PHOTOS'Drunk' Gwyneth Paltrow Calls Herself A 'Lame Old White Lady' During ELLE's Women In Hollywood Speech
Gwyneth Paltrow admitted she was a little too tipsy to write a speech for the ELLE's Women In Hollywood event on October 13. The actress was honored at the bash and she revealed why she wasn't prepared when she rambled on during her speech.
Although Gwyneth, 47, had the audience laughing with her drunken state of mind, The Politician star didn't hide her shame. "I'm drunk and a lame old white lady," she explained to the crowd as to why she didn't write anything.
The ELLE's Women In Hollywood event honored several women for their roles and achievements in film and was held at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.
Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson were also praised at the party. A-listers such as Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Zendaya and Margot Robbie also attended the evening's festivities.

Gwyneth recently caught flack for a suggestion she made on her lifestyle website, Goop. The mother of two published an interview where a doctor told her readers to try and achieve their “leanest livable weight." Health professionals slammed her for glorifying “skinniness.”
The Goop article is titled "Busting Diet Myths” and featured an interview with psychologist Dr. Traci Mann that encouraged readers to work towards the lowest possible end of their “set range" when setting a weight loss goal. “The phrase 'leanest livable weight' refers to the leanest weight you can be without doing any strict dieting or unhealthy behavior,” Dr. Mann wrote in the piece. “Our set range is a genetically determined range of weight that your body generally keeps you in, despite your efforts to escape it.”
She continued, “If your weight is below that range, biological changes due to calorie deprivation happen, and generally push you back into your set range. However, if you stay within your set range—at the lower end of it—you should be able to maintain that weight without your body making those negative changes.”
Certain doctors did not approve of this admission and responded with heavy criticism. Cambridge University scientist Dr. Giles Yeo argued that the advice leads to eating disorders. The Shakespeare in Love star's lifestyle has been embroiled in several controversies since it's inception in 2008. Gwyneth was slammed also for allegedly plagiarizing nutritionist Charles Platkin's column.
