We’re torn, because goop’s ubiquity stems from us loving to hate its groomed, glossy existence and its espousal of a lifestyle that, for pretty much everyone in the world except for Paltrow herself, is not only financially unreasonable but logistically impossible. One can only detox so often.

We do, however, have to give Gwyneth credit for correctly identifying Greenfield’s New Girl character, Schmidt, as “the kind of guy you lusted after at your cousin’s Bar Mitzvah.” And, full disclosure: my gynecologist delivered Gwyneth’s son Moses, which I know because I spent $3.99 on the goop city guide app, but which I haven’t found a way to casually bring up mid-exam.

So does the awesomeness of Greenfield finding yet another medium through which to entertain us outweigh the annoyingness of his Schmidt-like endorsement of goop’s cultural value? Should Greenfield have to contribute to Schmidt’s douchebag jar for this one? You be the judge.

Pro: Of HBO’s Girls, he says, “Lena Dunham is Jewish Punk Rock.”

Con: He uses the word ‘trousers.’

Pro: He makes a strong argument for throws (“a throw is not to be confused with a blanket”), particularly the Jonathan Adler variety.

Con: He’s guest editing a Goop newsletter.

Pro: He’s really cute about his daughter.

Con: He panders to Clooney.

Pro: He asks the real questions: “How am I supposed to be ‘Ready for Summer’ when I was never ‘Ready for Spring’?”

Con: He might wear high neck sweaters. What would Schmidt say?

Pro: He and I have the same tortoise shell iPhone cover, which redeems his potential collaborative misstep and basically makes us best friends.

Passover is back, and this year its going glam. From fancy new haggadot to Jonathan Adler-designed seder plates, Passover might just be the new Hanukkah. Over at Tablet Magazine, Jewcy editor Stephanie Butnick gets in the holiday spirit with a list of seder-friendly designer items.

We don’t want to spoil the slideshow, but our favorite is this Paschal mezuzah designed by Tamara Connolly for her Kli Judaica line, inspired by the blood smeared on the doorposts of Jewish homes the night before the final plague. It’s creative, smart, and kind of dark, and we do like our mezuzot seasonal.
