Gwyneth Paltrow: hangovers and the high holidays

The Ministry wishes everyone well around the High Holidays, but be careful with the pour on that Manischewitz: Gwyneth Paltrow teaches us that one can definitely be over-served.

Miss Goop sent out her weekly newsletter Thursday with some recipes for celebrating the holy days. Dishes like apple and honey cake, rugelach and chocolate babka are sprinkled through the post, as well as some words from Kabbalah scholar Michael Berg.

We hope Berg slipped her some aspirin along with his reflections, as Paltrow clued in her Twitter followers to a particularly severe hangover after her Tuesday birthday. (What up, Libra sister?!)

"Nursing a horrific hangover at the jfk," Paltrow said. "Nothing like starting an overseas flight dehydrated."

"Where is the dog, I need the hair," she added, and in one response to a Twitter pal she mentioned, "I was over served, its not my fault. Or is it?"

L'Shanah Tovah to you, Gwyneth, and to us all. Oh, happy 39th birthday too!

Katy Perry introduces Russell Brand, 'man of God'

Newlywed Katy Perry gushes in this month's Harper's Bazaar that her husband Russell Brand has it all -- including her requisite dab of holiness?

"I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father," she says.

The songstress and actor were married in October, before friends and family in India. Harper's notes that Perry has "an unmissable 'Jesus' tattooed on her left wrist," and we all know how protective she gets of religious imagery and its use in art (right, Lady Gaga?).

Brand's bride also appreciates his mortal qualities as well.

"He's thought-provoking, articulate, a real advocate. I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him," she said.

Katy Perry had a birthday party, so now Taylor Swift is a Nazi?

Let’s load the Taylor Swift “Nazi scandal” into our Imaginary DVR and hit rewind, shall we?

A while back, a lovely girl named Katy Perry was born. She became famous. And on Saturday, she celebrated her 25th birthday with a Willy Wonka-themed extravaganza sponsored by a vodka label. She invited guests! And the guests were told to wear white! So that they could celebrate by decorating each other with neon paint!

What could go wrong?

Enter poor, sweet, blond Taylor, soon to become the “Carrie” of this Oompa Loompa-laden bacchanal.

Lulled into a false sense of security after her Kanye West-ificiation at the MTV Video Music Awards, Swift actually posed for pictures with other people who had been invited to the birthday party.

Clearly, a foolish career move.

The correct response: “Don’t you know I’m Taylor Swift, you serf? Wipe that smile off your face! I made the best female video ever!” Because rude and crazy just blend in.

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor. You  just had to pose with That One Guy. That One Guy who now says that before the party, he didn’t know you, didn’t know from swastikas. Who says it started as a red “X,” then got all “perverted,” which is really unbelievable, considering everyone was at a Hollywood party, sponsored by a vodka label, where pretty young people were all painting on one another. Will the deception and conspiracies never stop?

For the record, Taylor, That One Guy now tells TMZ that he’s really, really sorry, and concedes that it’s possible you didn’t fully inspect his ensemble when he grabbed you for the picture.

 Yeah, right. Who’d believe that?

Takeaway wisdom is after the jump:
