Gwyneth Paltrow Recalls Vagina Candle Release, Shocked
The scent — which was a blend of "geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed" — was described as 'funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected.'
Fast forward to today, Gwyneth has defended the candle once more, claiming again that she seemingly had no clue that it would actually get made once she joked about the vagina-esque scent.
During an appearance at the 2025 Mindvalley Manifesting Summit this weekend, Gwyneth recalled, 'That product is so fascinating because we were messing around with different scents one day. And I smelled something and I was like, 'Oh, that smells like … you know.'
'I was joking. And then [Douglas] was like, 'Oh we should make that a candle and put it on the site,'' she said, referring to Douglas Little, who works on all Goop fragrances.
'All of a sudden, it was literally on the website. And then we broke the Internet again. And then it took us a long time to live that one down,' she said.
Reacting to Gwyneth's comments, several internet users couldn't help but question her story. ''I just make jokes and then my team goes rogue without thinking of potential PR issues, and I have no say in what is produced, labelled or goes on the website for my own brand.' Sure, Jan,' one Reddit user said.

Owner Told Rescue Is Labrador Mix, DNA Test Reveals Truth: 'We Were Duped'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Adopting a dog can sometimes feel a bit like online shopping—what you expect isn't always what you get. That was the case for one woman who thought she had rescued a Labrador mix, only to later discover the truth. "We were duped!" wrote Reddit user alpinay in the comments of her post. "If it wasn't for the double dew claws and her height we would've thought she was 100 [percent] yellow lab." The owner explained that while the dog looks every bit the Labrador retriever, DNA results told a different story. "Turns out she's 0 [percent] lab." A slideshow of photos confirmed her surprise, with the caption: "Instead, she's a cool mix of almost all the giant livestock guardian breeds which explains her double dew claws!" Two screenshots from the Reddit post showing the dog and the results. Two screenshots from the Reddit post showing the dog and the results. Reddit/alpinay The photos end with a screenshot of the DNA results, revealing the pup is 62 percent Great Pyrenees, 16 percent Anatolian Shepherd, and a mix of Border Collie, Australian Cattle Dog, and other large breeds. In a reply to another user, she shared more about life with her new companion: "I've only had her for 2 months and we've noticed her energy levels increase by the day but she's generally very chill and lazy. "She gets bouts of energy when she's excited but is horizonal most of the day. She has a ferocious bark which is on brand with the pyr [and] Anatolian but is not too barky (thank goodness). "She has a double coat and sheds but not as bad as my other half pyr dog. She weighs about 65 lbs and has double dew claws on her hind legs!" Commenters found the mix-up amusing, with one joking: "Labrador Deceiver." Another wrote: "You know, I see a lot of lab mixes that I can tell they're not labs, but I can understand why someone thought so. This dog just straight up looks like a lab." How Breed Is Determined at Animal Shelters The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) estimates that 5.8 million dogs and cats entered shelters and rescues in 2024, with around 2 million dogs adopted last year. With so many animals moving through the system, shelters often rely on visual cues to assign breeds. According to the Animal Humane Society (AHS), dogs usually arrive with a breed already assigned—either by a previous owner or a partner shelter. This designation is often included on rabies vaccination certificates, which are legal documents similar to an ID. Because changing the breed would invalidate the certificate and require revaccination, shelters typically only update breed information when necessary. When a dog's breed isn't known—particularly with puppies—staff do their best to make an educated guess, looking at weight, coat, markings, ear shape, and other features. But with more than 200 recognized breeds, accuracy is tricky, and most dogs end up being mixes of several. As they grow, their traits often shift, making them look different from when they first arrived. Experts emphasize that a breed label is only one piece of the puzzle. Training, socialization, and the quality of care all play a greater role in shaping a dog's personality. Even within the same breed, temperaments can vary widely. That's why shelters encourage adopters to look for a pet that suits their lifestyle rather than relying too heavily on breed identity. Whether it's a Labrador, a livestock guardian, or a one-of-a-kind mix, the bond between dog and owner is what matters most. Newsweek reached out to u/alpinay for comment. We could not verify the details of the case.

1000-lb Sisters' Tammy Slaton Shows Off Gleaming Smile Transformation After Trolls Targeted Her Teeth
Tammy Slaton's glow-up just took a gleaming turn. The '1000-Lb Sisters' star has faced relentless trolling over her appearance, especially her missing teeth, but she is now smiling back stronger than ever. On the 'Creative Chaos' podcast, the 39-year-old flashed her brand-new dental bridges, revealing a transformation that is as bold as her weight loss journey. However, Slaton revealed the new transformation was temporary, but clarified that she is looking forward to even better results in the future. Tammy Slaton Flaunts Her New Smile After facing years of cruel online criticism about her teeth, Slaton now has her confidence back. On August 19, the reality TV star appeared on the 'Chaotic Chaos' podcast and showed off her latest transformation. 'Show me them chompers, girl,' host Hunter Ezell said, prompting Slaton to smile hard at the camera, revealing her new teeth. Ezell immediately congratulated her before asking her to explain the work she got done. Slaton delved into the details, sharing that the transformation was a result of a dental bridge, which is a treatment used to replace missing teeth. It works by securing an artificial tooth to the surrounding natural teeth, essentially creating a 'bridge' that fills the gap in a person's smile. Slaton Says She Isn't Done With The Process Although Tammy Slaton is embracing her new look, her dental transformation isn't over. During the chat, the Internet personality explained that the procedure was temporary due to some complications she had suffered. 'They're temporary still, but they had to cement them in because the glue wasn't holding. Well, my body was rejecting it. But they had to pull teeth. It's a bridge,' she shared. 'I'm still getting more done with it. It's a process.' Meanwhile, Slaton is convinced her new look isn't going to take all the trolls off her back. 'They're always gonna be there,' she said. However, Ezell encouraged her to pay less attention to the critics. He explained that he firmly believed criticism was a sign of success, saying he often told people that if no one was talking about them, it probably meant they weren't doing well in life. Slaton couldn't agree more as she quipped, 'Haters make me famous.' Fans Share In Tammy Slaton's Joy Fans couldn't hold back their excitement, as they flooded the comment section on YouTube with congratulatory messages for the TV personality. Some fans expressed pride in Slaton for working hard and achieving her dreams. 'So proud of you Tammy for coming so far!! And I'm so happy for you and wish you an amazing long full life of joy and adventure,' one person wrote. A second fan shared, 'You look amazing Tammy! I had to have all mine removed due to an illness and I love my new smile. Keep shining bright girl.' A third person described Slaton as 'adorable,' further encouraging her to embrace all her imperfections. 'You look amazing no matter what,' they added. Slaton Slams Troll Who Asked Her To Fix Her Teeth Tammy Slaton has previously opened up about her struggles with confidence, particularly regarding her teeth. In January 2024, she addressed a TikTok user who told her to 'fix them teeth,' explaining that comments like that only made things worse. 'With all due respect, I wish people like you would stop commenting crap like this,' she told the critic per PEOPLE, adding that remarks about her chin and teeth chipped away at her self-esteem. She explained that while she does have some money, dental work can be costly, and at the moment, she simply couldn't set aside the funds. Slaton admitted she had to calm herself down before responding, since her initial instinct was to lash out. 'I really wanted to tell you if you had a true problem with my teeth then pay for them yourself,' she said, before clarifying that she didn't want to be rude. Tammy Slaton Shows Off Her Trimmed Physique Slaton isn't only proud of her new teeth but her drastic weight loss as well. In July 2022, she underwent bariatric surgery and has since lost about 500 pounds. Slaton also recently had a major skin removal surgery that eliminated over 15 pounds of loose skin from her arms, legs and lower belly. Since the life-changing surgery, the '1000-lb Sisters' star has been flaunting her new look. On July 21, Slaton posted a series of photos on TikTok showing off her trimmed physique. One of the images showed her smiling while posing in black form-fitting one-piece shapewear. Another photo showed her holding up a peace sign in a yellow tank top and a pair of jeans. The carousel featured a voice in the background saying, 'I understood the assignment,' seemingly signaling Slaton's transformation. Solve the daily Crossword
