Conscious Uncoupling

Really? Did Gweneth Paltrow really refer to her pending divorce as "Conscious Uncoupling?" In recent years I have found her more and more pretentious. It is a shame since she was a huge part of one of my favorite movies. What is that you ask? Shallow Hall. If you haven't seen you should try to catch it the next time it is on. Not only is Charlotte featured in the film, but it is a great movie. Back to Gwen. It is always sad when parents of young children break up. But she has this way of putting her issues at a higher level than the same issues faced by other "normal" couples. There is a laundry list of quotes attributed to her that illustrate this stuck up attitude. The one that really got me this week was when she said that being an actress mom is harder than being a regular working mother. I mean come on and get a clue. You know what you can afford that most normal working mothers can't? Help. Sure you may work late when working on a film but there is always someone who is paid very well there to care for your kids when you are shooting some lame movie. So take my advice Gweneth and think before you talk. It will really help how the ordinary people who make your career possible view you.

Until tomorrow,
