BRITS 'MORE INTELLIGENT' THAN AMERICANS, SAYS GWYNETH
Hollywood royalty Gwyneth Paltrow may not be too popular at the Oscars this year after snubbing the US in favour for life across the pond.
The star of films like Shallow Hal and Shakespeare in love, Gwyneth, 34, told a Portuguese newspaper that "the British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans".
Her love of the Brits has a lot to do with the small island's dinnertime habits, saying "People talk about interesting things at dinner - not about work and money".
However her comments haven't gone down well in America, where radio stations across the country have been discussing the actress's comments. One caller was enraged by the remarks, saying "If she feels that way we are far better off without her".
The Oscar winning star added, "I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology. It's not as capitalistic as America"
.
Gwyneth currently lives with British rocker and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin with their children, daughter Apple and baby boy Moses in their north London home.
Her new film, running with scissors, is out in the UK next month.

How on earth would this woman know what the American family discusses at dinner
while she generalizes away with her pratter of ignorance in order to justify
her prejudices?
I must admit I don't name children "Apple" or "Moses", and I don't submit
photos of myself with a paste-on bra hanging out of an anorexic sternum to the
world at large, entertaining the narcistic delusion that people are impressed
somehow--- because they are stupid and uninteresting, unlike Ms. Paltrow.
Our family might discuss the Yale art collection, or the local Gauguin exhibit,
or the latest psychiatric behavioral research, or a word's meaning in Russian
or Latin language. Definately world politics. WE do not get loaded at dinner or
show up nude as her crowd is known for! Nor do WE worry about stolen porn
films, or gay husbands. WE do not invite "Unacceptable Rocker Types" to dinner
( something WE have in common with Vladmir Putin!), either Ms. Paltrow, so I
can safely deduce that you have no idea what an intelligent American is,
regardless of whether it is brunch or dinner!
