Netflix gave Gwyneth Paltrow money to make a 'Goop' series
Whatever you think about the authenticity of Goop's health offerings, you're about to see a lot more of them online. Gwyneth Paltrow's outfit is launching a documentary series on Netflix that will examine "physical and spiritual wellness" issues. Goop wants to tell "bigger stories" that need a TV budget, content chief Elise Loehnen told Variety. Paltrow, Loehnen and Goop editors will host the string of 30-minute episodes when they premiere in the fall.
Ex-NASA scientist calls Goop's 'healing stickers' a load of BS
You're probably used to ignoring all those overpriced New Age-y therapies and miracle cures Gwyneth Paltrow's website Goop tends to promote. Remember that time when it suggested inserting jade eggs into the vagina to "increase chi?" No? Well, you can't make this stuff up. One of its latest recommendations, wearable stickers by a company called "Body Vibes," is pretty hard to turn a blind eye to, though, because its creators claimed that it uses NASA technology. Goop wrote that the body stickers are capable of rebalancing "the energy frequency in our bodies," since they're made of the "same conductive carbon material NASA uses to line spacesuits" to "monitor an astronaut's vitals during wear." Except, as a NASA rep told Gizmodo, that's not true -- at all.

One Shots: Let me stand next to your fire
It appears that our own Massively Mob members are chasing those crazy achievements in Guild Wars of late. The good news is that since everyone is questing so much, it's taking people into gorgeous areas. As such, they're reporting back to us with amazing screenshots from within Guild Wars! Today's awesome One Shots comes to us from Mob member Reg, who writes in to explain this fiery scene: "My quest for 30 points on the Guild Wars 2 calculator sent me into Sorrow's Furnace to unlock the Black Moa Chick mini-pet. This was my first time there, so when I saw this view I just sorta stopped and was amazed at it all -- figured it was time for a screenshot! I did go on to beat the Iron Forgeman, unlocking the Black Moa Chick AND the Eternal Conquerer of Sorrow's Forge MoH statue AND completing a Zaishen Bounty; 30 Points!!! Now for that Obsidian armor set." From large to small, we love MMOs. We know you love them too, or you wouldn't be here. So, while you're out adventuring, why not snap a screenshot for us? Email those in to oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. Yours could wind up being the next one we feature here on Massively! %Gallery-85937%
