Gwyneth Paltrow wants to raise her first child in Britain - because America is 'too weird'.

The 31-year-old wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin is due to have their first child later this year.

Paltrow said she would worry about bringing up a baby in the US adding: 'There's a weird over-patriotic atmosphere. It's like, "We're No.1 and the rest of the world doesn't matter".

'With all the guns in schools, it's not too great. We'll probably move about until school age and then choose a place and stick with it.'

LOL. John Cleese lives in Santa Barbara.

He's not stupid.

John Cleese lives in Santa Barbara.

He's not stupid.

and far more talented than G. P.

When Gwyneth Paltrow complained about Britain's weather headlines branded her "Moaning Gwynnie"

Poor Gwynnie.

She hates America, at least since the Beloved Bill left office. Must leave.

Great Britain is too cold. She complains about patriotic. The Brits are patriotic. Why do you think they call it "GREAT" Britain, not "Very Nice Britain" or "Slightly Above Average Britain", No, "Great Britain". Oh well it's too cold anyway.

She sounds like the perfect candidate for the French Riviera - just a few problems:

French Riviera
1. She would have to learn French. Not a difficult task, but the French would never Accept her American accent.
2. She would have to compete with French actresses who are FAR more beautiful then she is.
3. When the Islamics take over they will force her to wear a Burqua.
4. On the other hand, it would be an easy commute to the Cannes Film Festival.
5. The big problem is that she is not talented enough to afford to live on the Riviera.

Monaco might be a great choice. Grace Kelly did that. Oh Wait, she's neither as talented as G. K. nor as beautiful. She can't marry a Monegasque - she already married to that stupid rock star. Ok, scratch Monaco.

Italian Riviera:
1. She won't like Berlusconi either.
2. Italian actresses are even more beautiful than French ones.

Tough luck Gwynnie.

"I haven't made a decent movie in quite some time, my career is waning, and I'll do and say anything just to get my name in the news."

Very, very bad career move, luv.

...Just ask Sean Penn, who now 'freelances' for the San Francisco Chronicle, since the majority of his movies have tanked lately. Just a quick example: As a merchandiser for a sales solutions corporation and the major studios, I stock and display movies for a San Diego Best Buy. One of the films that has just been reduced to sell for $14.99 is Penn's "I Am Sam." Just last Friday, I stocked eight of them in what is called a Racetrack fixture; I come back in today (Monday), only one of those eight sold. Contrast that with titles like "Donnie Brasco", "The Usual Suspects", or "Terminator 2: Judgement Day,", which were virtually wiped out. Need I say more?

Can you say box-office poison, boys and girls? I knew you could.

What poison? After decades of conservative boycotts, Big Media is getting ever bigger, and making money hand over fist.

Too bad. I used to like Paltrow until she turned out to be, like, you know, weird.
