We Get It, Gwyneth: America Stinks

Gaunt GOOPmistress Gwyneth Paltrow is at it again! Remember a few years back, when she got in trouble for saying this?

“I love the English lifestyle, it’s not as capitalistic as America. People don’t talk about work and money, they talk about interesting things at dinner.

“I like living here because I don’t fit into the bad side of American psychology. The British are much more intelligent and civilized than the Americans.”

Yeah, Americans are such dumb savages that they’ve made Gwyneth Paltrow rich enough to live well in any country she chooses. What were you thinking, Americans?

Paltrow, realizing she’d just taken a shot at her own gravy train, then backtracked as well as she could in those 7-inch heels she prefers. She insisted she was misquoted, she was “proud to be an American”, and other lies.

And the way you can tell they were lies is that she just keeps saying this stuff:

Gwyneth Paltrow says Spain has “became a second home.”

“It is so different from the United States. It seemed to have a history, and the buildings are years and years and years old. Here in the United States an old building is about 17 (years old), and over there it’s from 500 B.C., it’s incredible,” she tells the Associated Press.

“Also, the way people live over there. They seem to enjoy life a little bit more,” she continued. “They aren’t running around as much as in New York. They enjoy time with the family. They don’t always have their BlackBerry on.”

“Years and years and years old.” Kind of like her. Physically, anyway.

Let’s make a deal, GOOPy: You stay away from America (or at least New York, which you seem to think is the same thing), and we’ll keep staying away from movie theaters with your name on the marquee.

Well, unless Iron Man’s in it. Iron Man’s awesomeness cancels out Gwyneth Paltrow’s utter unawesomeness. Does England have its own Iron Man? Does Spain? Yeah, okay, but their suits of armor can’t even fly without using a catapult, and the landings son una puta.

Pauly Shore Might Sue Sacha Baron Cohen Over Brüno

pauly_shoreEveryone likes to sue Sacha Baron Cohen, but I have to think he didn’t see this one coming. Pauly Shore has contacted his lawyers over a scene from Brüno:

Sacha Baron Cohen is facing more legal woes — comedian Pauly Shore has alleged a scene in new movie Bruno is taken from his film Adopted.

In Bruno, Cohen’s outlandish character collects an African baby out of a box on an airport baggage carousel before turning to the camera and saying, “Angelina’s got one, Madonna’s got one, now Bruno’s got one,” in a gag joking about stars who adopt foreign children.

The funnyman reportedly sent Madonna flowers and a sympathetic note during her recent battle to adopt Malawian Mercy James, to apologize for the skit.

And now director Shore alleges the scene bears a striking resemblance to the trailer and tagline for his new film, Adopted — a comedy about the public’s obsession with celebrity babies.

According to the New York Daily News, Shore has contacted his attorney and is preparing to take legal action against Cohen.

I know what you’re thinking — Pauly Shore can still afford legal bills?

The poor man’s Adam Sandler hasn’t had a hit in ages, and the adoption film in question doesn’t have a release date yet. But even at the height of his popularity in the ’90s, most of the drivel he starred in borrowed heavily from other, more successful movies. Bio-Dome spoofed The Six Million Dollar Man, Apocalypse Now, The Karate Kid, Blue Velvet, and JFK, according to IMDb. And Encino Man’s gags were cringe-worthy parodies of Rocky, Terminator, and Risky Business.

But now we’re supposed to believe that at age 41, Pauly Shore has finally had an original idea for the first time ever, and a far more popular and relevant comedian supposedly stole it from him?

Am I missing the punch line?
