists that she's always retained some degree of control over her life, even when she was at her lowest ebb. The Hollywood star told the Guardian newspaper: "I am a controlled addict. "In recovery we talk about how, in order to start recovering, you have to hit what you call a 'bottom'. You have to crash and burn, lose yourself and your family and your job and your resources in order to know that the way you were living didn't work. I refer to myself as an Everest bottom; I am the highest bottom I know. "When I acknowledged my lack of control, I was in a very controlled state. I lost none of the external aspects of my life. "The only thing I had lost was my own sense of myself and self-esteem." Asked whether her success disguised the seriousness of her addiction troubles, Jamie replied: "There's no one way to be an addict or an alcoholic. People hide things – I was lucky, and I am ambitious, and so I never let that self-medication get in the way of my ambition or work or creativity. It never bled through. No one would ever have said that had been an issue for me." Jamie admits that her addiction caused a lot of damage to herself and the people around her. However, the actress insists that she's moved on from that period of her life, describing herself as "an old lady now". She said: "The external costs are awful for people; but the internal costs are more sinister and deadly, because to understand that you are powerless over something other than your own mind and creativity is something. But that was a long time ago. I'm an old lady now." In February, Jamie took to social media to celebrate 26 years of sobriety. She wrote on Instagram at the time: "26 years ago today I walked into my first recovery meeting. Since then, my life has completely changed. I have made beautiful, beautiful, friendships and it has expanded my life beyond recovery and it has given me the family life and creative life. I never thought possible."

Meet the Aussie duo rewiring comedy
In early 2020, appearing on the YouTube interview show Hot Ones, legendary comedian Will Ferrell mused on the future of comedy. Comedy clubs were back then and are now a shadow of their former selves and mere days ago CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert after 33 years on air, 10 of those with Colbert as host. But laughs aren't dead, they're just online now. Social media is proving the new frontier for comedians looking to cut their teeth, allowing budding comics to record sketches, develop characters and grow a platform without the aid of more traditional pathways. Half the world away from that Ferrell interview, comedy duo Swag on the Beat started life in a Melbourne supermarket after an innocent one-take video poking fun at Covid supermarket etiquette gathered almost 30,000 views. Melbourne duo Swag On The Beat made up of Isaac Gibbons and Jack Say. David Crosling Credit: News Corp Australia Today, the duo – made up of Jack Say, 28, and Isaac Gibbons, 29 – have amassed more than 3.3 million followers across Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. Having recently completed a live show tour around Australia, New Zealand and England, Say and Gibbons agreed with Ferrell's assessment that there was no substitute for honing a comedian's craft quite like performing in front of a crowd. However, they argued the nature of social media management meant nowadays comics needed to be a 'jack of all trades'. 'It was an amazing cutting of the teeth moment for us,' Say told NewsWire. 'We learned so much about live audiences, but it feels like now – you hear musicians talk about it as well – not only do you have to 'make the music', but you have to be the advertiser and you have to do all the social media stuff that comes along with it. 'It feels like you almost have to be a jack of all trades and to service each platform with what it requires in order to have a grip in the industry.' The boys just reached one million followers on Instagram alone. David Crosling Credit: News Corp Australia Continuing the aspiration of multi-platform mastery, the duo have cracked into the podcast space. It's a dangerous time to make the move. Internet commentators have complained the market is now so over-saturated that the sale of podcasting equipment ought to be restricted or banned. The boys, however, are finding the change of pace a welcome return to the ad lib comedy style of their younger years. 'Speaking for myself, I wasn't a huge podcast guy, so I guess I was always astounded by the amount of podcasts out there that have strong listenership,' Gibbons said. 'Obviously, it's a growing platform and there's people that listen to all kinds of content. And I think rather than talking other people down or focusing on how types of podcasts that don't deserve listeners, get listeners, maybe it's worth acknowledging that there's all kinds of listeners for different types of content and trying to tap into that, appreciate that everyone listens to different stuff and try to make something that can appeal to a lot of people.' Making content that is appealing to a wide spate of people is no easy task in the modern world and it's something that Say and Gibbons have made pains to improve on in recent years. 'We were talking about this earlier today actually. Something we've crystallised since the start of Swag and we're getting closer and closer to is being able to provide content that anyone can listen to,' Say said. Comedy legend Barry Humphries is among the boys' role models. Openart AI Credit: Supplied 'If you're 15 or 75, we would like to create stuff that anyone can enjoy, anyone can palate. 'While being fresh and interesting is kind of the goal for us, we don't want to exclude any group or person or people from our stuff. 'It's that classic line from when they wrote the Mr. Bean TV show. 'If a joke couldn't be understood by people in Egypt, then it didn't get in'. He's on the extreme level where he didn't even speak, but we're sort of taking a leaf out of that book, which is: Does this allow everyone who can hear and watch our stuff the chance to enjoy it? 'There's only so much you can do as two guys, but we feel like we're getting better at dividing our time and energy up into multiple parts of the industry, which feels like an essential thing.' It's difficult to put your finger on Australian comedy in the same way you can identify dry British humour or brazen American comedies, and the nature of social media skits as an emerging form of content means prospective filmers may lack the comic role models of other mediums. However the boys cast the net wide and believe the vagueness offers an opportunity to cherry pick and aspire to the best. 'We're big fans of Chris Lilly, everything done by Chris Lilly,' Gibbons said. Australian icon in Chris Lilley as Jonah Takalua. Supplied Credit: Supplied 'I love the character comedy and the way he can very convincingly play all different types of characters. Sacha Baron Cohen as well. 'I think the Godfather of Australian comedy, Barry Humphries, is of course iconic. Flight of the Concords is a duo who has a hilarious dynamic and incorporates music which we try to do as well.' '(American and British humour) both are incredible, but I suppose beyond personal preference of the comedy styles, as Australia does in many other ways, we sort of take little bits of longstanding cultures that we like and try and incorporate them into our own things,' Say added. 'Maybe there's a bit of that going on that is forming the Australian comedy style.' The duo has partnered with KitKat to release a line of Commuter Camouflage Hoodies and are celebrating reaching one million followers on Instagram by throwing a party at the Railway Hotel in Brunswick on Saturday, August 30, announcing a secret project they've 'been working on for months'.

Gwyneth Paltrow hired on 'temporary basis' to speak on behalf of company after CEO's viral cheating moment at Coldplay concert
Gwyneth Paltrow has appeared in a hilarious cameo speaking on behalf of Astronomer, with the company caught in a PR disaster after its CEO and his alleged mistress was busted cosying up at a Coldplay concert. Astronomer chief Andy Byron had his arms wrapped around the chest of fellow colleague Kristin Cabot at the British band's tour in Boston, Massachusetts on July 16. The alleged tryst was filmed by Coldplay fan Grace Springer and shared to TikTok where it has been seen close to 70 million times, with many news stories already written. Chris Martin, who is Paltrow's ex-husband and father to her two children, joked to the crowd that the couple were "either having an affair or just very shy" as thousands of other concert-goers laughed and cheered. On Saturday, Astronomer published a video to their LinkedIn page in which Paltrow appeared as a ''temporary spokesperson'' to answer some questions, marking a surprise PR move by the company as it continues to become entangled in a media storm. The actress, wearing a blue shirt, started her cameo by saying: ''Thank you for your interest in Astronomer. Hi, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow," as corporate music blissfully played in the background. ''I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300 plus employees at Astronomer. ''Astronomer has got a lot of questions in the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.'' The first question which appeared on the screen read: ''Q: OMG! What the actual f**k'' the text begins, before it abruptly cuts off with Paltrow reappearing. Paltrow then replies: ''Yes! Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.'' ''We've been thrilled to see so many people suddenly interested in data workflow automation," she continues applying light sarcasm. ''As for the other questions we've received…'' A second question then appears on the screen: ''How is your social media team holding..'' Paltrow responds: ''Yes! There is still space available at our Beyond Analytics event this September! ''And now, we'll return to doing what we do best... delivering game-changing results for our customers. Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.'' The post has garnered the attention of hundreds of LinkedIn users who headed to the comments to share their support and applaud the ''boss move'' by Astronomer's media team. ''Absolutely brilliant, Leo Zheng and team - just brilliant,'' one LinkedIn user commented. ''Phenomenal work, Leo Zheng,'' wrote another. ''Leo Zheng: mic drop,'' a third wrote. ''A clever way to reach your audience - unexpected, but memorable,'' a user critiqued the video. ''Though, to be honest, the question and answer felt like they were on entirely different airflows.'' The company previously said on LinkedIn that Mr Byron is under formal investigation over his alleged cheating scandal involving Astronomer's chief human resources officer. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability," it said. "The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly." Both Byron and Cabot have quit their jobs at the tech company following the scandal.
