Gwyneth Paltrow is angry
By The Blemish, 11:46 AM on Jul 20, 2009, 62 Comments
Gwyneth Paltrow is upset that Scarlett Johansson is bumping her out of all the promos for Iron Man 2. Paltrow feels she’s being overlooked. While a spokesman for Paltrow says this is not the case and that her character, Pepper Potts, will be revealed later on, you know Paltrow is taking the cover of EW and poking holes in Scarlett’s face with her finger. From the NYDN:
“Gwyneth was afraid she’d be upstaged by Scarlett and not being in the campaign was the final straw,” a source said. “She is furious she’s been left out.”
I agree. Paltrow should be pissed. Just because Scarlett is younger, hotter, sexier, dressed in leather and every man’s fantasy, doesn’t mean Gwyneth shouldn’t be there too. Wow. I couldn’t even write that without cracking up. Maybe she can vent in her next GOOP newsletter. Right before she gives the home remedies she uses to naturally rejuvenate her vagina.
Gwyneth’s first leading movie role was in Shakespeare in Love, where she pretended to be a man. They don’t give those roles to the hotness. She is perfect as Pepper Potts, but it’s a background role. In the background. Not on the magazine cover.
I agree 100%, exactly what I was going to say.
Oh how it must hurt. Who do you use to promote your movie? A skinny, freckled pale woman with straw like hair, who constantly whines and complains or an absolute goddess with a glamours body and pleasant disposition, who didn’t complain,and is as smart as she’s beautiful
Geez I feel so sorry for these hard working poor girls. Is this a joke? because worry about them is.
After being on set for this movie and seeing both in-person, I have to disagree with everyone here. Scarlett is SO MUCH uglier than Gwyneth in real life! And Gwyneth is a LOT nicer. I really don’t see people’s obsession with Scarlett. I like Gwyneth a lot better as a person and as an actress. I do feel bad for her…
They’ve both had a lot of work done to their faces. At least Gwyneth’s nose doesn’t resemble a pig’s. As long as they keep the focus on Scarlett’s boobs and not that jaw…
Goddess yes, glamours yes..err… but “smart” is a bit much
Gwyneth can at least act…Scarlett umm not so much!
She can see pretty good also!
Scarlett J. has great hair, a great body, but she is as homely as a mud fence! Take a GOOD look at her face…there is nothing beautiful about it…all the heavy makeup she has on is the only reason she is presentable, and the hair and body give the illusion that she is beautiful. Stick Scarlett next to a truly beautiful actress, and her face blends into the woodwork. She reminds me more of a chipmunk with lipstick on than anything else. The only actress who is homlier is Tori Spelling. Scarlett is beautiful compared to Spelling, but so is Rosie O. No, I am not jealous of Scarlett. I don’t see how she ever gets hired when compared to Megan Fox, who IS beautiful!
Scarlett is in a whole other league. She is younger, not riding on the coat tails of her parents as far as Hollywood actors go – Gwyneth just needs to get over herself. She won the golden statue, but to me the role was mediocre and I just touted it as being not too much competition that year as far as movies up for the award.
Scarlet at least can be seen in different movies and her characters believable. GOOP is the same in EVERY movie.
I would advertise SJ over GP any day.
Maggie,
She had competition the year she won the Oscar.
That Oscar should have gone to Cate Blanchett for “Elizabeth”.
Umm yea, i love Scarlett and all but sex appeal is all she has. I love that Gwyneth gives off that serious, sophisticated look. Shes suppose to be a refined assistant not some slut that wants to sleep with him. I’ll be very disappointed if shes changed. (I need good acting in this film not playboy bunnies)
I think the writer of this post is acting like a huge @$$hole. Gwyneth was in the original- she was there from the start. And I’m sorry, Scarlett thinks she’s God’s gift to Hollywood, but you know what? Scarlett’s good at being Scarlett. And when she’s not good at that, she shows some cleavage to distract. Don’t agree? Well tell me, how many Oscar’s has Scarlett won? Yea. That’s what I thought. Not to mention, how ironic that there are catfights wherever Scarlett treads….
Why these ugly comments. People aren’t on earth to compete with each other. Everyone is unique and special and not to be compared on superficialities.
Just what we dont need, another wretched gossip page that tells lies, half truths, and misquotes anyone in the public eye. May all those working at The Blemish get The Plague!
Amen to that Gussie
Gwyneth is a has been. Ive never been a big fan anyway although she can carry a tune.
If any of this is even true….Gweneth needs to accept that she has been out of the public eye for a while…She focused on her family …nothing wrong with that..but things change…
Paltrow, has learned that you can’t tick off 1/2 of the country, with anti American comments, and survive at the box office. It ain’t gonna happen unless you are a very very good actor/actress.
Saying basically it made you sick to see so many flags and patriotism after 9/11 isn’t and didn’t sit well with most Americans. And…she didn’t just voice anti American thoughts once she did it a second time too.
The producers want to SELL their movie, and probably didn’t want the public to turn against it because of the comments she’s made in the past.
It’s all about the money.
This has NOTHING to do with being away to raise her family and not in the public eye recently. It’s all about her comments and the producers not willing to risk bad box office because of her association with their product.
Maggie,
She had competition the year she won.
That Oscar should have gone to Cate Blanchett for “Elizabeth”
I would like to know when talent was replaced by looks.
These actors need to join the real world….the real world does not give a **** Quit the crying!!!!
Who cares what Hollywoodies think, anyway? They are actors, not experts in foreign policy. Ignore them.
GP will outshine anyone who’s standing next to her. She doesn’t need to worry. And, she can sing to me all day long – I loved her duet with Huey Lewis.
On her own, SJ is attractive, but when GP enters the room she disappears. Glamor beats trashy every time!
Who Gwenyth should be mad at and embarassed is Mario Batali’s behavior in Coral Gables at he Biltmore in an event where the kind and queen of spain were present!!!! But she will reap the benefits of Spain, On The Road Again!
I wonder how much of this Paltrow anger is true. Gwyneth Paltrow is a marvelous actress, and quite lovely and different from the usual Hollywood crop. She has no need to get embroiled in something like this. I do agree with Lizdee, however. Her unAmerican remarks and her very liberal stance do create a negative for much of the country. It’s one thing for entertainers to support the candidates of their choice, but I do remember the hate rhetoric, and I write off those who engage in it, and there are a lot of them: Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Gwyneth Paltrow, many more. Talented as they are, I can do without them. Why would I look to actors to shape my political views?
I am sure that when Gwynneth was the “in thing” (quite a few years ago now!!), there was some older actress b*tching about how she wasn’t getting the covers etc. Face it Ms Paltrow, you’re not the IT girl any more – that’s what happens when you grow up, get married, have a family. Get over yourself – you wouldn’t want to be Scarlett anyway, she can’t go anywhere – you have kids to consider, your life is way better than hers!
You are all morons. Every last one of you. Of course none of this crap is true. I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that such a large percentage of “the great unwashed” believes this nonsensical garbage
OH YES, YOU KNOW IT ALL. YOU MUST BE THE QUEEN OF MORONS. LOL/ DON’T READ IT AND WE WON’T HAVE TO BOW TO YOUR IGNORANCE. FOOL
SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANGRY SHE IS NAMING HER NEXT CHILD PRUNE JUICE
yes..and you know what happens with too much prune juice…you get a lot of s**t.
I dont believe a lick of this but non the less Sorry but Gwyneth Paltrow will always be a better actress, then Scarlett Johanson will ever be.
No…please read my comments you will change your mind. Gwen is just not as talented as Scarlett..
It is true…Gwyneth is a has been, and although she has a very few accomplishments/credits to her name, I believe it is due mostly to her parents. She has not been cast for many parts as she is just not that talented and her looks are very bland with her freckles, very pale complexion, very straight and wispy hair and sagging ear lobes. I am sure there will be other opportunities, just it should be behind-the-scenes, possibly a voice over for animated films.
Gweneth Paltrow has every right to be pissed off! She is and always will be the better actress! the only thing that Scarlett has going for her is her looks she will always be a d-list actress. I can’t even remember anything worth watching that she has been in. So Garry just shut up!!! It’s very plain to se why you are so enamoured with Scarlett… YOUR A MAN.
Gwennie’s getting old by Hollywood standards she should play motherly roles now like her Mom does.
Actually, Maggie, Gwynweth stole the Oscar from Cate Blanchette! (Meryl Streep & Emily Watson were contenders, too, and more deserving than Paltrow!)– Same with the whole film: Shakespeare in Love robbed Saving Private Ryan that year, too…
Gwyneth is a whiner and always has been… And it’s not Scarlett’s fault what the producers decide to do with regards to promotion… She isn’t in charge of that. She doesn’t make those choices…
In my opinion she got her Oscar because of her mommy and daddy not her talent. She whines all the time and is way too self absorbed. How about she gets a real job.
I think that Gwyn is a great actress and has been for many years. I can see how it would feel being tossed in the backseat after sitting up front for as long as she has. But it is like when you are an only child and all of a sudden..you get a baby bro or sis…you will be just as loved and important..but you have to take the backseat! If it is true, she isn’t getting the kudos she deserves..than power to you Gwyn…stand up for who you are..a real woman!!!
I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED WITH ACTORS LIKE GP AND KATE HUDSON SINCE THEY COME FROM WEALIHY ACTOR FAMILIES AND DO NO HAVE TO WORK OR RAISE OFF THE POOLSIDES LOUNGE CHAIR THEN NOT ONLY MAKE IT THEY DO IT THEY OLD WAY WITHOUT USING IT PAVE FAME THEIR OWN FROM THE BACK SLOWIS MU PACED CAREERS IS TO BE PROUD OF THEY COULD OF DONE LIKE RUMOR WILLIS OR MANY OTHERS IS SMART NOT TO THEY DID IT THE SMARTER COOLER MORE DIFFICULT STILL THE WAY THEY DID IT LETS THE FANS BUILD A OPINION THAT IS NIT BIASED UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THE ONLY DECENT CAREER HOPE THAT WORKS SINCE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT GO TO SEE THE FILMS DO HOLD IT AGAINST THEM IF THEY ARE KIDS THAT COME FROM STARS THEY HOLD A OPINION WITHOUT GIVING A REAL CHANCE BUT THE WAY GP DID IT IS STILL MORE DIFFICULT LUCKY SHE HAD REAL TALUNT THAT SHOWED THRU SHE ROCKS

I SENT THRU POST SAYING OPPS SORRY ABOUT THE MISTYPES CASE IT DID NOT GO THRU RETYPED ANOTHER VERSION
Well Kate, too bad in all 3 versions not only do you misspell several words but you also SCREAM every word with capital letters.
This issue is waaaaaay too important to be entrusted to AOL sycophants. Paltrow v.s. Johansson should be determined at a think tank, or maybe skipped right up to The U.S. Supreme Court.
P O O R little rich girl problems. Most of us live in the REAL world and do not care.
SAVANAH HAS SPOKEN !!! EVERYBODY KISTEN TO HER !!! SHE IS THE BE ALL AND END ALL. (THE HEAD MORON) LOL
This was a nasty post. Tell me, what does your mum use to rejuvenate her vagina?
I can see why Scarlet Johansson (the younger femme fatale in black leather) is being pushed more then Gwyneth (who’s a supporting character anyway). Who should we focus on marketing the buxom redhead that every male from adolescence to their fathers in the audience (target demos) wants to see, or should we go with the Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover in a tasteful business suit giving us her patented cold half smile. That’s the business and it’s about hyping the movie and selling tickets. Sometimes you get to be first string other times you just have to warm the bench!
i understand that Gwyneth feels left out but sometimes you’ve got to be the bigger person and not let it get you down, because if it shows that your depressed about not getting as much publicity then people will laugh in your facebecause itll make u seem like a whiner
Hey Gwenyth ! Maybe if you were not such a pathetic Moron and continuously talk down America , more people would like you. Truthfully , I can’t stand you, so face it , American’s don’t respect you and Scarlett is Hot & your Not !!!!!!!!!
Scarlett Johansson may be younger but Gwyneth paltrow is by far prettier and has more class and talent. Even if Gwyneth doesn’t get as much hype on Iron Man 2 publicity those of us that know real talent and beauty know that Gwyneth is the real talent in the movie.
One man speaks for all.All black men, white men older,
younger,whatever think this woman,Scarlett J.is somehow a goddess…..how does he know this.His opinion is everyone’s opinion.Not mine and maybe not any male movie star,poliicain,billionaire who picked a brunette or a Ph D in the last 100 years.Nothing against Scar. J, she is a great actress.
But this writer is so filled with himself and his sophomoric nonsense that I thought a would give him a (tiny)bit of feedback of how the world is doing
I think they both suck. All that airbrushing and photoshopping makes them seem beautiful when they’re just skinny and homely. The way they computerize movies these days makes them look like somewhere beneath that whiny diva, there might be some tiny glimmer of talent, then you realize, no, that’s just the lighting. They need someone up there who has been acting as long as they can remember because they wanted to be an actress, not because they wanted to be famous. Acting is an artform but people like them have turned it into a get rich quick scheme that’s all about vanity; who can be the skinniest? Who can create the biggest scandal? Both of them, as well as 85% or more of people in The Industry doesn’t deserve to be where they are and it’s a shame that those who truly want to act have to play into those afore mentioned.
That’s messed up because both are very talented actresses. It just sucks for Gwyneth that Scarjo decided to pull herself together for Iron Man 2. She’s young and has huge tits that can sell the movie like how Megan Fox single handedly sold the Transformers movies. But seriously speaking, I don’t think Scarjo belongs but if she put up a good performance and she looks good, you got to keep her in the movie.
I think Gwyneth is more upset about the money involved with the promos because if you are going to promote the movie with a different actress then you have to redo the money involved with the sequel pictures and that is going to fuck up everyone’s salary. Also the unprofessional behavior of the people involved with the movie as soon as Scarjo signed up probably upset her. While Downey and Rourke can deal with it because they’ve been around, you know that the director and everyone else working was acting real stupid. Just like how people were behaving retarded in Terminator Salvation, Hollywood is just getting unprofessional and people’s money is getting screwed around to satisfy the idiots who don’t even appreciate the dumb shit put in movies to entertain them.
Maybe Gwenith will feel better to realize in America, we pay with American dollars. Since she dispises Americans and our culture in so many of her interviews abroad. She certainly would not want any part of out NASTY currency anyway! She has said Americans only care about the mighty dollar, that we have no cullture, that we have no class, or intellect. Its about frickin time this British (or whatever she is) BITCH gets her frickin face out of our news and movies! I love seeing her life in turmoil! WAKE UP America, turn your back on this ummm woman, before she gets one more nasty dollar from YOU!
Scarlett is young and being promoted to beat the band. I highly doubt Gweneth who is too evolved a person to take popularity seriously cares about this other than perhaps the politics behind it all. people need to use their brains. She IS all American. She thinks for herself and her remarks were in support of the US taking responsibility. Somebody think we should not? The woman is truly beautiful inside and out and no doubt all the nay-sayers will agree in the end. She has more substance than 90 % of the Actors out there and is courageous enough to speak her mind. The writer of this article has the right job because it’s his job to create interest and controversy and I doubt very much he even believes what he wrote. Still it was malicious and immature. I doubt he’ll find many wanting his brand of writing as time goes on.
Ever notice how these actresses like Paltrow, Madonna,… talk down America, run to the U.K. and then find themselves back here to live! Not surprising what’s going on with these females. It never fail with women. They are catty, selfish, jealous, hateful pus as always.
I don’t like either of these ugly actresses. But I have to say, what an ego on that scarecrow called Gwyneth Paltrow. She disparages Americans and our culture every time she opens her cake hole and then in the next breath she is whining because she is being ignored by the same Americans. She’s a piece of work. She needs to take her old, ugly, has-been ass back under the rock from which she crawled. She won’t be missed.
You can’t believe everything you read especially when it comes to celebrity news, it’s considered entertainment. Unless you hear it first hand anyone with half a brain would have to wonder if it’s true, taken out of context, or misquoted. I like to read celebrity news as much as anyone but It’s entertainment and a lot of it set up to get readers. I’m sure everyone has heard the old hollywood saying “any press is good press” and a juicy celebrity catfight is a guanteed moneymaker. It’s amazing how people can get so excited and upset about people they don’t even know! Then willing to pass judgement and say mean things about thier talent or lack of and thier looks or lack of. I wonder if given the opportunity to meet these people in person if these things would be said to thier face. I bet not!
I meant sing :)
having giant tits isnt a talent.
I think you and “G” may have it totally wrong here. I believe Charlize Theron is pretty damn HOT and I believe they were able to make her look pretty damn NOT in the movie Monster.
Anyone agree?
