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!"

[RabidBartender]

She isn’t missed.

“Apple”? Seriously.

[Texas Eagle]

...Paltrow left a New York hospital where she had been treated for a gastrointestinal problem.

Yeah. She's full of ****.

[GulfWar1Vet]

Have fun with the Muzzies in the U.K.

Waving....

[Gay State Conservative]

[RabidBartender]

“But feel free to come back and use our superior health care system, why doncha?”

[PzLdr]

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.

[Grizzled Bear]

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

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.

[BBell]

“Are you crazy? I’m not Britney Spears!”

We know that. Your not that bright.

[Kozak]

I’ll make sure to boycott all her cr#p as well.

[Nea Wood]

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.

[Dahoser]

Oh my, Lady Gwyneth is staying away. The horror.

[trublu]

“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.’

[navymom1]

“But feel free to come back and use our superior health care system, why doncha?”

DITTOS!! What a plastic, elitest, arrogant, hypocritical halfwit.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

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.

[mathurine]

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

[ssaftler]

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.

[netmilsmom]

Does she do anything anymore?

[LittleMoe]

Lets see how she likes the health care in the UK. Oh I forgot shes a star so gets special treatment!

[mountn man]

Let’s see. She’s an “actress”.

Thats a stretch in the term.

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!"

All this because a photog wanted to take a picture? Why is she so furious? It was her own husband who went nuts.

[silverleaf]

european paparazzi are so much more refined

buh bye- again- gwynnie

[geo40xyz]

‘Gwyneth’ can kiss my &ss. Do the right thing and turn your damn passport in, you un-American bitch.

[mountn man]

hypocritical halfwit.

A little over presumptuous aren't you?

But then, halfwit sounds much better than 1 percent wit.

[mountn man]

Tell us how you really feel. :)

[Clintonfatigued]

Just another Hollywood airhead, albeit a beautiful, cultered one.

[Richard Kimball]

I'd boycott her work, but it would be kind of like boycotting sushi. I'd end up buying the same amount, none.

As to the paparazzi, in the US, Britney ran over a guy's foot, in Europe, uh, what happened to Lady Di(e)?

[mewzilla]

"She told me, 'I won't cross the pond, unless I absolutely have to for work.'

Except for health care apparently.

[mountn man]

I never found her very attractive. Even before I ever heard her political/social leanings.

And hearing her talk, so whiny and monotone.

[mrsmel]

LOL!

[mrsmel]

european paparazzi are so much more refined

Like the "refined" European who shoved in trying to get macabre pictures of the dead Princess Diana.

[IronJack]

she had been treated for a gastrointestinal problem.

Once physicians had extracted her head, the problem went away.

"Worst case of cranial rectitus I've seen since Sean Penn came to the free clinic a coupla years ago," the treating physician reported.

[SouthCarolinaKit]

Whyever did she come to the US for her health care with that wonderful socialized version in England? Phony liberal...

[max americana]

>she has decided not to go back to her home country unless she “absolutely has to”.<

WHAT KIDN OF BOYCOTT IS THAT??? Either stay away COMPLETELY or just plain old shut up, you overrated, pompous b****!

[ReluctantDragon]

Add ms. Paltrow to my celebrity boycott list:

Sean Penn
George Clooney
Tim Robins
Tommy Lee Jones
etc. etc. etc.

She can stay away forever for all I care.

[SeafoodGumbo]

She’ll break her promise and come back just like Alec Baldwin broke his promise and didn’t leave after the ‘00 election.

[CaptainK]

She looks like she has an eating disorder. Maybe that’s why they were so touchy.

[FredHead47]

Who?

I love how these people want to become “famous” and then hate “being famous”.

[Cheapskate]

Oh NO! Gwynith is Boycotting us?I didin't know that

Now my powr wittle feelings are hurt! hehehehehehe!

[BenLurkin]

She's a pretty gal who has made a few bucks along the way ...

(Just speaking for myself might consider forgiving her...if she asked ...)

[bboop]

Well, I just wonder why she wasn’t treated in a hospital in Britain? Maybe the wait was too long. Maybe cuz of the Muzzie docs. And now she blames the US for the paparazzi?? She can STAY in England.

[xc1427]

...more like an “asstress” or asterisk(s), etc. :)

[grey_whiskers]

...Paltrow left a New York hospital where she had been treated for a gastrointestinal problem.

Yeah. She's full of ****. DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!

NO more calls, please.

We have a whiner winner!

Seriously, though, prayers up for her speedy recovery.

Severe gastro problems are NOT fun.

Cheers!

Re: "I won't cross the pond, unless I absolutely have to for work."

Ah the power of the greenback wins out over all.

I recently read that Ms. Paltrow and her sissy-boy hubby are having marital issues (I'll try to find the link).

[television is just wrong]

bye bye

[xc1427]

...maybe their real motive is to become famous for “hating being famous,” or hating those who hate those who are famous...no wonder these people need professional help!!! :)

[grey_whiskers]

(Just speaking for myself might consider forgiving her...if she asked ...)

You mean if she got down on her knees and asked pretty please?

And speaking of the Clintons and of the lovely Gwyneth,
I'll see you and raise you one.

Click on the link.

Cheers!

[Chi-townChief]

In the words of Gwyneth’s former boyfried Brad Pitt: “WILL YOU JUST SHUDDDDDUP!!!!”

[HHFi]

I suspect Gwenny's always hated the fact that she's from America, even though she was born into luxury as the daughter of a famous actress and a movie director and had all the doors opened for her that other people with more talent have to knock down to get a break. Note that she married a Brit, moved to London and even talks in that fake British accent that pretentious Americans adopt to distance themselves from their roots (who else from California refers to a country on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean as "across the pond?" Other than Madonna, of course, whose fake British accent by way of Detroit makes her sound like she's speaking Esperanto.)

Spoiled Anglophilic celebrities like this are constantly badmouthing America because they wish they'd been born in Britain, so they could be real princesses instead of the fantasy princesses they believe themselves to be. Ironically in Gwen's case, if she really were a princess from England, the UK paparazzi would've chased her car into a light pole by now.
