Gwyneth Paltrow poses nearly nude on the cover of her first Goop magazine

The INSIDER Summary:

• Gwyneth Paltrow's health website Goop has been around for almost a decade.
• Now the company is releasing a quarterly print magazine, also called Goop. 
• The first issue comes out September 19 and features Paltrow herself on the cover. 

Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop has been subject to lots of criticism in recent months — but the company is soldiering ahead with its plans for expansion. A brand-new Goop magazine, created in collaboration with publishing giant Condé Nast, is set to hit newsstands September 19.

The debut issue's cover shows Paltrow nearly nude, covered in a grayish substance that might well be described as "goop." A single coverline reads, "Earth to Gwyneth."

According to a company press release, the issue's cover story is all about Paltrow, how she got involved in "wellness," and her experiences with some controversial remedies, like bee-sting therapy. 

The press release also provided a handful of Paltrow quotes from the article. 

"The doctor stings you [with a live bee] like it's an acupuncture needle. I had it done on my cesarean scar … I had some buckling in the scar, and it really evened it out," Paltrow said of the aforementioned bee stinging treatment. 

She also recalled her very first time trying out a cleanse. 

"I remember the next day [after I finished the cleanse] I was like, 'Oh, wow, I just did this cleanse, and I feel so much better. I can have a beer and a cigarette now, right?'" Paltrow said.

For more, we'll have to wait until the official release on September 19. The magazine will be sold Goop's website and on newsstands nationwide for the retail price of $14.99. Diehard Goop fans can also pre order a copy of the first issue online right now.
