GWYNETH PALTROW LASHES AT PAPARAZZI

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow is vowing to stay away from the United States after a recent traumatic confrontation with the paparazzi in New York. The Oscar-winner was pounced upon by the celebrity snappers during a brief visit to Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital last week.Paltrow insists the media attention in American is much worse than in London, where she lives with her husband, Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, and their two children, Apple, 3, and Moses, 1. A friend of the couple tells the Chicago Sun Times that the star has vowed to rarely "cross the pond, unless I absolutely have to for work." The source adds, "Gwyneth was truly frightened by the intensity of the whole thing. She was feeling fragile at the moment and didn't need to face that." The couple was overwhelmed by the aggressive paparazzi when they left the New York medical center where Paltrow was being treated for "a gastrointestinal situation." Martin was later videotaped chasing a member of the paparazzi and grabbing his camera while shouting, "You've gotta have some respect."

Editors Note: No offence Gwyneth, but your husband started the whole fight. I saw the video and he went crazy for no reason. Perhaps he should be charged with assault. And besides, the United Kingdom paparazzi make us look like babies. Stay in England !
