Gwyneth Paltrow is causing controversy again with a statement on her lifestyle website Goop about her belief that water might have feelings.

The 41-year-old actress, who recently split from her husband Chris Martin, endorsed the work of Japanese doctor Masuru Emoto, who has published several books on the theory that human consciousness can change the structure of water.

"I have long had Dr. Emoto's coffee table book on how negativity changes the structure of water," Paltrow wrote on her blog. "How the molecules behave differently depending on the words or music being expressed around it."

That’s right. Don’t spend time trying to save your marriage. Spend your time bloviating about the “structure” of water.

I've spent a fair amount of my life on the water .... it exists; it can swallow you up and spit you out; it can calm you; provide your dinner; it can be a way to get from here to there.

I've never, ever tried to change it, just co-exist with it. Poor Gwyneth, she's jumped the shark.

My most memorable moments of life have been on the water and I pray when my time is near each event will be remembered precisely, so I can “cross the bar.” The beauty, power, tranquility, and fear are equal in intensity, when at its mercy, they are one in the same.......I am thinking that Gwyneth is referring to drinking water, tap or bottled.

Well said, I understand the beauty, power, pleasure and awe of water. I've requested that my ashes be *put in* on *my* beloved river, the Connecticut River.

Look, folks, Ms Paltrow is allowed to believe what she will. We don't go to actresses for open-heart surgery, nor to design bridges, instead, we look for a credible performance on stage or film by them as being someone else. We call that entertainment. That is her specialty, and I admittedly have enjoyed her performance in movies.

I won't be too rough on her for her beliefs as long as she doesn't try to impose them on me.

After all, we have a right to be wrong, if we choose, so long as it causes no one harm.

I did, but didn’t get good info from the article, which was poorly titled, as well.
