Gwyneth Paltrow is angry

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 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?

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

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…

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… Read more »

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.

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… Read more »

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!

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… Read more »

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!

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.
