Gwyneth Paltrow was staring into the gazing pool in her Brentwood backyard, thinking positive, #blessed thoughts and telling the water she loves it very much, when a horrifying image appeared. Suddenly the water transformed into a scrying mirror, in which she could see a vision of her ex-husband Chris Martin at a fancy restaurant, having dinner with a beautiful young woman. She peers deeper into the image, trying to identify the mysterious visage of Chris’s dining companion. Recognizing the unmistakable face of Rihanna, Gwyneth screams and pounds her fists into the water, accidentally manifesting beautiful eggshell-colored bone horns out of her head. Her trusted Dr. Emoto, who has been living in the guesthouse on call, runs outside to stop Gwyneth from being violent against H20. The BadGalRiri Effect strikes again!

Now, it could be that Chris Martin and Rihanna were just talking business. It wasn’t necessarily a date, even though Chris is consciously uncoupled and Rih and her on-again, off-again love Drake recently split up once more. That doesn’t mean it was a date, even if they left the tony Santa Monica eatery Giorgio Baldi conspicuously through different exits. They were probably just talking about working on another song as a follow-up to their 2011 collaboration, “Princess of China.” Or they’re fucking. Maybe it’s both!

Gwyneth continues to cosplay her latest role as “the chillest ex-wife ever,” remaining good friends with Chris, hanging out with him around L.A., and maybe even still living together while also encouraging him to move on. But this glitch in the GOOPtrix could have far-reaching consequences. For example …

July 5, 2014: Pictures surface on the Internet of Chris and Rihanna sucking face at a Malibu barbecue. The ones of Chris and Riri blazing up a spliff and then eating a whole roasted pig cause Gwyneth to finally snap, descending into a juice-cleanse, hunger-fueled rage.

August 15-17, 2014: Gwyneth spends a wild weekend with Drake, which crashes and burns on Sunday night when he gets too high, puts on “Days in the East,” and opens up to her about his feelings for Rihanna. Gwyneth pretends to listen while ordering her Uber under the table and thinking to herself, My god, I’ve got to get out of Calabasas and back to Brentwood!

August 20, 2014: Chris finds out that Rihanna has actually also been seeing other British pop stars including Calvin Harris, Harry Styles, Gary Barlow, and Ellie Goulding.

Drake, alone at the wedding watching everyone else split off and couple up, cries a stack of crystal tears that he fashions into a pinky ring.
