Gwyneth Paltrow Is Sort Of a Jerk

Gwyneth Paltrow is in Los Angeles right now to promote Iron Man, and for someone who exudes class and good breeding, she was kind of a bitch about Brad Pitt and his pregnant girlfriend Angelina Jolie:

[T]he Oscar-winner didn’t even play the usual “I-wish-them-the-best” lip service that celebrity exes are famous for spouting.

Asked if she had any well wishes to share with her one-time better half, the Shakespeare In Love star twisted her mouth and pertly pronounced “No!”

gwyneth_iron_man.jpgThis is an about-face from a few years ago when she talked to Diane Sawyer about how how it took five years after she cheated on him before they made peace:

GWYNETH PALTROW: My kind of internal stuff really tripped up that whole relationship and I felt really responsible and also like I was the architect of my own misery and I just made a big mess out of it and…

DIANE SAWYER: Hurt him?

GWYNETH PALTROW: Yeah.

DIANE SAWYER: How long did you suffer when you broke up?

GWYNETH PALTROW: Probably a good five years, I would say. (Laughs) I was very upset for a long, long time about it. I just felt really bad about myself for a long, long time. But I’m so lucky that I spent time with Brad, somebody who was such a good person, especially when I was like such a mess.

DIANE SAWYER: What’s it like when you see him now?

GWYNETH PALTROW: Now, um, really nice, really good. It was nice when we were able to sort of see each other and smile and wish each other well.

It’s been 10 years, girlfriend. Let’s stop acting like a brat about it.

    The poor little whore. Hard to have sympathy with someone whose problems are directly caused by their own actions.

    I was gonna say it’s a good thing she’s got looks cuz she sure ain’t got any brains but… Well just look at her. TRANNY ALERT. Besides it sounds kinda like she’s saying she’s the victim in all of that. But it was her fault right? I guess. Whatever. It seems like for a guy that could have his pick of women Brad sure picks some winners.

    Oh please ! Brad cheated on Jennifer with that other tranny / homewrecker….

    Sheesh — I sound like the neighborhood gossip, which means I either need to get a life or stop visiting this site. The former sounds easier.

    I guess I don’t understand how that makes her a bitch. A real bitch would have TRASHED her ex and his significant other. I think this web site judges people way too harshly (I guess that’s the point, though,right?) Well, truthfully, I respect her for not being fake. It’s hard to find that in Hollywood, wouldn’t you agree? I guess you could argue that she could have been diplomatic, but some people have bad days, and she sure as heck is entitled to one. All in all, I respect her for keeping it real! Funny thing is, I don’t even like her (I am partial to Brad), but even I don’t think she deserves to be called a bitch for this!

    Could be Angelina Jolie that that vehement “NO!” was directed at, not Brad Pitt.

    why should she care about this? what good would it do to sing the praises of welcoming their 50-11th baby? criminey! why is it so bad that she said no?

    She bad mouths America when in Europe, She bad mouth ex boyfriends… she is trash. She should do a sex tape and be done.

    I don’t quite understand why it’s a celebrity’s duty to talk to friends and acquaintances via the press. If she wants to give Brad her good wishes she can do it herself. I see this as being her annoyance with the press being intrusive and irrelevant than any annoyance at Brad. If some third party was asking ME about a 10-years-gone ex’s good news, I’d not be interested in talking to them about it either. It’s not a public discourse issue. I can tell them congratulations my damn self. There’s no need for uninvolved parties to be privy to my feelings.

    It’s like we think these people are incapable of directly interacting and the press is their only option, and therefore they’re bitchy or wrong to not use it. For someone who likes to keep pretty private about her life, I can’t see why she would feel compelled to talk to her exes via tabloids.

    I can’t believe I actually typed the words tranny alert.

    Good on her for being honest. I still don’t like her but whatever. Frankly, I wouldn’t wish a homewrecker who is having babies to “keep her man” well either. Oh, and let’s not forget this is a couple who keeps on having babies yet can’t even establish a home for their kids because they’re too busy working. The Jolie-Pitt or Pitt-Jolie kids are nothing but accessories for the self-centered couple. Those are going to be the most screwed up children in the universe. Yeah, I don’t like Gwyneth Paltrow and I don’t like her husband and I don’t like a lot of things… but I like Braid Pitt and Angelina a whole lot less than all of those other things I don’t like.

    I don’t get how AJ is a bitch/whore/whatever for hooking up with BP when he was with JA, but, you know, kudos to Gwyneth for keepin’ it real? She stepped out on Brad Pitt, so she’s as trashy as Angelina Jolie. At least Angelina Jolie tries to help people. Gwyneth is as snotty as it comes, not to mention pretentious- at the Oscars, she pronounced Anthony Hopkins names as “Antony”, and insists on speaking in some psuedo British accent.

    If it’s been ten years, why bring up Brad Pitt at all. Maybe, like the rest of the general public, she’s sick to death of those two. This is her moment to promote HER movie - leave the old boyfriends out of the equation!

  13. 13 Este May 5th, 2008 at 12:32 pm

    Movie stars get paid millions to make & promote movies. People who really don’t want to be in the lime light don’t become movie stars. Paltrow is a hypocritical snob but then we all know this don’t we. Given the frenzy over Brangelina, it should not have surprised her that someone asked for her comment and she should have been classy and passed on congratulations. Sure the press sometimes ask annoying personal questions but if you can’t handle that with grace, don’t enter the biz? And don’t bash other stars for talking about their private lives & then talk ad nauseum about your pregnancy, post-partum depression, how great you are I mean IT IS being a mother, your father passing away, your latest food fad.

    her relationship with brad pitt just fizzled, it was as simple as that, but him being a gentleman, he let her sound like she was the one who broke it off so as to look better in the press (ie. not look like she was lousy as a girlfriend)… gwyneth is apparently STILL pining for what could have been with brad… wow, what a collosal loser she is… and obviously extrememly jealous that brad is having children with angelina… angelina is a wonderful person with a beautiful spirit and does loads of charity work all over the world… she is fabulous and i love her… as for the phony bitter self-important people like gwyneth paltrow, i wish they’d just crawl under some rock somewhere and just go away forever.

    FromWhat I know, Gwyeneth finds the way Brad and angelina parade their kids around publicly obnoxious. She once said she thinks it seems like they bring the Paparazi with them whereever they go. She has Kids, She seems to keep them out of the public eye as much as she can, I think seeing the way they are with their kids, she doesn’t like it. This Interview she did with sawyer was while Brad was still with Jen, things have changed since then.
