Gwyneth Paltrow: I'm Proud to Be American

Gwyneth Paltrow is "deeply upset" over stories claiming she made anti-American remarks, and tells PEOPLE exclusively that she never said anything against her native country.

"First of all I feel so lucky to be American. When you look at the rest of the world, we're so lucky, and that's something my dad always instilled in me," Paltrow tells PEOPLE. "I feel so proud to be American."

. . .

"I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued and I never, ever would have said that," says the 34-year-old Oscar winner. "I definitely did not say that I think the British are more intelligent and civilized than Americans. I am a New York girl, that's how I always think of myself and see myself."

. . .

"This is what I said. I said that Europe is a much older culture and there's a difference. I always say in America, people live to work and in Europe, people work to live. There are positives in both," says the actress, adding, "Obviously I need to go back to seventh-grade Spanish!"

When a neo-lib Hollyweirdo claims that they love being an American, the "America" they're speaking of is the "North American Union" district of the New World Order.

Translation...Gwyneth Paltrow : "I love being a 'privileged slave' in the North American Union."

I'm not sure, but I think some pictures would help me figure it out. : )

There have been nekkid pictures of her floating around the 'net for years. Too skinny and not a real blond.

You naughty little boy (Brit accent!)

Gwyneth Paltrow has made similar comments in the past. I know because I wrote her off at the time.

I disagree with Sean Hannity...I think she is a good actress, but she has made unequivocal statements about the US and Europe before and in English.

Upshot for Gwyneth: US...bad; Europe...sophisticated.

Oh, to be able to afford Lexus/Nexus....

She's from NYC. We grew up around the corner from one another.

Well, I for one, will give her credit for stating unequivocally that she is proud to be an American. I'll take her at her word. I distrust the media enough to know that they have cooked up some good copy now and then.

Who cares?

You're an airhead and you make lousy movies.

Or at least I've heard your movies were lousy.

I've never watched one and now, since you opened your mouth ala "Ditzy Chix", I doubt that I ever will.

Another limousine liberal that realized too late that nobody wants to hear their damn opinions, they just want them to entertain and shut up.

I loved her in 'Seven.'

Because her head ends up in a box.

So which fruit is she going to name her next kid?

[gridlock]

Her agent is smart. No need for her to go the way of the Dixie chicks.

10% of nothing is nothing.

"I felt so upset to be completely misconstrued..."
You weren't misconstrued...you were quoted.

Mad TV had a skit on the Hicksie Dicks last Saturday night

[toddlintown]

Put her on tour with the Dixie Chicks.

Your post is more bullshitty than her comment.
