In an Interview with a Portugese paper Paltrow stated that people in the U.K. are much more intelligent and civilised. "I love the British way of life, it is not as capitalistic as in America". When dining the Brits dont talk about work and money, they discuss more intelligent topics. She also mentions that her friend Madonna shares her views and is like a Sister to her..........
Funny how money isn't important to someone with so much of it.
I am NOT siding with her....BUT, having lived in London they are MUCH more knowledgeable about America and it's happenings than most Americans I meet!!! Our "charwoman" knew more about Nixon than I ever hoped to!!
Now there's a ringing endorsement.
What makes me laugh is all these hollywood types who are more comfortable in Europe will be the first ones the fanatical muslims will come after when they take over Europe for corrupting morals in society (i.e.: Madoona's famous porno book)
Says the woman who is rich thanks to capitalism.
Idiot.
Duh...
Like I am going to listen to someone talk about intelligence after she names a child Apple.
Spoken like a true elitist. Perhaps if she were not independently wealthy, her concern for income might be a bit different.
When did Madame Gwynneth get a brain?
Gwyneth Paltrow will one day understand that the industry people she socialized with in NYC and LA are not Americans.
I'm not paying any attention to a woman who names her daughter Apple.
"Like I am going to listen to someone talk about intelligence after she names a child Apple"
LOL So true!
Another funny thing about these anti-capitalists: when they need trustworthy medical care, they aren't afraid to come back home and be called hypocrites.
I agree. I hate to say it, but MOST Americans are uninformed and couldn't care less about what's going on here and haven't got a clue about the outside world.
I'm not a fan of Paltrow and Madonna disgusts me, but it is true that the average guy on the street in the UK is more interested and eager to know about news topics of the day.
Very true about the rest of the world being better educated and informed. Sadly, what she refers to as intellectual conversation is probably just as shallow. Muddy waters appearing deep to shallow people.
Anyone who (presumably) looks to the likes of Madonna for intellect and civilized probably hasn't heard the old saying: "You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think."
When she's not bashing capitalism, she's busy cashing in:
Gwyneth Paltrow Takes on Estee Lauder
Gwyneth Paltrow has signed a deal making her the new face of Estee Lauder. Paltrow will pitch Pleasures fragrance in print and on TV this fall.
Paltrow admits she doesn't like to wear a lot of makeup, basically lip gloss, sunscreen and mascara. But she also admits a movie star of her caliber holding an endorsement deal was once frowned upon.
She told USAToday, "Years ago, endorsing a product was considered something a movie actress shouldn't do, but now having a contract is almost like a status symbol."
