Oh the Gwyn-sanity: We're taking this with seventeen grains of salt, but Gwyneth Paltrow has allegedly been "urged" to do something to improve her public image in advance of the supposedly scathing

diluted bleach baths sound like a
terrible idea. And guess what? Dermatologists agree! "I cannot emphasize enough that it is very important that individuals with inflammatory conditions do not apply bleach directly to their skin," said Dr. Graham Johnson of the British Association of Dermatologists. "We often see patients with severe reactions to even mild bleaches, and I would recommend that people with inflamed or broken skin avoid contact with bleach in those areas." Uh, yeah. [
