Gwyneth Paltrow chooses death over Cup-A-Soup

Reason Not to Like Gwyneth Paltrow #70: she gets irrationally dramatic around convenience foods. According to the NY Daily News, the actress, who just finished directing a short film called Dealbreakers, flipped out when she spotted a box full of Cup-A-Soup on the set. "Who eats this stuff?" she demanded. When a crew member admitted that his kids were actually really into the additive-laden snack, Ms. Paltrow-Martin said – and you can wait for it, because it's totally worth it – "I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-A-Soup." Gwynnie famously adheres to a macrobiotic diet, but she once told the Evening Standard that she would be understanding if baby Apple "didn't want to be vegetarian or [wanted] to eat hydrogenated oils ... I'm not going to be a controlling, overprotective hippie." Guess she changed her mind, huh?

Likewise, the New York Daily News overdid it, too, in my opinion.

Sure, Paltrow's comments were not insensitive to junk-food lovers on her movie set, but to cite her Cup-a-Soup remarks as a reason to dislike her is just outright absurd.

I do hope that you were simply joking on your post!

By the way, I wrote about this, too, on my http://www.sugarshockblog.com/2005/08/gynweth_paltrow.html
