Paltrow Pissed, Pouty
She doesn’t pull like she used to
Our favorite smug elitist is allegedly angry over being left off the Iron Man 2 posters. According to The Sun, she thinks Scarlett Johansson is stealing her thunder (much like she stole Shakespeare in Love from Winona Ryder. Ahhh, frienemies). The Sun quotes a source as saying:
“Gwyneth was afraid she’d be upstaged by Scarlett and not being in the campaign was the final straw.
“She is furious she’s been left out.”
Gwyneth’s publicist denies the rumors, saying:
“She was not at all upset.
“The fans will get to see more of Pepper Potts as we get closer to the film’s release next May.”
Two things: 1) Even if she is pissed, well, look at the photos of the two characters. Who do you think is going to sell more tickets? It’s not that Gwyneth is physically unattractive. It’s just that Scarlett Johansson’s character plays into far more fantasies. The more money the movie makes, the more it benefits Gwyneth. 2) Gwyneth always “laughs off” this sort of thing and 99% of the time it turns out to have been true, so for now, we’re going to add petty to pissed and pouty.
In sadder news, it will be next summer before this hits the screens and we get to see RDJ be his badass self.
