I remember when she trashed the U.S. constantly in the press and moved to England during the Bush years.... but then quietly flew back to have her baby at an American hospital.

Phony scumbucket.

And she’s getting publicity, and people are talking about her again.

KA-CHING, suckers!

When she gives away everything but a couple hundred thousand bucks I will be impressed with her compassion and concern. Let me know when that happens.

Did she demo how to use your EBT card at a strip club or how to book vacation boat cruises with it?

Or maybe how you have to buy bottled water at $2 per bottle, spend all that time slaving over pouring the water onto the ground, just so you can return the empty for 5 cents cash each to buy cigarettes.

Or maybe how you can buy steak and lobster for your dog.

She took the challenge and showed it could be done with ease.
Maybe that’s why she’s rich: she solves problems, not wallows in them.

You have to say one thing for her. Gwyneth Paltrow is probably the only person who unites the far Left and the far Right in their hatred and disdain for her.

I remember when this skank went around with her fake British accent (I guess she bought a house there and did a movie or two). IIRC she was born in Connecticut to Blythe Danner.

I’ve always thought that to be a good actor, first the person had to be of average or below average intelligence. I know there are exceptions to this, but there are an awful lot out there whose IQs don’t even reach room temperature IMO.

Paltrow, Madonna, Brittney Spears.......all of them have used fake British accents.

Phony Hollywood liberal...I hate cheez whiz... but if that is all you can afford, you got to buy it...

Why not donate 95% of your income to people on SNAP. Or why not go to Whole Foods buy food like caviar, snails and lobster and donate it to the poor...

“I’ve always thought that to be a good actor, first the person had to be of average or below average intelligence”

I think that’s probably a detriment to actors in most cases. They are human puppets being played with by the director. Their job doesn’t really call for a lot of independent thinking.

Why so much vitriolic hatred? She showed $29/wk is enough for food, which anyone can earn. So what if she’s rich and usually enjoys the fruits of her labors.

Everyone is missing the fact that the $29/week is pure BS.

In PA, a “family of one” can get up to $194/month = $48.5/week.

Of course, it is “supplemental” so there is a sliding scale. But the very worst of the worst, with no other income would not be given $29/week.

Sounds to me like she is making the case for a Big Tax on Entertainment to help feed the poor. Maybe we should take her up on the offer and propose a $10 per ticket TAX on Any and All entertainment venues, to feed the poor. And Maybe an additional 25% TAX on Royalties earned as a result of Entertainment.

Where do you think that SNAP money comes from? She contributes more than her fair share.

"A 20-pound bag of rice, a few bags of various kinds of dried beans, supplemented with some chicken breast ($1.99/pound on sale at my local supermarket), and she's all set," one savvy shopper wrote.

The article writer obviously read the earlier FR thread, from which he got the quote

That is PRECISELY why she got all that vitriolic hatred.

She pointed out that $29/week (which is less than half the maximum SNAP allotment of $194/month for a single person) is perfectly adequate IF the recipient buys raw food and learns to cook.
