ndspinelli said...: There are so many talented actors and this prissy, entitled, talentless woman is a perfect example of just how political the movie industry has become.; 8/29/11, 8:21 AM
Scott M said...: Gwyneth is yummy with or sans primping.; 8/29/11, 8:22 AM
Big Mike said...: Her "sacrifice" doesn't look like much next to this example of dedication.; 8/29/11, 8:23 AM
DADvocate said...: without a stitch of makeup

A "stitch" of makeup? Odd phraseology. Clothes have stitches, not make up.

She still looks cute.; 8/29/11, 8:23 AM
DADvocate said...: Big Mike - I don't think those guys have ever left their post. Yes, that's dedication, and toughness.; 8/29/11, 8:25 AM

I wrote a book for you
And all the things yolks do
And it was all yellow; 8/29/11, 8:28 AM

She has phases?; 8/29/11, 8:36 AM

Case in point: Katy Perry.; 8/29/11, 8:38 AM

Dressed for the beach.

During a hurricane.; 8/29/11, 8:43 AM

No, but cosmetic surgery isn't make up.; 8/29/11, 8:47 AM

What interested me was that The Daily News wrote a whole article about this and got the hurricane involved.

Just monitoring the journalism.; 8/29/11, 8:57 AM

But people and the press just wouldn't shut up about it. This should have happened. That didn't happen. The City messed this up. How am I going to get home?

After awhile, I remember thinking: dudes: it's just some snow. People in Manhattan just like to bitch and a distressing weather event is...the perfect storm.; 8/29/11, 9:08 AM

traditionalguy said...: Hurricane Irene was a sideshow run by the media.

In Tripoli they say that the real Hurricane of War has left their city without power, petrol and food.

That was no accident. It was done to them by design by NATO bombs. And the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain at NATO is named President Obama.

And while we sleep, President Obama is also behind the curtain sending EPA Regulation Bombs that are rendering the USA without power, petrol and food.

The President and his minions are at war with us!
Now that is news.; 8/29/11, 9:41 AM
edutcher said...: Dare we presume she would have appeared naked if an earthquake, tidal wave, and nuclear meltdown were at hand?

If memory serves, Paltrow's father was somebody at one of the nets, so she should have been through this a couple of times and should have known how this would turn out, but, given how intellectually deficient she apparently is, that may be asking the moon.

And, yes, though not my type, she looks nice.

Also, what Big Mike said.; 8/29/11, 10:06 AM
Ralph L said...: She looks better without her usual raccoon eyes.; 8/29/11, 11:51 AM
William said...: I think, on occasion, movie stars make a deliberate effort to dress down and appear unattractive. This is like the camouflage outfit they wear in public....Maybe she's dressing for the role. Writers don't wear makeup.; 8/29/11, 11:52 AM

Her dad is Bruce Paltrow, director and producer. Her mom is Blythe Danner.; 8/29/11, 8:51 PM
