Brad Pitt is only a 14th seed? Is there no justice in this world?
To be fair, his hypocrisy has always been situational. We can’t decide whether Brad likes gays enough to donate money to their political causes, or hates them enough to mock them in his video tribute to Julia Roberts. And Pitt can’t decide if he’s enough of a children’s nutrition crusader to give up the residual checks from those Pringle’s ads he shot in the ’90s.
Gwyneth Paltrow as a #4 seed promises to be a much bigger contender. This Park Avenue Princess hasn’t said an authentic word in her life. First there was the PETA apology for wearing fur in an ad for a luxury brand that, well … sells a lot of fur.
And then, despite claiming to be a 15-year vegetarian (which is sort of like being a 33rd-degree Mason), she issued no such mea culpa for all those turkey-burger recipes in her “GOOP” website e-mails. Ditto for her snakeskin and alligator accessories. And for her Christmas gift-giving list, which is chock full of animal-rights horror stories. And don’t even get me started about all the goose fat she’s eating in Paris.
If it were up to me, this match-up would be a runaway rout. But it’s not up to me. Create the upset if you want, but the victor in this head-to-head will face off against the Madonna-Will Smith winner. It could get ugly.
This poll — and today’s seven other Round 1 matchups — will be open for 24 hours. Updated Brackets will be posted tomorrow.

Paltrow? Now there’s the name of a vegetable if I ever heard of one. What did I just say? Vegidigible? Excuse me, Waiter! Can I get some Paltrow on my salad?
Those two are pretty tame by my personal standards. They seems more misguided than hypocritical. Unlike many others who just talk, Brad Pitt put money where his mouth is.
I went reluctantly with Gwyneth Paltrow just for the whole misguided Vegan thing. She’s more “Airhead” than “Douche” material.
One word says it all:
GOOP
At least Brad Pitt is doing useful things these days.
I hate her so much, and her hilarious attempts to rationalize the fact that she’s disliked with the public’s inability to understand her gift of GOOP just makes my blood boil… and talk like an 80 year old woman.
Gotta go with the fake vegetarian.
A rout it is!
I don’t know why, but I find Paltrow’s antics amusing more than annoying. She’s so detached from reality that she doesn’t see it; she’s just a flake. Every time Brad Pitt does something charitable, there has to be some sort of film crew to document it. That smacks of hypocrisy.
Brad has at least done something productive. Gwyn…not so much.
Paltrow. For the following reasons:
Only made it because of her dad
Married a wanna-be “rocker”
Has bannana boobs
I cannot stand Pitt’s crap, but at least he is doing good in New Orleans and donating money. I do not like this crap that he is a great actor. GOOP by far is a bigger douche than he is with her fur wearing, diet advice, anything coming out of her mouth is BS stuff. Plus, her husband is a douche. She does not like America, but she made her money off of Americans.
Gwynnie.
Though I still can’t hate Gwynnie entirely, I have more respect for Pitt than I do Paltrow as an actor and a human being. Also, he at least he doesn’t stick his foot in his mouth EVERY time he opens it.
I gave Pitt a pass on the Pringles ad too, for reasons that I won’t restate here.
GOOPy Gwynnie gets my vote.
Paltrow.
The goopy one
Goopie.
Paltrow because of GOOP, enough said!
GOOP! GOOP! GOOP!
Really, Brad is just a pretty boy shill for whatever Angelina wants him to do this week, while he is waiting to shoot his GOOP in her….Paltrow , on the other hand, comes up with her stupidity all by her lonesome, and making people READ her GOOP…She should be held responsible…
Gwyneth. I don’t even know how she promote PETA while claiming turkey, foie gras and leather are okay.
Paltrow. She should stick to what she is best at: making bad films.
I had to go with Pitt. Anyone that stiff arms PETA is OK by me, even if she hypocritical.
Paltrow because she’s more out there than Pitt.
Paltrow. This is the first award she’s actually earned.
paltrow. definitely paltrow. she won’t eat the steak, but she will sure as sin put that steak in her calfskin handbag. did you watch spain on the road? with the beans? oh no, i don’t eat ham. what’s that? beans cooked with ham, yeah, i’ll eat those…
Ms. Paltrow does not seem to be the minion that Mr. Pitt seems to be.
Paltrow. Consistency pays off against Pitt’s occasional idiocy.
Gwyneth “Let Them Eat Goose Fat” Paltrow
Paltrow because I am 100% sure she can tell the difference between fake and real fur.
Paltrow. She annoys me. As stated above, she never says a real thing.
My Christmas list is completely pro-animal and includes giving Gwyneth to North Korea or Venezuela.
Ah, Battle Of The Exes! (For you youngsters, Brad ‘n Gwynnie were once upon a time Hollywood’s It Couple in the Pre-Jen Age. If there’s anything positive I could say about Princess Gwyneth is that she really is long since over Brad.)
Aaaaaannnnd thus far, it’s the Gwynstyr with 87% of the vote. As Minnow said, this will be the first award she’s ever EARNED.
Paltrow because Pitt gets a pass for that Katrina help out but that goodwill has officially been all used up. Better not screw up anymore Pitt or I’m voting for you next year.
Gwynnie. Just because I am fed up with the holier than thou vegetarians–especially when they’re fake! Besides anyone who puts their money and time behind NOLA is okay with me.
This was really a toss up – but common, at least Brad Pitt is nice to look at, all Gwyneth has contributed is GOOP. ‘Nuf said.
I voted for Gwynth.
As much as I loathe Brad, I have to go with holier than though Gwyneth. She knows what is best for all of us and isn’t afraid to let us know.
Goophead.
I actually liked Paltrow (or at least had a neutral opinion) until GOOP, now the mere mention of her name makes me gag.
I’d be willing to bet GOOP has convinced herself she was born in London by now.
I voted for Paltrow because I hate Coldplay. I’m dropping all pretense of fairness.
Brad Pitt–throwing one to the underdog. Neither of these will make it far, I don’t think.
Paltrow. If there’s one person in those brackets I hate more than Katy Perry, it has to be this stuck up bitch.
Paltrow.
HOW in the world do such stupid people get to be famous????? Does she think reptile skin comes from a rare, exotic potato???
Oh, I think fake vegans every day…
Bradley, although it looks like he’s getting trounced. At least Gwyneth isn’t a lying whoredog. (why yes, I did say that)
Pitt. The larger the appeal, the more idiotic the person.
Gwen. It’s quality AND quantity for her.
I only picked Gwen because for the next round I want to be able to shout, “GOOP!” like it was the last game for Notre Dame, and Rudy finally got to take the field.
Ugh. As much as I want to see brad go down I have to vote for goop… ugh. these two should have just stayed together and moved to some remote island away from all of us.
Omg I hate Gwyneth Paltrow. She’s too into herself, and also stupid. I’m voting for her.
Gwynnie. Brad’s more dumb than deceitful.
This category is great – especially given that despite the gift of Hollywood nepotism, GOOPy Girl wouldn’t be anywhere without the ’90s pap publicity of AdoptoDad.
