Gwyneth Paltrow's US boycott

Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed to stay away from the US.

The actress' Coldplay star husband Chris Martin was involved in a scuffle with a paparazzo last week shortly after Gwyneth left a New York hospital where she had been treated for a gastrointestinal problem.

The Los Angeles-born star - who mainly lives in the UK now with her British spouse and their two children, daughter Apple and son Moses - was so shaken up by the incident she has decided not to go back to her home country unless she "absolutely has to".

A source close to Gwyneth said: "She told me, 'I won't cross the pond, unless I absolutely have to for work.' Gwyneth was truly frightened by the intensity of the whole thing.

"She was feeling really fragile at that time and didn't need to face that."

The incident - which was caught on camera - saw Chris wrestle the photographer to the floor and take his camera, before handing it back to the snapper after he grabbed the musician from behind.

Gwyneth reportedly shouted at the shutterbug: "Are you crazy? I'm not Britney Spears!"

Let’s see. She’s an “actress”. Likes the good life. Where can she make the money? Guess she’ll “absolutely have to” come back to the old U.S of A. Too bad we’ll let her in.

You can criticize Ms Spears all you want but at least she's never shown signs of sedition or treason.

Call her a borderline sociopath. But she's our borderline sociopath.

She'll be back if she has another baby. That way she can take advantage of our superior medical care, like she did the last time she gave birth. Notice her husband was being treated at a New York hospital.

“I won’t cross the pond, unless I absolutely have to for work.”

That’s funny. In other words, ‘I won’t return to the country that is responsible for my success unless I can make a lot more money out of it.’

I’m no fan of Gwenneth’s, but in all fairness, they do have much more stringent laws over there regarding what photographers can and can’t do, so that’s probably why she said what she said.

Gee, Gwen, would you at least consider going to Brattleboro?

Has the skank done anything worth noting in the past few years? Another has-been whining about her birth country in a vain attempt to keep her name in the National Enquirer.
