Hasta La Gadget!

Gwyneth Paltrow is committed to living the Goopiest life possible and that means being “extremely open-minded.” All those years of living off of a macrobiotic diet have prepared the Goopster for anything — even the possibility of infidelity.

Now, Paltrow’s husband of 10 years, Chris Martin, hasn’t cheated on her, but she does deal with the issue in tandem with the topic of sex addiction in her new movie “Thanks For Sharing,” which co-stars Mark Ruffalo as a man who suffers from the affliction.

In an interview with Refinery 29, the 40-year-old actress got pretty candid about both topics, telling the website that she wouldn’t run if she ended up falling for a sex addict:

In the lastest installment of his web series “RuPaul Drives,” Supermodel of the World RuPaul Charles took a drive with ‘Drag Race'” fourth season champion Sharon Needles down the streets of L.A.

Sharon, who needs a lift to his hotel — the Hollywood Cemetery — is thrown into the hot seat when Ru grills him about some of the more controversial things that have landed the spooktacular queen in the line of fire in the past.

For those of you who may have missed it: Sharon came under fire while still on “Drag Race” for allegedly using a racist slur in a Facebook status. She was also banned from performing at the Life Ball in Vienna after making a joke about the location being the birthplace of Adolf Hitler in front of reporters.

OK, iOS 7, the honeymoon is over.

It’s been about a week since Apple revealed the highly anticipated software upgrade. While we found some features life-changing, other quirks in the new iOS are downright annoying. We took to Twitter to ask our followers what their biggest gripes were, and we found that we weren’t alone in our annoyance.

Here are seven new features that make us wish we could go back in time and never upgrade our iPhone in the first place:

Comments on the internet: often a haven for trolls and axe-grinders, but comment threads also give rise to some insightful and entertaining commentary. In an effort to encourage the latter and to provide users with an improved experience, YouTube’s rolling out a new commenting system that integrates deeply with Google+. What does that mean, exactly? Much like that other social network’s News Feed, comments in YouTube will be based on relevance, not how recently they were posted. So, comments from people you know, celebrities and video creators, plus positively rated comments will percolate to the top of comment threads according to Big G’s ranking algorithms. Additionally, replies will be nested beneath original comments to better enable conversations. Like Facebook, should you find the idea of automated comment curation unsettling, you can always switch back to the old way of having the most recent comments show up first.

The integration with Google+ also broadens your commenting boundaries; post a comment on YouTube, then share that video on on G+ and comments and replies made on either site will show up in both places. You can also control who gets to read comments you make by choosing which circles will see them, so you can even have private conversations. As for content owners, the system borrows features from many other commenting platforms. To deal with comments at scale, channel admins can build user whitelists and blacklisted words and phrases to make moderation easy. YouTube Product Manager Nundu Janakiram tells us that the comments system has been in the works for over a year, and that these features are only the beginning. His team plans to provide even better tools for users and content creators to let them filter out the noise and increase the quality of comments. Initially, folks will be able to test out the new comments in the discussion tab on any YouTube channel’s home page, after which it’ll roll out to individual videos in the coming months — and we’d be shocked if these G+ enabled comments don’t make their way into many other Google properties eventually, too.
