I love GP. I don't care what she says about the U.S. because she has a right to- she a citizen.

At first I was like "WTF?" when I read that she said that all americans talk about at dinner is money. That makes us sound so superficial. Well, our celebrities may be but most of our ordinary citizens aren't. But so what if we talk about money. At my dinner table my parents talk about $$ for like five minutes before they go "How was work/ how was school?" Maybe americans talk about $ because they have to! My parents talk about it because it's an issue! We've got bills to pay!

 

But what she said/ or did not say confirms that this country is going downhill fast, in it's culture, it's politics, etc.

There's not much love for the U.S. these days. :\

 

i agree with the last part.

So I'm not allowed to say something about it because I`m not?

If you knew anything about Germany you'd be welcome to critize it as well.

 

 

Obviously England and the U.S. are not the same, I totally get her for saying that but when she said sorry it all got me going 'Ewwwu, Americans and their disgusting pride'. It's so clichee and ridicolous that people actually care about her saying that and only find it alrigth after she says 'Oh, well no really I love it here, I'm so proud to be American.'

My dearest Gwyneth,

 

I am so relieved that you have taken back your disparaging comments about our native America, and that you are, in fact, "proud to be an American." The fact that you really don't think us all less interesting and less civilized than Europeans comes as a great relief to us all.

 

In Europe, "people don't talk about work and money," you are reported to have said to a Portuguese magazine during an interview. "They talk about interesting things at dinner."

 

Oh, how nice for them.

 

And even though you have since chalked up those comments to poor Spanish language skills on your behalf — which is completely understandable considering the reporter most likely speaks Portuguese — I'm encouraging the American movie-going public, which consists of oh, I don't know, about 100 million people, not to take your comments personally.

 

After all, you weren't talking about them anyway, were you?

 

I mean, how many dinner parties have you been to at the average American home?

 

In light of the fact that you moved to London with your hubby (Chris Martin of Coldplay) a few years ago because you didn't want to raise your precious Apple in America — and that you were educated at private schools in pricey Manhattan with some of the country's most famous celebrities as friends of your parents, I'd bet not many.

 

You've never been to my home for dinner, and I'd bet you've never been to the homes of 99 percent of the people reading this column right now. But that's OK; you're not invited.

 

Therefore, you must have been talking about the people you regularly go to dinner with, like, other celebrities, who believe everything they talk about is "interesting."

 

But here's a news flash for you and the rest of your expatriate friends from the Hollywood community: The days of our unconditional love for all things celebrity are over.

 

We ordinary Americans have the power to make or break a movie, a song, a TV show, an actor, a singer, a TV journalist, a radio announcer and even a blogger. And we ordinary Americans are finding celebrities of all creeds less interesting to talk about during dinner.

 

And in the end, that will be your problem.

I hope you posted that just as a reference for how stupid Americans would react. I mean, my brain can't comprehend you quoting Fox News as a legitimate source.

 

And I think it's obvious: Gwyneth meant what she said. She prefers England to New York and really isn't particularly proud to have been raised in America. And that's OK. But she's a freaking retard for saying it.

Well actually she said that she did NOT say that and she loves the US and is proud to be American ect.

This whole things is crazy - a while back the press reported she'd said how dirty and terrible the UK was and how much she preferred the US... I wish the media would just make up their minds which way round!

 

It's all just media hype - twisted words into something sensational, so everyone would get up in arms, as they have. The supposed 'quote' about preferring UK company was from a Portuguese newspaper, who didn't even interview her. They took something she said in Spanish at a press conference and twisted it into something more interesting - or at least more sensational.

 

I can't believe people are so bothered - it's just the media doing what they are best at!

So I'm not allowed to say something about it because I`m not?

 

 

You can say what you want about America, it doesn't matter. Freedom of speech, and all that jazz. :rolleyes: I meant that she had a right to say what she did b/c she has a perspective of how it is here AND in England and she made her choice, the end.

Well actually she said that she did NOT say that and she loves the US and is proud to be American ect.

 

Oh get off it. She meant exactly what she said, it's just that now she's being called on it and has to back off.

Err, Tom, I thought that you didn't want to discuss Gwyneth, as it was just sooooooooo stupid and not related to Coldplay? Isn't that what you've been lecturing us about for the past week?

 

For someone who's not interested in Gwyneth, you seem to have joined in all the Gwyneth-related threads so far!!

 

Perhaps you really do want to talk about her after all! :P :laugh3: :rolleyes:

Ha yuck! I'm sure you're happy with how clever you are.

 

If these threads are going to pop up, I'm at least going to inject them with a dose of reality.

Tom, I didn't used to post much in the Gywneth threads, but you make me want to keep posting!

 

It must be the reality you inject into the thread that keeps me coming back for more! ;) :P
