In a misguided attempt to win over her London neighbours, American stick insect/movie star Gwyneth Paltrow has trashed the British capital in the new edition of Marie Claire magazine. Paltrow, who won an Oscar in 1999 for being thin and having famous parents, complains to the American version of the fashion rag that she hates London’s “cold and depressing” weather, its dirty streets and its lousy customer service. She would have complained about the food but she’s never tried it.

Her Majesty apparently longs for the U.S., where the streets glisten and salespeople are never rude. Only last month, Paltrow told the Toronto Globe and Mail that she has a European sensibility and didn’t want to live in America anymore, saying, “Bush’s anti-environment, pro-war policies are a disaster.” However, unlike in Britain, American drugstores stay open 24 hours a day. And that’s what really matters.
