Gwyneth Paltrow Upset Over Upcoming Vanity Fair Cover Story
Gwyneth Paltrow is terrified that Vanity Fair might make her look like the terrible human being she really is, and she’s doing everything she can to stop them.
The New York Times reported last month that the 41-year-old actress e-mailed her “friends” urging them not to do anymore business with the magazine,
“Vanity Fair is threatening to put me on the cover of their magazine. If you are asked for quotes or comments, please decline. Also, I recommend you all never do this magazine again.”
It’s believed that the magazine originally asked her to help out with the cover story, but she declined and that’s when things went south. She has been on the cover of the magazine before, and every time they had nothing but nice things to say.
However, now that the magazine is being harder on celebrities, she doesn’t want anything to do with them. The editor of the magazine talked with The Times of London and explained that Paltrow’s resistance is just fueling the fire,
“We started a story on her. We have a very good writer and it’ll run…She sort of forced my hand. Some famous people believe that they live in a cone of celebrity that protects them.
But that doesn’t really exist any more in LA unless they stay in. I mean, you can be a well-known movie star and go decades without getting an embarrassing picture in a magazine just by leading a quiet, normal life.”
That’s what I have been saying this whole time. You could avoid the paparazzi and the gossip headlines if you would just become the boring person we all know you want to be.
It’ll be interesting to read the story. I’m not sure what they could say about Paltrow to make the world hate her even more than they already do.
