Fish Sticks Speaks
I've always imagined Gwyneth Paltrow to be a high-maintenance pain in the arse. I may not be far off the mark:
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.
Thank you, Ms. Paltrow, for throwing the pearls of your acting genius in front of us American swine for so long. I hope the millions of US dollars you made (and continue to make) here are well-spent in civilized, intelligent Europe.
Somewhere, an airhead prom is missing its queen.

If the DSM contained photos of patients, it would look like a who’s who list of Hollywood. Paltrow merits inclusion for a number of entries after naming her child Apple and considering the advice of Madonna “good”. Perhaps: histrionic personality disorder with a dash of narcissism?
Paltrow was born into a family that was well connected in Hollywood. Absent her fortuitous genealogy, she would likely be a waitress in L.A. with a delusional ambition to be on the big screen.
On a side note: how is Madonna qualified to advise someone in “how to say no”? I’m not sure there is much the Material Girl has said no to.
