LISBON (AFP) - Oscar-winning US actress Gwyneth Paltrow feels dinner talk is far more interesting in her adopted homeland Britain than back in her native country.
"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," she told "NS", the weekend magazine supplement of daily Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias on Saturday.
"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," the 34-year-old added.
Paltrow, who won a best actress Oscar for 1998's "Shakespeare in Love," lives in London with British band Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin whom she wed in 2003.
She said having US pop star Madonna, 48, who married British film director Guy Ritchie six years ago, nearby was another advantage to living in London.
"She's like an older sister. Everything I have gone through, she went through ten times worse and ten times longer. She gives me good advice about how to say no and take care of myself," said Paltrow.
What a stupid little ****!
What a dumbpelosi.
She takes advice from Madonna --- enough said.
She's a real pelosi-eater, alright.
ES is this same chic that name her baby Apple she must be dumb as log LOL!
She marries a goddamned rock star -- a mediocre one at that -- and hangs out with Madonna and presumes to hold forth about how cultured she is? Yeah, I'm sure her husband's rock star friends give better dinner conversation and then they roll a spliff right at the dinner table and don't talk about how much they paid for the weed because that would be crude and all to talk about money that way at the dinner table.
She hung out in Hollywood and Manhattan which are money centric and didn't realize that it was her friends who were talking about money. She simply has a different set of friends in England. She's not bright enough to see that. If a British girl came to the US and dated a basketball player and hung out with only him and his friends, she might start to think that all Amercians are tall. But only if she's as dumb as Gwyneth Paltrow.
Now I wish the DVD for A Perfect Murder had an alternate ending. You know, one where Michael Douglas gets away with it.
So9, I think you've hit on the "core" of the problem. :)
.
Gwyneth is married of Chris Martin from rock group Coldplay, an America hating Brit.
LOL!
She named her son Moses.
Got one for that?
She is welcome to leave and go live in with the Brits.
Doing it well is grinding work.
COME ON I could understand name your kid normal name but if you just name your kid Apple to keep up with Jolie/Pitts you must be dumb bimbo
What gets my goat even more so about "GWENNY" here is that she has had EVERYTHING handed to her since she was born. It's real easy for silver spoon sucking idiots like her to say thinggs like this, given the company she's only surrounded herself in her whole life.
My only favorable comment about Ms Paltrow's remarks was that she was correct to say that talking about money is not the done thing in Britain - considered very crass.
She'll still take our currency though. You're right ES, what a bi***.
And I agree about the Great Santini. I always thought it was one of those movies that the name had a big effect on its success. Terrible and misleading title.
Her daddy was a big Hollywood producer; her mother (who IS attractive) was a Hollywood starlet. Hollywood loves dynasties.
Well, OK. Fine.
But after the British Dinner Talk is done ...
...comes the British Dinner.
