Gwyneth Paltrow famously married Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and moved to London. Once she moved, she began raving about how wonderful England is compared to us unsophisticated yokels here in ‘murrica.
“I love the English lifestyle, it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner.” Paltrow adds: “I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”
Of course, when the idiot Americans who go to see her movies got angry over those comments complained, she quickly backtracked, saying her comments were taken out of context. But now she’s back at it again, bashing America in favor of Spain:
Gwyneth Paltrow says Spain has “became a second home.”
“It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C., it’s incredible,” she tells the Associated Press.
“Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more,” she continued. “They aren’t running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don’t always have their BlackBerry on.”
It’s interesting that she would say that. Perhaps if she, along with the other self-obsessed liberals in Hollywood, would step out of Hollywood or Manhattan and into the real America, she’d see Americans differently. Most normal Americans do not have the pampered egos of the celebrities that Gwynnie Paltrow likes to rub elbows with have. Most normal Americans do spend time with their families, unlike the spoiled celebubrats in Hollywood and Manhattan who let their children be raised almost exclusively by nannies. And in this economy, most normal Americans aren’t going out and buying Blackberries, let alone run around without ever turning them off.
And believe it or not, Gwyneth, American does have a history. There is rich history in the United States, and even before the United States was founded there was history and culture here. Perhaps actually reading a book, as opposed to learning your history from Oliver Stone movies or Michael Moore documentaries, could help Ms. Paltrow in this area. But then, ignorance is bliss, which is likely why so many celebrities parade around, wallowing in their own smug arrogance.
Ever notice the anecdotal evidence these Hollywood snobs present, is always 180 degrees flipped around from the point they wish to make? In this case it’s that Spanish and English are truly sophisticated whereas we Yanks are just a bunch of hillbilly rubes. But then the stereotypes she presents, are of spending time with family and talking about interesting things at dinner, vs. running around with your Blackberry on.
Since when do hillbillies living in tar-paper shacks leave their Blackberry devices on all day long?
What’s really outrageous is she’s aligned herself solidly with the “Yankees are evil because they work all the time” crowd, the one that insists you aren’t a Good PersonTM unless your employer has a gun held to his head and is forced by regulatory bureaucrats to let you goof off twelve weeks a year. Meanwhile, what are Americans sending each other with those Blackberry devices? “Hey, let’s see Iron Man on Saturday instead of Friday night…I gotta work late.” Yeah that’s right — She’s making big money at the box office, money that Americans earned by doing that evil, awful, horrible hard work. This is how she thanks them.
Glad folks like you are getting the word out, Cassy. Hope you’re recovering nicely from the move.
Why can’t ANYONE who doesn’t like America and puts down this country,(NOT it’s leaders by the way) just KISS our ARSE and MOVE!!!???
Because if Liberals/Progressives succeed in destroying this country, there’s a good chance that we will see a lot of one way tickets to Australia..
Who is this woman? Sorry I don’t watch many movies anymore except classics. John Wayne being my favorite. What passes for “ntertainment” anymore is a simple waste of time and brain cells.
I’de rather read a book, spend time with my daughter, work in my garden and continue my 2 life quests, looking for the perfect beer and the perfect whiskey.
Why do these people even get attention? Just turn them off, don’t go to their movies and ignore them completly. Thats worse than a slap in the face for these people. Take Sean Penn. the perfect example. After Katrina when he was in NO he wouldn’t step his little toe in a boat unless there was atleast 20 cameras pointed in his general direction.
Ignore it and it will go away.
So Spain is great because they don’t like to work and haven’t built anything new in 500 years? Um, ok. You got us there, we definitely can’t compete with them.
In fact I suggest you move there and become a citizen, making it your permanent residence where among other things, you will be taxed by the very progressive spanish government. Also don’t forget to learn spanish and give up all your luxury goods, wouldn’t do to appear another boorish american flaunting her materialism.
