Well...Gwyneth Paltrow is at it again. This time she's going on about how she's sold her mansion in NY, and basically that she's too amazingly learned and cultured to deal with America anymore. She says
"I've always been drawn to Europe. America is such a young
country, with an adolescent swagger about it. But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe."
Oh...poor Gwyneth!!!...She then goes on about Bush...now, it's not that I don't agree with her here, it's mostly that I agree with MichaelK in all his profanatory glory when he says:
Who the fuck says "I have a European sensibility"? This bitch is always living in a fucking Jane Austen novel!
ha.

Damn. I am European and I wouldnt say I was that sensible. As a Brit, I think I speak for my nation when I say; "Look, we took Madonna and that was one thing. We have your back in a pointless war, and that's fine too but trying to push Gwennie on to us is a bit much. If you keep this up we'll export Victoria 'Posh' Beckham to you"
Elisa you're too funny! the minute I read the headline I was lmao.
Assuming that she wasn't taken out of context (as the media does on a regular basis) and she wants to take an attitude on our country, she can just GTFO. I am not the biggest Bush supporter but am horrified to think what this mess would smell like with a democrat like Kerry in the oval office. He would probably try to negotiate with Osama.
Exactly, DRD. Who knows, maybe her fave movie is Sense and Sensibility. She pretty much makes no sense, so why should her "sensibility" make sense. As far as I am concerned, celebs born and raised here who make their millions here then look down their noses at the country who made them who they are don't deserve to be here in the first place. If Europe wants them, Europe can have them. If not, Antarctica is available.
I really like the UK so I'm sorry to say this but you folk can have her. Like Madonna, she's a wanna-be Brit anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if she takes British nationality on the off chance one day she'll be given a title or knighthood.
This actually isn't the first time that she's compared Europe to America. When she first started hanging out in Europe more she said how in Europe when people sit down to eat they talk about art and culture and here in America all they do at the dinner table is gossip. I still like here though...she's a good actress. Just...maybe, she should just stick to that.
This woman is delusional. She wasn't taken out fo context...this is exactly something she'd say. She's got a Superiority Complex!
Jack...that is SO true...her dream is to be called Dame Gwyneth Paltrow. ugh!

I am not defending her AT ALL, but why is it so bad to want to live in Europe or become Britsh? Her husband is English, for crying out loud. You can't live in a country and not be changed by it.
She sounds like she is trying to copy Johnny Depp when he made the comment about America being a little puppy. She's phrased it very carefully. These celebs can have their cake and eat it too, though. It's very easy to criticise the US, but return whenever it suits you. They can afford to Euro snobs this week and not the next.
But sadly, the opinions of American actors in Europe are groomed by their European peers and friends, so they are just repeating what they are learning.
DR.D: geez, you seem a bit irrational for such a learned man. You should steady your hand before going back into the operating theatre.
Hey Dawn,
I agree...I would rather live in Europe than in the U.S...but what gets me is the way she says it...as if she's sooo special...like she's way too sophisticated for the States...like she's gods gift to Europe.
love,

Insulting the people who work real hard and then hand over their hard-earned dollars to see your scrawny ass on the big screen probably isn't the most endearing quality in a woman.
When I put in 60 hrs a week at a job I abhor, then spend the remainder of my awake time doing homework so I can get my masters and work a less horrible job, I want someone to entertain me for the 2 hours a week that I'm allowing myself to be distracted from "the real world." I don't want lectured or talked down to.
