Thanks for the reviews Dianne, Chelsea and Tracey.

 

Tracey, you made me wanna go and see it - I was in doubt due to the critics. But you convinced me that I should see it when it comes here in Denmark. THANKS. :)

If the goal is to hide his connection to the film, a) he could come up with a way more imaginative pseudonym, b) the cat's been out of the bag on this one for months anyway, and c) looks like he really effed up by making it so good it's on the shortlist for an Oscar nomination with his name attached and waved about in the media :P. I feel like I want him to get the nomination and the win mostly just to see him squirm about being so publicly and unavoidably connected to his wife. That'll teach him to be a hypocrite! :P

 

Also, note of annoyance: "Me and Tennessee" is album-only for download on both iTunes and Amazon :dozey:. I WANT to pay for the damn thing, I'm one of those people obsessed with legal downloads, but they're making it rather hard.

 

I can send you the MP3 file if you want - and don't worry I paid for it - haha so it's a legal copy.

Your so welcome, Nancy!!! You have to see it, there is stuff I can't write about that will spoil things, so yes, you will love it. The critics I've seen reviews from America have said good, positive things about the movie:)

 

1. "True Grit," $15 million.

 

2. "Little Fockers," $13.8 million.

 

3. "Season of the Witch," $10.7 million.

 

4. "Tron: Legacy," $9.8 million.

 

5. "Black Swan," $8.4 million.

 

6. "Country Strong," $7.3 million.

 

7. "The Fighter," $7 million.

 

8. "The King's Speech," $6.811 million.

 

9. "Yogi Bear," $6.81 million.

 

10. "Tangled," $5.2 million.

 

 

I believe this is just Fri and Sat results at the box office, 4 of the movies out of the top 5 have been out here for weeks.

Gwyneth Paltrow: City and Country Strong

 

Nice interview. Some recycled answers, some new. Too long to post in full though, lol.

It was cute what she said about Chris on Regis& Kelly.

It cost them about $12.5 million to make the film so technically it's not bad.

:laugh3::laugh3:

 

 

I like the song a lot, too.

Now I wish there was a demo leak with Chris singing like everyone does... :\

 

It's annoying that you can get the song only when buying the whole album.

And so is that apparently the movie won't start here until June.

They're making it really hard for people to maintain legal ways!!

 

I would love to hear Chris sing that......

 

Ugh, if we ever got to hear Chris perform the song somehow...:bomb:

 

And I agree to what was said earlier about the odds of it winning an Oscar--I think it's somewhat likely it'll be one of the five to be nominated, but I don't really think it'll win. For my own selfish (and weird) fascination and bewilderment with their relationship, though, I think it would be really interesting to see how they handle that situation...if they handle it at all rather than just ignore it and not even have Chris show up to the ceremony, which I think is likely :dozey:

Actually I've seen bad reviews :(

 

Metacritic ( based on 24 reviews of newspapers and magazines ) gave the movie 44 out of 100 ( bad)

 

Rotten tomatoes ( based on 77 reviews from all the world ) gave it a 17% with audience liking it at 50%

 

IMBD based on votes gave them 5.0 out of 10

 

Domestically the movie has raised 7.5 million with a production budget of 15 million . The soundtrack is doing quite good over itunes i think

Paltrow Sends 'Thoughts And Prayers' To Cousin Giffords

 

 

GWYNETH PALTROW has reached out to the family of her cousin, congresswoman GABRIELLE GIFFORDS, who is in a critical condition in hospital after a shooting in Arizona on Saturday (08Jan11).

 

The Hollywood actress is a relation of the politician who was gunned down as she met voters at a store in the state. Six people were killed in the attack and Giffords remains seriously ill after she was shot in the head.

 

Paltrow, who is related to Giffords through her late grandfather, has never met her cousin, but has released a statement sending her best wishes at such a difficult time.

 

The statement reads, "Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as well as the other victims of this horrible act of senseless violence."

 

One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush is also linked to one of the victims of the shooting - she is the cousin of nine-year-old Christina Green who was killed. Bush has addressed the atrocity in a post on her Twitter.com page, writing, "Devastating... There are no words to explain what my cousin's family is going through in Arizona. How can this be? Violence is never the answer

My sister's and I are going to see Country Strong tonight! I can't wait to hear "Me And Tennessee"! :D

My sister's and I are going to see Country Strong tonight! I can't wait to hear "Me And Tennessee"! :D

I remember I was on Gwyneth's Wikipedia page last week for something or another related to Country Strong and I saw for the first time that she had a cousin in the House of Representatives. I said like "oh wow, that's kind of cool," but little did I know that second cousin would become the top news story for the most horrible, tragic reason a few days later :sad:. I saw this on CNN today and was reminded of me seeing the name last week and not thinking a thing about it, and now her name is the most talked about in the country.

It's only in the credits, but you will LOVE the movie................

I am going AGAIN tomorrow with my sissy:D

 

We actually didn't end up seeing it! My entire family caught the flu! :\

Gwyneth was on the Ryan Seacrest Show yesterday morning. I lucked out and heard it live, but now it's online.

 

It was cute and worth a listen. She had a funny story about Moses, and of course, the privacy of her and Chris in public.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Why do so many people hate on her? - EW

Twenty years ago, I had never heard the name “Spence.” But in the late 1990s, as Gwyneth Paltrow blossomed from an up-and-coming actress into a radiant young movie star, I began to hear it a lot. “She went to Spence” is usually how it got said, that telltale syllable spat out with a special emphasis, a little knowing curlicue of disdain. That accusatory line became a kind of celebrity take-down mantra, the equivalent of the line about Madonna you always heard at parties in the ’80s: “She can’t sing — it’s all tricks done in the studio.” (Yeah, right.) The Spence School is the elite private school for girls located on E. 91st St. in Manhattan. It’s where Gwyneth Paltrow got her education, and for a lot of people, it was a perfect symbol of the floating-on-air ritzy princess bubble in which she grew up. The daughter of Blythe Danner! Raised amid the stately brownstone fortresses of the Upper East Side! With Steven Spielberg as her family friend! The insufferableness of it all!!

 

Let’s be clear: A lot of people, including me, adore Gwyneth Paltrow. She may have picked a bum script when she signed on to do Country Strong, but there was nothing fake about her performance as a troubled country singer who can’t stop hitting the bottle. (When she finally went on stage for her big comeback concert, her singing wasn’t just good — she was able to sing in character, like a true pop star.) She had a triumph on Glee, and I’m full of anticipation about watching her host Saturday Night Live this weekend. The first time she hosted that show, back in 1999, she proved a brilliant sketch chameleon, chancy and game and hilarious as hell. I expect her to use the night, once again, as a showcase for the sheer playfulness of her talent.

 

And yet, am I off-base in perceiving that a lot of people, to this day, have an incredible chip on their shoulder about Gwyneth Paltrow? Here are a couple of random comments posted on my review of Country Strong:

 

“Now, please, can Gwyneth Paltrow just go away?”

 

“Gwynnie, judging by the box office receipts, the American public finds you as revolting as you find the USA. Payback. And please stop cramming the fact that you can sing as well as any average choir member down our throats. Glee, this stink-bomb, and now Glee again. UGH Stop the INSANITY! You are very much reviled and detested. Now just go away, and take Aniston and the Kardashians with you.”

 

I now have to ask: Why the hate? Why do so many entertainment junkies seem to feel that Gwyneth Paltrow, one of our finest actresses, is somehow an imposition, a girl on a pedestal who needs to be knocked down?

 

I think it has something to do with how celebrity itself got tawdrier and more exposed — dunked into the tabloid muck — around the time that Paltrow was becoming a movie star. In another era, the fact that she’d had a privileged upbringing would hardly have been a strike against her; that Blythe Danner was her mom would have made her seem like royalty, like a latter-day Grace Kelly. No one ever resented Michael Douglas for his vintage Hollywood movie-star dad. It only added to his allure. And as far as the Upper East Side goes, there was a kind of fake-proletarian trendiness to this rejection of her Gossip Girl upbringing, as if Gwyneth would have been a “better person” had she come from Kansas and been discovered at a soda-shop counter.

 

But it was Gwyneth Paltrow’s semi-misfortune to rise to her glory right at the dawn of the “Stars — They’re Just Like Us!” era, when our whole relationship to the famous had descended from idolization into a complex, at times almost jealous rivalry. We now all wanted to be famous so much ourselves that we began to think of movie stars not simply as role models but as competitors. Our competitors. And that made Paltrow, in effect, a princess-celebrity with an Unfair Advantage. Who can forget the run-up to her Academy Award win for Shakespeare in Love? It was back in the early days of the relentless, all-consuming, from-December-to-Oscar awards-show juggernaut season, a state of affairs that we now take for granted. But Gwyneth, showered with accolades, found herself doing endless variations on the same acceptance speech, always paying tribute to her late grandfather Buster. By the time she thanked Buster in luminous tears from the Academy stage, the Best Actress award had come to seem like a coronation. One more reason to resent her!

 

Since then, if you’re a Gwyneth-basher, the sins have just kept piling up. She married a rock star, which is about as close as we now come to royalty (he’s even British, for God’s sake, and writes pretty songs). She named her first child Apple (okay, that was a bit much). And she started her own Website, goop.com, devoted to matters of taste. Her taste. In food and travel and health and consumer indulgence. Kind of like a personalized In Style with a movie-star imprimatur. If you look past the backbiting, GOOP is actually a winsomely elegant and inviting site, but to the haters, especially those in the media, it was all too easy to portray as glorified navel-gazing. The insufferableness of it all!

 

To me, Gwyneth Paltrow’s biggest image problem right now derives from the fact that she took time, and attention, away from her movie career to raise her family. Don’t get me wrong: I have no problem with that at all. But in Hollywood terms, she took her eye off the ball. And she hasn’t always made the best choices. She’s twinkly flirtatious perfection in the first Iron Man, and her performance as the furious, eroticized, self-tormenting Sylvia Plath in Sylvia (2003) was a woefully under-recognized piece of great acting. It was the one time I felt that Gwyneth-bashing had crossed over into the perception — or, in this case, misperception — of her art. But since then, interesting mediocrities like Proof and Running with Scissors and now Country Strong have undeniably dimmed her star a bit. She needs another Big Role, one that can reconfigure her image as an actress. She needs a movie like Blue Valentine — or Black Swan. Perhaps her old executive muse Harvey Weinstein, with his mojo now back in full swing, can help to find that project for her.

 

Until then, I’ll watch anything and everything that Gwyneth Paltrow does — knowing, as all her true fans do, that she’s one of the best things that Hollywood has going. Which may mean that she’s destined to continue getting scorn simply for Being Gwyneth.

 

Very interesting article.

^Aw yay, something that's realistic and not snide and full of snark! :cheesy:

The writer just took the words right out of my mouth.

 

I also think Brad Pitt also one of the reason she gets this much hate.

She sounds like a good mum! Moses & Apple are lucky to have such loving parents.

 

Although I think it should read 'rouse' Moses from his sleep, rather than 'arouse'. That means something very different!!!

:laugh3::laugh3:

Hi!

I liked the new Goop!

She has nicely avoided mentioning Chris by writing "Thursday is the day, when I´m not picking up kids from school! :laugh3:

I thought Chris was noticeably absent from this post, but then I realized the subject was being a mom, not being a mom and wife. And of course, we knew she wouldn't mentioin him !

she made it! apparently she was stuck in London at first due to the weather:
