Gwyneth Paltrow So Desperate For Oscar She Goes 'Country Strong'

Oscars are more often distributed to women in Hollywood who play to the downfall of their species, rather than to its nobility. Or, in the case of Gwyneth Paltrow, winning an Oscar for playing a prepubescent boy in “Shakespeare in Love.” Gwyneth Paltrow has her eye on another Oscar, and she may be onto something. She’s playing a country-western singer with an addiction in the soon to be released, “Country Strong.”

The problem with Paltrow taking on the role of a troubled country-western singer is that she’s vying for an award portraying the very people she has openly expressed contempt. That being hard working people who live in the states she flies over traveling to New York and Los Angeles.

In 2006 Paltrow, talking to a Portuguese newspaper said, “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. 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.”

Elitist snobbery like that knows no bounds when unchecked, so when you’re a Hollywood star it’s easy to follow up your asshat view with a second musing on your country.

In 2009, while in Spain doing a TV show about food for PBS, she told the Spanish press this “(Spain) is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C., it’s incredible,” said Paltrow. “Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more. They aren’t running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family.”

Gwyneth Paltrow wraps her self in pretty clothes and names he children after fruit, while conveniently forgetting that without all that filthy-capitalist-American-money, she’d be known only as that waify blonde girl who dated Brad Pitt instead of the snotty blonde girl who married a prepubescent Muppet. When Hollywood stars aim to enrich themselves by portraying the very people they hold in contempt, its time movie goers start calling “Bull Shit!”
