Gwyn's American Rant

Gwyneth PaltrowIf you're in the business of upsetting nations, America's probably not the best one to choose.

It's rather big, you see.

And you'd think Gwyneth Paltrow would realise that, seems as she's actually native to the US.

But the actress wasn't fussed with patriotism during a recent interview with Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias. She told them:

"I don't fit into the bad side of American psychology.

"The British are much more intelligent and civilised than the Americans."

The actress, who is married to Brit Chris Martin, also said she preferred life in England, because it's not as "capitalistic" as the US.

"She sounds like she thinks she's better than us," one complained. "If she feels that way, we are far better off without her," another said.

But don't worry, Gwyn. As you've been so kind about Blighty, we'll let you shelter here.
